Just through the tunnel . Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated Mike

Hi Booked for the tunnel tomorrow and just informed that the East side is currently stopped lock 16E to 1E due to a problem at 12E. Are there good places to leave a boat for a few days between Marsden and 16E Thanks Mike

Thanks for the advice. Mike

I'm in 57ft narrow boat; heading for Ripon. Is there any 2 week towpath mooring on the short Ripon Canal ? Failing that what are the alternate options ? Mike

I recently spent the night in Milton, about 3 boats worth of new rings near the Millrise Road bridge. Visited the chippy on Leek Road and No 41 on Millrise Road. No 41 had 2 real ales at 3.30 a pint, sports tv and good internet, friendly crowd. Seemed like a good spot to moor near Stoke. Interesting canal with some beautiful scenery but the towpath mooring unpredictable due to growth.

Hi Got to Castlefield to find notices reserving the "tuning fork" Stafford Arms visitor moorings reserved for the Lymm CC visit. Had checked the BWC website for notices, based on Pie Eaters post, and it mentioned closure of these mooring in April, May , June and July at various times; but nothing for August. I'm tucked out of the way, which should be good for 2 days. Thanks for help Mike

Just moored near The Trafford Centre. Will be round to Castelield first thing and will update Thanks all for helpful advice Mike

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll get there in the morning and see what i can find

Hi johnmck I'm currently just NW of Wigan on the LL. Was hoping to stay in Manchester for 2 nights. If that doesn't work out, would like to moor somewhere is Sale where I can catch the tram into the city. I've moored at Lymm and various places West of Lymm but not near Sale. Any tips welcome Mike Hi IanD Well its not a big detour, I will pop by and take a look unless i hear its rammed Mike

Hi I was hoping to spend a couple of nights in Castlefield like i did pre-pandemic. Have read posts about most of the moorings are now permanent. With the Rochdale closed, what are the chances of finding a visitor mooring ? Probably arriving Friday 25th August Thanks Mike

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated

Any tips on the best place to overnight before going into Liverpool. As the link doesn't open until 1pm it doesn't seem necessary to get too close the night before. Any suggestions welcome

Thanks for the advice, Moored there right now. Ideal for central Bath. Seems strange that there are so few rings and folks are tied to the newly installed fence.

Hi Any more recent information about mooring in the Bath area ? Would like to explore the city. Will be arriving from Bristol Mike

Thanks for suggestions/advice Mike
