Waterways licence, I think it's called. Estuaries and the sea + some rivers are exempt. Some reservoirs charge a premium (thanks Anglia Water...) or you have to join a registered club at the reservoir.

I only found out when I was warned by someone nearby that they have been asked for theirs in the last couple of weeks on the Great Ouse.

You can join British Canoeing for £45/year and it gives a licence for the member (rather than for each craft if you go via each waterway) and applies on 4500km of waterways.

Paddleboarders are included. Basically any "unpowered open boat", from dragon boat to light inflatable. Open still applies to craft with splashdecks (kayak).
Pretty good when registration for a single named craft (you are required to display a small licence plate) for the Thames alone is 90p more per year than BritishCanoeing membership!

a what now?
I saw that the kayak's have gone up to £318 this morning.
makes me even more curious about what's actually going to turn up!
also, as it's coming from china, will there be duty to pay? or because it's through amazon is the duty included?
