Thanks Steve That was very helpful (and quick) Have Fun Ant

Hi there everyone, It’s great to be here. I am a very new to boating, I have always wanted to try a canal holiday and this year we have booked to navigate the Llangollen canal from whitchuch, I have allowed seven days for the return trip, my kids and wife cant wait. I have noticed from a previous post mention to the fact that you have to book a lock, is this correct, if so do you have to book all locks or just certain ones? I have booked the holiday through "UK Boat Hire" (Waterway holidays), they seem to be quite good, can any one suggest the best book and maps to purchase to help me plan out the trip. I am going in August, I suppose that would be peak season, I would welcome any tips and suggestions. All the best Anthony and Family
