Messing about in boats? Us? Oh hell yes! Not for a few weeks yet, but it seems we’re all off on holidays this summer. Thanks to the creative genius that is Vince it seems there’ll be a few of us heading North to take command of a vessel for the weekend (yes, that one in the picture). The one burning question, is considering how many pubs are on the route, how the hell are we going to get through the 40 odd locks on it!
