15 Years a liveaboard, well done!

Not in the canal I'm sat here watching canal videos, following various people. Reading forums and looking at boats for sale just thinking what a lovely way it must be to live. What I wonder is how long did it take you live aboards to finally jump into it?

Seen this deal online, might come in handy for you boat people. Folding Trolley Link

Take it week by week.

I found myself reading this forum and watching you tube video on canal boats. Stuck in my brick build bungalow... wanting to go on adventure!

Would say it better accross the uk. Also faster. But of course someone somewhere is going to have a bad experience.

Well.. Thanks to everyone that replied. I did not go. Couldn't get a second person in such short notice. Will try and do this another time but arranged. One thing to add is the amount of company's I emailed about Narrow boat holidays and got NO REPLY!!!

How do you manage with heat in the boat on hot days? Leaving the dog alone etc?

Thanks, running out of time!

Thanks, I have just seen that also, Hmm time to ring people on late notice!! Will call them and ask about single person booking and try my luck.

Planning this on my own with the dog, got some unexpected time off work. Hence the late booking, and hopefully going tomorrow.

Thanks, so as I am a total newbie to canals can I move off the £6 per night canal stay? How far does it run for? Why are you shouting? And I have no idea what you message means?

Can anyone tell me if this seems good value? How is the location etc? Now: £594 11th July 2016 - 14th July 2016 (4 nights) Thanks https://www.hoseasons.co.uk/boat-holidays/maestermyn-marine-maes/kerry-bh1767?adult=2&nights=4&range=3&start=11-7-2016&sortorder=4

Anyone here boat alone with a dog? Full time CC'ing?

So I have a week off work starting Monday 11th July. Is there such a site where you can find last minute canal holidays? Of can anyone recommend somewhere based on personal experience?

XP no longer supported.

Yep, excellent electric bike. Comes in a range of colours now not just black. http://www.onyerbike.co.uk/bikes/electric_bikes

That colour is this years "in colour"

Unlimited data is a BIG ask.

Lots of interesting ideas here. I am very internet able, can set up web shops, understand cart software etc. Use eBay for business and personal accounts. Like everyone though looking for something that has not been done is the real task ahead.

Yep, I could imagine it being difficult if CCing But also no different to having buy to let property and living far away from it? If you have responsibility you have responsibility like anything in life.. so anyone on this forum currently involved in buy to let while CCing?

Sounds like a good plan.. Good luck to you
