Huddersfiedl Narrow East Mooring

[Iceni_exporer]

Hi

 

Booked for the tunnel tomorrow and just informed that the East side is currently stopped lock 16E to 1E due  to a problem at 12E.

 

Are there good places to leave a boat for a few days between Marsden and 16E

 

Thanks

 

Mike

In between lock 21 and 22 East in Slaithwaite is a good place. Very sad to hear that its closed once again. Such a lovely canal.

I have left my boat several times just above Lock 31E, at The Kettle - a quiet mooring (no rings) with a house opposite.  15 minute walk to Marsden, or a short walk across the field to the road with the Olive Tree restaurant and a frequent bus service to Slaithwaite and Huddersfield or Marsden.

The 'new' moorings below the guillotine between 24E and 23E - a number of other boats and one of the longer pounds. Best by the proverbial long chalk 🙂

That's a huge improvement from last time we were there before these were done, high and collapsing wash wall with shallow edge and no rings IIRC. Still we managed to have breakfast in the excellent bakery/cafe, and pick up some beer from the brewery, so not all bad 🙂

After our 'interesting' experience (see a previous post) at THAT BL00DY LOCK (and thank you Glen, aka BeerBeerBeer, for your help that day) we tried to pull in there but the top was too near the bottom.

Just through the tunnel .

 

Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated
