Arf Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 In usual Peel style, this notice hasn't gone out on their website or to CRT. The Staffordshire and Kenworthy Arms (basically the only remaining visitor moorings in Castlefield) are closed from 9 to 29 September 2021 because they've put a big stage over the top of them. So any CRT boaters coming through this way basically have nowhere to stop - the other arms were full this morning and are occupied by permanent moorings now. Just as well there are loads of easy to access safe places to stop nearby... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Peel really are appalling. Someone needs to take that canal away from them! I suppose the only place to go is above the first lock of the Rochdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Stretford, (mooring rings at The Watch House Cruising Club), or near Stretford Marina, (less easy for a tram), or Trafford Centre, (no idea about trams).

I suppose the only place to go is above the first lock of the Rochdale. Peel have wanted CaRT to take over the Bridgewater Canal for years.........please note, just the canal and the water, not any of the land....... CaRT have been, very sensibly, declining Peel's "kind" offer due to the fact that the Bridgewater needs tens of millions of pounds spending on it. Most, if not all, of the aqueducts leak and the Barton Swing Bridge needs upwards of 6 million quid spending on it alone....................
