Last week's #FundBritainsWaterways campaign cruise by the Wilderness Boat Owners' Association failed to reach Brandon Lock on the Little Ouse, owing to silt & fallen trees.
The town of Brandon is now virtually cut off from the national and local system of navigable waterways.

Everyone has fun at or on the water: swimmers, canoeists, dogs & boaters.
The #FundBritainsWaterways flotilla is making its way to #Boston to cross the Wash and spread the message to Anglian waters.
Help us to protect the waterways that so many people love.
