Moving boat

[jaime66]

Looking to move our boat from Glascote Basin to Venetian Marina on the Middlewich branch but cant move her till dec and looking at stoppages should have a clear run after the 17/12 so for past experiences do you think this will be possible ?

Which way are you proposing to go?

 

Via stoke

This is a trip of 70 miles, 5¾ furlongs and 59 locks from Glascote Dock to Venetian Marina.

This will take 40 hours which is 5 days, 5 hours at 7 hours per day.

Via shroppie
This is a trip of 88 miles, 6¼ furlongs and 49 locks from Glascote Dock to Venetian Marina.

This will take 43 hours and 34 minutes which is 6 days, 1 hour and 34 minutes at 7 hours per day.

 

You have about 7.5 hours of day light per day

You should be OK unless there is an unplaned stoppage, you should clear Harecastle well before Christmas

Which ever route is open ... we will use

If you are planning the Harecastle/Stoke route, make sure  you are aware of the very limited opening times in the Winter, and book well ahead.

Shroppie locks are nicer than the T&M IMHO.
