Hi Knowledgeable Ones (and the usual BS merchants :-), Boden is currently moored in the marina at Newbury. We'll be making our way to Bristol over two or three weekends. The stretch from the Thames to Newbury is (mostly) lovely, but grossly lacking in places to leave a boat tied up near a railway station for a week or more. There are a few BW 24 h moorings, and that's about it. Otherwise it seems a case of trying to find some water deep enough to get to the bank and hope for the best with a mooring pin.
Being unfamiliar with the waterway, can anybody suggest reasonable places to leave the boat for a week or so near Bradford on Avon and near Bath? I gather the latter is pretty busy with long-term overstayers. The canal down that end is actually a canal, rather than River Kennet (at least until it becomes Avon) - is it a bit easier than the eastern end for moorings? Wassail! nb Boden, usually G&S -- Martin Phillips [email protected]
