The Canal Volunteers - A Day In The Life On The Historic Chesterfield Canal
In this video i take up the invitation of spending a day with the Chesterfield Canal Trust Volunteers.
Join me on a Narrowboat Cruise as i get to see the little jobs undertaken in order to keep this historic canal clear and safe for wildlife, boaters and towpath users too!
Its an extraordinary oppertunity to see behind the scenes.
The Chesterfiled Canal Trust work activly in partnership with the Canal & River Trust.
The Eastern end of The Chesterfield Canal is owned and operated by Canal and River Trust but the volunteers on Python work in partnership with them to maintain their canal

Keeping canals open is a never ending task. Thank you and the volunteers for showing us how it's done on the beautiful Chesterfield Canal.

For more than 25 years we spend our holidays on a hire boat in the wonderful canals in the UK. We love the tranquillity of the surroundings and sometimes the necessary improvisation when things don't go as expected. We live in the Netherlands - which places us not in a position to opt for becoming a volunteer - which I would certainly apply for if I lived in the neighbourhood. You are doing a wonderful job!

Many thanks for a fascinating video. We are very lucky that there are so many public spirited people who keep the canal functioning. I think, however, that the Trust could really do with a chain saw!
