 Reviews:

"Taking to the Waterways is great.  I think the winning mixture of personal experiences and practical advice makes it an essential handbook for anyone going on the canals - and I know from my own times on the boats how true and accurate it is.  I can almost smell the cooking, the diesel, and dawn over the reeds. Lovely. "   Roger Harvey

 

"I've now finished Taking to the Waterways and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it.  A good read. It gave me a real insight to life in and out of a narrowboat...I laughed out loud at descriptions of people and it was interesting how you, as a person, came through with your wonderful attitude to events and daft people. It made me want to have a try at narrowboating even more than I did already."     Ruth Scott
