  1. Four Counties ring. If you get in front you have options to explore other canals.
  2. Have a browse through the narrowboatwill vlog as he has been in that area.
  3. There is also a good chippy near Kings lock.
  4. We only used fenders when mooring up.
  5. A lot will depend on what time you can set off on the boat and also what time you have to return it. As it does not go dark until about 10pm at that time of year you could do a longer day if needed as you may get in queues at the locks. You should have enough time providing you do not stop at a pub twice a day.
  6. The winding hole moorings look like they will be a popular overnight stop.
  7. Our first hire boat holiday was from L & L Cruisers at Adlington. It would have been during the 1970s.
  8. Turn a tap on and follow the sound of running water back to the water tank and then look for the inlet.
  9. If you do want to purchase jump leads I would suggest you buy the extra long heavy duty type as you never know when you may need them.
  10. Get to know who your neighbouring boaters use in emergencies.

    Tow

    Have you asked any passing boats for a tow in that direction. No harm in asking and you may be lucky to get a tow part way if not all the way.

    I think that you need to look at a canal map and explain where you are intending to go as it is confusing.

    Tow

    White Bear ? That is at Adlington, near Chorley

    Tow

    I think that is the marina next to Plank Lane lift bridge. Also known as Bickershaw marina.

    Tow

    I read it that he had only put the boat back in water 24 hours ago.

    Tow

    Ask a passing boater if they can help.
  17. These are the ones that I used annually.
  18. I have always used Sikkens stain (as Tracy said)
  19. The North end of the tunnel is a bit grotty so I would avoid it for an overnight mooring.
  20. Put the rag in a zip lock freezer bag and use it again.
  21. We have stopped at the junction of the Caldon canal and also near Westport lake without any problems.
  22. I am ringing the RSPCA 😜
  23. Didn't he get a purple fat boat near Manchester?
  24. Venetian Marina have a small canal side shop, chandlers and cafe.
