Going to London.

That official visitor mooring at Sawbridgeworth is cxxx. The bank is 4 foot high, the water is only 2 foot deep and there is only the pillar of an old crane to moor to. Better to go above the lock where there is several hundred metres of piling.

 

You missed a very pleasant town by not stopping in Bishops Stortford.

 

I would agree with WJM to a certain extent. Although we always found moorings where we wanted without problems, there seemed to be plenty of boats apparently overstaying in the stretch outside the station entrance. There are a couple of boats that are moored in the same spots now as when we were there in November. Of course, they may have gone away and come back like we did!

or they may have winter moorings...

 

After one of the coldest decembers on record followed by the driest Spring,I had to climb onto the roof of Old Friends to get onto the bank at Sawbridgeworth.

If they had a winter mooring permit then

 

a. They were still overstaying on a visitor mooring

 

and

 

b. They weren't displaying the permit.
