The Canal Cruise
Tentative dates for 2011: Saturday 30th July - Saturday 6th August.
The Canal Cruise is for 11-16 year-olds. It involves daily challenges such as learning how to work locks, steering the boat and telling as many jokes as you can. Also, you may win a highly-acclaimed "Silver Nut Award" for the silliest thing that has happened in a given day.
Accommodation is aboard narrowboats (what else would you expect on a canal cruise?) with up to 8 members and 4 leaders per boat. You will sleep in bunks on the same boat each night, but you will cruise on a different boat with a different mix of people each day. There is limited space on a narrowboat so the cabins are quite 'cosy' - you'll know each other well by the end! Each boat has a saloon area for eating and seating and when the weather's nice you can sit on the front deck or stand on the back deck.
