Ribble Link is now on Facebook (account needed to log in)

	In January 2008 the “Ribble piddler” was removed due to rotting wood in his legs and ever since we’ve missed him towering over the Ribble Link. It’s just not been the same driving down Tom Benson Way, or sailing or walking down the canal.

All passages must be booked in advance and it is recommended that you book early to avoid disappointment. Operation of the link is dictated by the tide and weather during daylight hours. From Easter to mid-October, check current operating times in the British Waterways user guide leaflet. From November to Easter, passage is by request only. The link will be manned during operating hours. British Waterways staff operate the staircase flight locks 1-2 and sea lock 9; all other locks 4 - 8 to be operated by customers. The link will only operate one way each day. You will be notified of the directions at the time of your booking. It is recommended that you arrive at your departure point four hours before high tide. (Enquiries: 01942 405700)
The Millennium Ribble Link will be closed to passage through the winter.
