Heavyhead

Thx for all your comments and advice, it certainly drew a lot of comments! This is the link that spooked me http://www.canals.com/canaldata. It shows the T@M as 5'9"

Thanx for all your comments, we have bottled it for this year, and will perhaps try it next year, but lots of good info Thank you all!

We are moving up the t&m and someone commented on our height, having checked a couple of websites they state 5"10" is this correct? We're going up as far as the middlewich junction and then to Llangollen .as far as I can measure we are 6'10" will we have a problem??

Hi and thx for your responses, tank was sorted after we broke down 3 hrs after picking our boat up!! Your comments about the tides have me a bit worried though! Is there a web site that shows and explains more about the tides on these rivers?

We are about to undertake this journey, I can see the route will take us up the Trent, is there any info or advice I should be reading or listening to? I'm not very experienced(2 canal holidays and two weeks bringing boat from Aylesbury) but got common sense, and I'm not a risk taker! The boat is in good order, and am confident of its condition( will I regret saying that) ! Any comments will be most welcome Thx
