There is a small fee to launch directly from the site, not sure how much this is , can ask in the morning before we leave .
Thanks. We've used a site on the shores of Ullswater a few times over the last couple of years and want to give somewhere else a try up there - hard to tell from the C&CC book, etc., how good boat access and launch is.
I’ll take a couple of pics in daylight tomorrow to give you an idea of area to launch.
That looks like a nice simple slipway.
It can get a little busy with parked cars at times as the posts are designated parking for tent campers but saying that it is mostly back packer 2 man tents that pitch on that grassed area.
Thanks for posting - looks perfect. Can you easily access that slipway (i.e whilst dragging a 90kg, 20ft x 10ft boat behind on a trolley) from the camp’s pitches?
Sorry @Davenjo I couldn't confirm that as it is a busy site and cars do park against those posts, don't know if there is a size limit on boats allowed onto the site, my other half has done some sailing and says you could launch up to a Wayfarer size without issue. Site is totally flat though so manoeuvring around should not be a problem, hope this helps.
Wow, if you can get a Wayfarer down there, you could launch a submarine.
Not necessarily- our kayaks may only be about half the weight but they are about 3ft longer and 4ft wider rigged,Wow, if you can get a Wayfarer down there, you could launch a submarine.
