On the road again. Ever wanted to get away from the rat race, to travel down an open road with the whole of the UK and Europe at your feet? Kay and Stu who at the twilight of their years have decided to sell up their lovely home of thirty two years and do just that. Brave, Foolish, or just a severe case of midlife crisis. The only way to find out is to travel along with us as we depart on what for us is going to be a big adventure as we go touring in a huge American Recreational Vehicle. The electricity ...

Skip to main content. Skip to primary sidebar. Skip to secondary sidebar. A bit like catching up with The Archers on a Sunday, I’ll try to include the edited highlights.

Dave and Ann-Maries life aboard NB Legend. Sunday, 15 February 2015. Grand Union canal. North Oxford Canal. Welsh road to Newbold on Avon. Three years ago, when we were at Welsh Road locks for the first time, we only stayed for a couple of nights, which was a shame as it’s such a nice mooring. This time we were there for a fortnight. After our allotted time we reluctantly cast off and made our way up Bascote locks (2 singles and a staircase). Car outside boat window; always a Good Thing. Another stationa...
