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.

Pie & Pea Gathering

One of the reasons for returning to Sandiacre was to partake of the Pie & Pea weekend. The ECP&DA hold this event every year at the start of the cruising season. Not many boats make it up the Erewash so to have 20 plus boats arrive and take over the basin is a sight to see. Last night was games and chat night and this evening a guest band will entertain us until we break for our Pie's and mushy pea's and then our own society band will see the evening through with Folk music.  By Sunday all but our boat will be gone and peace will once again return to the basin.

One of the smaller boats to make it to Sandiacre!!!
