About Us

My photo
In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

BBQ at Jim & Anna's


Michael playing his whistle, Dennis in the middle and Carole keeping an eye on how much beer has been drunk.

Margaret in pink, Anna next to her and opposite in the green is Jim. Raine is to the right of Jim in the light blue.


Carole and Mick turned up on their boat Electra and told us of a BBQ happening at Cassiobury Wharf. As there was moorings available for two boats, Dennis and Ian decided to move the boats while Margaret and me went about frantically putting some food together so we wouldn't arrive empty handed. Our host were Jim and Anna on there Narrow boat Elizabeth. They had been over to France with it for 4 years and came back to spend some time on the British canals. Jim was a great musician and played the ukulele and squeeze box brilliantly. He was joined by Raine who played the accordion. What a great night. Mick joined in with his whistle and was in fine voice as usual. Finally went to bed at midnight.
