Recommendations for 2 retired, but active couples visiting the UK and looking at narrowboat hire. Portion of hire would be over the Easter 2012 period (6-9 April), preferably 10 days hire approx. Looking at Llangollen, gather this is a popular waterway...would it be horribly busy at this time? Are 7 days long enough given the loss of two days collecting and dropping off? We have looked in general at the web and a couple of Hirers... one out of Beeston and one out of Chirk, Approx 45ft craft look reasonable. (are specific hire company recommendations allowed to be discussed ?) Two of our group, back in the early 1970's cruised the LLangollen....nearly froze to death, but gather things have improved on the craft since! Its not easy making choices from so far away so hope the canal folk from the UK can give us colonials some expert advice and suggestions, thank you Cheers!.
