  1. I like the sounds of this! I perhaps need to look at some more detail of this. Being quite new to it all I didn't know the timings despite a ver versions of trips on canal plan...and also not sure now if there is safe moorings to leave a boat for a week at a time. thanks again....
  2. Somewhat bumping an old thread... I watched the first of these episodes the other day (Hull to Wakefield or so) having been quite excited of my love film disc arriving and thought he was thoroughly awkward and turned it off not long after he left Stanley Ferry workshops....I hope the rest get better but thought it was great exposure for the waterways....
  3. Hi everyone, Thank you for the welcome and your responses. We're hoping to spend 10 days or so on the LL in the summer and we're trying to get an idea of potential progress to give us an idea of out potential cruise distance so we can plan places to see/go/visit/eat etc. We're not looking forward to tunnels in our very very zig laggy outboard powered boat lol....the zig laggy is mostly due to inexperience but is certainly a little more difficult only being able to steer under power but hope to add an outboard rudder to assist in this matter.... Yes agreed Martin the A&CN seems to have more GRP than steel boats, its like a motorway for some of the larger/more powerful boats that take no notice of moored boats....had my little yoghurt pot bounced a few times last year by a certain salt wind I think it was that doesn't seem to appreciate the effects of big powerful lumps even in the slightly deeper A&CN. Thanks again everyone....might have to do one of those nb style blogs when we make the trip, unfortunately can't get enough time off work to do the whole LL
  4. Hey everyone, I've browsed for a while as a guest and have finally bought my first boat. A small Viking narrow beam. Its on the aire & calder at the moment. How is the LL for small narrow cruisers? Do many GRP boats use it? What is progress like on the LL with traffic etc? I've checked with canalplan for timings etc but wondered how much the time of year etc had an effect. Lots of questions... Thanks everyone
