74 Leeds & Liverpool RIBBLE LINK TIPS 1. Book well in advance, a two month waiting list is not unheard of. 2. Go to see the lock-keeper as soon as you arrive in Tarleton. Try to arrange to be the first penning out of Tarleton Lock, as that will give you the maximum time for the passage. 3. Go like the clappers, even up Savick Brook! You have about nine miles to cover and maybe no more than two hours to do it in, against the flood tide on the Douglas and against the ebb on the Ribble and Savick Brook. On weak tides the sea gate may be closed before you can get there and you will have to go on to Preston Marina. There is a time limit for that too, if you are too slow you will have to tie up to the wall outside and sit on a mud bank at low water. 4. On the return journey, be sure to pick up your crew before leaving the last lock, there is no towpath to the sea gate, and no land access to boats tied up on the transit pontoons.

APPENDIX 1 - DENTISTS Many of the dentists I have approached this year have declined to treat visitors because they can barely cope with the patients they already have. Should you need treatment in a location where there is no dentist listed, phone NHS DIRECT - 0845 4647 who will direct you to a duty dentist. Those listed below have been personally contacted to ensure their readiness to treat visitors in an emergency, subject to there being a space available. Generally, charges will be levied at the private patient level, payment being due at the time of treatment. It is always advisable to telephone in advance, to avoid what could be a lengthy wait.
