If you are mooring in the basin itself you will find it is stern on so you

The pride if you achieve it in one try will be great !

Since when Trevor? I admit I haven't moored in the basin for a few years. Are
you saying that there's now so many boats that it looks like a "Little Venice"
weekend?
What a shame if that is the case. Narrowboats moored like that become even
more mysterious to the passing general public who, if passing by a usual
'longways' moored boat are more inclined to stop & talk to the owners [o.k. the
owners might not want to talk, especially if it's the usual questions:- Are
they cold in the winter? Do you live on board? etc etc.] but moored end on,
bums to the shore, the owners are out of chat range whether they want to be or
not!
Let me say @ this juncture that I realise Little Venice *has* to be this way
owing to restictions on space & in no way is this a criticism, but Bancroft
Basin is much larger &, I would have thought, not generally so well populated
with boats.
