slip ways and crane access nearby peak forest canal

[Dave1976]

Good Afternoon could anybody give me advice please. I have recently purchased my first narrow boat and it is currently on the peak forest canal and i need to get it to a nearby slip way so i can stand a 50tonne crane to lift on to a transporter lorry. and also of anybody that would be willing to tow my 47foot boat to the slip way as not currently running. many thanks Dave

Welcome to the forum. You appear to have posted your request twice.

 

Sorry can't help with details, but im sure someone will be able to advise soon.

[Dave1976]

Yeah sorry as i was told it was under wrong category i tried on the general boating one.

Ah, ok. Hopefully one of the mods will remove the other one (think @BruceinSanity reported it).

I think there's a slipway at New Mills Marina, but two points occur to me:  why do you need a slipway if you're proposing to use a crane, and whereabouts on the Peak Forest - it's in two separated bits ATM.

[Boater Sam]

NCCC moorings at High Lane possibly, they have a slip.

John Jackson at Kerridge Dry Dock definitely. 01625574287

I did, but was told by a mod that as it was asking for suggestions, putting it in Suggestions and Feedback was ok. My apologies to the OP, I’d thought that was for Forum related stuff, silly me.

 

Anyway, my suggestion of approaching NCCC at High Lane has also come up here.

Where are you transporting it to? Presumably a boatyard to get it fixed?

[Cheshire cat]

Could be looking to get around the closures?

[Dave1976]

Thanks for the suggestions i have spoke to Brian at nccc he has room for the crane and may even be able to assist with towing from Furness vale. does anybody know of any closures between these two points please that could also cause me an issue.

[Gareth E]

Just 2 or 3 swing bridges to get there, no locks, no stoppages at the moment. It's probably around 8 miles to go there, maybe 4 hours under tow.

[Dave1976]

cheers for that just need to hope Brian can help me out with a tow as i think the engine i was told just needed a new alternator and fuel lines flushing may be more like a replacement engine.

Hi does anybody know of a location that i can set up a 50t crane near Furness vale end of the peak Forrest canal to lift out my boat

Speak to some of the boat transport experts such as Ray Bowern and Tuckeys, what they won't know about craneage locations probably isn't worth knowing

[Dave1976]

Cheers everyone that commented i will be having it lifted from Bollington wharf marina.
