Oh good, that means that BW licence holders can do the Nene and Great Ouse for free, to get to BW Priory Marina in Bedford. So BW is not the naviation authority for Limehouse Basin? It just smacks of unfair competition, the way they operate the no licence required rule with BWML Limehouse Marina and BWML Sawley (at Sawley they claim this has now stopped....oh yeah!) -- Neil Arlidge NB Earnest - Out of it.
