Cotswold Canals on Television

«

»

The Cotswold Canals restoration is making good progress and they have recently been visited by BBC's Countryfile Team.

Matt Baker "takes to the water to lend a hand helping to restore parts of the Cotswold Canal".

It's scheduled for broadcast in our region on BBC 1 at 18:15 on Sunday (25th) but check for local variations in the timings. And you can always watch our Cotswold Canals DVD if you miss the Countryfile program.

Going up in the Spring

«

»

A little over 12 months ago, Tony Blews created the wonderful UK Waterways Ranking Site (UKWRS) and it's Tony's hard work that has created the source data for this blog. Tony has kindly granted me permission to use the data. Thank you.

Last month I showed how the scores varied for the top 15 sites in the ranking and this month its time to look at the next 15 sites, those in positions 16 to 30 (at the time I captured the data).

2

The first graph shows all fifteen sites mixed up and its rather hard to see which is which. The next three graphs separate them into groups of five.

Graph 2 shows Google Earth Canal Maps, Water Explorer, Narrowboat Bones, WB Takey Tezey and NB Luck Duck which all seem to have been increasing over the last few months.

Graph 3 shows the ups and downs of Canal Photos, Chertsey, Derwent6, Baddie the Pirate and Narrowboat Caxton.

4

Graph 4 shows the generally increasing scores for Working Boat Hadar, Zulu Warrior, Captain Ahab's Watery Tales, Contented Souls and NB Piston Broke.

Finally, the last graph shows Debdale. Adam left a comment on the previous post about the variability of his scores and here's a personalised graph to show just that.

I have data for all sites since 8 November 2009, so leave me a comment if you'd like to be featured.

Cheshire Ring Canoe Race

«

»

We always appreciate feedback from our customers and this week it was great to hear of an unusual use for one of our Cheshire Ring Bowcam DVDs.

The Macclesfield and District Canoe Club organise an annual Cheshire Ring Race and one of the entrants found our DVD helpful for planning the race.

You can also take a trip around the Cheshire Ring by following the next arrows in our photo gallery.

I hope they have a great weekend with good weather for their trip around the ring.
