Offered: Narrowboat temporary accomodation offered in London

My friend Lisa will be living in London on a part-time basis and will be bringing her narrowboat from Bristol to live on and is looking for a house-boat mate for the duration. I'm putting this into the Polo sub-forum so that I can pass on details of somone in London I know (or somone closely related and trustworthy) and not some random forum user. If you can PM the following information as well and I will then pass on her email address. Please state how many days per week you would like to stay on the boat and the approximate dates starting and ending.

Serious enquries only please.

From Lisa:

"*I’m looking for someone who would be interested to share/ live on a boat in London with me, anything from 1 to 7 days a week, I need someone who will help occupy the boat because I’m not there all the time.

It's very cheap eg contribution to fuel and repairs only, which depends on how much you use or break, but then it's a narrow boat with all the lovely discomforts for a floating home with no permanent mooring, you might have seen the boats pegged in on the Grand Union Canal.* *

It is built to live on with a full kitchen, bath room/shower, two beds in separate rooms, electricity, central heating and eventually a stove too. There is room for bikes inside or they can be locked to the roof.* *

Ralph's Follie (that is the boat) will be there for about 5 months from now, I will use the boat 2-3 nights a week most weeks during this time and will spend some time on weekends there too.* *

The follie will have no permanent mooring so the person living on it will have to move/drive it if needed, the upside of this is that it can stay anywhere in north London on Grand Union (Paddington, Kingscross, Angle etc) or in the north east along the Lea Valley. No previous driving experience required, takes only 5 minutes to learn. But living on a boat means getting your hands dirty or into the water of the canal and tools out every now and then ...* "
