New Video: Day 2 - My First Solo Narrowboat Adventure — Challenges, Locks & Canal Life

Issue 4: What could possibly go wrong this time?

I have got a little behind in posting videos to the newsletter, so please bear with me as I catch up.

On day two of my transfer of the Grey Wagtail from the Whilton to the Croperdy Marina, I embarked on my very first solo narrowboat cruise. The journey was full of surprises, challenges, and unforgettable moments.

• Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
  Tackling locks solo for the first time (and maybe getting a little help along the way!).

• Cruising through the incredible Braunston Village, the heart of narrowboating in the UK?

• Navigating tricky turns, tight spaces, and a stunning stretch of the Grand Union Canal.

• Transitioning onto the Oxford Canal, where the scenery changes and the boating becomes more challenging.

This is just the second day of my three-day journey moving my narrowboat to its new home in Cropredy Marina — 30 miles, 30 locks
