Great Ouse Boating Association has joined with the Fund Britain’s Waterways campaign to organise a campaign cruise to Baits Bite Lock on the River Cam on 3rd August – download this flyer.
Baits Bite Lock is one of the two locks on the river Cam which have had to be closed for safety reasons, and the purpose of this campaign cruise is to highlight this as a specific example of the funding problems of all waterways. The arrangements are last-minute because some of the boats that crossed the Wash had been intending to visit the Middle Levels, the Great Ouse and the Cam, but owing to a combination of events most of them are now heading back to base – but GOBA and other local organisations and contacts have stepped in.
