Assuming that is is solid wood, my guess is that it is birdseye maple.

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? Bill

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

Thanks for the reply! I'll be doing the four counties circle next year in an effort to convince my wife that life on a nb is not insanity!

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
