Hello, my first post here!
I've just bought my first nb (43' trad), but she's moored on the Leeds and Liverpool in Burscough, Lancashire. I was planning on spending a month or so cruising down to Lee Navigation in Hertfordshire, but stoppages mean I can't even get to Manchester until March!
Does anyone know somewhere near Burscough where I can get lifted out and/or a trucking company to haul it down. I've given Tuckey's a call, but they just recommended a marina who charged ~£660 +VAT for cranage out one way!
As for the Hertford end, my friend has recommended Stanstead Abbotts where she's had her boat out before.
Any recommendations would be great, and all advice greatly appreciated
