What is a canal holiday like?
In a word, relaxing. If you take off your watch time will become meaningless. The boats are easy to handle and the locks, whilst requiring some physical exertion, are simple to get to grips with. You will always find someone to lend you a hand or to give you a bit of friendly advice. In fact the one thing that may surprise you is the camaraderie that you will find amongst fellow boaters. If you live in a city you will be pleasantly surprised by the number of people who have a chat at the locks or say a simple ‘good morning’ as they pass by.
