You have to book the Monty both ways in advance. At the moment you book with the local unit office but in October... Even if you do book some years your booking may be refused as water allocated has all been used. (Even if its been pouring for weeks.) So check to make sure. On the Monty - For an out of the way mooring try the aqueduct below Frankton. The Queens head (pub) moorings can be noisy but up above the locks a few hundred yards on is quiet. There are also moorings near the Navi in Maesbury and the Shop/post Office/Cafe a few hundred yards beyond. The Cafe serves good food and cakes. The shop sells locally produced stuff plus milk, meat, sweets, etc. The Navi does good a bit more up market meals. --- On Wed, 22/7/09, Tim Lewis <[email protected]> wrote:
