CaRT backs down over K&A towpath
SUCH was the furore over the masses of people on the Kennet & Avon Canal towpath around Bath that Canal & River Trust has been forced to inform people not to use it.
Allowed to walk the towpaths
I THINK some of your recent contributors regarding towpaths may be suffering from isolation fever, writes Steve Walton.
Living with coronavirus and the economic fall out
DUE to the Thames flooding early in October last year we were unable to return to our home moorings, writes Stewart Downs.
Visitors did not like being told to keep walking
THE boaters moored on the summit pound of the of the Grand Union Canal, like others, also suffered the hoards of walkers, runners and cyclists.
More stoppages
THOUGH the end of the winter maintenance season, stoppages are still coming though now little navigation owing to the coronavirus 'lockdown'.
Stoppage notice reason?
I THINK I may have realised the reason for those ridiculous stoppage notices that CaRT are churning out, write James Henry.
Don't use towpaths when not essential
I'M SOMEWHAT surprised that our esteemed editor published the D Hymers piece encouraging people to ignore the government's rules by still walking and moving when not essential, writes Keith Gudgin.
Close the towpaths?
After reading the piece on closing towpaths I thought I'd send my observations from the Bulbourne summit, writes Howard Clarke.
British Waterways closed the towpaths
WE DON'T expect many of you will remember those days of the rampant Foot & Mouth disease.
That pan removed
THAT pan that was both on the Trent & Mersey and the Soar has been removed.
