A Sunday trip from Otherton Boat Haven to Hatherton Marina.
After a year at OBH, we were a bit fed up with having to go through 3 or 4 locks (within half-a-mile) every time we wanted to go out. Although not a real problem, especially for the longer trips, it was a bit off-putting if we only wanted to go out for a day or a couple of hours.

We didn't particularly want to move from the Staffs & Worcs as it is quite close to home and there is a wide range of cruising opportunities. A quick trawl of the net brought up a few locations and in the end we opted to move to Hatherton Marina. Its only 5 miles from OBH, but is slightly closer to home. Importantly however there are at least 2 miles of lock free cruising in one direction and 7 or 8 miles the other way.
