Following the English and Welsh Governments’ announcements on 19 December of a four-tier system in England and a further lockdown in Wales, we are updating our guidance.

Many of your questions regarding coronavirus and boating are answered HERE.

C&RT have just produced a new statement following the Government's announcement of their plan.

See https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/safety-on-our-waterways/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-boating-faqs

Essentially it says boating starts, if all is well, on 12th April.

Cheers Graham

We will, we probably won't do anything too extensive until 3 weeks after the 2nd jab (5th May). So earliest date for significant trip is about the end of May. We might well just pop round the coner before that and will certianly be enjoying breaks at Calcutt as soon as we can after the 12th.

Cheers Graham

We've had notification that if all goes according to Government plans, the 12th of April could be the start of cruising again.
That also means, as far as we are concerned, all members of the syndicate have lost 1 week with the exception of 1. That means we do not have to reshuffle the schedule.
