Hi! I think this is up to the Patrol Officer for the Area. For instance, between Milton Keynes to around the Watford area, (Not certain where the cut-off point is), a system of 5 mooring points is preferred. The distance varies and is not dependant on "Parishes". AFAIK. As long as one cruises for a "Reasonable" distance, say 30 minutes or so, Patrol Officer J. Ling, (The above area), is satisfied. I have had a couple of instances, for a variety of reasons, that I have had to overstay for up to a month or so. I have advised BW in advance and I have always been accomodated. Personally I find them quite understanding, as long as you don't take advantage all the time. BW Officials are quite aware that one has to stay within a reasonable distance of one's workplace. #### At least, that is my personal view of the present situation. I have heard that Marsworth workshop and stores are closing down. This is unconfirmed. Lots of changes about to take place! ~Allan~ PS: IT is the Mooring Warden(s) that vary so much - Some get to know the boaters and "Request" or "Discuss" any issues, whislt others thake a more of a "Gestapo" (Do what I instruct) attutude. If I feel that I am being unreasoinably pressured, I tell the person to go away and that their job is to observe and report, not to hassle the boaters!
