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.

Dredging at Zouch


Dredging had started early in the morning. That was okay by us as any dredging work was beneficial to all who used the canals. What wasn't acceptable was the amount of movement we had on the boat. It felt like we were in a force 10 gale with waves crashing over the tow path and soaking all and sundry. When we stuck our heads out of the boat we found the dredger using his large bucket to propel himself along the canal. Everyone was moaning about this and I think BW realized that we were pretty mad about being tossed around so much, so they finally sent a tug along to tow him instead.
