A couple of weeks ago we moored right outside the Toby Carvery at Festival Park. Fishermen on the opposite side (and it’s quite a long way across) thought it a hoot to use the boats on the mooring for casting target practice, hitting the side with lead weights. After getting fed up with that they simply threw stones. I’ve no doubt we were just unlucky and it does seem like a good spot. Westport Lake moorings were thick with goose poop, as mentioned earlier in this thread, so we moseyed on to Harecastle Tunnel moorings, which were great, ready for our 9am booked passage.
