Both organisations require boaters to purchase a license for the use of the river which pays for the general upkeep of the navigation and locks.

Further license information can be found by visiting www.avonnavigationtrust.org and www.canalrivertrust.org.uk/boating Before venturing out on the river, it is advisable to consider water levels. The river level is normally measured as a height above a normal summer level (NSL). 26 Visit www.farsondigitalwatercams.com/live-webcams/central/Avon-(Central)/Avon-Lock-Severn-Level/ The Avon Navigation Trust has easy to read gauges along the river including one here at the marina; RED Danger - stop and moor your boat. ORANGE Increased current, proceed with caution. GREEN Normal navigable level. The ultimate responsibility for deciding whether to take a boat out lies with the skipper but the gauges should help you make an informed decision. You can also monitor river levels by viewing the River Watch webcams on the Avon Navigation Trust’s website, and by following the link on our website to the Environment Agency’s own river gauge. 27 Locks There are seventeen locks between Tewkesbury and Stratford. They are normally operated manually by boaters and the paddle gear accepts the small 1 inch taper, or ‘Northwich’ type lock key or windlass. The Avon lock at Tewkesbury is manned by a lock keeper between Easter and November.

If you have not operated locks before, take your time and if you are unsure ask another boater-they will be happy to help. It is also worth taking time to visit Tewkesbury (Avon) lock to watch the lock keeper in action.

28 Locking Procedure

Locking up to higher level

Secure lines at bow and stern but be prepared to take in the slack as the boat rises. Close the lock gates and check that the paddles are lowered, or closed. Go to the top gates and operate the rack gearing to raise the paddles. Open them a little way at first and pause; the turbulence from too much water entering the chamber can force boats off the lock side, or make them surge up and down and hit the gates. Once the water level has risen a little, open the paddles fully. On Rivers, leave the gates OPEN when you leave, and all paddles CLOSED. On Canals, always leave the gates CLOSED. When closing the paddles, please wind them down slowly; pushing down the rack with your hands causes shock loading and can damage the gear and equipment.

Locking to a lower level

Follow the same procedure when locking to a lower level but the boat crews MUST NOT make fast their lines, but should pay them out by hand as the water level in the lock drops. Vessels should keep clear of the cill below the top gates to avoid being caught up on their sterngear. Operators of the paddles on the bottom gates must be vigilant, and close them immediately if a vessel gets into difficulties. 29 Restaurants Dentists The Fleet, Twyning Barton Street Tel 01684 274 020 Tel 01684 293 332 For moorings ring 07879 040 101 The Old Police Station The Great Wall Chinese Tel 01684 293 933 High Street Tel 01684 292 046 Opticians Rajshahi Indian Restaurant Zeiss Opticians, 108 High Street High Street Tel 01684 292 201 Tel 01684 273 727 Scrivens Ltd, 131 High Street Uncle Sam’s (Fish & Chips) Tel 01684 299 904 High Street Tel 01684 276 727 Vets Local Amenities Amenities Caffe Ricci, High Street Tel 01684 275 332 Coldicott Veterinary Clinic 55 Barton Street Slatters Bistro, Church Street Tel 01684 292 177 Tel 01684 297 207 Folly Gardens 1 Folly Gardens Travel Tel 01684 292 244 Avonside Taxis, 41a High Street Tel 01684 273 273 Weather National Rail Enquiries National Weathercall Tel 08457 484 950 Tel 09068 500 410
