Practical info

    Check-in
    The boat is ready for handover at 14:30 but can depend on the weekday.

    Late arrival
    It is possible to arrive later if you have made an agreement with the base personnel.

    Check-out
    The boat must be back at the base the evening before check-out. The boat must be left and handed over at 09.30 on the day of check-out.

    Airport
    Manchester International.

    Taxi

    It's recommended that you order taxies in advance, both there and back. The base is a bit isolated so it can take a long time before the taxi arrives if you don't order it in advance. The taxies you can get at the airport are more exepensive than the pre-ordered ones.
