  1. Thanks Howard, Aldermaston pointed us to the Thames and Kennet who have a 'boat lift cradle'. I've just got to ring round and get a price for road transport.
  2. Willdo thanks. Aldermaston can do up to 17 ton but our may be over. They did advise the Thames and Kennet marina. Thanks will try that.
  3. Hello all, We are presently moored in Newbury on the Kennet and Avon and need our 57 ft narrowboat lifting onto road transport. Aldermaston marina only do up to 17 tons and if I'm not mistaken ours may be around 17 ton or more. Has anyone any knowledge of who can provide this service. thanks, Mike
  4. Thanks Loddon, will check them out . Thanks Monkey hanger, will check them out. Thanks Tracy, will check them out.
  5. We are looking for narrowboat insurance for a 3 year old, 57ft, owner fitout. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
  6. Thanks Alec, my wife thought it had something to do with fear, her reply when I asked her what she thought nappy pin meant' was ''when yer crap yourself going across the Ribbe'' spoke in a north east acent. I nearly thought so too.
  7. Thanks. of course we have anchor , moorings pins and log splitter, but not goat chain. Is the nappy pins a joke or is that slang for something else.
  8. Another question to ask ( only because this site is a great recourse for answers) is Apart from handcuff key, standard windlass and crt key, do we need any other type of metal object, ta , Mike
  9. Probably 8 - 9 a day sometimes more sometimes less, always variables I guess, still, after doing the Rochdale in the rain ice and cold, and locks gates that sometimes take 3 people to open them. i'm hoping the trip may be a little easier. We leave mid September and hopefully get there before end of October.
  10. Many thanks for the sujjestions I certainly intend to work it out for myself , but not tonight but being the impatient person I am I need to know a very rough idea so I have a christmas dinner cooked .
  11. My wife and I are are cruising from Tarleton on the rufford arm of the Leeds and Liverpool to the Kennet and Avon. We will be leaving mid September. A question with many variables , I know but does anyone know a ballpark/ football pitch idea of days involved. 57 foot narrowboat. Thanks , Mike
  12. Sound like a wise women. I use our sheets for cleaning the cooker and boat when I need something to do, the only difference is the sheets are not old , my wife keeps asking me where are all the sheets. I quote back to her ' only one sheet' in a strange accent. Of course I have by this point had a glass or two.
