Hi Paul
Ive been ccing in London since the end of August. I dont know where you need to be but I keep well away from victoria park, in the whole Hackney vicinity there has been a spate of armed robberies.Check out London boaters forum for updates. If you can stay on outskirts,Ive found they have much more of a peaceful and a rural feel,the further in you go the more you find the tow path used by all kinds of characters,one night I had people rowing drunkenly at 1.30pm in morning for at least an hour!!!!My boat has sdouble glazed doors at front which keep in heat and have a good lock. Good luck,make sure you sort out adequate heating throughout boat....had a rayburn put in with rads best thing i did!!
Can anyone give me more info on mud weights?
