There are trip boats, trading boats, a Puppet Theatre Barge and an art gallery. Visitor moorings have a maximum stay of 14 days, and double-mooring is encouraged - making it an ideal base for exploring London. Maida Hill Tunnel, just yards long, carries the canal beneath the incessantly busy Edgware Road. Your boat may only be 7ft wide, but the oncoming boat could be wider! The bridges repay study, not least Macclesfield Bridge. Here in October a barge carrying gunpowder exploded killing its crew and demolishing the bridge, the iron columns of which were salvaged and re-erected.
The structure is widely referred to as Blow-Up Bridge. Originally, the half-mile Cumberland Arm headed straight on towards Euston, a major wharf in trading days. It was infilled after World War II. With its castellated headquarters, the Pirate Castle is the best-known youth activity centre on the canal system. Youngsters from all backgrounds enjoy the water aboard rowing boats, canoes, kayaks and just about anything else that floats.
The chaotic and colourful Camden Markets are rammed with arts, crafts, clothes and food, their frenetic pace a sharp contrast to the canal. Safety fences keep people back from the lock; the gates are opened by a BW Yale key. Here too is the headquarters of St Pancras Cruising Club, whose members are renowned for their adventurous cruising exploits — and for the friendly welcome they invariably extend to visiting boaters.
Just over half a mile long and, again, one-way , Islington Tunnel passes beneath a famous London landmark; the Angel, Islington. To the north of the tunnel are the fashionable terraces of Islington, home these days to the rich and famous. Both City Road and Kingsland basins have been extensively redeveloped for housing in recent years.
But Commercial Road Lock, fittingly, marks the return of a very commercial London, and the entrance to Limehouse Basin. Today it is exclusively the preserve of pleasure craft: ocean-going yachts, sleek cruisers and more humble canal narrowboats, all overlooked by desirable housing. The Limehouse Cut, on your left, marks the beginning of the modern Lee Navigation. And, perhaps even more enthralling, Limehouse Lock provides access to the Thames Tideway….
But nothing can beat cruising past the Houses of Parliament and London Eye But this may also be the most difficult challenge you will ever face: tides to negotiate, fast boats to avoid, bookings to make.
Overview The Thames becomes tidal at Teddington Lock. As long as you plan the tide times correctly the lock-keepers will help , Teddington to Brentford is a fairly simple cruise.
Continuing to Limehouse is more of a challenge. Going downstream, the tide is faster and less forgiving, and the turn into Limehouse is tricky. Your trip on the Thames Tideway involves up to three different authorities.
The Tower Bridge. The keepers are founts of knowledge on the Thames. But before talking to the keepers, download, read and absorb the excellent set of navigation notes from CRT, including tide times, lock hours and maps. For copies, go to www. You can also download information from the Port of London Authority website, www. A tidal passage is not to be taken lightly. Make sure your boat is well equipped.
An anchor, life-jackets, navigation lights, working horn, and life-buoy are the basics, but in case the worst happens, a tow rope, a sharp serrated knife, and a light throwing line are useful. Check that your bilge pump is working, and that any water hitting the decks will drain away quickly. You should have enough fuel, of course, with clean fuel filters, and any sediment removed from the bottom of the tank lest the choppy waters stir it up.
Owners of shorter boats, and anyone transiting between Teddington to Brentford, can get away with using a mobile phone to contact London VTS Vessel Traffic Service at the start and end of their transit. Timing Narrowboaters on the Tideway, should time their trip to run with the tide where possible. Teddington Lock is open 24 hours, but if you are heading for Brentford or Limehouse, you will want to arrive when the lock is open: though there are pontoons to wait on, this is not a comfortable experience on a tidal waterway, and especially not at Limehouse.
There is no hard and fast rule, but for a narrowboat making the full passage upstream, a useful rule of thumb is to aim to end your tideway transit when the Thames is at High Water at London Bridge. This is the same time.
Setting off downstream from Teddington, whether for Brentford or Limehouse, the Teddington lock-keepers recommend that you enter the lock 30 minutes before High Water at Teddington. A tide times leaflet is available from CRT, and the lock-keepers can advise on the conditions on the day. There is a school of thought that says you should try for an early-morning passage if tides permit, before the trip-boats start running. Rather, the rotating gates are opened to let the water out.
This is the busiest waterway in Britain. The other traffic is bigger, faster, and makes more wash than you. The trip-boats create a lot of wash and slow down for no-one. Be prepared to hang back a little if it will keep you clear of a trip-boat. Know the standard signals, not just so you can use them yourself, but so you have advance warning of other manoeuvring vessels.
You need to choose your arch well in advance, and make sure that other boats are aware which one you are heading for. Manoeuvring too close to the bridge could result in the currents sweeping you into the pillars. In general, where there is more than one open arch, you should take the one closest to shore. Narrowboats and most river cruisers should never have a problem with headroom at the bridges, even at the highest tides, but owners of larger cruisers will know to take care.
If you have VHF, listen on Channel 14 for the bulletin from London VTS at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour — and, of course, in case they need to contact you. When they refer to bridge arches by number, 1 is on the north bank i. With all this to think about, will you have time to see the sights? This, too, is a busy area for tripboats. Opening times here are restricted, and booking is required in the winter months. This is of particular concern at Brentford High Street Bridge, which has low headroom.
Check with the lock-keeper before setting off. After Brentford Gauging Locks, automated and boater-operated, the canal still following the Brent is fully non-tidal. Built in the s, it guarantees around 6ft of depth upstream, improving both navigation and the view for the riverside residents.
However, if you pass outside this window two hours either side of High Water , a sign will advise that the lock is in use. There are actually three parallel locks here: Barge, Launch, and Skiffs locks. The former is too narrow for most boats at 5ft 10in, but you may be signalled into either the Barge Lock or Launch Lock: look for the red and green traffic lights.
There is a lay-by below the lock where you can wait for the gates to be opened. It will probably welcome the rest. An intricate network of River Lea backwaters, they were upgraded for easier navigation in the s. It was too late: commercial traffic ceased barely 30 years later.
So what were once the least glamorous waterways in Britain now have an 80,capacity stadium on their banks. The Bow Backs were created in the late medieval times as marshlands were drained. They were formerly part-tidal, part-freshwater but the construction of Three Mills Lock has tamed most of the tidal sections.
Access is from. However, these waterways remain closed to public navigation at present although IWA continues to campaign for their speedy reopening see overleaf. The Bow Backs are bounded to the west by the Lee Navigation. The latter was fully restored by British Waterways. Here you can lock down into the tidal Channelsea River and Bow Creek for a winding voyage to the Tideway — or through Bow Locks back into the non-tidal Lee.
The Olympic site only encompasses the northern part of the Bow Backs. The Paddington Arm actually starts at Paddington Basin. But it does have its moments. Wildlife spotters should keep an eye out for terrapins, occasionally sighted here, while others will enjoy the stark, brutalist architecture by the Westway. Even in the early s, you would see much of the strong fleet of British Waterways-liveried working narrowboats laid up here, waiting for work. Moor overnight here before starting on the seven Hanwell Locks, two miles to the south: look out for the side-ponds, no longer in use.
The locks are padlocked and require a BW key — but, in fact, this immaculately kept flight marks the start of an attractive rural length. It largely follows the course of the River Brent, with two lock cuts before Brentford: Osterley and Clitheroes.
Its canal heritage has not quite been lost in the recent craze for development, but working boaters of the s might struggle to recognise it. Back then Brentford was renowned for its concentration of pubs, and, fortunately, there are still plenty today. Meanwhile construction work continues on the new Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the first part of which is scheduled to open on 27th July, exactly a year after the Olympic ceremony.

In accordance with Article 43, nominations to stand as an elected trustee four places available are sought. Any member can submit a nomination for a nationally elected trustee, which should be accompanied by confirmation from the nominee that they are willing to be elected as a trustee of the Association.
Nominations for region chairmen should be made by a member of the relevant region. The nominee should also be a member of that region.
All nominations should be accompanied by a brief biography or statement not exceeding words, with a portrait style photo, for publication as part of any ballot paper with the notice convening the AGM to be issued in the next August edition of Waterways. The Board of Trustees comprises 17 trustees or 18 if there is a national treasurer who is not otherwise elected as a trustee , one of whom is the national chairman.
Trustees are elected for terms of three years and do not usually serve more than two consecutive three-year terms. Region chairmen also have additional responsibilities to oversee the proper running of their region, to chair meetings of their region committee, and to act as mentor and manager of the region as a whole, encouraging and enabling achievement of best potential from branches.
Trustees may also wish to undertake further roles including acting as ambassadors for the Association, including amongst their own personal contacts, and serving on one or more of the national committees. Person specification All Trustees need to have certain qualities, such as integrity and commitment.
In addition the Association looks for the following qualities, skills and experience. Memorandum and Articles, byelaws, etc ;. Desirable i. WA is putting together a working group to coordinate a campaign to modify and improve the alignment of the HS2 route where it adversely impacts on the inland waterways - both for existing navigable waterways, and for waterways under restoration.
The Association is currently consulting with all IWA branches - even those branches a long way from the rail route have members who go boating in affected areas. This IWA-led initiative will seek to work with HS2 Ltd to resolve all the waterway related issues that will affect both navigable and restorable waterways within phase 2.
From south to north HS2 phase 2 crosses the existing waterway network as follows:. In addition to the crossings, there are several locations where the proposed line of the railway would run parallel to the waterway corridor and there are concerns about the potential noise effect on the adjacent waterways. The working group plans to publish a formal response in time for the public consultation later this year. IWA will seeking contributions from all waterways interests.
In the meantime discussions regarding the two major concerns on phase 1 are ongoing. The first issue is the sizeable bridge required over the Digbeth Branch of the Birmingham Canal Navigations, where the railway is planned to enter the new Curzon Street station.
Various design options are being considered. There are concerns that the line will damage the tranquil environment that the listed lock and house presently enjoy. Whilst this news is disappointing, it is encouraging that HLF recognised the unique design of Carpenters Road Lock and the importance of highlighting the industrial and waterways heritage of the newly created Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
CRT is therefore discussing its next steps with HLF with a view to a possible re-submission later this year. The bid has the strong support of IWA.
Baroness Hanham, Minister for the Department for Communities and Local Government, acknowledged the heritage of the inland waterways and set out the protections the Government believes the waterways have outside the Bill, but.
They have shown again that the waterways have friends both inside and outside Parliament who will be ready to rally to their support if they are under threat. Nominations for the first five awards have been considered by an Awards Panel comprising three IWA vice-presidents, appointed by trustees annually.
The Panel produces recommendations, on which a final decision is then made by trustees, with awards being made at the following national AGM. The recipient of the branch achievement award has, since its inception, been decided by a panel comprising the national chairman, deputy. This is also presented at the AGM. From time-to-time, Richard Bird medals also need to be produced, for which there is a lead time. The awards then need to be got to the AGM for presentation. Also prior to the AGM, nominations need to be acknowledged, enquiries from those considering making a nomination answered, award winners notified, those making nominations informed of the outcome of their nomination,.
A proposed metre foot high wind turbine close to the Daw End Branch Canal at Aldridge has been rejected on appeal by the planning inspector. IWA Lichfield Branch objected to the original application in because of its visual impact on the rural setting of the canal and the damage to its recreational. The unveiling of the panel took place on 23rd March on a bitterly cold day but despite the weather the event was extremely well attended.
The Awards Panel also needs to be looked after and provided with the nominations made, and a paper with their recommendations presented to trustees. There are no particular requirements for the post-holder other than reliable access to e-mail, plus enthusiasm and availability to handle correspondence and arrangements almost throughout the year.
If you are interested in taking on the post, please contact Neil Edwards, chief executive neil waterways. The organisers would like to thank all those people who contributed and made this commemoration possible. The turbine plans were refused permission by Walsall Council because of its excessive size, damage to the openness of the Green Belt, and safety concerns from its proximity to a public footpath.
However, the planning inspector has dismissed the appeal, citing the effect on the character of the countryside and openness of the Green Belt, the visual impact of both its size and rotational movement, and insufficient safety clearance from the canal and towpath.
This is a community project involving village volunteers adding drainage pipes, cleaning and re-pointing the exterior brickwork, mending the roof and painting the walls in readiness for the local art group to turn it into a temporary studio.
Benches and tables will be added and then the building will be able to be used by local community groups. On 16th March the building was made secure with the addition of some stunning steel gates made by blacksmith Bob Nightingale who works out of the Old Tug Store in Stoke Bruerne. The gates were brought back to Blisworth and hung in place in front of a sizeable crowd. The Heritage Trust will handle the grant and employ a project officer to oversee the work, which includes recruiting a team of volunteers to research the heritage of the canal in Oxford, producing associated learning resources, providing training, recording oral histories, creating.
This is because recording process has moved into a central online database system with direct input from Boat Safety Scheme examiners. After a successful boat examination, the owner will get a copy of a new, receipt-style certificate, called a BSS Examination Report, to keep for their own records.
The change allows BSS examiners to provide directly the new-look certificates either as electronic files, or printed on plain paper in black ink. The new-look certificate, or BSS Examination Report, may include any failure notifications and advisory information, combined in one multi-page document.
Existing BSS Certificates will continue to remain valid until reaching the expiry date. Boat owners should continue to pass on the BSS certification information from their boat file to the new owner if the craft is sold on.
BSS examination data is already held on a central database and authorised BSS Examiners have been inputting in to this for over two years.
It holds only examination and boat data, no owner or personal information is included. A guide to the new-look certificate is available on the BSS website. IWA Oxfordshire Branch helps organise an annual Oxford Open Doors event one weekend each September in the City Centre, arranging canal-side exhibitions and operating three free — but donations encouraged trip boats along the canal to encourage people to give boating a try. The boats are provided by local hire boat operators. The whole of the lock chamber wall remains intact, but has buckled into the lock chamber by about 3 feet, leaving the lock impassable.
The chamber wall will need to be rebuilt, and a stoppage until late August is in effect. Boats based in Aylesbury Canal Basin are trapped by the stoppage, and so a crane lift out was organised for those wishing to escape. WA Festivals require the services of a dedicated education professional - retired head teachers have done well in the past - to spearhead the Schools Initiative that runs in the background during Festival activity in an area.
This needs knowledge of how to approach schools in the right time-scale to be able to encourage teachers to run waterway related activities in the curriculum for the following year. More details regarding and onwards from Ian West — ian. The wall had formed the boundary between the site and canal, so it was a simple matter for debris to drop straight into the vessel below.
Over 60 tonnes of the rubble was then taken by tug to the Powerday recycling centre on the Paddington arm. A barge was also used to support scaffolding, providing the workforce with a safe base on which to stand while they rebuild parts of the wall. Fitzpatrick Construction UK had tendered for the construction in , and was on the brink of signing a contract when the project was postponed indefinitely because of the recession. However, by the time work commenced, the economic climate had caused attitudes to change and costs had to be.
Foundation Developments Ltd, to which construction was subcontracted from Shepherd Construction, had undertaken the contract at a very low price and considered that it was in no position to experiment with unfamiliar transport modes. Set up costs for canal carrying can no longer be recouped from.
Tom Chaplin. In Utrecht the city council has introduced barges of While the density of the canal network and the number of. The trials for Hackney waste movement by barge, which unfortunately came to nothing, was one of the few examples of innovative thinking with respect to barge design and use that we can claim. A recent forum meeting at Greenwich was addressed by Peter Hugman, a member of the Institute and former chairman and now.
With respect to freight he argued that our waterways are an under-utilised resource — something the IWFG has also argued. However, given his experience he has not, surprisingly in view of their differences of. Also he contested the idea that water transport is always the lowest cost mode. However, he argued strongly that far greater attention should be devoted to identifying areas with potential and quantifying the advantages in a systematic way.
The Walsh company with its integrated consolidation, sorting and processing sites for recycling of. Some of this has been Crossrail excavated material from Canary Wharf to the Wallasea Island reclamation on the Crouch River and there is movement of recycled waste from Victoria Deep, a safeguarded wharf on Greenwich peninsula, to Pitsea Wharf by way of Holehaven Creek. This involves careful. Always an invaluable source of information on smaller seagoing craft, the Coastal Shipping magazine February reports the use of 2, However, it avoids any systematic identification of the infrastructure which might be put in place to ensure more effective integration and sustainability of the different transport modes and maximise the use of water transport.
An earlier report on a Lower Lea Valley Waterspace Strategy pointed to a number of Waterside-based developments residential, recreational and commercial that could attract considerable numbers of people and also freight but would require access infrastructure to be effective.
This gets no mention in the new report. Wharves such as Pinns and Kierbeck have also been busy with scrap exports and the Erith Oil Mills wharf has handled some dry cargo as well as usual tanker traffic.
Resumption of grain imports to the Cargill Mill on the Manchester Ship Canal former Cerestar Wharf was prompted by a poor domestic wheat harvest in and the need to resume grain imports from France by sea. The Cargill and Irwell Park wharves had been dredged and scrap exports have again taken place from the latter. In January the larger container ship Coastal Deniz, which replaced the Monika on the LiverpoolManchester container shuttle service, made its first call at Irlam and hopefully demand will continue to justify its use.
Geoff had a lifelong interest in canals and a wide knowledge of their history and his experience in the operation of barges of many types made him an invaluable source of information and practical assistance with which he was very ready to help others. The flight of 14 locks at Deepcut, which has been closed to boats since , was fully reopened at Easter, restoring navigation along the whole 32 miles of.
To celebrate this work, a cruise up the Deepcut locks was arranged and despite the Siberian winds endured throughout the Bank Holiday period, some 22 boats made it to the top of the flight. Despite a landslip further along the canal, the word went out that the Basingstoke Canal is back in business!
The western and eastern ends of the canal have, of course remained open, with the exception of short term stoppages for works and the perennial summer water supply problem, throughout the period of closure for the Deepcut Locks since Work continues to identity new water supplies for the canal, and the situation.
The Environment Agency has recently agreed that the volumes of water back-pumped from the River Wey can be increased, and this will help keep the canal opened for longer in dry periods. The continuing investment in the canal does, of course, mean that over the next couple of years there will continue to be some unavoidable temporary closures to navigation. Now that the local authorities have demonstrated their commitment to the canal by investing these funds on bringing the waterway up to a good standard, it is vitally important that boaters commit to using the canal for it to prosper in the future as a navigable waterway.
Whilst the two County Councils have funded this latest refurbishment out of taxpayers funds, they have made clear that the canal must continue on a sound financial footing, largely paying its way in the future. The implication is that this is the last time that this amount of taxpayers resources is likely to be injected into the canal. All the voluntary sector organisations involved have reaffirmed their continuing support for the canal.

With spiral staircases, battlements and a portcullis, 14th-century Bodiam Castle offers real authenticity: windows where arrows were once fired; a tower that was once a look-out; and ruins that were once walked upon by knights.
Having toured the castle you will then be able to enjoy a barbecue and music before the traditional display of illuminated boats that trailboaters always put so much enthusiasm into.
Throughout the weekend there will be table based Wild over Waterways WOW activities for younger children. Rye barges worked on the River Rother and it is therefore highly likely that Primrose would have traded to the wharf at Bodiam. The Rye river barges were small everyday working craft providing a vital link between the port of Rye and the hinterland of the rivers Rother, Tillingham, Brede and Royal Military Canal to Folkestone.
Principal cargoes were timber, coal, hops, manure, sand and ballast. The continuity of the tradition of this type of vessel can be traced back to early 16th century maps of Rye Harbour and probably beyond. The Primrose display will give a fascinating insight into the history of the local rivers. For further information visit www. Musical entrertainment and craft activities.

Or just looking for something completely different to do this summer Our Camps also offer volunteers a fantastic chance to learn new skills such as bricklaying, stone walling, machine operation and restoration techniques! The year so far… Our volunteers, new and old, have had a busy start to the year.
In February a group of around 15 WRG volunteers from all over the country. The intention was to clear overgrown brambles and branches to open up and widen the available towpath to allow it to dry ahead of the local council resurfacing it. Work was also carried out to remove overhanging branches from the offside of the navigation that were catching on passing boats. Luckily, we were able at short notice to find an alternative site, thanks to the Cotswold Canals Trust.
The camps spent two weeks working at various sites along the canal near Stroud, carrying out lock and vegetation clearance work, bringing forward existing planned work. One of the first tasks was to expose and carefully dismantle the offside port boundary wall pedestrian gateway near Bourne Lock.
With years of encroachment of the embankment of the A, a large tree had grown on top of the line of the buried end of the wall whilst ivy had grown into the structure disrupting the stonework and the arch. Volunteers cleared vegetation around the base of the wall, and excavated and removed soil and debris to allow the erection of scaffolding to clear the remainder of the vegetation at high level.
