As per the subject, if anyone knows of any moorings available for buttons for a 57 footer, we'd really appreciate the heads up. I've been doing some sums and ideally would like to find somewhere about 1k a year. Apparently because we're licensed as a hotel boat we HAVE to have a home mooring ... whether we use it or not - ergo, we may as well give up this one at Stanley Ferry and move around at will.
There is bugger all budget wise showing on waterscape so an end of garden mooring or farmers field type would be the ideal I think

I thought for a 40-foot boat such as ours, the usual marina price is £1,800/year.
We have paid £17/week. Now we are paying £45/week which I think is a bit piss-taking. Swanley Marina asked £34/week of us March-June 2017. Friendly people at Swanley Marina by the way.
Quite honestly, most mooring charges are a rip-off - you're paying just to have your boat floating on a patch of water. Those iPhone "Syrian refugees" hanging around Calais should be charged rent for standing on 12" x 12".

Your obsessions and generalisations get a little tedious sometimes. Do you think you could dial them down a bit?

Peterborough is a fine city that wears it's multicultural society well - likewise most Fenland towns including March. Quite unlike Northampton which is fast becoming a shithole. I have no beef with the Eastern Europeans living in East Anglia, I don't have a . massive amount to do with them but other than keeping warehouse wages down I can't say as I have noticed much change - bar for a proliferation of EE shops in the towns. |

Your obsessions and generalisations get a little tedious sometimes. Do you think you could dial them down a bit? I am from East Anglia. "According to the 2011 Census, Boston is now home to a higher proportion of eastern European immigrants than anywhere else in England and Wales: 10.6 per cent of the town's population of 65,000 comes from one of the “new” EU countries such as Poland, Lithuania, Latvia or Romania." We went there in 2017 and I believe it was then 33% Polish in Boston. Yes, it would be nice to dial all those who have flooded to Britain to drive wages down for the indigenous population back to their own countries in Eastern Europe. Cheap warehouse workers. Is this all we want? |

A blogger 'View from the Loo' has just moved from Fradley to a farm mooring on the Shroppie.
I understand from her blog that price was part of the reason.
May be worth having a look and messaging.
Loads of farm moorings on the Shroppie.
Good luck.
