I got the only space at about 3.30, but there was quite a few leaving and arriving until 5’ish. There was one space about 6’ish which was taken, so full now…😎
So, arrived this afternoon at Ranworth Staithe. As usual it’s busy with just one space on the side (cab rank). The helpful mooring attendant asked how long I was staying, and I replied overnight, but would not be paying. She said okay, and asked me to confirm I was the registered owner of Chiltern Lady. And that was that.
Whilst you were at Ranworth, we stopped for lunch at ‘Griffs Corner’, no room at St Benet’s, Ludham Bridge or How Hill!
When I get round to my next visit to Ranworth, I will be following your lead and politely refusing to pay the illegal charge and I hope others will too.
I’ve been visiting Ranworth by boat for around 60 years and I do still occasionally moor there, but if I do from April onwards I will not be paying again as I’ve already paid within my toll…😎
I did exactly that, was passing, saw a space and dived in. Upon reflection it was so tight I probably would have given it a miss normally but for my determination to moor there. I’ve been lucky a few more times, but in the winter…
Our electric costs at Herbert Woods are currently a very competitive 18p kWh. Sadly due to increase next month as their contract with their supplier renews…☹️
