It's all about team work in our latest vlog...
...And a shout out to the @CanalRiverTrust
Volunteers.

Hi @CanalRiverTrust. Your online waterways map doesn't appear able to find well-known canal locations such as Kingswood Junction, instead returning nearby roads called "Junction."

Is the search function querying the canal database, or just a generic Mapbox address search?

@MarkLastMiner Irish curry sauce is a belter! One of the chippies in Warwick sells it and I used to order it every time 👍

As liveaboards, we're often surprised by how many children walk past our boat and have no idea that narrowboats can be people's homes.

With so much discussion about the future funding of our waterways, could @CanalRiverTrust do more to engage families & children on the towpath?

Many boaters would happily act as canal ambassadors.

A simple leaflet about boat life, wildlife and canal history, plus an "I've discovered Britain's canals!" sticker for children, could help inspire the next generation of waterway supporters.

We're now officially Grandparents, albeit a month earlier than planned!

Little Florence Diasy Livingstone has arrived in our lives. ❤️❤️

Mum & baby doing well -
Grandparents emotional and totally besotted 😍

How are you all coping in the heat?

It's so hot here in Warwickshire-on-Sea, even the ice cream van has melted 🥵🤣

Never mind Crick, all the action is right here!
This was almost a head on collision because neither boater (both Anglo Welsh) used their horn.

Ironically, they publish this for their customers...👇

@AngloWelsh You might want to contact the party on one of your boats currently moored on the spillway opposite the Fleur de Lys that they might not make it back to your Wooton Wawen base in time.

Word has it the lock will be closed for at least a week.

@tidyboiler @nb_Snowgoose @stephenbarker @CRTWestMidlands @NABO_Official @CRTBoating Still waiting for a published list and map of all boaters facilities.

It's the only way to:
A) monitor what facilities are available
B) enables boaters to plan in advance
C) demonstrates that CRT are adhering to their Policy Statement -

Dear @CanalRiverTrust
I'm assuming wearing a helmet whilst cycling through tricky terrain is part of H&S is it not?
Your spotter could do himself a nasty injury cycling over an uneven towpath with low hanging branches...
