Thorfast Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 We did almost the same journey when we bought our narrowboat 4 years ago and decided to keep it at Tattenhall. It was a glorious 3 week autumn cruise as we got to know the boat and enjoying life aboard. Members of the family came and joined us for weekends and to welcome us to Tattenhall - a great journey.......... Grand Union Oxford North Coventry Canal Trent and Mersey Canal Staffs and Worcs Canal Shropshire Union .....you can see we went the longer way round. Enjoy the journey to your new home.
