Is there life in Berkshire?

Plopp?

Firstly, you will get on a lot better if you refer to the standard UK 6’8” wide canal craft; by its proper name a NARROW boat. Talking about ‘long boats’ will rapidly get you nowhere amongst the live-aboard ditch-crawling fraternity!

As far as I am aware, the Slough arm of the Grand Union Canal does not have any official moorings towards the Stoke Road basin, you will have to go out to Langley to find the first boatyard, thus I suspect residential moorings will be very few & far between, although there is a canal-side caravan park in that area.

Your only other local option is the Thames in the Maidenhead, or Datchet areas; but even more so in this section of the river, live-aboard moorings are hard to find and expensive as you will be buying a piece of land with river frontage, not the boat tied up against it, especially if you want full services, like sewage laid on.
