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.

Grass snake


   As I fished on the Coventry canal this snake appeared from nowhere and slowly made its way along the far edge. I assumed it was a grass snake as they often take to the water.

That is indeed a grass snake. We have seen a couple in the canal. They are very pretty.
It looks like your both having a lovely time.
We have better news. Having been in touch with the powers that be. Keith has been given an appointment. It is a long tale and one which I had to do some verbal fighting in, but he is going into hospital on the 13th May for his exploritory op. Amazing how an appointment can be found when you kick up a fuss. So fingers crossed now they do not cancel.
Happy cruising to you both. Jo x
