I have heard similar about Great Haywood....Hi Jaq,<br /><br />I have heard similar about Great Haywood. Marinas are just sooo expensive plus the idea of living closer than in terraced houses is not attractive. I have heard good things about Overwater. For now we will stick with Fradley as Rachel has a new job, ironically at the University I worked for for thirty years ! I did a few winters on board commuting to Derby from Fradley so it can be done, it is about the same as from our cottage so it gives us options of being on the boat more. <br /><br />I do like the four counties and have said in the past I could spend all my cruising days just going round and round as there is so much variation plus some lovely towns and isolated mooring spots. Just need the breach sorted !! Take care I hope you are enjoying the warmer sunnier weather and getting some cruising done as I know you are at your happiest when there is water moving under your boat.

Great Haywood marina has a lot of rules ...Hi Nev, <br /><br />Great Haywood marina has a lot of rules and one of them is that boats can having nothing on the roof. We were going to have to move all of our wood into the bow (which meant we couldn't use the bow doors) and cover it with tarp in order to put the boat in there for a week. also HS2 is set to run right over the top of the marina, cutting it in half essentially. You might wish to consider a boat club instead. My understanding is that Stafford Boat club just near Penkridge is a great place to moor a boat. Being a member may cost you less than an annual CRT mooring. As for the Middlewhich breach, it is certainly quiet up her in Cheshire and I love it!! Boat traffic is not manic but leisurely and manageable. I also here tell from Steve and Angela on NB Tumbleweed that Overwater marina at the bottom of Audlem locks is a terrific marina. The breach will be fixed eventually but until then cruising to Chester and Ellesmere is grand. Come up--the water is fine!! <br /><br />Love Jaq xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.com
