Beeston marina

[nigel carton]

As I'm away from base and no maps, I've just put a route in on canal route plan, and it doesn't like Beeston marina to Barton turns, any clues?

if I'm having a senior moment, (which I seem to have a lot of these days) please feel free to take the mick!

When I looked at the CanalPlan site it came up with (in respect of Barton Turns):

 

This is a newly added place - do not use for route planning

If it doesn't recognise a place then you can always add it ... its not that hard to do.

 

But I'm not sure if you can still add places on the version at mihalis.net which is the one that reports Barton Turns Marina as a new place.
