There's a sign saying the land is private and no mooring which is fair enough. But it also says no winding ... and to ensure compliance a boat is moored blocking the winding hole. I thought C&RT were responsible for the water so obstructing winding seems wrong. Anyone know anymore on this ?  Rog |

Rog Ask them for an explanation?.. seems as if its could be the land owner doing a 'not in my backyard' thing |

I have emailed C&RT to ask, but thought maybe someone here or t'other place would know.

Can't say I saw a sign for no winding but remember a boat moored there for many years - not that one, though - and probably not in the "there" of your photo!. Believe the property did change hands not so long ago... I always thought a "wharf" had certain rights/obligations? |

I have turned there in years gone by.
I think the house changed hands a few years ago.
I understand it could be private land but C&RT should still control the water ... isn't that how end of garden moorings work ?
Just curious really ... I assume C&RT are aware and have approved the situation.

Just had a (very prompt) reply from C&RT The winding hole is owned by the householder who has decided to withdraw permissive use. Apparently discussions are ongoing and it is hoped it will be usable in the future. Thanks to brummieboy too ... I wasn't aware of the anomalies relating to the Shroppie. Rog |

It's just not cricket though is it? - I mean WHY buy somewhere on the canal that's been used as a windin hole for years only to be a dick about it? - I'd be tempted to turn round a few times just for the hell of it... obviously NOT hitting the morons boat but making enough thrashing about to piss him off. Twunt.

I wonder if the purpose of the exercise is to trade off free mooring for his boat, against use of the winding hole.
Maybe time will tell.

Rog more like a case of what's mine is mine...bit like boundary issues my neighbour tells me there's no such thing as ownership if a hedge between houses and the one(I really thought my responsibility) she wants to get rid.. I'm not bothered I do see that its gentle incline/growth on a slant could be doing her OCD head in.... |
