The Boating Association Avis 

Easy lock keeper based purchase.
EDIT: 4.8.2026
Used the charts yesterday for my first solo downstream cruise Torksey to West Stockwith. Easy to follow the red line in conjunction with Open Canal Maps on my phone.
A couple of minor improvements could be made based on my solo experience:

Chart 2 p 23 Hazard 01 is marked on the wrong side of the navigation on the chart
Maybe include a few more pictures of landmarks as per previous editions rather than historical details that I couldn’t appreciate whilst in transit!
I’ve also just bought some sticky labels to place as per mile markers recorded in Nicholsons for next stage of my journey.

Books were perfect and the postage was on time, cannot fault the service

The staff where so very helpful and could not do for you regards g Telford

Very simple and digital 👌 for quick result 🤓

Extremely helpful, and friendly to me as a newcomer to the boating community. Cannot fault them.

The charts were very helpful. I had trouble completing the payment, but TBA is very patient about that. Also, I found the Facebook page had great advice and information.

Great value tide tables that arrived very quickly, along with a nice sticker to promote the organisation, which I shall affix to my Narrowboat.
It would have been 5 stars, except the envelope arrived open and was re-sealed by Royal Mail - fortunately nothing missing

The charts where picked up from the lock keeper and paid for via the link great service.

Fabulous organisation that we cannot recommend enough. Great service to its members that i am proud to be a now a member.

Looking forward to using my TBA charts - three comprehensive booklets covering the Trent and the Ouse. Definitely helping to ease my first-timer nerves having comprehensive documentation to cover the journey!
