Billing Aquadrome Marina

[stagedamager]

Good evening fine Canalworld peeps!

Does anyone tie at Billing Marina, or have experience of it? We are looking at possible options for the future and this is one that has jumped onto our radar.

Is it an ok place to be?

Regards

yes, and gets evacuated, and boats sink on floating pontoons...

[Starcoaster]

Yep, all that...

[Daiboy]

Maybe a no then!

But apart from that..........

[stagedamager]

Quite the cleanest and most fragrant Elsan point I have ever seen - just over the Zebra crossing, in the caravan park.

are there any positives?

Yes it has very good facilities and doesn't flood every year. I thought someone on the management team was on here.

are there any positives?

It's closer to us?

The kids like the amusement park

 

I like the annual Land Rover rally and now I have one again (okay..two) I will be attending next year (though that may not be a "positive").

 

The broker usually has some nice classic plastic if that's your thing.

 

The swan pedalos are a laugh.

I like this from the BBC article:

Resident Lynne Poulson said: "I went outside the front of the house and it was like a river coming down the road.

Er, it actually was that wasn't it?

[Starcoaster]

Yep! It may not flood every year, but it's flooded the last two winters I think, or at least two out of the last three.

[patty-ann]

Well with those odds you'd have to be gambling man to go for it...course may not flood for the next 2...then again....
