Will you join us with #TheBigHelpOut ? #Volunteer by or on the water.

Boaters please be aware that the River Weaver is currently closed to navigation until the river levels improve after the recent heavy rainfall.

#FridayFeeling : We are delighted that three ‘Tilley’ lamps stolen from the National Waterway Museum Ellesmere Port have been recovered thanks to the keen eye of one of the charity’s volunteers, who spotted the lamps for sale on eBay. ow.ly/sHOk50RTINy

Definitely would rather be #boating than on the motorway. Always a slightly surreal experience boating this bit of #Birmingham . Thanks for sharing Brian Woodhouse

Thank you for the feedback roger and thank you to the Marsworth #volunteers Canal & River Trust London & SE

Great set of pics here from Mike Nash at Sharpness. The #Gloucester #TallShips Festival takes place this weekend.

This #BankHolidayWeekend there's loads of events happening around the waterways. From #TallShips in #Gloucester , the #CrickBoatShow , #Pride in Birmingham, the #BigPaddleCleanUp and floating markets there's loads to choose from. ow.ly/jK7n50RSfqm

Please avoid blockages, only ever the three P's please! Pee, 💩 and a little bit of paper, nothing else. Help keep facilities working for everyone.

If you are going to watch the #TallShips in #Gloucester this weekend don't forget about our Folk for Folk exhibition in the museum. Please come and visit.

Make sure you can vote from your boat if you live onboard. Register now if you're not already registered. You can register even if you continuously cruise.

VILMA 1st of the Gloucester tall ships arriving at Sharpness 22/5

Starts this weekend, make a paddle powered difference to your local canal or river. Protect the places you love 💚

Still more boats to arrive for this weekend's #TallShipsFestival at #Gloucester Docks.

With the #CrickBoatShow happening this weekend, we thought we'd have a look in the archive for #ThrowbackThursday to see what boat shows looked like in the past. The photo on the left is from 1959 and on the right ten years later in 1969.

Wearing a life jacket could save your life if you accidentally fall into the water whilst #boating . We recommend wearing a life-jacket whilst boating especially if single handed or whilst going through tunnels.
