Environment Agency launches new Anglian Pass for boaters
Boaters now have the option to purchase an Anglian Pass which allows them to navigate unrestricted across neighbouring navigations.
From:
14 May 2021 The pass allows boaters to move between different waterways without having to pay multiple registration fees.
The Environment Agency, the Conservators of the River Cam, and the Middle Level Commissioners worked together to develop the new pass. The pass covers the River Nene, the Great Ouse system, the Middle Level Navigation and the River Cam.
The new annual pass went live on April 1 to mark the start of the boating season. It allows boaters to move easily between different waterways without having to pay multiple registration fees.

20 of the Best Outdoor Swimming Pools in the UK Annie Hayes
If your last encounter with an outdoor swimming pool was Ibiza 2019, it’s about time you made a splash in the UK’s lidos. Besides offering a welcome change of scenery after the best part of a year spent indoors, swimming is the shortcut to swole you didn’t know you needed – you’ll torch fat, build injury-free muscle, and crank up your metabolism with every length.
Aesthetics aside, hitting the pool can even help you live longer. Compared to walkers, runners and couch potatoes, men who swam regularly halved their risk of dying from all causes, research from the University of South Carolina found. Make swimming a habit, and you’ll slash your risk of chronic illness, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke, the NHS states.
