  1. My point was if your moored up and a space appears between boats in the evening why not move up and close the gaps before you settle down? Its not hard is it and something i always do if i find the mooring is full or filling up, You shouldn't have to ask is called good manners. The other point was the boats i passed on the way up were still in the overnight moorings the following evening taking up space that they should have left earlier that day. So that would have been 2 nights at least (may have been longer) where they should have only been there one night.
  2. Me and the wife decided to spent a few days this mid week after the school holidays thinking the river (Avon) would be quieter. Ha fat chance of that not problem in itself but why do barge owners always seem to moor so far apart and taking up all the over night moorings! To be fair i see this problem a lot less with Cruisers. I mean wouldn't it more considerate if owners of bigger boats double up rather than take up a whole over night moorings to them selves and help make room for others. After 2 hours of traveling looking for a overnight mooring we had to go through a lock in the dark and travel the last mile in the dark finally finding a spot outside a pub at about 8.30. Even more annoying was on the way back down the river 2 days later to see a lot of the same barges in still moored in the same over night moorings! Rant over. Ps no idea why the posts gone blue
  3. I cant ever see this canal being opened back up South of Pontypool to Newport. A lot of the original canal has either been built over with very low bridges or drained and filled. Would be nice if it was but it would expect it cost 10,s of millions to do.
  4. The plan is to leave Pershore around 9am and moor up for the night at Worcester then the reverse the day after, If this is possible time wise.
  5. Ive used the canal planer in the past but don't find it that accurate time wise. How far up the Severn are the locks maned? Never been up North of Tewkesbury before its is all new to me. One last question are there and B,W showers on the is route or up past Worcester. Thanks
  6. Were mooring up in Gloucester tomorrow night are there any facilities there for boaters with a B,Waterways key?
  7. Are there any thinking of stopping there overnight next weekend. Good or bad?
  8. I've tried searching the net but all the number are years out of date. The numbers ending 063 and 167 are for the previous owner who sold it over 5 years ago.
