Launching near the Needles.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced slipway on the mainland that is within a reasonable distance of the Needles.

Lymington springs to mind but I've heard some people say its expensive.

Christchurch Wick lane is Free, and about 9 miles from the needles from Mudeford. The mudeford slip is cheap I believe £5.50 but not friendly.

Brian,

Sorry should have said I'll be driving from Basingstoke. I'm not too sure if that makes any difference with the driving miles. I'll need to check that one out.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Nick.

Brian,

I've tried to look the Wick Lane slipway up on boatlaunch with no success. Can you point me in the right direction ?

Nick.

Brian,

Had my day out this weekend. Might try and get out next weekend if the weather is good. I'll give you a shout then.

Nick.

Just seen the prices.

£10 to launch and £8.20 to park a car and trailer.

At that price might as well RIB it down from my usual launch place at Warsash.

But I'm still looking at a spin out next weekend so I'll shout you if I'm out.

Nick.

Lymington

Tried it once - didn't like it (as the man with only one child once said)

The road in to the slipway always has cars parked on both sides and it is very trickey to drive through. You'll be lucky if you can get somewhere to park and leave the trailer attached.
