Southcote Moorings Reading

[Nige123]

Hi all blowing my own trumpet time sorry.

I run Southcote Moorings near the cunning man pub on the edge of Reading (RG30 3RA)

We have moorings on the offside bank of the K&A with Parking, Electric, Water, Elsan point, Pump out for moored boats.

The fuel boat comes by to fill up diesel tanks, change gas bottles & sell coal.

Most moorings are in a rural setting with beautiful views across a meadow.

Very friendly setting with 3 sets of gates to site.

 

My 3 words location is diary.fruit.pound.

Mostly correct, but "near the cunning man pub" is open to interpretation and how well you can walk. If you google this, don't confuse these moorings with Burghfield Island Boat Club that are nearer to the pub but still separated from the pub by a rather narrow bridge on a busy road.

 

How about an indication of costs?

In fact Tony we have moorings in the car park right next to the bridge & over 100ft outside the pub that does not have services. 

You can crawl from this mooring to the pub (or back from the pub should I say)

And our office/mooring is on the island next to Kennett House.

Are you saying that the long time unofficial "visitor" moorings outside the pub are now yours? If so, well done to you but a damn bad show from CaRT.

 

I did wonder how far around the backwater your moorings went.

No lots of moorings outside the pub but the piled moorings have always been run by Southcote as this was Norman's old trip boat location.

Norman past away & the boat was sold on.

The moorings have just been left as a freebee for some years now.
