All equipment will be provided.  Please arrive in clothing appropriate to the weather conditions.  We do not have changing facilities on site.  This may include a waterproof/showerproof jacket and flat shoes.  If it looks like being a sunny day please do not forget the sunscreen

Question 2

Where do I park?

There is free parking available on site.  Spaces are limited so please try to share cars wherever possible.

Question 3

Will we be paddling inside the tunnel?

Accepted Answer

No.  At the time of these sessions the tunnel will be open for powered craft passages.  Our sessions will be on the Trent and Mersey canal at the Southern entrance to the tunnel

Question 4

How much do the canoeing taster sessions cost?

Accepted Answer

There is no charge for these events. The Canal & River Trust is a Charitable Trust responsible for the maintenance of over 2,000 miles of inland waterways. It  costs the Trust to lay on events like these, so although we are not making a charge we would be only too happy to receive your donations.
