Don't do what we did, Warwick ring with Hatton as first locks....

Carefree Cruising boat share company get all their boats from Elton Moss so that'll explain that.... Happy with ours....

Will be interesting see what it sells for - we'll never know though.... As this was built to specification it will be interesting to see what they change on their next boat as one or more things must be 'improvable' on what they have?

Well we went and had a wonder about, lots of stalls on the main field - mainly food/drink etc. We only saw one trading boat - Jam Butty! - lots of narrowboats moored with bunting over them but they didn't really seem to have a purpose? We used the free car parking to walk into Worcester along the canal to get some lunch in the City. Found it really nice with tarmacked path all the way. The basin where it meets the Severn was lovely as was the stroll along the Severn itself. Lovely sunny day out, although mainly for what Worcester itself offered.... not sure we'll be going back to this one (in addition to Crick)..... We'd really like to go to a show with lots of trading boats as keen to support the community... which are the best ones as we've not been lucky so far?

IWA Festival of Water 2021 | Inland Waterways weather looks ok!

Depends where you are!

Don't people take their boats to London to sell? Lots of people drunk on alternative lifestyle programs will to pay over the odds? Buy in the North, sell in the South I always thought?

Good point...

Google maps really has come on and now caters for all....

I get this for a day after being on the boat... it soon subsides!

Maybe I have poor taste going on the general views held on here, but I think they are quite entertaining. The amount of research Colin does on the locations/history they are visiting is way beyond anything on TV these days. The filming is good, photography is excellent and I think they are quite good at presenting their information - they do work hard for the money at least! I have no objections to sponsorship (mans gotta make a living!) and they are clear about any sponsorship, unlike so many other channels. I do object to videos where someone is sent a product free of charge (which they often do not mention), they then point out this isn't a paid promotion and its an independent review. They are vloggers who are always after content and the supplier knows it will be reviewed, and favourably. I've seen six videos of a the same product recently, maybe the new way of ultra targeted advertising?

Went on Sunday, stayed a few hours.... not as much as previous years nowhere near as many craft stalls etc... it was very well attended and queued in the car to get parked. Not sure we'll be visiting it again in the future...
