Where we hired our Narrowboat from: www.abcboathire.com
Introduction:
Embark on a quintessential British adventure as we navigate the serene canals of the UK for the first time. Experience the challenges, unexpected help from locals, and breathtaking countryside views that make canal boating an unforgettable journey.
Challenges on the Water:
Our journey was anything but plain sailing initially, as we grappled with steering the boat, operating the locks, and even a potential crash! Discover how we overcame these challenges with some help from friendly locals, making unexpected friends along the way.
Magical Moments and Scenic Beauty:
From quaint British cottages to picturesque natural surroundings, our canal boat trip was replete with postcard-worthy scenes. One of the highlights was crossing our first aqueduct, an exhilarating experience coupled with stunning views, making us feel on top of the world.
Unexpected Delights in Wales:
Our adventure took an exciting turn as we crossed into Wales, culminating in traversing the longest tunnel in the canal system. The suspense of not knowing what was coming next added to the thrill, a feeling echoed in the echoing darkness of the tunnel.
Conquering the World's Tallest and Longest Aqueduct:
The pinnacle of our trip was crossing the world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Standing 160 feet above the ground, it was a test of nerve and skill, but the sense of achievement and the panoramic vistas were unparalleled.
Culinary Rewards and Family Bonding:
Post-adventure, we indulged in a traditional pub meal, relishing the local delicacy - sticky toffee pudding, a well-deserved treat after a day of hard work and exploration. The journey brought us closer as a family, with shared responsibilities and collective triumphs.
Conclusion:
Our canal boat adventure was more than just a trip; it was about stepping out of our comfort zone, learning new skills, and embracing every moment. It's an experience we highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and intimate way to explore the UK's rich heritage and scenic landscapes.

Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.
