Derek Porteous Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 We have done the Liverpool Link before, but forgotten where we stayed overnight the night before. We need to be at the top of Stanley Locks at 1pm. What are the recommendations for the night before moorings. A pub with food within walking distance of the mooring would be good. Also got to get the timings right for the CRT operated bridges on the way into Liverpool. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearley Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I think you can travel through the bridges the day before now, but still subject to timings, so you stay at the CRT yard at Litherland. That would allow you to empty your toilet, assuming cassette, before moving down to Stanley as emptying at Liverpool Mariana can be expensive. Don't what the pubs there are like but huge Tesco just outside the gate. Unless you like getting up early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyberg Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) There's the Bootle Arms, a short walk up the lane at the swing bridge (no10 I think) before Wango Lane. I always stop there then a 5 minute cruise the next morning to your CRT meet place! 2for 1 menu, it's good food too....Recommended http://www.bootlearmspub.co.uk/ Edited April 24, 2017 by andyberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Porteous Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 That's the one we stopped at last time. Couldn't remember where, but that would fit. Bridge 9 and 6 operated by CRT staff between 9.30 and 10.30am, so perfect timing. I also think that will be about right to get to Stanley Locks at 1pm.

StephenA Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) We stopped at Lydiate and did an early start to get down to Aintree for the morning opening... then down to Litherland where we did a shop at the tesco, then down to Stanley for 1pm (ate lunch at the top of the locks).
