W+T Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I `think` we have decided on a spot, Skipton was good but then after much thought nah without going into details.I found a mooring at Hest Bank but a tow path and rather better security.So a though on as i like sea fishing and no locks ( T`s idea as she is lock`y lol ) Anywhere north of Gastang so then its a half day cruise to Hest Bank and Morcombe/Lancaster. I will be calling Bridge house and Garstang Marina tomorrow to see what the mooring rates are and see if anything is available or upcoming.Any opinions s on these Marinas ?Wayne PS happy to look elsewhere nearby a si have googled mapped for ages and see a lot about but no info.

TheBiscuits Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Try Moons Bridge Marina - it's considerably less than Bridgehouse Marina. There are a whole load of private moorings from Preston to Garstang - look on Google/Bing maps at satellite view of the canal and you will see dozens of moorings. Finding out who owns them can be tricky, but most of them have a phone number on a sign next to them. Roots Lane and Blackleach Lane might be a good place to start. If you want to be nearer to Lancaster, look around Galgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the above mentioned marinas are excellent and Garstang is a good base. There are also many on-line and off-side moorings, both CRT and private, heading north to Galgate, Hest Bank, or even Tewitfield right at the top. Is it a cruiser you are looking to moor?

W+T Posted January 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 A good chap pointed me in the direction of a farm mooring near Cabus, dirt cheap as i like them. No facilities but for the money i am not going to grumble, will be checking it out this weekend and if as good as it sounds i will take it now. Cant hang around. The marinas are nice but dam expensive, even looked at Glasson docks, i was told its a good price there towards other places, not exactly, well good spot but a lot to moor as more i pay the less for the next project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
