Re: Planning visit to Bristol Harbour Festival

Bristol is really easy after the first time. long ropes are reqd. for the lock. Just chuck your rope to the lock keeper and he will return it (aftergoing through the hoop).
On the approach to river Avon call Bristol VTS channel 12? but keep close to their 'control tower' on the pier.
Time both voyages so you have Portishead as your diversion if needed.
Also the current is strong across the Avon entrance.
