I see the massed ukuleles kept the hordes away, as good as any accordion or bagpipes. No one is stopping the nomadic way of life, nomads by definition travel, staying in London kilometer hopping isn't travelling. Costs have gone up for us all, NBTA seem to want everything for free, as their entitlement.

Yes I’m not into uke choirs or whatever they are called. It was quite funny the first time I saw one playing AC/DC songs 20 odd years ago, but the novelty has gone. But there does seem to have been quite a few boaters there and the weather smiled on them.

I'm increasingly of the view that the distance rule is the bullshit that needs calling out. As someone who needs no mention often says, there's nothing in statute that supports it.
And the uke crowd have got nothing on the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra.

Crt are definitely guilty of dubious legal practices.( does anyone remember Nigel Moores case?) Unfortunately Tony blew his opportunity to bring them to account for it. Personally I think it’s the ultra vires t&c’s that need challenging in court. One of these being this 20km in one direction bullshit.

There is nothing defined that's supports it however it's one way to make the board satisfied that the boat will be used Bona fida for navigation.
Until a ruling is made in a court of what would satisfy the board then its upto them to make their own decisions on how to be satisfied.
Ultimately they could make it as far as they want for individual boaters.
What do people think should satisfy the board. Navigate for 5 miles once a year?

But it has been challenged in court, and the action was successful; the beak ruled that the two weeks part was (deep breath, believe I have this right) temporal and not geographical eg the demand that a boat moves every two weeks is supported but the mileage is not, and that any reference to 'reasonable' distance is wholly dependent on the circumstances of the individual.
Happy to be corrected if I'm in error.

You are right and I said as much in an earlier post; the vocab is that a county court or a magistrate's court is not a court of record; but a court of appeal is. So to effectively challenge the distance rule an s8 case needs to be appealed, and thus it requires muchos funding to occur. Maybe Branson could be roped in, he used to have a boat.

Thing is that it's as much as anyone or any pressure group can cope with to handle one issue at a time, and as you said earlier the NBTA are focussing on the cc surcharge for now. Personally I think that's wrong-headed but there you are.
