Notifications

We get regular email information from Canal and River Trust about any problems affecting navigation on the canal

These include broken locks, fallen trees, blocked Elsan points and dead bodies. 

We usually get two or three notifications of dead bodies each year. This year there have been five or more.

Most of these deaths occur at locks as they are very dangerous. Most are boaters, most are either inebriated or drugged up when they fall in.

The button tin.

This week has been quiet so far, no Autumn group as the heat meant to boat trip was cancelled.  Beano is only having very short walks ear!y ...
