It discusses the physics of narrowboating and the situations in which capsize can occur.
I sit here in USA vicariously enjoying the daily doings on this site. The Members' joking here is not wasted on me! Have a great day all! Wish I could be there>

We are considering a family holiday to start at the Falkirk Wheel. Can anyone comment on this route ? With only fifteen locks and the promise of less crowding during the summer, I'm thinking it may be preferable to the popular southern routes. What abourt canal side pubs, water points and pumpouts?
Thank you,
Bill
An enlightening comment, Post Code.Thanks. This pretty much answers my original question. Living aboard alone I would like to know there are stops along the way to socialize, play a game of cribbage, make gurneys at the barmaid..
BTW please...what is the "honeypot"?
Hello Mac,
Google Earth is a fabulous thing. I took a virtual trip down the L&L with the scroll arrows on my keyboard. Went through Bingley Locks without breaking a sweat!
The Yorkshire area looks interesting. What is it like to winter over there?

Thanks, Everyone for your comments. This forum and its member links are a wealth of information. I hope I meet some of you next year when I hire for a week or two. No need to give me a wide berth. I am an experienced boatman. But to be safe you better give me one toot and stay to the right!
Take care, All
Bill
Hey All!
May I ask for some feedback regarding the increased popularity of holiday travel on the canals? I'm entertaining the thought of continuous cruising (Retirement) in a narrowboat. In perusing the forums and online magazines I'm getting the impression that life on the canals may not be as quiet and uncluttered as I'd imagined (hoped).
Thank you
