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.

A quiet lazy day

 July 29th

The garage was phoned a tad after 8, we were too early as the chap we had to speak to was not in the office. So we settled down to await a call back, it didn't happen!

Olympic diving watched (well done Daley and Williams on getting silver) and still no phone call, so Ian phoned again. This time the boss himself answered, couldn't really say no to Ian's request, and told to make our way to the garage.

Long story short, it was confirmed that the alternator was at fault and doubtful it would last until we got back. So tomorrow 8 am (Tuesday) we will leave MB with him so the work can be done. Not sure what we will do for several hours, maybe get a bus into Inverness. To be decided then.

Once again we had to stay in this area, so back we went to the harbour. This time we found a space overlooking the Moray Firth. It was a glorious day, too good to stay inside, the chairs were dusted off (not seen the light of day since we left Langley Mill) a cold beer poured and selfie taken. We really need to do this more often!
