Is it just me or are we beginning to think that anything with water in it counts a 'waterway'?

Thread drift. Given that this thread has the best part of 12,000 posts and 500 pages I think it has stayed remarkably close to the OP's intent.

In this time of incalculable gloom, our boats, landscapes, boating activities and wildlife are still stunningly beautiful and give joy to those viewing. I miss  those experiences. You would cheer me up, and I guess many others   by posting photos, and videos of your  day by day boating and what you encounter, it is stunningly beautiful and in this you are so lucky. Likewise the responses to my photos of alternative boating here in New Zealand have obviously given pleasure so let's share this pleasure. We are not totally powerless to create pleasure without endangering ouselves or others

Please just post that lovely dawn photo today and more. Spring in Britain is beautifully photogenic, and as this goes on, so is summer, and then autumn, and winter. Share the views please.

Well I for one thoroughly approve the way this thread has travelled.

Way way better then any of my initial hopes.

It is a superb collection of photographs of largely UK inland waterways, in the various weather and seasonal conditions.

The thread is enhanced by those offshore, and some onshore excursions.

There really are some stunning photographs, and I really appreciate Peter Scott's work in cross referencing his photos. This increases the value of this resource tremendously.

 

So once again thanks to all who have, and are contributing.

You continue to brighten my days and allow us to recall the wonderful places and people we encountered on our travels, particularly our time on "the cut"

 

Even today's photos of the Circus Field basin with those familiar boats provoked nostalgia for a great period in our lives.

 

Thank you all and have a great Christmas.

This reduction in the canal width was done by CRT without any consultation with the canal restoration group, yet they were the group responsible for saving it when they did the restoration.
