Wigram's Turn Marina was recently built at Napton Junction. Coming from the Grand Union (Birmingham direction) you pass under the junction bridge and go straight into the marina entrance. In the above photo you can see both the junction bridge and Shadow (in the centre, just this side of Moonshine) (click on photo to enlarge).
Our mooring is at the end of a finger pontoon right by a services pillar with electricity and water. The pontoon is just wide enough for the useful trollies onto which you can load your baggage - but you have to watch out for the mooring cleats and service pillars! Unfortunately the thread on the water point has been damaged, and I couldn't find a lead to connect to the electric socket!
Shadow's roses and castles boards -usually on the back doors - have been removed for repainting.

Looks like a very well serviced marina, Halfie. Is it easy for you to reach from home?
VallyP, yes, it seems good so far. And it's only just over three hours' drive from home, so much more convenient than Shadow's previous base which was about six hours away.
And welcome back!
Thanks!
By the way, three hours still seems quite far, but then if you're getting a good week or two for it, then it isn't so bad, is it?
