We’ve hired a wide beam canal boat called ‘Red Watch’ for the week. This boat has all the mod cons - central heating, hot showers, electric fridge,  microwave, cooker, full power, lighting etc that we will need for a comfortable stay in October!<p>
Arriving at the boat at midday we will cruise until around 5pm. Project members can have turns at steering the boat as well as other tasks such as helping to get the boat through the locks.&#8200;Please don’t come if you’re not willing to help out with looking after the boat. James (who is on the boat all week)&#8200;is a qualified canal boat helm.<p>
In the evening we will be able to go ashore and play games before cooking dinner and then watch a film in the warm heated cabin. In the morning we will cruise on to our destination.<p>
The boat contains bouyancy aids which must be worn by the members who are on deck whilst the boat is moving and other safety equipment. There will be 2 adults and a maximum of 10 members on board at any time, with the members sleeping in a seperate cabin to the adults. Any adults willing to help on board during the day or overnight please let us know! In the 24 hours you are on board you will cruise between two of Harlow, Hertford and Waltham Abbey (We will advise pickup/drop off points nearer the time)&#8200;and go through around 10 locks.<p> 
You can sign up for one 24 hour period to start with, but if nearer the time we have spaces you will be able to stay for longer if you want to.
