Well if you don't have a Bridgewater licence it would have to be a quick job

Is that because you are not permitted to moor for more than 24 hours or because you are only allowed 7 days on the Bridgewater on a CRT licence ?

I painted my boat under Preston Brook motorway bridge many years ago, used both sides of the canal done one side on the towpath and I asked the owner of Claymore hire boats if I could use his land no problem, this was before Midland chandlers bought a bit of land to build there shop you could ask them. I had a Bridgewater licence so not a problem for mooring also It can be a bit of a wind tunnel at times my mate was a coach painter an done a cracking job.

Wind under bridges seems to be a particular problem. Loads of dust sticking in your paint takes only one single gust.

Doing it in the open air seems a better option to me.

I like doing it in the open air - but back to painting, dust can obviously be a problem but I fear rain more.

Go up the T & M to the M6 bridge between Wheelock & Rode Heath. Doubt you would get disturbed there on either side of the canal, except by passing boaters.

That looks a better bet and its nearer. Thank you.
