Boating holidays

[Zippy]

I love tootling around the canals but there is something about it that brings out the Captain Bligh in the most mild-mannered of people. I don't mind the locks.

what age are the rug-rats? a boating holiday where they can join in is brilliant, if they're toddly little things that require constant attention it could just add an extra layer of traps (lock them inside with a jigsaw?)

One of my fave things though, heading off for a mini trip on the Thames tomorrow with no.1 son (17 so he can do all the work...), a couple of good friends, a fridge full of snacky crappy food and plenty of "chateau-box 2013"

"Le Boat" is probably the company to look for now (clicky)

Ta. Yes, locks might add to the fun I guess. Kids are grown up - youngest is 15, so more than able to do the work. Cheers for linky - hadn't found them.

Good thing about the Thames is, the locks are manned by professional lockkeepers, you just have to do as they tell you and they do the rest.

But if you want sunny weather then head to Turkey.

Remember Roger the Cabin Boy, Seaman Stains and the Poop Deck are not what they seems on first inspection
