What's in the issue

Leading the news this month, a breach on the Lancaster Canal has closed a length to navigation. This is followed by more excellent photographs from our readers. The Boat Test features an electric Hire Boat from Trinity Boats which is followed by a piece on Toddbrook Reservoir repairs. Next, we have our Cruise Guide which is Part 1 of a 2-part feature on the Shropshire Canal and the Cruise Guide extra which follows is all about the canal system of East Shropshire that were built for tub-boats. We then have a boating holiday on the Lancaster Canal and the next part of the ongoing boat restoration which is followed by our final feature, Part 2 of Tom Rolt – Narrowboat Man.
