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.

Foulridge Tunnel


We arrived at the tunnel entrance at 7.45 am. Waiting to go through was another boat called Marbeck Phoenix. As the lights were on red we had to wait a further 15 minutes for them to change to green before we were allowed to proceed. Dead on 8 am the lights changed and we donned our water proofs, switched on all the cabin lights as well as headlight and nav lights and entered the tunnel. Yes it was wet but very easy to navigate through and we made the whole length in 15 mins.
