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.

That time of year again


2020, not the best year we have ever had, in fact glad to see the back of it and to think this time last year we were getting ready for the NZ and Aussie trip totally oblivious as to what was to come. Such a relief that a vaccine is now available, and feeling very positive that 2021 will be the year we can all get back to some sort of normality. Keeping everything crossed. 

Christmas will be a quiet affair, Zoom calls only from the kids and gosh, how sad are we that no hugs will be forthcoming from the Grandchildren. But maybe by Easter things will have improved enough to  meet with the family again, lets hope so anyway. So to everyone that has joined our journey 'down under' and here in the UK all that is left to say is:-

A very Merry Christmas to you both. We just got back from Australia last year before the lockdown and followed your travels while you were still stuck over there. We can’t wait to get back but I think it will be a while before we can go. Had a lovely FaceTime with the family last night in Adelaide Hills fingers crossed the vaccine will give us our lives back. Stay safe the pair of you xx

I hope you were able to enjoy your Christmas? Like most people we had a quiet one with a skype call with the family where we all opened our presents from each other. It has been very relaxing, but we all obviously hope for better next year. Take care and roll on the vaccine. Jennie and Chris x
