In that case Roger let me warn you that there is not a single stretch of the canal system where there has not been trouble at some time, including Skipton where as you know I experienced it myself. That knowledge is valuable? It's valueless IMO. Better just to use common sense. And if something happens report it to the appropriate authorities, not this list where serious damage may be done to a local economy.

I disagree Steve, having knowledge of an area that has been known to have problems in the past allows you to use your judgement when you arrive there to use a balance of past risk v present assessment to decide whether you want to chance it or not. It would not be very nice to suffer a nasty incident only to be told later "Oh, I could have warned you about that place but I didn't because I didn't want to stigmatise the place" Knowledge is power and allows considered personal choices in all things.
