We passed a field somewhere on the Leicester Line in early March, absolutely full of swans stood around in groups, must've been a hundred or more. Never seen so many in one place before.

No, they are all in the fields round here making the most of this winters newly formed ponds 😀

On this day in 2008 around St Katherines Dock, London Compare 14Mar1981 (#2) (#3) 15Dec1990 29Nov2003 16Jan2007 22May2013 1Mar2023

Not unless you have access to 40 year old Land Rovers.

Probably in Braunston for the duck race

Plenty of boats pootling about on the Macc summit this weekend, but....where are all the ducks?

I think we have been to the only place in the UK where the sun didn't shine this weekend 🤣🤣🤣 It's been misty and murky all weekend and very much on the chilly side. Made for some cracking pictures though and meant it wasn't busy 😀 Back home now enjoying the sunshine in the garden.

You would be incredibly unlucky to find nowhere to moor in the basin or just thro Llantony bridge….there are a few odd moorings on the Severn by pubs. Just check it’s not going to be a spring tide etc as if so it’s best to tie up and let it go rather than fight the flow and rubbish etc.

Seems an awful lot to me, but then I have no desire for a permanent mooring. Bear in mind even if to get CRT permission to moor there, you'll have to pay them perhaps £1,500 a year in what's known as "End of garden" mooring fees. EOG fees.

Thankyiu for your advice, it's 120k 80 metres long 10ft wide covered in heavy junk

I wrote to CRT when the T&C changes came in, and they confirmed that, as they put it, the clock gets reset every time you go back to your home mooring, so it's perfectly possible to return to the same pub every weekend, or spend time in other areas close to home regularly. It's only common sense, really, as most home moorers can only go short distances most of the time. Whether you could go and stay in the same spot for a fortnight, nip home for a night, and repeat endlessly without CRT getting stroppy is moot, however (not that the OP wants to do that, anyway), as the statutory right for 14 days in a place is only for those without a home mooring.

Hi..... Around this time next week I'll be heading to Gloucester from Worcester. The main run takes atound 4 hours ( I'm told) and there doesn't seem to be moorings on route? When I arrive will it be easy to find a mooring there ? I don't want to get stranded and have to face another 4 hour run back. Thanks lots 😃

You’ll have to. Not been available for a while. 😂

And not only ^^^this^^^. Even if you end up owning the site outright to the water's edge, you STILL don't get to moor there without: 1) Approval from CRT which you may not get, and 2) If you get CRT approval, you still have to pay CRT a hefty annual fee for the right. 50% of the cost of similar local moorings is normal.
