Heth, on Takey Tezey says she is having trouble finding her bearings. Perhaps our new series of Cruising Maps will, help - and there's more new maps being added each month as I cycle the canals to make sure everything is up to date.
Our maps are up to date and, being for electronic download, we can keep them up to date. I have personally verified almost all the information, with a few sections being kindly covered by other members of the family for me.
All the maps are up to date when published, and all within the last 9 months, and we keep track of changes that boaters are kind enough to email us with and which are published in the leading magazines or websites. If we hear of a change then the master map is usually updated within 7 days to ensure your downloads are up to date.
Neil, from The Canal Shop says, in his latest newsletter, "New Nicholson guides due out in March are numbers 2 (Severn & Avon) and 6 (North East), the remaining guides and map are just being reprinted, but with a new picture on the front cover." The existing Nicolson Guides were released in March 2009, and presumable were researched and printed well before that so they are at least 3-4 years out of date and simply putting a new cover on won't help much!
So here you are Heth, an extract showing where you are to get you started. And if you do spot a local change we don't know about we'll be very grateful to hear from you so we can keep the maps up to date. |  |
Hi Paul,
How kind of you to show us all exactly where Heth & Takey Tazey are moored :)
The trouble is now that everyone knows where she is the whole area will be gridlocked by her friends visiting from ‘up north’… LOL

Thanks Paul for a great blog post!
Lots of valuable, up to date info on here, I’m impressed, puts Nicholsons to shame! Will put a link to this on my blog.
Kev, no word of a lie our friends are selling up because we’ve gone! 2 other friends have just sold their narrowboat & are having a widebeam built based on the same design & fit-out as TT. Our other friends have migrated to bricks n mortar..
For us, even though we miss our friends, it’s about moving on, looking forward, & planning trips out without getting lost, lol. Bring on the sun!
