Users' comments on mooring here

(I'm doing research for a trip - so comments are based on Google Earth ans pics). There are bollards here next to Mecca Bingo. and a slope up to civilisation (?) It's a short walk to an huge Sainsbury's. There is an ever shorter walk from Rounds Green Road bridge which looks more private, but you'll need pins. I may report back when we've done the trip....
