Our 2015 season has begun and we have had 2 families on board. The first joined us at Stoke Bruerne where we cruised to Linslade. Three of them where Italian and one Japanese – all thoroughly enjoyed their time aboard.

Our current guests are British and have 2 young children, aged 8 and 4. We are cruising from Linslade to Berkhamsted. The weather has been outstanding for this trip, recording 22 degrees at the front of the boat yesterday.
We have seen an abundance of wildlife as ever – heron, robins, grebes, frogs etc
Our guests visited Bletchley Park where the code-breaking was done in WW2 and the College Lake Wildlife Centre at Bulbourne today.

We have also seen the CRT grass cutting team who we quite often meet along the canal, keeping our towpaths clear. As ever they are very chatty and helpful at locks – especially when they want you out of the way so they can get on with their work!
