We went through a lot of locks... This one was huge! And a bit scary, I was not too fond of being in the boat while going down in the locks. What if the gate gave way!
On our way we met a few interesting characters, some awful horrible people who were just rude. Others were lovely, including this rather cute Schnauzer called Olive. So friendly and strokable. I wanted to steal her but J wouldn't let me. Although he does now like Schnauzers more...
This is the inside of the boat, it's compact! And hopefully you can even see our little fire, which I managed to start as it got a bit chilly in the evening. In the evenings we cooked for each other, sat, drank and sang. It was good fun being all together for a few days and working in such a small space! You certainly need to know people quite well to go on a canal boat with them.
And finally the boating team and our boat. We got ours from
College Cruisers, who were lovely. And I would definitely recommend a boating trip with some friends if you're looking for something a bit different!

I would love to do that!
Do it! Such fun. Although the weather helped, in winter it would be miserable...
Look fun, and the doggy is gorgeous!
I guess we don't really have tours like this where I am. The closest thing is when people rent large inner-tubes and "float" the river down by Austin. But it looks so much fun!
And Olive is adorable! I've always wanted to name a dog that- just never had girl dogs! Of course, I love schnauzers!!
Looks like fun, I've always wanted to go on a boating trip. xx
