In this special edition of The Water Road, we talk to Richard Parry, who's stepping down this summer as Chief Executive of the Canal and River Trust. He answers questions about the performance of the charity, and warns that funding cuts means there's potential jeopardy for the canals in the future.

In this bumper episode of The Water Road we visit the Crick Boat Show in Northamptonshire -- the biggest show of its kind for the inland waterways. We talk to boat builders, Aquavista Marinas, the Inland Waterways Association, Emma Culshaw Bell one of the stars of Narrow Escapes, CRT's head of boating Matthew Symonds, and Paul Knox-Johnston from the insurers Haven Knox-Johnston, and the show's favourite ice cream man. Plus we'll talk to the winner of the boat which won the public vote for the Favourite Boat at the show.

Join us as we continue our travels on the waterways of England and Wales. In this episode we reach the end of the Caldon Canal. While our boat can't fit through Froghall Tunnel, we find a trip boat which can -- and we experience the Churnet Valley steam railway.

If you have any boating questions, leave them in the comments and I'll try to answer them in future episodes.
