This is a stretch of the River Soar looking back towards 
Normanton-on-Soar. Across the River are the tail end charlies of the 
Normanton-on-Soar Boat Club moorings. There is an attractive Inn with River frontage - but no moorings and there are these... 

 Emergency moorings should you and your 20 ton bath tub get into trouble on a raging river.

I suppose if you are in the 
proverbial then these emergency fence posts are a God-send, lashing yourself and boat to these amidst an angry torrent surely beats the local water meadows but the welcome of a proper mooring adjacent to some form of civilisation is not to be had a 
Normanton; I wonder why?
