About Us

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.

Our final day here. Unless the police say otherwise!!!!!!

Another very warm day today so I decided to do the washing. I'm hoping we can fill with water tomorrow at Willington. Last fill was over a week ago at Alrewas so I allowed myself one load in the machine. Then I got a phone call from PC Kate Medlam. " It is imperative that we get together so that we can get you to identify Jason, our con man. Is there any way we can meet up soon and get this done ?." I told her that we were still at Burton and that tomorrow would be the only day convenient for us to get to the Police station. The update is, that Jay is still denying the charge made against him. He is also refusing to give a sample of his hand writing so that they can compare that with his name and phone number written down by him on a scrap of paper . Next step now is for PC Medlam to contact the Crown Prosecutor and discuss whether the phone number Jay gave us, as well as the note, will be sufficient so that we don't have to identify him. I now await another phone call to see if we can move on tomorrow or have to stay in Burton another day.

So the wrgie's,s are still working hard in clearing the site. Not much left to see on the field now except lots of empty marquees. Another couple of days and you wouldn't know anyone had been there!

There is to be no IWA festival next year. Its all to do with the Olympics, so next date will be 2013 and possibly on the Kennet and Avon.
