Last week's #FundBritainsWaterways campaign cruise by the Wilderness Boat Owners' Association failed to reach Brandon Lock on the Little Ouse, owing to silt & fallen trees. The town of Brandon is now virtually cut off from the national and local system of navigable waterways. #ukcanals

It's all systems go for the #FundBritainsWaterways campaign cruise to try to reach Brandon Lock on the Little Ouse, on Friday 21 November. Boaters and shoreside supporters most welcome - email [email protected] if interested #ukcanals

Inspiring site visit after today’s IWA AGM to the Great Northern Basin in Langley Mill to see the Friends of the Cromford Canal’s Beggarlee Extension restoration project #ukcanals

Brandon Lock on the River Little Ouse is closed. The Wilderness Boat Owners' Club is organising a #FundBritainsWaterways campaign cruise there on Friday 21 November. All welcome - email [email protected] to join waterways.org.uk/support/ways... #ukcanals
