Accommodation

Accommodation

We will be staying in the Malthouse Activity Centre, Tipton as a mixed group so you will need to bring: a mat or camp bed, a sleeping bag, sturdy clothes that can get muddy or torn, and the BCN mud is especially bad!

You can also join for the day if you prefer not to stay overnight. Come to the signing in point after 9am.

There is moorings available for bringing your floating accommodation. Please let Chris Morgan know if you wish to do this.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
