colmac Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 HI, just booked for Liverpool in May. This is our second attempt and we are hoping the canal retains it's watertight integrity long enough for us to get in and out. Can anyone who has done the trip please advise the best place to moor for the night prior to setting off on the trip into the city. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colmac Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 So I take it none of you have cruised the Liverpool Lonk then ? Charming canal I have to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmr Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Between bridges 10 and 11, between the winding hole and bridge 10 is the nicest spot. Good View into Liverpool though the evil Peel holdings want to build a depot on this field. Some people go on and moor just before bridge 9 but that's not as nice. There a pub in Melling within walking distance (over swing bridge up through the stables) but Ive not been in because it won't take dogs. From bridge 10 its only a short cruise down to bridge 9 (Hancocks) in the morning. Leave an extra few minutes as bridge 10 can be a bit temperamental. ...............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( short walk to The Ship ). Next day 7 hrs to Melling Br.10 . Next day 3hrs. to Litherland Tesco ( good moorings & services). 2 1/2hrs right into Salthouse dock. Enjoyed the trip but we did encounter a lot of weed around the Maghull area although CaRT were trying to clear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colmac Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thank you all, much appreciated. So once we have done the Lonk we will crack on and get into the Pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
