Amazing Experience

Wow, firstly I never knew you could put lifts in a canal boat, I wasn't sure how we got on an it made things so much easier. a toilet big enough for a wheelchair too, plus there is still plenty of space to move around. The crew were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble, they were such a good laugh and really made the day fun, they were a font of knowledge about the canal and the boats too. I really can't wait for a return trip.
