Travels by Narrowboat

In this the first episode of Travels by Narrowboat, Kevin takes a giant leap of faith as he leaves his previous 'life' behind and heads many miles towards his new home - a narrowboat called Aslan. Then having successfully purchased the boat and launched it, he embarks on his maiden voyage, along the Leicester Branch of the Grand Union Canal.

With their 'trial run' that was the Maiden Voyage out of the way, Kevin and Aslan now embark on their canal life 'proper'. Leaving Crick in Northamptonshire and heading south along the Leicester Branch of the Grand Union Canal, they are instantly faced with the challenging and haunted mile-long Crick Tunnel.

Leaving the Coventry Canal at Fradley Junction and joining the Trent & Mersey Canal, Kevin and Aslan head towards Rugely and an unexpected, yet tasty, discovery . . .
