Butlins on Thames

[watson1959]

Blimey.... Had a solo run up to Pangbourne with one of the dogs and some lunch.

Managed to squeeeeezecunto the one last remaining slot between some trees.... It was like Butlins up there!!

Is that typical for this time of year in most places?

In what way does that resemble Butlins exactly?

Just figuratively

Heaving

Packed

Normally only 2-3 boats on the whole stretch of moorings

Currently at Pangbourne meadow and moorings full as usual but being a Monday not too busy on the meadow ; in fact very pleasant here.

No, not really. Pangbourne is always a popula place, especially at weekends, more comfortable in the week.
