Thanks, I will take a look at their list 🙂 Good idea to sort by date, may be possible, will see what I can do (I only store the expiry date in a field, not sure if I can get at it for the list). D

We now have 66 events and festivals in 2024 on our map, I am sure we are missing some, what are we missing. SEE https://floydtilla.co.uk/uk-canal-festivals-map/ D

Our mapping project has progressed, we now have over 2600 places mapped divided into 8 Maps plus the Everything Map (https://floydtilla.co.uk/they-everything-map/) that contains all the data from the other maps, but takes much longer to download.

Thanks David

Found it see https://floydtilla.co.uk/uk-canal-festivals-map/?marker=2973 Thanks D

Is there a supporting web page / Facebook page I can reference, need a bit more info? Thanks D

Not my current plan, it is still a work in progress, and is being updated all the time. I have been asked a few times now, most seem to want to put it in an app to sell, at the moment it is free to use. D

Hi Tim Is there any I can reference for this, it is great to have something office to point people at Ta D

Hi Tim Was that the also the Rickmansworth Event that has been cancelled ? D

I have put it in, but all the pages about it are very old now D

Hi Tim How did you find this? it is on my list to add but I could not find a confirmed date for 2024? Dave

We now are up to 37 for next year see https://floydtilla.co.uk/uk-canal-festivals-map/ D

Thanks, added Fairport, but not sure about New Forest event, seems a little bit away from the canals and Rivers 🙂 Ta D

I have started a new map of canal festivals and events, it is a work in progress so far I have 22 in the database, each event has a location and is timed to disappear from the map once the event is over. As yet I have not included events that are Cruising between locations, I am still working on how to represent these on the map. So what I am looking for is any events you think I should include, they can be annual or one off’s. It would be great if they have a supporting web page or group. See https://floydtilla.co.uk/uk-canal-festivals-map/ Thanks D

Got it 🙂 https://floydtilla.co.uk/canal-and-riverside-pubs-and-restaurants/?marker=2876 D

I am having problems locating this one, probably me, do you have a postcode for them? Ta D

Ta D

It started like that, but am spreading the net a little wider now, updates every day. Thanks D

this may help https://floydtilla.co.uk/canal-and-riverside-pubs-and-restaurants/ D

Wow thanks, interesting stuff, keep them coming

What interesting places have you visited on your canal boat? I am trying to extend our map of places to visit on the canals. https://floydtilla.co.uk/things-to-see-on-the-canals-rivers-in-the-uk/ Would love some polite recommendations. David

Thanks, have updated Looks very good, like that. I have added a little icon for that on the mooring map, will test it over the next few weeks before it appears on the other maps D
