New Islington marina.

Dear advisors Thank you very much for your hints. Up to now haven't we been on a river (except on the Caldon, which doesn't count). I had the gut feeling, it could be easier to drive and to moor against the flow. Additionally I thought, that there would be less traffic going clockwise. I ordered the Canal Companion and the Nicholson Guide so I can see what you mentioned. Maybe the solution is to decide on site, when the weather condition are foreseeable. Best Regards Jörg

Hi all This is my first post, after I am reading this forum for years already. I am Swiss and my English might be a bit Swinglish. Please be tolerant. We (my better half and me) have 16 weeks experience on UK canals. We plan now to do the Leicestershire ring next June. We booked a boat for 3 weeks, so that we have time to visit the towns along the canals. My questions: What is better, clockwise or anticlockwise? Starting Point will be Coventry basin. How strong is the river Soar and is there any danger that the river could be impassable in June? Thanks in advance for your help.
