How to get there - Follow A386 out of Plymouth for 3 - 4 miles. Turn left when signposted for Lopwell. Limited parking so a drop off would be advised.
Get a map with driving directions to start or end (enter the postcode of your starting point at A)
Suggested Launch Site - There is a small slip near the dam, perfect for launching. High tide is best for this
General
Description - Follow the tide down under the multi arch bridge, bearing left. This will take you past Devonport dockyard so stay clear of the ships, otherwise sea-plod may pay you a warning visit!!
You will pass the Torpoint ferries so take extra care. Aim for the wake of one that's passing and don't hang around!
You will see large old grey buildings further down on the left (Royal William Yard), turn left just before this and follw the creek up to Admiral's hard slip. I'm sure this is a public slip but it is also used by the Cremyll passenger ferry so eyes open.
Enjoy
