River Wear

[Phillipe el guapo]

I am planning to use the Anderton Lift bridge next year and explore the River Wear. Got a 57 foot boat and plan to go down to Winsford Bridge then turn and go to Weston Point Docks then back t Anderton Lift Bridge. Any tips? Turning at Weston Docks and Winsford Bridge OK?

Hi Phillipe

 

There was recent thread about the river Weaver, no problems in where you plan to turn.

 

I will try to find the thread and comeback with the link.

In fact there are quite few, here's two to start:

If you have a search (top right) of the forums, they will appear.

You'll find you can turn almost anywhere on the Weaver. It's a great big thing, not at all like a canal

It's just like boating on a very wide canal, very controlled flow with locks and nice places to moor.

And the River Wear is navigable from the sea at Sunderland for 10 miles up to Chester-le-Street. But the Anderton Lift won't help you get there.

And are you really handsome, Philippe?
