Hi, Last year when we were on the Weaver we took Oak and Ash upon to the flash.
As said earlier it is narrow and overgrown at the entrance. Then we toured around the entire flash. As advised we kept to the outside of the flash. The centre is very shallow with soft mud. There are navigation buoys there but they are moor to do with the sailing boat club up there rather than navigation. We did touch the bottom once but it was no worse than many sections of BW canals. I'd go for it. It was very good cruising. Even if we could not get up onto the Middlewich arm. :-) If you go to http://www.reedboats.co.uk/canals/rwe/rwea.html at the bottom left is a picture tasken from the stern of Oak while we were up on the flash. You can see the size of it. All the best, Martin Reed. Oak and Ash Hotel Boats www.reedboats.co.uk
