To those who are thinking about waterway travel I recommend the book "The Unlikely Voyage of Jack De Crow: A Mirror Odyssey from North Wales to the Black Sea".
Would also recommend "Travels by Narrowboat" available on Amazon Prime. The chug-chug of the diesel engine as John moves from one canal to another (with some sort of horrific/terrific can-based recipe thrown in every now and then) is great background TV to have on for that sort of occasion.
