As yet I know nothing at all about the waterways in the Fens, but I'm contemplating buying an 8'6" wide boat in March, and, if it's possible, cruising her back home to Oxford. I realise that, getting nearer home, I would need to take the Grand Union down to London, and up the Thames, as the Oxford Canal would be too narrow. But I'd very much welcome information about the Middle Level waterways, and the River Nene, especially as the (rather large scale) map I'm looking at suggests that the stretch of the Nene joining the Grand Union is narrow... Also, I'm wondering if those waterways suffer from the closures for maintenance that is currently afflicting the Thames. My home mooring wouldn't be accessible from either direction until March 2013,because of lock closures for repair work... Please excuse my ignorance! Thanks for any info....
