Widnes fella. But found a great place to launch and it's only a jolly with my wife and step daughter, they feel safe on the canal.

Is that not classed as inland though, so I guess you need to be licensed ?

Day licence all. Can't get a 30 day one as how many sunny days are there in a year where you are free?

Good on yer👍after all the banter & bo11ox that gets chucked around, that's what it's all about, getting on the water, fair play.

Yes thanks, drove there and then set off for Lymm. Got to Lymm in 1 hour (4mph maximum you understand). Then we had a coffee on a "House Boat Cafe" . She was actually cleaning up after a party, but made us a coffee anyway. And then let my wife drive back! Hence the video!
It was BRILL! Just to be on the water.
And that pseudo BRAVO Pump was fantastic! It was totaly worth the money.
Blessings to you.

Top of Clarence WA4 2PQ in Grappenhall. Great place to unload and then pump up.
