Read the current rules
Canal & River Trust describes a genuine journey around its network for boats without a home mooring. Stay limits and local restrictions still apply. Read the current licence terms for your authority rather than relying on a single mileage figure.
Plan for the hard months
Short winter days, stoppages, work, school and medical appointments all affect movement. Map possible routes and services for more than one season.
Keep useful records
A simple log of places and dates helps you plan and answer questions about your cruising pattern. If illness or another difficulty changes your plans, contact the authority early.
