62' boat in Todmorden - rochdale

[Hudds Lad]

Are you intending to live on, or leisure boat?

 

You can always move the boat further South with better cruising options. That's why ours is down near Braunston at the moment, plenty of cruising options and its only a couple of hours down the M1.

When we had the shareboat over on the L&L it was nearer, but nearly the same travelling time due to all the "smart" motorway shenanigans on the M62  

 

If someone could make the HNC better and add a marina we'd be bringing it up home in a flash

More passages through Standedge might be needed too. Maybe a spanking new comms system would help? 😉

They're wedged in like jenga, no good if you want to go anywhere.

That huge field in front of Titanic Mill would be a great location for a marina, but, no good if you want to go anywhere

Is New Mills any good? It seemed pretty decent as we passed it and New Mills itself was nice to visit?

I thought they had moorings to rent out on the towpath as well? (At Aspley)

They do, i'd still not fancy it  Good access to Sainsbury's though

Aspley is a good Marina.It's the location that is not good. 

A lift bridge and nine locks on the Broad to get to the C+H, forty two locks on the Narrow to get to Standedge.

Plus you have to book lock 1E on the narrow 48 hours in advance.

Aspley is fine if you don't move too often.

Yeah, it's only about 6yrs or something since they found a body under a bush down there
