How many of those thousands who visited pay several hundreds of quid to CRT per year do you reckon? They might not pay hundreds of quids directly but many of them will be tax payers who subsidise the canals. If you don't believe a sanitised version of canals can be made to work take a look at the Grand Western Canal. Taxpayers will not be paying anything in the long-term, boat owner's will always pay.

I spent so much time at Foxton when I lived at Market Harborough...guess it was there that my desire for a boat really took hold...however i learnt to avoid the 'high days of summer/weekends when it was overwhelmed by people...don't like crowded places. Loved being there in the spring and autumn

Has to be said, that whilst there are loads of people here, they're all smiling, laughing, and having a good time.
They're going to go away with happy thoughts of their visit, and for many, their interaction with boaters they've chatted to.
Puts a very upbeat and positive view on boating......which is a great antidote to the doom and gloom on here sometimes.

Rog Just as it's nice to see what you have experienced, it's also nice to have someone watching your back eh😉 please don't try to undermine others who you seem to think are moaners. They are only looking to protect that which you enjoy. Maybe not always in a manner that is befitting in your eyes, but we use the few tools we have. 😁

Foxton Locks, for me has nearly always been a happy place...remember one day 2 very elderly ladies feeding the ducks that 'banned substance' with the most wonderful smiles on their faces whilst a youngish man hovered protectively as the tottered close to waters edge

I don't know what tablets you are on, but I suggest they may be too strong.
You take care.
