Moorings at Rudgley

[Fender151]

Blue skies, Sun's out, boat fetteling done, time for a short bimble before Easter flurry lands.

I was hoping to find an overnight mooring at Rudgley, around Bridge 66, wondering how busy it is at present,  would appreciate feedback, suggestions from any folks in the area.

Many thanks.

Do you mean Rugeley? I can't answer the question but we can clarify the location!

If it is Rugely, don't think you will have a problem. There are VMs both before and after the bridge nearest tesco and Morrisons. If we are having a short (shopping) stop, we quite like slotting into the little bit just after the bridge and before the "pinch point" but  no such luck in late January. Both on the way up and the way back there was a boat (same one both times) bang in the middle of the space which effectively stopped anything over abut 40 feet getting in beside him. A good way to ensure you get a mooring to yourself, we thought :-)

I can't comment on Rugeley specifically, but I haven't had a problem mooring anywhere I've wanted to for the last 6 months, Including most of the North West's honeypot sites.

Anyway, in the very unlikely event you don't get in at Rugeley central, you can carry on North to the visitor moorings on the northern edge of Rugeley, or even to just past the tight bend/aqueduct on the outskirts of Rugeley where there are newish rings installed. And in fact plenty of opportunities from there to Wolsey bridge, where there is a good Indian restaurant (thanks Ann for the reminder!).

if you cant get on the tesco moorings goto the next bridge theres plenty of moorings there, i hope they have dredged the tesco mooring as i reported it last year.

Thank you Haggis, and it is Rugeley I am heading for, sounds like Moorings wont be a problem.
