Places / Llangollen Basin

Last post by John - May 12, 2025, 02:11 PM

2025 prices: £13 one day & £26 for two days.

As you enter the basin the four moorings on the far left hand corner are for five day moorings only. The sign says you have to pay for five days up front.

Sorry not sure how to update the details or even if it is allowed.

I've put a tap on the map.

Thanks!

So feel free to add it  - just edit the place and add it as a facility that is available there

I'd love to help, Stephen, but I see only the facility to add textual information. A graphical tap icon seems beyond the editing function, unless I'm missing something?

Is there on the linear map

Magic, I like the linear maps, but it would be nice if it were on the general map, too.

While the entry lists a water point in the bridge description, a tap symbol needs appending to the spot. A boater scanning the map quickly would miss such information.
Why does Hall Green's water point merit a symbol on the map while Buxton Road doesn't?

Incidentally, the Nicholson guide also omits any mention of a water point at Buxton Road bridge.

There is no indication of the water point at Bridge 68 on Canalplan. This is a useful water point in the old coal wharf. Pressure is excellent, although a CRT workboat often moored at the wharf makes getting in slightly fiddly.

A water point is shown at Bridge 68. This doesn't appear to have been a recent edit. I don't see any problem with the existing data.

General Chat / Rating moorings

Last post by FLHerne - Nov 22, 2024, 10:19 AM

I so put some weight on the surroundings - a straight, surfaced, piled bank might be 'tolerable' if it's next to a very loud scrapyard. One with a good view, convenient for shops or a local attraction might be 'good' even if the physical mooring isn't ideal.

In general I use roughly your scale as a cap; a really pretty/convenient mooring that needs spikes is Good but not Excellent.

A good mooring is good compared to those nearby, e.g. the Peak Forest is almost all shallow so making \"not on the bottom\" a hard requirement wouldn't be helpful.

Canalplan Site issues / Route map direction mismatch

But the map is correct. There is no way of flipping the way the linear maps are displayed .
