  1. I'm annoyed i didn't take photos from all angles now!
  2. They won't be ON the towpaths for long! ?‍♀️?
  3. I was thinking the boating season lasts 11 months a year, 1st Sept - 31st July ?
  4. Is it just me or are some of these new signs a bit silly and pointless.....
  5. Agreed, unfortunately my crew don't like out and back trips as they feel they are heading home from the holiday when we wind. Personally I just love being on the water and want to cover the entire network!
  6. Thanks JP, Yes we've done the black country too, forgot to mention that one! and a fair bit round the BCN still a fair bit of the network I'm yet to colour in on my map though! Problem with the BCN is the hire companies get a bit tetchy with having their boats moored round there unless you're in Gas St! Remember having a joke with one boat yard when I remarked that I was fully aware of their "Pink Map of Death" showing where you shouldn't moor!
  7. Thanks Arbutus, I think it might be Shire again, and will have to cut down on the crew, I do find their website confusing though, may have to call them and see what they can do ? PS thanks for the link to the Foxes, I do enjoy their videos!
  8. Good suggestion, thank you. I like the idea of Scotland - especially the Falkirk wheel! but again i think this will be an out and back, or do they do one way hire up there? Irish waterways I don't know much about, do they have a canal network or is it river waterways?
  9. I hadn't to be honest, thanks for that I''ll look in to them Shire Cruisers are a good company, we did the Hudds with them, Rochdale might be a good call
  10. As a regular hire boater always holidaying for a week in late May we (crew of between 5 and 8 ) have done various routes over the many years, the crew don't like out and back trips as it covers old ground, but I'm struggling to find a route for next year. We've done all the major 1 week rings (4 counties, cheshire , stourport, avon, warwickshire, we've also done the llangollen, K&A and Huddersfield Broad & Narrow. Can anyone suggest a good ring that I may have missed, or a oneway trip (most boat companies don't offer 1 way trips)? I would like to do the leicester ring/east midlands circuit or south of England circuit but we're limited to one week. Any suggestions will be greatly received (especially if you have done it and can recommend a hire base) and I realise I ask a tall order!
  11. My nearest canal is the Llangollen, but here in Wales we're still restricted to 5 miles so can't get there ?
  12. I feel your pain, we have a yearly holiday the same week in May every year (and sometimes a sneeky second holiday later in the year) and have been for around 12 years also. Unfortunately I had to let my crew go without me last year due to work constraints and then the virus this year... It's now been over 2 years since I've been on the cut and getting severly land-sick! Thank goodness for youtube, I've been driving my partner mad with all the vloggers! ?? Next May can't come soon enough and I'm considering an Autumn cruise, if my partner can get time off from her work, for just the two of us...
