For those of you who have a love of canals and a way with words, why not enter the Canal and River Trust writing competition and share your canal memories with others?
The CRT wants to hear your stories of times spent by or on the canals and rivers - so write a story of no more than 300 words of your most memorable visit to the waterways. This could be about a holiday, volunteering or walking.
Winners will be selected by Ian McMillan - and there are some special prizes courtesy of Stephen Fry who is a fan of canals. To find out more visit the CRT site - Words on the Waterways
