Canoe and Kayak Licence Requirements
Canoe and Kayak Licence Requirements Waterways & Environment Briefing Note On many waterways across the country a licence, day pass or similar is required. It is important all waterways users ensure they stay within the licensing requirements for the waters the use. Waterways licences are a legal requirement, but the funds raised enable navigation authorities to maintain the waterways, improve facilities for paddlers and secure the water environment. We have compiled this guide to give you as much information as possible regarding licensing arrangements around the country. We will endeavour to keep this as up to date as possible, but we always recommend you check the current situation on the waters you paddle. Which waters are covered under the British Canoeing licence agreements? The following waterways are included under British Canoeing’s licensing arrangements with navigation authorities: All Canal & River Trust Waterways - See www.canalrivertrust.org.uk for a list of all waterways managed by Canal & River Trust All Environment Agency managed waterways - Black Sluice Navigation; - River Ancholme; - River Cam (below Bottisham Lock); - River Glen; - River Great Ouse (below Kempston and the flood relief channel between the head sluice lock at Denver and the Tail sluice at Saddlebrow); - River Lark; - River Little Ouse (below Brandon Staunch); - River Medway – below Tonbridge; - River Nene – below Northampton; - River Stour (Suffolk) – below Brundon Mill, Sudbury; - River Thames – Cricklade Bridge to Teddington (including the Jubilee

Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 by Mike Petty
Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 by Mike Petty Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 Extracts from ‘A Cambridgeshire Scrapbook’, compiled by Mike Petty 16 Nov 2016 Introduction Each evening from March 1997 to March 2015 I compiled a ‘Looking Back’ column in the Cambridge News in which I feature snippets from issues of 100, 75, 50 and 25 years ago. I sought out unusual items relating to villages and areas of Cambridge not usually featured These stories are from issues of the Cambridge Daily/Evening/Weekly News of 1897-1990 I can supply actual copies of many of these articles – please contact me. The full set of articles, numbering over 3,000 pages is available at bit.ly/CambsCollection The newspapers are held in the Cambridgeshire Collection together with other Cambridge titles back to 1762. They have a variety of indexes including a record of stories for every village in Cambridgeshire between 1770-1900 and newspaper cuttings files on 750 topics from 1958 to date. I initiated much of the indexing and have many indexes of my own. Please feel free to contact me for advice and assistance. For more details of newspapers and other sources for Cambridgeshire history see my website www.mikepetty.org.uk This index was produced as a part of my personal research resources and would benefit by editing. If you can make any of it work for you I am delighted. But remember you should always check everything! Please make what use of it you may. Please remember who it came from Mike Petty.

The Cam from Grantchester to Cambridge a Much Loved River in Need of Our Care
The Cam from Grantchester to Cambridge A much loved river in need of our care. Grantchester Meadows- Autumn 2019.. Michael Goodhart April 2021 Page 1 of 25 Introduction This document was prompted by the dismay over the damage caused by the crowds who sought refuge and recreation along the banks of the river Cam and in the river during the Pandemic of 2020- 2021. While most respected the river and its ecology, sadly, there were a small but significant minority who indulged in reckless, antisocial and damaging behaviour, showing little or no regard for this precious and beautiful stretch of water. This document explains the context and importance of the river. It illustrates the entire 2.8 miles length of the “upper river”, from Byrons Pool to Kings Mill Weir in Cambridge, and may provide a better understanding of the river’s rich history and precious ecology. It is hoped that it may motivate more people to want to protect it from damage, now and in the future. This is the first of the documents that has been prepared as part of Cam Valley Forum’s “Cam Safer Swim Initiative” (CSSI) If you wish to comment on this, please email [email protected]. You can see more information on Cam Valley Forum on our website here. https://camvalleyforum.uk/ Do join us.

River Cam FACTS in BRIEF • the Cam Is 155 Km in Length and Covers a Catchment Area of 1,110 Square Km Within the Counties of Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex
NRA Anglian 91 FACT FI LE River Cam FACTS IN BRIEF • The Cam is 155 km in length and covers a catchment area of 1,110 square km within the counties of Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex. • Sourced near Henlow in Essex, the Cam is joined upstream of the city of Cambridge by three main watercourses, the Rhee, the Granta and Bourn Brook. This is'sliown in Figure 1, below. Downstream of Cambridge it joins the Old West River near Stretham, to become the River Great Ouse and 50 km later discharges into the Wash at Kings Lynn. / Y ^ • A range of chalk spring-fed water and peaty fenland rivers in the catchment has encouraged a richly diverse development of botanical and biological species. • Flowing through a region of rapidly expanding population the Cam’s catchment area is predominantly rural. Significant areas of light industry are found in Royston and Saffron Walden and also in Cambridge where many technological companies are located. Direction of flow (to sea) Many towns of historic interest and popular tourist f areas lie along the river. These include the university town of Cambridge with its colleges and charming streets, and Saffron Walden.
