Thanks everyone so far. No mooring yet, was looking at whether either were possible. think I will go elsewhere first until i get a bit more pro. Shame that this area doesn't connect to london waterways.

Hi, I am new to boating and wondering if a Narrowboat would get out of the Thames and then up towards Chelmsford on the River Crouch. Obviously I'd pick a day of good weather but even with that, is it possible? How long would you expect it to take? The driver is experienced with boats in general and will have had the experience of sailing it from Lancaster to London so will be quite good with my boat by the time this (potentially) happens. thanks, Kiko

Does it have to be professionally done? any reason my partner can't do it while I'm at work!?! thanks (newbie with a boat that could do with an external clean up)

Hi, I bid for a narrowboat with 17mins to go, having done little research on the whole thing. its based in Lancaster, I'm far south so are throwing ourselves into an adventure. All i know is that I am very excited about being able to move around and explore and have wanted a boat for sometime now. Quit my job as a teacher last week in london and starting a social enterprise so working from home will be very do-able (outside london) looking forward to learning from my mistakes and becoming a fully fledged boater!! not to mention discovering and investigating the UK! thanks kiko and Charlie
