jaime66 Posted October 24, 2021 Report Posted October 24, 2021 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 ?
StephenA Posted October 24, 2021 Report Posted October 24, 2021 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
ditchcrawler Posted October 24, 2021 Report Posted October 24, 2021 You should be OK unless there is an unplaned stoppage, you should clear Harecastle well before Christmas
jaime66 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Posted October 24, 2021 Which ever route is open ... we will use
matty40s Posted October 24, 2021 Report Posted October 24, 2021 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. 1
Detling Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 Shroppie locks are nicer than the T&M IMHO. 1
