Peak Forest to Preston Brook single handed?

Mooring in Castlefield junction is still fine, use the Staffordshire arm. I stayed 2 nights back in July and there was space for other boats the whole time. You can moor on both sides of each fork of the arm even though it looks quite narrow...but if you haven't been before it can look too tight and this may be behind some of the stories that Castlefield is full up😅

Would have loved to have done that last time we were there, except it was blocked off... 😞

 

Trying to turn a 69' boat round at the far end of the main arm is an interesting experience given the amount of silt there...
