Getting back to base

[DaveR]

We are at present just South of Macclesfield and heading back to the Marina at Thorne.

 

Due to many different things the boat is rather further away from base than I had originally intended and I am now reduced to moving the boat a bit at a time. I am able to get back to the UK every other weekend when I will have either the full Saturday or Sunday to make progress. I recon I can reasonably do about 25 lock miles in a day.

 

I intend to complete the Mac and then onto the Huddersfield Narrow going onto the Aire and Calder then 'home'.

 

Does anyone forsee any problems with what I intend to do (advice on leaving her on the towpath etc.) - I know to book the Standedge well in advance.

 

Thanks

Your quite welcome to leave her with us when you get to Mirfield on the Calder & Hebble if you want.

Your next stop could be in the Ashton-u-Lyne area, for a temporary mooring try;

 

Lees narrowboats at Hyde 0161 367 9205 or

Portland Basin Marina Dukinfield 0161 330 3133

 

In both cases explain your predicament.

Thankyou or the invite Gary - I will bring the other half, wife too!
