  • A plastic canal boat

    Sean at Formation Plastics tells me about building the world’s first HDPE canal boat.

  • Reading to Bath on the Kennet & Avon
    100 locks, including the Caen Hill flight of 29 locks at Devizes, separate my departure port, the lovely Tingdene Thames and Kennet Marina in Reading, and my destination, the city of Bath on the river Avon. Join me on a journey down river and canal that was almost scuppered by a breakdown.

Bear with me as I slowly build a collection of boat trips onboard my own river cruiser "The Flyflower" and with the skippers of other vessels of all shapes and sizes.
