Welcome to our boating site. Here you will find details of the boat for those interested in technical matters, and also a little background material on what boating is all about on the English Inland Waterway System - for us at least.

2013 Plans

Crossing the Wash and the River Mersey

This year we have a plan to cross the Wash from Wisbech to Boston, continue to the River Trent and follow it to Keadby. Then Join the Keadby and Stainforth Canal to get to the Aire & Calder leading to Leeds. Then via the Leeds and Liverpool to Liverpool where we hope to join a convoy across the Mersey to enter the Manchester Ship Canal thence to Ellesmere Port and home. Lots of things to go wrong with this plan as it is highly weather dependent. There is a tidal window to cross the Wash and if we miss that because of the weather we will have to cut that out and make for Liverpool another way.
