Hi
Thanks for program use every time we have a canal holiday.
I was going to try and rate some moorings but there is no rubric to describe what each category means. Is the following roughly what is intended?
Impossible is obvious
Tolerable - large gap to towpath needing plank
OK - can moor alongside but on bottom: any method or mooring.
Good - moor alongside and good holding for spikes
Excellent - alongside and rings/Armco for brackets etc.

I think those probably are close enough - again everyone will have their own interpretation of what they are. If I saw Excellent I'd expect a solid side with rings etc and a good surface to the path
I so put some weight on the surroundings - a straight, surfaced, piled bank might be 'tolerable' if it's next to a very loud scrapyard. One with a good view, convenient for shops or a local attraction might be 'good' even if the physical mooring isn't ideal.
In general I use roughly your scale as a cap; a really pretty/convenient mooring that needs spikes is Good but not Excellent.
A good mooring is good compared to those nearby, e.g. the Peak Forest is almost all shallow so making \"not on the bottom\" a hard requirement wouldn't be helpful.
