Fazeley moorings

IN ANSWER to Peter Ponting about Fazeley I don't think he has read my piece very carefully as it clearly states: 'Picture one is of the northern post, picture two is of the southern post and picture three is of the post in between them', writes Keith Gudgin.

The operative words here being ‘in between'.

There is here an uninterrupted mooring directly opposite the waterways office that is indicated by posts with arrows stating it is seven days and a large board in between these seven days posts that show 48 hours. All three boards refer to the same uninterrupted stretch of mooring. There are other moorings further south on the Coventry Canal and on the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal but I have not looked at them.

First-hand knowledge

I am just outside this ‘visitor mooring' next to one of the posts with the arrows on so I am stating this from first-hand knowledge.

He also states 'However the 48 hour visitors moorings are opposite an industrial site that becomes very noisy around 7.00am.' I can assure him this is not quite so as there is a compressor in one of the buildings right on the edge of the canal that runs intermittently for 24 hours a day and is very loud when doing so, it is on approx. 10/20 minutes every hour day and night.

And thanks to Sue of No Problem. I can see what she says but the information she appears to have been given does not match mine, and others, experiences where we moored up one day on one of these 2D moorings and were told to move off the next day. We did not have the time start on the day after we got there, it finished on the day after we got there giving us just ONE night.

No definitive time limit

Does all this mean there is no definitive time limit and it is up to the ‘staff' at each site to determine what it actually means. What is the reason for using some ambiguous 2D and not the well understood 48H?
