About the Book:  

‘There is something elusive and compelling about the waterways that urges you back and back again.’ 

David Bolton and Lynda Rolfe decided to throw up their jobs in central London and explore the rest of England in a seventy-foot narrowboat called Frederick, traditional in style yet luxuriously equipped. 

From the Nene at Peterborough to the Mersey at Ellesmere Port and into the deep south-west at Gloucester and Sharpness, they spent eighteen months covering the inland waterways, mooring near beautiful Oxford colleges and grimy city docks. We share the acquaintance of the many different people they met, including those who still remember life on the old working boats; the unique view of the landscape, townscape and wildlife; the problems of breakdown and the pleasures of life on the water.
