My Dad's just bought a narrow boat so I'm going to show off a little knowledge. Great video and greats tips.

Andrew Golledge - 10 years ago

Good video covering the basics. Worth mentioning acceptable cruising times as well as people have been known to continue on past sunset (a definite no-no on the network). Looking forward to the next one.

Hello Dan, my name is Marco and live in one of the nine islands of the Azores (Portugal)
i really like your lifestyle in a narrowboat, because I live on an island as well i much like the sea and boats.
My desire was to find Someone who wants to pack, leave and share the lifestyle aboard a narrowboat in UK.
if you have a friend or someone you know that is looking also for a friend to share this way of life, please tell him about me because I pack up and go to the UK.
a hug
marco

Good vid Dan.

What country is this?

Ken Lynch - 10 years ago

A few more "How To's" and I might have to give it a try. Possible "Narrow Boating Tips" for the future besides mooring would be how to negotiate – the Chirk Tunnel and / or the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, when you cannot see the other side to see if another boat is oncoming.

Thumbs up Dan. And do I see the beginning of Spring there, certainly looks like it!
