(See posts passim).<br /><br />The charging policy has really knocked the number of visiting boats. It is a great shame because it means most boaters don't get to enjoy what is a truly lovely stretch of river. <br /><br />However, the Conservancy feels the best way to raise revenue is by charging in this way.<br /><br />Other user groups (rowers, anglers and any other loose aglomeration of anti-boater types) are far from unhappy with the current arrangement as it has reduced boat traffic on the river to a trickle.<br /><br />"You can please some of the people some of the time........"<br /><br />Shame it isn't us..........<br /><br />:-)John Wittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291220958329864659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580507995910853692.post-76203023471369081122013-10-08T08:42:52.006+01:002013-10-08T08:42:52.006+01:00I love the photos, they remind me of the many time...I love the photos, they remind me of the many times I have been down that way. Not anymore though unless the Cam Conservators change their charging policy. I was around the Great Ouse this year and it would have cost £150 for a few days in Cambridge. Why can’t they charge daily or weekly visitor fees as do other river authorities (I don’t expect you to know the answer to that)Aboard nb William Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215392837099844192noreply@blogger.com
