QUESTIONS
Is there parking for my car ?
Parking is situated outside the boat yard, on Limekiln Lane.
Is it diffcult to steer a boat ?
When you come along we make sure you get some practice at steering before we let you loose. It’s tiller steering, takes a little getting used to, but it’s not diffcult.
Is the speed limit really 4mph ?
Yes. You need to get used to the idea that you can enjoy life by going relatively slowly. 4 mph is a comfortable walking pace, so someone on the bank can keep up with you. The speed is set to minimize damage to canal banks, and disturbance to the whole host of wildlife that the canal is home to. And lets face it with the speed we all live our lives these days it has to be good just to slow down. Please remember to slow down to tick over when passing moored boats.
How do I choose which boat ?
We have details of all the boats on our website, with photos to give you an idea of what they are like. If you would like some advise, we would be happy to answer any questions.
Is there internet on board ?
No, reception around the system varies. Your smart phone may well offer a good data connection. Many pubs offer free Wifi these days, or just tell them at work that you can’t be reached, and enjoy turning off the technology!
CAN WE BRING OUR PET ?
Yes, of course
