Leeds/Wakefield Temporary Moorings

[LutraSkip]

I am planning (for us) a big trip from the Midlands to Yorkshire in the summer. We will need to leave our 59 foot narrowboat for about 7 days from around 7th/8th July to go back home. We expect by then to be somewhere approaching Leeds/Wakefield. We need shore power as our freezer will be stocked and running and will otherwise seriously empty the batteries. Can anyone help with advice about a suitable, safe mooring, ideally close to public transport?

 

Just a thought, but if anyone with a suitable mooring in the area will be out of it themselves during that week, we will gladly offer a reasonable fee to use it, or, alternatively, reciprocal use of our berth in Market Harborough for a few days, which is likely to be empty from late May to the end of September.

Consider Lemonroyd Marina - - they should be able to manage with a week on their visitor moorings (which are fully serviced AFAIK)

I too would consider Lemonroyd as per G+F's suggestion.

 

Whilst not having direct access to public transport Woodlesford station is a 15-20 minute walk along the towpath or of course a short taxi ride away. That puts you on a 10 minute train ride into central Leeds.

 

To enquire you need first to ring Hull Marina -

Thanks for the very useful advice. Lemonroyd have agreed to find us a mooring for the week. And it will have power.

I mean the private moorings at Granary Wharf not CRT's as they don't have electric. You can stay as long as you require at the private ones.
