Thank you everyone for the quick replies! Fingers crossed Paul but sadly the writing is on the wall and don't worry Dave willing to push bike it in but looks like Bath/Bradford Avon are the winners so far (I cycled in most of the winter here and look forward to being able to sit in a warm bus/train. I've looked into housing benefit for the boat (which I fogot to mention is a 40fter narrow) Hoping it won't be neasary but plan for the worst and all. Does housing bemfit require me to notify the gov or anyone that I live full time on on boat before you apply for the befit it's self as, as it stands I haven't? ( all my mail goes to my family home where I stayed for a couple of years (sister lost her job and we all need a roof!) Thank you all again, you have laided some worries to rest

Hi all! I'm pretty new to the cut ( last september ) and sadly looks like I will be made redundant from my job of 7 years in the near future :/ I come and have lived in a fairly small village on the K & A. As work is so scarce in my area I have decided to move to Bristol on my boat and as my redundacy pay will only be a small amount (£2000- £2500) will not be able to afford mooring fee's in the near future in all likely hood. As far as work goes I'll do whatever pays the bills but transport is a issus as i do not drive (aside from the barge ) Now to my questions (I have searched as much as I can but getting online can be differcult and thus far have not been able to find much in the way of info and was hoping someone could help me who lived near by or has been in the same sort situation ) 1) Can you moor in bristol its self with out paying fee's if you're willing to move every two weeks inside bristol it's self( I'm a genuine C C at the moment and walk/cycle or bus into my current job) 2) I understand that commuting into Bristol from along the canal is farly easy (from what I've read) but was wondering what the rough cost of buses and trains tend to be and how easy it is to get these ( I figure a hour or 2 traveling a day is ok if the they run early enough ( get you into the city before 8 or 9am)) I'm sorry if these sound like stupid questions but at a bit of a loss at the moment and could do with any and all help. I know the first question is a bit of a no brainer and assume you can't but best to ask right? Thank you and may I say great web site and community, has helped me out with a lot of things these last few months should of joined rather than lurked long ago!
