Thanks Pete

Wow a tourer and a 4.3m and a 30hp - What do you tug that load with?
Oh and we fancy N Wales for 2013 so will watch with interest. This years holidays are already booked including 10 days on the shore of Windermere.

Totally agree thats another forum
Only site i knew of was St Davids at Anglesey but after calling them they only let holiday residents use the slipway not tourers.
Were of down Corwall in August to Pentewan sands love the place.

I seem to remember that last time i went diving there was a body in a little cabin taking payment for launching and checking insurance (which i do have)I also have in the back of my head that a licence of some sort needs to be obtained from the council but i will be buggered if i can find anything on the net.

Maybe a little over your 3.5hours from Chesterfield but for fresh water theres nothing better with a van than

Hill of Oaks - Lake District Caravans, Holiday Homes & Pitches on the banks of Lake Windermere

Windermere

Pwllheli would be great, the harbour master has a great slipway and there is a campsite called Abererch Sand who take tourers and its less than a 200 yards from the sea and 1/2mile by sea from the rib launching area. Have a look at google maps the harbour masters post code is LL53 5AY, just to the north west of there you will be able to see the site
