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.

Kingfisher
Spot the kingfisher. I think every one must gather by now that this is my favourite bird!! 
Fallen branch
On our way to the Autherley junction we spied something across the bridge hole. On closer inspection it turned out to be a blooming great branch. Ian did his bit by removing it from the canal.

Perch and Roach
Finally I managed to catch some decent fish This roach weighed in at nearly 2lb
and put up quite a fight. 
Whereas this roach was 2lb 9oz and came in like a wet lettuce. Shame I couldn't have a good picture of me holding them but Ian was away at the time so I grabbed the camera and made the best of it.
Bunbury staircase
When we reached Bunbury locks two boats had already entered the top lock. We had already seen another pair of boats pass on these staircase locks, and so we entered the bottom lock and when both locks were level one boat came in next to me and the other boat pushed across allowing me to pass and enter the next lock.
This was taken at twilight looking over to Cholmondeston Lock.
Hitchcocks, The Birds??
On our way back we came agross this lot. They seemed to be eyeing us up. I wondered if our roof and us we be covered in their sh******t.
