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.

leaving Sandiacre

Finally our day of departure. Seems like we've been moored here for ever. We still had to wait until BW knocked of at 4pm because the crane boat was across the lock gates.  Some of the coping stones had been put in place and as the pointing was so near to the waters edge we only opened one paddle in case the sudden rush of water washed all the cement away. ( BW would have loved that!!!!!)  Hopefully it will be all finished when we next get back in a couple of weeks.  

Hybrids or true breed? That is the question!!
