Both my husband and myself are researching purchasing a live aboard wide beam barge. We are complete novices and apart from a weekend trip in a narrow boat years ago have never managed to afford an extended stay in a widebeam. My husband subscribes to barging videos but we really need to speak to someone who is experienced and skilled. Ideally, we’d like to spend an afternoon on board to get a Feel for it and experience managing the locks. We are not yet retired and therefore need to be within commuting distance of our jobs in north leeds. Ideally we would like to moor along the Leeds Liverpool Canal but not in a city. Perhaps we are just being naive, but like a lot of other people we are just seeking a better quality of life! Thank you for reading, happy to receive any replies.
