Nick's Wanderings

23/11/2024

Yes, I bought a narrowboat.

The aim over the coming years is to explore the waterways of the UK.

In this video, I get the keys to the boat and conduct an inventory to determine what I need to buy for my first cruise.

I also consider the challenges of taking a 57-foot boat on a 30-mile, 30-lock cruise to its new marina.

What could possibly go wrong?

I wasn't expecting to do this.... well, not for another couple of years... I've bought a narrowboat - The Grey Wagtail.In this video, I travel to the marina ...

Long time, no posts, but that is because I have not been doing much wandering.

This is breaking news: I have bought a narrowboat, and in the coming years, I plan to wander the UK's waterways.

Along the way, I will take photos, write posts and record videos. And my journey starts here.

A summary of my first video.... I'll post a link to the full video later.
