Searching for Short term Mooring - Brum

[gosser]

I'm due to do a 3 month contract in the middle of Birmingham and intend to chug my 59ft boat there from Hemel Hempstead and live on it. Does anyone know of any reasonable moorings within stiking distance of Birmingham? Alternatively, does anyone with a mooring near there want to do a temporary swap for mine in Hemel Hempstead? I don't mind 30 minutes drive, but the nearer to Brum the better

I know its a bit of a long shot, but you could give BW a ring and just maybe, they might be able to help.

Yep, give BW a ring, there'll be plenty of towpath winter moorings available, if my expeience is anything to go by.

I believe the Black Country Museum (Canal Tours part) close down over the winter period.

 

They may let you stop there for a couple of months. Its about 30 mins by bus into centre of Birmingham from there.

Thanks for the suggestions - I got a great result from BW: a winter mooring at Cambrian Wharf, literally 5 mins walking distance from where I'm working... £5.70 per metre per month

Wow right in the City Centre, what a result!
