How many sailing hours from Nelson Lane to Long Buckby Wharf?

[Rob and Heather]

Hi,

 

To compound our problems, we are delighted that our daughter will be joining us for 3 days, the only snag is, she lives in London. Studying the maps (Grand Union and Railways), it would appear (to me at least) that our best option would be to meet up at Long Buckby Wharf, as it is fairly close to the railway station.

 

Please advise us if it is at all possible for a pair of boating novices to sail from Kate’s Boats - Nelson Lane to Long Buckby Wharf, sailing on Saturday and hopefully reach Long Buckby Wharf by Tuesday evening, or, are we being too ambitious?

Any advice will be gratefully received.

Its about 2 days cruising if you cruise for about 7-8 hours a day.

Should be easily possible in three days.

For an experienced crew that's an easy two days so even as novices you should easily manage it in 3. If you do run out of time, you can always stop at the top of Buckby - that's no distance away by road and there's a really good pub there
