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.

Watford staircase


We arrived at Watford staircase locks quite early in the morning and expected to have to wait for the lock keeper to turn up. We didn't realise that there is no lock keeper on during the winter months and as the locks were mostly in our favour, the whole passage took just 35 minutes.
The locks had been closed for part of December and we were pleasantly surprised that the work had also included stripping away all the foliage growth in and around the side ponds.
