Definitely something to be aware of if you regularly moor in #Rugby to get access to the train station. Thank you Volunteer LockKeeper for sharing this useful information.

Lovely photo here from @Colin Wareing of hotel boat Duke No3. If you want a #BoatingHoliday without any having to do all the locks yourself then a hotel boat is definitely the way to do it!

"As a continuous cruiser, I travel extensively, and I’ve come to the conclusion that many of the jobs that I would like to see done could be done… by me!" Did you read the the piece by #Boater Representative Fiona Burt in #BoatersUpdate? ow.ly/GyC450T8k86

Love this image from plw1053 especially as it's making us think of summer boating. Weather is pretty miserable today so we'll daydream about better days.

Already September, it's feeling autumnal, the hawthorn berries are ripe on the trees. It's time to start thinking about preparing for colder months ahead. If you haven't done it already, get your heating ready and safe for winter. ow.ly/qiCB50Tccyu #BoatLife

Keep safe whilst boating through tunnels and bridges. Be aware of the rules for one way and two way working. Some tunnels you will require passage booking in advance. Watch the video youtu.be/MLGtYySR-6Q

A lock is simply a chamber with gates at either end. By emptying or filling that chamber with water, your boat can move up or down onto a new section of the waterway. Here's how to boat through locks ow.ly/535i50PgQ3e

Side fenders are for mooring. They should be raised whilst cruising, and definitely not dangling whilst navigating a lock. Don't forget to lift them when you cast off. Lost fenders frequently foul lock gates and can lead to your boat getting wedged or hung up in the lock.
