For this instructional video. It is brilliantly explained 👌 thankyou
Thanks very much. Clear, concise and well illustrated. Has helped me prepare for my canal boat trip on Oxford Canal. Cheers
Great to hear!
Very good video. I’ve not long been living in U.K coming from Australia and a life on a canal boat looks perfect for me. In Australia we have to do what they call a “recreational skippers ticket.” If we want to use a boat in the ocean or in rivers. Is there a course you can do in UK for narrow boats and safe operation of locks?
Why do you empty the bottom lock and leave the gates open? Surely a boat could just as easily be coming the other way first no??
Hello iv just bought a 12 man inflatable boat with a 20hp engine for the summer would that be safe to go through a locks as I want to join other rivers but we have 3 locks where we live
If it floats, there's no reason why it shouldn't travel the canals, and locks.
Anything to report since 2023?
