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.

Fun and games at the rally

Not going to say much about today other then we spent loads of money on the bric-a-brac, big boys toys and boat jumble stalls and I finally found something I have been searching for. A copper kettle. It's been a brilliant day and, as I took loads of photos, I will let them do the talking.

Nearest to the marker gets the points

Golden egg tossing and yes they were real eggs. The lines got further and further apart and the aim was not to break one!




By 4.30pm it was all over. Blooming good job to as the biggest blackest cloud came over and deposited it's contents drenching us, for a good hour.
