Lou and I did our first ever narrowboat holiday last week and it was a great success. We were accompanied by Kieran and his girlfriend Becky and my parents for a total of six with an age span of almost 65 years. For such a disparate group to all have a good time is a strong testament to how relaxing such a holiday can be!<\/p>\n

Now I’ve received vouchers for 25% discount if I book another canal holiday for this year. Lou and I would love to do this and are in the process of trying to find four friends who fancy spending a week plodding along in a boat. Six people seems to be good number and works out (with discount) at about \u00c2\u00a3150 per person for a week in September. If you know Lou or I and are interested, please get in touch, it’s good fun, honest!<\/p>\n

For the record, this is where we spent each night whilst we travelled around the Stourport Ring. The last night (Friday) was spent in the docks from which we started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
