It is something we are considering, an opportunity to meet up with my folks on a visit they may be taking to England next year. As their plans progress, so will ours, and I am always happy when the plan puts me on the water! Thanks for sharing your adventure in a narrowboat.

I couldn’t think where I had bumped into you, but quickly realised when you said you had broke down at the Boat Inn Churnet Valley, it was only a brief meeting. Thank you for putting me on your web page. Churnet Valley is the best place to be in the world according to me, I love it because of the steam trains. I love what you said about the Morrison’s trolleys it’s ace, you have called the trolleys carts, and you were amazed that you had to put money in to release them. Love it. We just get used to all this and to be honest when I go shopping I hate it can’t wait to get back to my boat. Best regards Michelle Martin What a lovely time you had, really pleased you had a good holiday.

We were the bright green Canal Cruising nb, Alice Elizabeth. We went up to both Froghall and Leek, and were all agreed that it was a lovely trip, particularly after Stoke-on-Trent. I'm glad you had such a good time. We were wondering how it had turned out for you. :) (Followed the link from the canalworld forums) We met you at the Etruria staircase locks!

We are currently planning our third trip, having done the four counties ring (14 days in 08) and also a week from Evesham(Avon River) to Wooten Wawen in 06. Coming from Western Austalia we have nothing like the English canal system and as you have found it is the most wonderful way to travel. Thank you for the wonderful account of your week on the cut.

I was interested in your Caldon experience as I am hiring a boat in November and was considering a trip up the Caldon, although I understand the Frognall branch may be closed for out of season repairs. Do you intend to have another narrowboat holiday? Pleased that you had a great holiday.
