🚤We are exploring the UK's canals and rivers in our narrow boat home, Rambler.
🍂The journey takes us through beautiful autumn scenery.
⚓️We navigate through locks to pass through different sections of the canals.
🌲There are challenges along the way, such as leaves in the water and strong winds.
🌧We encounter changing weather conditions, including rain and overcast skies.
Why did you choose to explore the UK via canals and rivers?
—We love the peaceful and scenic environment of canals and rivers, and it allows us to explore different areas of the UK at a slower pace.
How do you navigate through locks?
—Navigating through locks requires us to operate the lock gates and fill or empty the lock chamber, allowing the boat to go either up or down the water level.
What challenges do you face when boating?
—Challenges we face include debris, shallow water, strong winds, and possible maintenance issues with the boat.
Can you travel in a narrow boat during bad weather?
—While it is possible to travel in a narrow boat during bad weather, it can be challenging and less enjoyable due to strong winds, rain, and reduced visibility.
How do you choose your stopping points?
—We choose our stopping points based on various factors, such as proximity to amenities, scenic surroundings, and the availability of mooring space.
