Launching in Ilfracoombe?

[adrianb]

Any experiences of launching using the slipway in the harbour ?

Or any other slips nearby?

Any permits/restrictions etc etc, you get the picture.

Google Earth looks OK. But Local knowledge would be handy. Very handy.

launching at Ilfracombe

You may get a better response on the the Bristol Channel Forum I know there are a couple of members based near there. Lovely place to go, only wish they had a marina !
