The kids can, under adult supervision, help to steer what other holiday offers them the opportunity to do this.

They love to help at the locks and will soon be handling them like experts.

They can be given a range of tasks, depending on their capabilities, they can help to moor up the boat or hold it to the bank with ropes.
