HOW TO GUIDE: RIBBLE LINK ADVICE What to Do, How & When - our narrowboat life UK

NARROW ESCAPE - our narrowboat life adventure. In this episode we set out a HOW TO GUIDE for CROSSING THE RIBBLE MILLENIUM LINK in PRESTON.

The Link was opened in 2002 and joins Tarleton on the Rufford Branch of the LEEDS & LIVERPOOL CANAL with the LANCASTER CANAL via Savick Brook. It included two stretches of deep tidal river which brings with it a natural danger But, those dangers can be reduced and mitigated against with some sensible precautions.

In this video we look at:
1) HOW TO PREPARE YOUR BOAT
2) HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF & YOUR CREW
3) WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE DAY, WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AND WHEN
4) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GOING UP THE LINK AND DOWN THE LINK

Ps at the time this video was made the CRT currently have a helpful Skippers Guide which you’ll find with an easy Google. It’s well worth printing a copy out if you can ahead of your crossing.

Good luck and enjoy!!
