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.

Work Party

Doing the lock for us
Laying the new towpath
What a great job the Shropshire Union Canal Society  do. Both Ian and I have always said that this canal always looks good. Towpaths in good repair, hedges cut, good visitor moorings ( some with picnic and BBQ facilities) and hardly any rubbish lying about. As we approached Hack Green lock we were greeted by a work party painting bollards, installing new visitor mooring posts and generally tidying the lock surrounds. Some were laying a new towpath while others were setting and helping us through the locks. All were very friendly and a nicest bunch of people that you could hope to meet.l Well done to all.
