About the book
This charming account takes readers beyond the popular television series to reveal the reality of life aboard a narrowboat—the challenges, the companionship, and the unexpected delights of travelling at four miles per hour. From the industrial heritage of northern England to peaceful rural backwaters, West shares entertaining anecdotes, practical wisdom, and a genuine passion for Britain's canal system. It's a warm, witty celebration of slow travel that will inspire anyone dreaming of casting off the mooring lines and experiencing the waterways for themselves.
