	Grand Union Canal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The canal was dredged and bank improvements carried out: the depth was increased to 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 metres) to allow heavier cargoes, and the minimum width increased to 26 feet (7.92 metres) to enable two boats of 12 feet 6 inches to pass.
		The Grand Union Canal was nationalised in 1948, control transferring to the British Transport Commission, and in 1962 to the British Waterways Board, later British Waterways.
		At Whilton, the canal reaches the bottom of the Buckby flight of seven locks which raise it to Braunston summit although the village of that name is still 5 miles (8 km) distant.

		A canal and river licence enables a vessel to be used on any BW waterway, whereas a river-only 'pleasure boat certificate' is valid only on specified river waterways, and costs 60% of the cost of a full 'licence'.
		However, if you need to make a passage along a BW canal as part of your cruising pattern, it may be worthwhile purchasing either a short term (1 day, 1 week, 1 month) or long term (3, 6 or 12 months) licence to 'top up' your river registration.

	Pattern Recognition
		I went on a canal boat holiday with rare aquatic badger (and someone else, to make it sound less like a terrible gay cruise) once and it was great great fun.
		The canals (hertford union and regents) are some of my fave bits of london and a great place to cycle (unless like today the wind's against you both ways in which case avoiding little old ladies and dogs can be a bit of a challenge).
		The second picture is the Regent's Canal (part of the Grand Union Canal) and goes from somewhere near Limehouse in the Docklands to Islington (best access in Islington through Colebrook Row), then underground through Camden Lock and to Little Venice in Paddington.
