Tricky subject......narrowboats

[Nauti Fox]

I have to confess, I came across a series on Amazon, travel by narrowboat, it's been around for a while so if you've seen it what do you think of it?
I thoroughly enjoy it, still on season 1 and I keep thinking "this should be boring", but it's not (at least for me and my partner).
Don't know why I enjoy it so much but the he just gets on with things and seems a genuine person.
Give it a go for a couple of episodes and see what you think.
To give you an idea...

Spent a week doing the Cheshire Ring, enjoyed every minute, did get told off for creating wash.

I did have a couple of narroboat holidays some years ago when the girls were young teens. We all enjoyed it .
However we decided it wasn't the sort of boating we really wanted . But can see the attraction.

For me the problem is when you are inside , the view is just the towpath

It’s All boating. It’s all good. Whichever way you like your boats it’s better than a land based holiday.

We did a canal holiday a while ago and enjoyed it. But we did find the lack of comfortable places to sit out on a traditional canal boat to be a downside

There has just been a series on bbc4 called Canal Boat Diaries by Robbie Cummin which was enjoyable.
Beautiful scenery up North.

Some types of boat have hardly any view out. Yachts for example.

Roy's idea of foreplay is to wash and polish his boat!

Use have a time share, one week per year on a narrow boat and love it
Plan is to sell our F36, one day, and bigger off around the network for the first year or two of our retirement
Got around ten years to wait though!
Have to agree about the lack of somewhere comfort to sit apart from the bed and if you don't like the view of the tow path look out the other side!
