The year before that down the Grand Union Canal to London, did the tidal Thames from Limehouse to Teddington (which was buttock-clenching and amazing at the same time), then back via the Oxford Canal, the year before that Gloucester and Sharpness.

The boat itself (which I live on all year round) is a 42' Peter Nicholls trad stern narrowboat (or "sewer tube"!) built in 1986. I have a mooring in Warwickshire, work half the year (in Winter) and go boating all Summer, normally Easter to September.

What a wonderful way to live life
