http://canalplan.org.uk/ try this Total distance is 70 miles, 5¼ furlongs and 15 locks. There is at least 1 small aqueduct or underbridge. This is made up of 16 miles, 7¾ furlongs of broad canals; 8 miles of small rivers; 28 miles, 3¾ furlongs of large rivers; 17 miles, 1½ furlongs of tidal rivers; 8 broad locks; 7 large locks. This will take 23 hours, 14 minutes which is 3 days, 2 hours and 14 minutes at 7 hours per day. For calculation purposes this is taken as 3 days.

Hi muddymoo

Hi and welcome

Not to bad then

Just been having a chat to my old dear.. and it came up about the max length a nb can be to fit though all the locks

Can u access the canal system from there at all??

Nope not tied to any area so our search isn't limited ..its going to be find a marina even if it means paying for mooring for a boat we don't have

The kids need a structure so home schooling don't work to we'll with them lol.. would love to Cc but it's not a viable option atm The care of my kids are our top priority. Nothing will ever replace that.

Social services have nothing to do with them so no need to worry on that count.I grow up on a borrow boat and lived afloat on the boards for 3 years Yes we know that's going to be one off the biggest issues we are going to face

That's one area we open on. I grow up on the grand union. So central England or Midlands really

It would be a full residential mooring we look for. So access to schools hospital appointments and such like are easier..just cursing on weekends and school holidays.. We are booked for a week in October. Kids love being on the water

The wife and I are planning on getting a live aboard within the next 2-3 years .what are the main pitfalls of having kids on a boat.....kids are 9,7 and 3 the youngest 2 have adhd an autism so are hard work but learn quickly so safety is not a real issue..

Thanks for the welcome. It's not my first time living on a boat so know what winters can be like lol
