Not sure if large parts of the bridge falling into the S&W canal at Lock 38/Penkridge near the Boat Inn is *just* an obstruction per se #ukcanal canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/019b...
Foxton Locks closed thru as late as 2 January due to paddle rod failure at Lock 17 #ukcanal #ukcanals

Please donate if you can to these boaters who lost their homes and belongings yesterday at #whitchurch #breach #canal #canalbreach
Our hearts are with them, so glad no one lost their physical lives!

Following #ukcanal #closures. We became the very first boat into the marina 27th October 2025, heading straight into Swan Basin… with a #swan at the bow and another at the #stern escorting us in like we were arriving at a royal event.
Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up. Life #afloat is #wild. 🦢✨
A #calm #ukcanal moment for #Snailmas Day 3 💛
Just a little #breathe in… hold… breathe out to #start the day.
Hope yours feels #peaceful too. 🌿🐌✨

1976 Harborough Marine Narrowboat with line of ducks on the pontoon. Tall tree lit by sunrise. Other boats in the marina basin.
Two years #aboard and day 34 in the #marina…
Love every bit of joy this floating life brings — the #nature, the #peace, the chaos, even when the #ducks judge me, the ropes attack me, and the #boat thinks it’s a theme park ride on breezy days. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Is this really an urban myth as it seems common? I seem to see a lot of boaters with this problem. Who would put a duvet in a canal? And why?

Spent some time on the canal boat this weekend and it sure is pretty when it rains

Stumbled across this amazing video of the Birmingham Canal in 1970. The quality of the presentation is incredible, both in the pacing and shots to the thoughtful insights.
I wonder where some of these people are now? #ukcanal #narrowboat

Thank you Terri for this great review of your recent trip. You book the boat and we provide a Skipper and crew for your trip! Then you can sit back and enjoy your day, or help us steer the boat if you want to get involved! #CharityTuesday #Community #UKCanal #GrandUnionCanal #Volunteer #BoatHire
Bumping this because we posted it pretty late last night (UK time).
Looking for a #UKCanal #narrowboat fix!!!!
This isn’t #travel or #ukcanal related at all, but I think they maybe finally made a movie worthy of the #FantasticFour name and legacy👀

Then my favourite waterway junction. Canal meets river, meets railway, meets the M25. How satisfying! The Wey leads to the Thames and there the rest of the #UKCanal network. It's brilliant. 😁
23.5 miles today including a couple of diversions. Rest day tomorrow.
I made an awesome decision to buy one of their stunning hand painted Christmas Bauble. Everything single aspect of this transaction was perfect!
You won’t regret purchasing from them either! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Good evening 💖!
How are you all? Sorry been quiet lately!
Hope you’re all keeping warm where you are. #ukcanal #frozen today and still is, so here is a fun #photo of a #leaf that has a really good colour #reflection on the frozen bubbles next to it.
Dad fixed our fire just in the nick of time! 💖
Thank you to @lhcrt.org.uk for subscribing to our humble YouTube channel.
Thank you to everyone else who did as well, but for whatever reason we weren’t notified 😳
Expect the first #Japan video by the end of January and then some fresh #ukcanal videos by May/June!!!!
Todays cruise on mild winters day was 3.4 miles, 6 locks.
Now moored in a favourite spot for a few days, nice walks and open views

A bike leaned up against a wall on which is painted a brightly coloured mural, at the side of a canal towpath, with late afternoon sun.
'This Canal is Upside Down Sky', by Grace Visions. A mural inspired by the crowd-sourced poem 'Canal Works' created by Warda Yassin. Sheffield Tinsley #UKCanal, South Yorkshire.

Interesting!

Frosty #bike ride along the Sheffield and Tinsley #UKCanal today.
Definitely enjoying the ‘new social media’ smell with BlueSky!!!!
Coming back to check in way more often that I did on the other platforms, both older and newer!!!
Especially excited to see so much activity from the #UKCanal community!!!
Cheers Ed. I'm so pleased this particular photo is getting so much love as I love it! Gnosall is a beautiful place on the #UKCanal Thanks for getting in touch here.
