[shrubfact]

planning a 3 day trip along the local river / canal in my rowing dinghy...... do i need to buy a license to use waterways or can i just get in & start rowing ......... all advice appreciated

I guess it depends on who owns it. British waterways info on licenses here:

Don't freak at the up to 18 foot price at £400, there's an unpowered price for canoes and dinghies of £40 per annum.

Good to hear you're getting out in a boat, I hope you write up your experience for us.

And if you go to Scotland, unpowered craft are covered by our rather civilised access laws, and you can go almost anywhere you want.
