Canal Boating
We do not have our own canal boat but we can access Wakefield
District's Jubilee Venture which is moored at Wakefield on the River
Calder. We have four qualified helmsmen with authorisation and hope
to train more to make this activity more accessible. We have used the boat to explore the local canals and
have taken it as far as the outskirts of Leeds on the Aire, and to
Salterhebble on the Calder and Hebble Canal. Canal Boating is relaxing whilst motoring, but is
interspersed with bursts of activity. Using the boat gives us an
opportunity to introduce people to the water, the canals, wildlife and our
local heritage. We try and allow everyone to take a turn at the helm and
hopefully most enjoy the experience.
