Not that it's a prime sailing area, but it's nice to report the Kennet & Avon has been given Cruiseway status. Bavaria yachts (without their wobbly keels) may have found a competitive niche.
As a broad canal which is the key component of a coast-to-coast link, the Kennet & Avon is possibly the most interesting, varied and attractive of England’s southern waterways. Reclassification appropriately comes in the year that the bicentenary of the waterway’s opening is being celebrated.
By coincidence it also runs through the constituency of the current waterway minister Richard Benyon MP
Might mean the Hungerford Marina can get finished.
