We have been kind and allowed it in the past, only for the mickey to be severely taken. Enough for us to vow "never ever again".
If, as you said, you'd travelled up all the way from Staines, you would have passed Windsor, Dorney lake, Maidenhead, Cliveden and Cookham. I appreciate that it is high summer, and many places are jam packed, but i severely doubt there wasn't at least one mooring spot for you anywhere on the whole of your journey.
Summer Protip: if you see a mooring, stop at it!
Summer Protip: if you see a mooring, stop at it!
Please don't think too harshly of us. And I hope you found a spot, eventually.
