Waterway wanderers permit

[nottskev]

At such a modest price, I'd buy the permit, enforcement or not, and regardless of what other people do.

Sure. I said in a previous post that there would be no point buying it if all your local canal lengths were club/day ticket. That's the case for me - the T+M is all club water, as are the Erewash and the Beeston. I had a look at their map, and I was interested to see that the Grantham canal was included. That's a canal that, I think, is near to being fully restored after being disused and partially dewatered. I've fished a couple of lengths via club day tickets - it has some great tench fishing, and even some rudd - and I'll look into the CRT stretches. I'd happily chip in the cost of a bag of shopping from the supermarket for a year's fishing, especially given the overall good cause.

If it is there to care for the canals why don't cyclists and other tow path users pay or got asked for a charity donation.

Good point, why not a right to cycle and a right to walk/jog permit, were all on the canal for leasure so only fair all pay, otherwise are we to presume its discrimination against anglers ?

Canal towpaths are public footpaths so are freely open to walking, cycling etc.

Even on club stretches during matches ? That would do my head in

Was just reading most canal paths are not right of way, they are permissive paths, public have permission to use them but dont have a right, and this permission can be removed, so they could charge if they wanted, only fair I think, tow paths have upkeep costs just like the water,

Cyclists get everything for free lol,

If I drive to fish a canal I have to pay to be on the road and pay to fish, mr cyclist can go the same route and ride past me as I'm fishing for free, that's injustice right there lol

You can ask the same question about rivers or lakes and ponds in a park and fishery’s that allow the public access

Can’t help but have the name of Weirdoh in my head reading this thread.

I did once ask why they charge to fish my local country park lake and why other park users don't the answer was simply because they can. Bit like the C&RT.

Funny you should say that.

To the letter of law ,that never gets enforced anyway, to cycle on the towpath of Bridgewater canal in northwest, you need a permit from Peel Holdings, they only issue 12 a year,
