We have had to run a few errands back in the Forest of Dean, so we stored the boat in Whixall Marina.
This marina is fantastic, the best I have ever seen. Friendly staff, good electricity and water points, little shop, shower block, laundry room (cheaper than the Llangollen launderette), excellent pontoons BT line and Wifi. The only problem is that it is in the middle of nowhere and you do need a car. On the plus side, it is surrounded by fields and it is so peaceful.
The marina is situated along an arm of the canal and involves undertaking 2 lift bridges. Our book warns us that the first one is difficult to manage and it was not wrong. It was such hard work that my arms are still hurting!
