Longer Cruise from Rugby

A holiday longer than a week on Hazel Street allows you to take a cruise to a wide selection of places. Those listed in the menu are usually beyond the reach on a one-week cruise.

Of course you should be taking it easy on the canals. You may enjoy your holiday better if you cruise for a short while, then moor up and enjoy the countryside, a walk, a local attraction or a pub, then when you're ready move on again.

On occasions, some of these destinations may be out of range, because of weather (too wet or too dry), other people (boat festivals, summer weekends) causing queues at flights of locks etc., and for a number of other reasons. Tell someone at your hire base where you intend to go and ask if there are likely to be any problems before you set out.

It is assumed that you will not want to cruise for more than 8 hours per day - this is too much for many people. A two-week hire gives you 13 full days or 104 hours maximum cruising (24 hours each way - or a ring). Of course you can combine weeks and half weeks to match your planned route.
