We've been there twice, and both times moored fore end on, as do many others. If there is a stern on rule, I'm not aware of it. I do find being fore end to the bank more socialble, as long as you don't mind a little interaction with the tourists! And in response to an earlier posting, anyone can use the mooring, on a first come basis. No charge. Keir
