From ‘Lifted’ (2013), by Jo Bell, Canal Laureate 2013-2015 www.waterlines.org.uk 3 Abstract Mundane tourism mobilities on a watery leisurescape: Canal boating in North West England Maarja Kaaristo There are over 3,000 miles of navigable inland waterways in England and Wales, managed mainly by the Canal and River Trust, which promotes their use for various leisure activities. Canals have undergone a radical transformation in their use and purpose, from being important transport links in the 18th and 19th centuries, to largely being left derelict. During the 20th century, however, the canals have been transformed from an obsolete infrastructure into a modern leisurescape used by various individuals, groups and stakeholders.

  • Friends of a Dales High Way Newsletter Here
    The Friends lead a walk for Ride2Stride 2012 Friends of A Dales High Way eNewsletter No 1 Spring 2014 Friends of A Dales High Way [email protected] Hello and welcome to the 1st Friends of A Dales High Way e- newsletter. The first of many we hope. Friends of A Dales High Way is a small voluntary organisation whose aim is to support and promote the long distance trail. Since it was set up in 2009 we have raised the money to waymark the route, produced a leaflet about the trail, led 2 walks and put on events as part of the Ride2Stride walking festival. It’s free to join, just go to daleshighway.co.uk/friends.htm and you’ll get occasional newsletters and emails to keep you up to date with whatever’s going on. Plus you’ll have the chance to send us your own news to put in the next newsletter. Waymarking Waymarking was completed in July 2013 when the final marker was put up by the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The process had taken some time as the 4 local authorities that the High Way passes through: Bradford, North Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Cumbria, all have strict criteria about sticking up little arrows all over their bridleways and footpaths. These days the authorities prefer to have a less is more approach and it’s something that FoADHW agree with. We don’t want to see our fellsides littered with signage either. Walkers on A Dales High Way should not expect to see a waymark on every gate and stile along the way.

  • Audit Committee
    BUSINESS PLAN 2016/17-18/19 1 Introduction 1.1.1 This three year business plan sets out the Trust’s plans to 2019. It reflects the ambitious 10 year strategy recently published by the Trust: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/library/9347-living-waterways-transform-places-and- enrich-lives-our-10-year-strategy.pdf 1.2 The planning process adopted has been led by this strategy, with resources aligned with the long term targets that the Trust has defined, incorporating also local input from our Waterway Partnerships, and local customer priorities. 1.3 The background to this Plan is a very successful three and a half years in which the Trust has developed, with strong financial performance and growth in a range of other measures from volunteer numbers to active ‘Friends’. 1.4 This success provides a firm foundation for this new business plan especially as this is the second year in which the Government Grant payments include an additional £10m of conditional grant. 2. Summary of the Plan 2.1 The Plan has been formed to incur a £5.5m deficit in the first year (16/17). This draws on the significant surplus generated by the Trust since 2012 and deploys it to ensure that expenditure on the Trust’s charitable activities grows steadily, as shown in the chart below. The plan returns to a small surplus in 2017/18 and 18/19. 250 INCOME 200 150 £m CHARITABLE EXPENDITURE 100 50 0 Actual Actual F'cast F8 Plan Plan Plan 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 Income is not expected to grow in 2016/17 after three years of good growth, reflecting the cycle of the Trust’s joint ventures, which are expected to give little return this year during a build phase (ahead of stronger return in 2017/18), with boat licence fees frozen and many other income lines flat as a result of zero inflation for most of the last year.
