Children just love a canal holiday and
the family can have great fun together, working as a team,
especially at the locks. Being out in the fresh, open air
all day will tire them out and they’ll go out like
a light at bedtime. Be ready for big appetites though!
Safety First
Safety is a priority for TILLERMAN and
as part of your training we will make sure you are aware
of the safety considerations so that you and we have peace
of mind whilst you enjoy your holiday.
We provide life jackets for the under 12 year olds and for those adults
that prefer to wear one – however remember the canals are only
about 5 feet deep so if you do accidentally fall in then stand up. The
boats are checked annually and are safety certified. We will explain
what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency and make sure you know
how to pass through the locks safely. Provided you follow our procedures
there is nothing to worry about.
