Hi Andyrob good to hear that you are a potential Boater :o) And yes the continuous cruising licence is indeed still going, though some regulations have been tightened up by british waterways ie, length of stay at any one place. In simple terms this means that one can moor at any place for up to 14 days only, after that you must move a distance of 14 lock miles. Confused ??? Good, cos we were too.:o)
14 lock miles means a distance of 14 miles or 14 locks, which ever comes first. For example if there are 14 locks in the first 2 mile stretch, then you need only move 2 miles, but if there are no locks then you need to travel the full 14 miles. And just to make it more difficult, you may not return to a previous mooring site for at least 45 days. Happy Boating...:-)"
