Cruising Britain’s Grand Union Canal…

Canal  Holidays can be great fun, as Marilyn and I found out recently. Narrowboats, like this one at Leighton Buzzard, Linslade, in Bedfordshire England, provide an insight into the pleasures of canal boating through the wonderful English countryside. Operating the many water gates or Locks is a bit of fun too, and you don’t have to be an expert on boating or Locks as there is always free advice on hand. Britain’s canal system was built by the Victorians for moving cargo from place to place and is still busy today with its leisure and houseboat traffic.
