Naughty Cal

We have hired from Le Boat in Brittany in the past. We hired a budget boat and it was ok but not the best. Would recommend a better specced boat if going down that route. That said we really enjoyed the holiday and it's a beautiful stretch of water.

As one of their customers we received an email from them on the 18 June saying they are not expecting to introduce a hosepipe ban this year. They are asking people to make small changes to their water use though. "The country has had the warmest and sunniest spring on record, and with much less rain, there's obviously less water in rivers and reservoirs. We're investing and working hard to keep water flowing - but we need your help too. Small changes at home can make a big difference - for the environment, for your community, and for a great summer for everyone. We cannot guarantee rain, so we'd like your help this summer where you can. Be a water hero this summer Join millions of others making simple swaps that save water every day: Keep a jug of water in the fridge instead of running the tap for cold water. Use a watering can instead of a hose in the garden. Check for a leaky loo - it could be wasting 400 litres a day (that's 5 baths!) and cost you £300 a year if left unfixed We're doing our bit, too We wouldn’t ask for your help if we weren’t doing our bit too. Right now, Severn Trenters are working 24/7 to keep water flowing. It’s one of the reasons why you haven’t seen a hosepipe ban here since 1995: Finding and fixing leaks faster – over 60,000 last year alone. Using cutting-edge No Dig technology to fix leaks faster. Every fix means more water stays in the system. Replacing hundreds of miles of water mains across your region. (Sorry for any hold-ups, but it’ll be worth it in the long term). Building new treatment works like Witches Oak in Derbyshire to give another 89 million litres a day – enough for a city the size of Derby. Thanks to this work – and water heroes like you – we’ll be in a good position for summer.
