Hi,
After being to numerous boats shows / festivals, my wife and I have decided to look into buying a narrowboat.
Before we buy and while we peruse various boats etc, I would like to get people's opinion / advice on suitable mooring locations.
Initially, due to work commitments, we would be using the boat at the weekends and a few weeks throughout the year, but dont want to be limited to just one river / canal.
We live in north Notts, Mansfield to be exact, so the Trent and Chesterfield are the closest. Been to visit the wonderful tea room at Torksey Lock on numerous occasions, this also looks a nice place to have a mooring, again would this limit my choice?
Also been to Beeston, Red Hill and Sawley marinas, these giving more scope for travel.
Your opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and regards,
Paul
