It's our first time on the Huddersfield Narrow, joining from the West End at Portland Basin. Last evening we thought we'd never be able to moor, and ever getting to bed! There was another boat following us up, who shared our predicament.
I'm sure the boat's bottom was dragged along the silt for most of the time. After failing to moor 6 times at a seemingly likely place, and getting stuck, we finally moored on Lock 14 lock landing at 9.30pm! We never saw any mooring areas, except the services, where a boat was already moored.
We phoned the canal society, who's let us have the day moored to the landing - thank goodness. Only one boat has passed us today, and they were going down the locks, I don't believe we caused any problems.
Wondering if anyone have any tips for this canal, please? I know we should have researched more!
Thanks for any help!
