Liverpool Link

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.

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!

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.  

Yes they do the first bridge 9 at 09.30 and guide you thro so perfect place to stop....

I'm there this Saturday eve for passage thro Sunday for a week!

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).
