Canals in deep freeze

11th Jan 2010

As the arctic weather continues to grip the country, Britain’s canals and river navigations have iced over.

Almost 90 per cent of British Waterways’ 2,200-mile network has frozen solid. British Waterways is warning that although the snowy waterways look safe to walk or play on, any attempt to go on the ice is extremely dangerous.

British Waterways’ message for visitors is to stay SAFE by Staying Away From the Edge.
