Banbury Moorings

[b0atman]

I drove into Banbury. Naturally had a look at the canal, boats nose to tail until the town section not one boat excepting one at Tooleys .Surely the visitor mooring which are too short a term at best of times could be extended for the winter period .

All moorings are 14 days over winter Shirley.

Not if it says otherwise

And it dose close to town. I think it has a "no return within" notice as well.

Then I've got it wrong, I thought that cart had said "whatever the signage it's 14 days over winter"

No. They say that limits below the 14 days are suspended unless there is a sign to the contrary such as '2 days throughout the year'.

As i travel around it is getting ridiculous these 48 hour moorings are not suitable lengths of time .The minimum should be 72 hours and only in the very popular spots .This no return within x days is all very good but is rather stupid on the south oxford which with regards CRT waters is an arm .

And as a traveling boater I do not need anything over 48 hours but do like to stop in interesting places.

Me too. I only use vms for a very odd night or two at most. Take Banbury as a prime example there are miles of places to moor either side of the town anyway in great spots.

But rather a busy arm

example Banbury has a bus station built on the site of the old wharf so opportunity to explore further afield. .
