About Us
- Ian and Irene Jameison
- 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.

Banks Newton Locks
Again the views were spectacular. Parts of the Leeds and Liverpool canal are diabolical. Wigan, Blackburn and Burnley especially, but the upper part makes the bad bits all worth while.

Top lock at Barrowford
Burnley
Neville joins the crew
Neville came to visit Dennis and Margaret. He is there next door neighbour and when he arrived he brought with him an arm full of rhubarb. This was evenly distributed between the three boats and we all had crumble that evening for desert.
Nev at the swing bridge
The weather hadn't been particularly good and it was such a shame for Neville but as normal we all made the best of it, and he did a good job of keeping Dennis company. He was with us for 4 days and was extremely welcome when it came to doing the swing bridges and locks.
