I don’t know, but been through twice this year about 6 weeks apart and had no problem in stopping there both times.

Much less that it used to be. Many of the long term hangers-out have moved up to Henhull, which has 14 days towpath mooring and car parking.

If you are heading from the Chester direction and it is full at the aqueduct, it is worth going on beyond the next bridge. Good piled moorings.

How did you know boats had been there for weeks...?

Probably same way I could tell. Boats there when I go through, padlocked and curtains drawn, still in same spot, padlocked etc on my return two weeks later. I'm sure, however, that all the owners had been suddenly struck ill and had CRT's permission to stay, like they do now at Gurnett on the Macc or Westport Lake at Stoke.

Yes, I've also noted several of the obvious long-staying moorers have acquired a yellow CRT notice to put in their windows with 'CRT Aware' written in the heading but I've never bothered to try to read the rest of it. Are these the new 'permanent mooring' licences?

I stopped to look at one of those CRT Aware notices as I saw a few displayed on boats on the Ashby, the notice had a start and end date and was part of the CRT equality as there was a link to the equality page on their website.

Yes, it was on the Ashby I first saw them, but they seem to be proliferating up the Trent and Mersey now as well.

Is this a new thing then? Not seen any of these yellow signs. 
 

Hoping to be up the Ashby in a few weeks. Need to go visit the Lime Kilns pub.

We stopped there and went in the Lime Kilns, it is under new management and the land lady is doing a good job.  It was quiz night when we were there, the locals were a good friendly bunch.  We did eat in there as well which was ok, good value for money typical pub food not trying to be anything fancy.

I think they're now treating them as a first stage to enforcement, or pretending to, anyway. Mind you, nothing much seems to happen except they get more spiders' webs round them. Maybe things are changing?

I’m glad about that,

last I was there, Gary (?) was giving up the pub but said he were going to stick around to help out the new Landlady,

he’d just started brewing his own beer and he’d lots of proper ciders on, 

Good, something to look forward to 👍

Try the Church End pub, George & Dragon?, en route.

Highly recommended.

Oh yes, cracking pub and there’s lovely moorings a short walk away,

I can’t wait to get back on home turf with proper beer 🍺

Spot an overstaying boat from 50 paces bloody menace to all real boaters not floaters 

[haggis]

I was chatting to a lock keeper yesterday and the subject  came up about  boats being left on visitor moorings preventing other visiting boats stopping to do a quick shop and he said enforcement in C&RT was a joke

The pontoons at Northwich were mentioned.  3 apparent unoccupied   boats have been taking up almost all of the pontoons for some time. Can't all be emergencies, can they ?

CRT equality? Cannot figure out what kind of legislation / euphemism / joke that is?

 

I've been under a rock (specifically EA waters - but happily above them) for a while 😁
