My recent trip to Cavalcade was an eye-opener; Debbie sums up exactly my feelings. These people are not boaters. They are using the canals as a cheap housing option and while I can understand the commercial pressures that are leading to this happening, they are destroying the canals in the process.

In some areas as soon as you get rid of one another 3 or 4 replace place. I know of one boat yard that is craning in 2 or 3 new boats a week, often wide beam and I know exactly where most of them end up. Anyone here who was a visitor to London had problems trying to find a mooring? The canal is of finite length with a limited amount of facilities including moorings. You can't keep on filling it up with boats or you'll be able to walk from London to Birmingham by boat without getting wet. What's the solution .... some might say market forces and economics i.e. pricing structures .... over to you Adrian! D ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
