Narrowboat Tales As with many things, it s the people, their stories and their experiences that can best describe life aboard a narrowboat. Join us in this programme as we meet a wealth of characters and personalities who are united in their love of days spent on the canal.Life on a narrowboat may be taken at a slower pace but it is never dull missing bridges, ghostly goings-on, undiscovered murders and more than a fair share of people falling overboard: these are the tales of life on the waterways!
A Guide to Buying and Owning a Narrowboat More people than ever are turning their backs on traditional ways of living and taking to the water as a choice of lifestyle. Buying and living aboard a narrowboat is one such choice, one that is proving an attractive way of living to thousands of people all over the country.This programme will look in detail at the differences between traditional and contemporary narrowboats and examine some of the basics one needs to consider before buying a boat. From construction and design to decoration, from types of mooring to maintenance and supplies, all aspects of owning a narrowboat are looked at, many in the company of people who really know, narrowboat owners themselves.
A Novice's Guide to Narrowboating Canals are part of our cultural heritage, but today, what was the commercial network of the industrial revolution, has become the leisure playground of boat-owners and holiday-makers who wish to take the time to discover the wealth and beauty of the canal system. A holiday on board a narrowboat is a perfect way to see what life afloat is all about. If setting off at the tiller of a 60-foot narrowboat is a little daunting, this programme is just the introduction you need as we look at how to handle a boat, the things to take care over and safety requirements, as well as navigation, planning and buying supplies.
