AJB1 Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Can anyone recommend somewhere on the Birmingham and Worcester canal coming out of Birmingham that is good for a 14day mooring please? We are not sure about leaving it in a city. Also the commonwealth games are on! thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I would say the city centre 14 day moorings (eg Cambrian Basin) are “safer” than eg the Vale (opposite the Uni). However as you say, with the Games being on the moorings will likely all be taken and I think CRT have introduced a booking system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-M Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 All the Birmingham moorings have been made 4 days I think during the games. There was a stoppage notice last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Does Sherborne Wharf still offer moorings? You could pay your pound instead of dumping a boat and denying a visitor space for the games. 🤷♀️just an idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only as far as St Vincent Street bridge that revert to 4 days, the other side of the bridge stays as 14 day, although I don't think leaving a boat unattended there for 2 weeks is a great idea. Sherbourne Wharf would be an option, but you would think they would be booked up if this is over the games period. You could look at one of the boatyards at Alvechurch or Tardibigge.

Mike55 Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Not quite where the OP wants, but we used Lyons boatyard on the North Stratford a few years ago. They were very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vale isn't opposite the uni as such, it's opposite the student accomodation. It's a good place to moor. Further down opposite the actual uni is also good but a little shallow against the towpath (moor near the hydrogen boat or further along before the aqueduct. It's especially handy if you want to leave you boat and head away by train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
