  1. boatmail.co.uk http://www.boatmail.co.uk Originally developed for canal boaters who are enjoying a continuous cruising lifestyle, the service is now available to everyone who has a changing delivery requirement for their post. The site also includes the facility to have a street address for those who require a land based facility
  2. As you can see from the postings, there are several ways to get an estimated time to travel along a canal but few that are actually based on how long it took I have travelled the majority of the canal system and have logged the time I took along most of the major routes. These can be found on my website - look for which canal you are using, click on the link and a table shows the times between the towns/villages/locks etc http://www.boatmail.co.uk/Worcs%20&%20Birmingham.htm
  3. Sammie You may find this link helpful as I record the time it took me along a canal so that the info can be useful to others and myself for the next time http://www.boatmail.co.uk/Birmingham%20&%20Fazeley.htm I would not moor anywhere further north than Minworth thinking the last 'safe' place to be The Kingsley Arms pub - good moorings outside When you get to GSB, the better moorings are outside the NIA as these are generally quieter and have CCTV to keep an eye on you !

  4. Susie Only just joined the group so looking through older posts ! You will find moorings quite easily but residentials are hard to find iunless you want to be on a waiting list for sometime. It may easier to find a morring that turns a blind eye to liveaboards so you can get onto the baot quite quickly and wait for the elusive residential mooring to appear As for running a business from a boat, unless you have residential status, it is doudful that you will have mail delivered to the place where your boat is moored. Have you considered having an address provided by a mail forwarding company with the mail sent to where you may be working or to be collected at the local Post Office under the Poste Restante arrangement ? If you put 'mail forwarding' into google you will find many companies who provide this service John www.boatmail.co.uk
  5. Pete You may like to consider having a mail forwarding address in the UK so as far as the authorities are concerned, you have a permanent address. You could choose which, if not all your mail, could be sent there and of course could be forwarded to anywhere you are in the world If you search on 'mail forwarding' in google or one of the other search engines, you will find many companies that provide these servcices John
