People rushed to state their favourite place and BW obligingly put in rings. My reply was that we would like to moor against the towpath but mine was a lone voice. > > Sue nb nackered navvy Sue Do you expect BW to put in rings along the whole length of the towpath? I know of places where BW have put in rings and dredged/repuddled below the original canal bed profile to provide visitor moorings - some of these have become new *honeypot moorings*. If you want to moor anywhere against the towpath (anywhere where it doesn't pose a navigational hazard?) that is possible if you carry a couple of landing planks. If you are worried about the chine of your boat grounding this can be prevented with a bit of ingenuity - but I won't go into that now! Phil Yahoo!
