Safe Anchor Trust canal boat trip

We will be travelling via taxis from Wakefield Bus Station at 10.15am, arriving at Shepley Bridge Marina in Mirfield ready to set off at 11am. We intend to travel 6 and a half miles to Kirklees Lower Lock to arrive back at Shepley Bridge by 3pm. We will then take taxis back to Wakefield Bus Station and should arrive back comfortably by 3.45pm.

The boat is specially adapted for disabled visitors (including wheelchairs) and are manned by a full crew of Safe Anchor Trust volunteers.

This time we will be taking two boats out, which can accommodate a total of 22 guests (including WDSA staff and volunteers). Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, and anyone who was on the waiting list from our last trip will be given priority. Places will be prioritised for people with visual impairment but if you need a sighted companion with you to access the trip, then this is of course completely fine.

The cost of the trip, which includes a contribution towards the coach travel and a donation to the Safe Anchor Trust, is £15 per person, which must be paid in advance. Tea, coffee, and biscuits are supplied onboard, and please bring your lunch with you.
