Are you aware of anybody ever being caught not following the rules or getting fined?
-
would a working trip be considered a genuine cruise ? If I had a work boat with rear living cabine and a forward shop (coal , wood , gas etc) could I cruse a large loop selling as I go and still moor up (a very large loop of say a week around) ?
-
How can a boater possibly comply with such vague and subjective rules if they have to commute to a full time job in a fixed location?
-
change location equates to seeing different things from your new position.
-
What are you going to come up with next? That is pretty interesting. Had never heard of them before. Thanks for the education.
-
Which canal is your favourite dan?
-
Hi Dan thanks for the great videos. Have you watched rickvanman videos he wants to try canal boats.
-
When they say a 20 mile range in a year is not enough, I think they mean in terms of the stretch of canal that you are on rather than distance traveled. For example, you could do 200 miles a year just by going end to end of a 20 mile range 10 times and they would say that this is not enough. However, if you only did say 150 miles travel in a year, but cruised from London to Birmingham in small stages, that would be enough, as although your miles traveled is much less, your range is far far further.

Hello Dan - That's very interesting and one of the questions asked by one of your followers you answered.
What would the situation be if you were unwell and needed to be hospitalised and you stay in hospital exceeded the 14 days and you were unable to move your boat! Just wondering :-)
Nice video as usual Dan.
Cheers -
hi dan after your video ^Narrowboat Winter Mooring Rules (2014-15 Winter Season)^ can you say what your feelings are about the new rules a year on. colin

BALDERDASH, I say. Aren't the CW / CRT Trustees Canal Boaters themselves? Do they CONTINUOUSLY CRUISE, London-Chirk-Black Pool-Bath-London (I doubt it very much). Your recent video "Kayaking over the Pontcysyllte" showed a 'log jam' of narrow boats tied up 3 Wide by 9 or 12 long. They aren't moving every 14 days. Bring back the WINTER MOORING RULES.

thanx for doing this video dan
-
Dan as said your of the age to do or find out can it. Take care Cheers
-
Dan being a young fit chap,have you ever looked at taking tilly Up the coast, or would she be just to unstable for a short trip? Cheers
-
Brilliant video, Dan. very interesting.True these rules all run from honesty, Someone swing the lead! would very easily do what they want if they are quiet and not a nuisance, etc. But this is life.
I look at the hole picture ever year another few more vessels make for the water ways, so one day real restrictions will need to be implemented for the benefit of all. I hope not but realise it will happen. Cheers Dan. -
Thanks Dan for this video! My boyfriend and I are always inspired by your way of life, and are saving for our own narrowboat too! I'm sure you have many requests, but could you please make a video about your solar panels and general use of electricity on "good old narrowboat Tilly"?
-
Even with a Home Mooring, we've received two letters so far accusing us of "overstaying". CaRT are becoming a bit of a joke! ;)
-
Who checks up that you're actually moving from place A to B to C, etc ?
-
Hi Dan, I'm curious about how you go about satisfying these regulations while maintaining a sane travelling distance by bike to your work.
All the best,
Al -
God there's a lot of wiggle room though isn't there. Pretty subjective. Cant make it too/cheap and easy to live off grid can they. Otherwise who would pay all the council tax, rates, etc
