Loughborough Basin - Noisy on a Saturday night?

Most people who moor on the Soar will steer clear of the basin unless emptying cassette and rubbish. It's full of plastic bags and other rubbish and a bit of a wind tunnel now it has high buildings around.

Silebyman has the best spot, ...nearer to The boaters favourite store Aldi as well.

Agree with the above and the basin can be a barstool to wind in especially on a windy day with boats moored on the pontoon. Best avoided unless you need the facilities. There is still water and rubbish at Bishops Meadow Lock and full facilities at Barrow which is only another couple of hours cruising if heading south. The moorings just north of the junction are fine on bollards and its pins on the Leicester side but the bank is solid with coping stones.
