[Hi everyone]

I,ve looked on the boaters guide map and the moorings at the rear of our (soon to be) house are 14 day.

Do I need to apply to BW to use these as winter moorings?

[Hi everyone]

Thanks Wendy, there are moorings behind our house but I don't know what term they are, I will make enquiries.

[Hi everyone]

Thanks stoney, yeah we are itching to get moved then we can concentrate on getting the boat and hit the water.

[Hi everyone]

Hi everyone, I've been spying on you all for the last few months, picking your brains and gaining knowledge of the canal scene.

The wife and I will be moving to a canalside house in Rudheath, Northwich in the next few weeks and very shortly after will be buying a 57 foot narrowboat.

We have done quite a few boating hol's on the Broads and Thames and have decided we want to cruise the canals now. My job gives me quite a bit of time off ( I work 4 nights on and 4 off ) so we will get quite a lot of use out of our own boat.

I am struggling to find a mooring for the boat, my house backs on to the towpath on the Trent and Mersey and I am told by BW that I cannot have end of garden mooring on the towpath side.

I have tried the nearest marinas that I know of i.e. Anderton (both) and Orchard marina, all are full.

I am waiting for BW to send me a list of available moorings to tender for but as far as I can see on-line there is only 1 on the T&M.

Does anyone have any other places I could try.

 

Thanks in anticipation, Les.
