We have spent the last two winters at Llangollen. I don't recall an occasion when moorings were not available, but it might have meant mooring in the basin rather than online. That however would have been the exception. If you moor as a visitor then electricity is not available but water is, and there is no charge. >It does rankle that BW does not seem to consider it important to >make provision for a bona fide, fully paid up, marina based boater to find >adequate moorings for a day or two as part of a winter cruise. So now continuous cruisers are in trouble for taking up, and paying for, winter moorings :-) I would think that you would have no problem mooring 10 or 12 boats at Llangollen this winter, and surely experienced boater that you are you can manage without electricity for a couple of days. Sadly circumstances dictate that this year we won't be able to make it there. Richard Tanner nb Cartref
