1) A narrowboat holiday is a chance to slow down and try and get into your lowest gear, so slow down and relax, you are on holiday, not taking part in a race. 2) Walking or even sitting on the roof of the boat whilst it is in motion is extremely dangerous. It is easy not to notice the approach of a bridge! Keep your body-parts within the profile of the boat. It is also illegal to fish from a moving boat on the canals and rivers of England! 3) Do not take too much luggage. Folding, collapsible bags are best. Suitcases are not a very good idea as storage on a narrowboat is usually fairly limited. 4) Do not take your best clothes. Be practical and remember to take some warm and waterproof clothing. We know the UK does not suffer many monsoons, it can, and does however, rain at a moments notice.
8) If you take bicycles, you do so entirely at your own risk. In addition, you should take sufficient padding to protect the boat paintwork. Be aware that you do need a BW Cycle Permit to cycle on the towpath - which is private property. These are free to obtain. 9) When outside the cabin enclosure, children and non-swimmers should wear
lifejackets at all times. Your hire company will provided lifejackets against
a refundable deposit. We also recommend that pets have lifejackets too! 12) Follow the simple daily service schedule for the boat and keep the fresh water topped up every day or so, if possible, to keep the boat trimmed. 13) Unlucky for some - DO NOT barbecue over live coals onboard or adjacent to a boat! 14) Enjoy your narrowboat holiday! | SCARED OF SWITCHING? ![]() Canal, Waterways, Club And Society Events Diary FREE Canal Route Planner Link FREE ENTRY UK MUSEUMS |
