Hi, thanks for your messages since I posted last night. In answer to Phil's message, my Dad has a 30ft narrowboat. I will ring up BW and ask about last minute cancellations, I don't think my Dad would be able to afford the craneage though.
I really appreciate all your responses - and if anyone else has any thoughts, please do let me know.

Is this worth considering? > > Steve > NB Bream Liz I agree with Steve's suggestion. Many years ago a pal of mine did exactly the same thing, and that was before the Ribble Link existed! He was in his 70's too at the time, but he only had a small GRP boat. What type/size of boat does your dad have? I am sure there must be some last minute cancellations for the return journey? Just a thought, but maybe if he cruised back towards the link he could find a return slot, or use the craneage option as a last resort? Good luck. I really hope your Dad achieves his wishes.
