点评:We booked with Castle Narrowboats specifically because they had electric boats. I was a little concerned about running down the batteries but the lowest they were got was still over 60%. Such a wonderful trip! Early in April not all of the trees were filled out, which made for great views. Everything we could possibly need on the boat and we used it all: fridge, microwave, broiler, oven, stovetop, kettle. Travel was slow enough that we could hop off the boat and go for a brisk walk along the tow path to be picked up later on when the boat caught up. We would definitely recommend heading northwest from the boat pick-up point; that's where all the locks, lifting bridges and the tunnel are. Heading southeast, it's much more built-up, some road noise, lots of privately-owned narrowboats parked along the sides. We were happy to have younger legs to help with the locks, etc. but really we could have managed it all on our own. The scenery was fantastic. Lots of small communities so we could always stock up on groceries (and cider! So much local cider and so good!) Highly recommend the trip and Castle Narrowboats.
翻译:我们预订了Castle Narrowboats,因为他们有电动船。我有点担心电池会耗尽,但他们最低的电量也超过了60%。真是一次美妙的旅行!四月初,树还没长满,景色优美。船上有我们需要的一切:冰箱、微波炉、烤架、烤箱、炉灶、水壶,我们全都用上了。船速很慢,我们可以下船,沿着拖船道快步走一走,等船追上来的时候再来接我们。我们强烈推荐从上船点往西北方向走;那里有所有的船闸、升降桥和隧道。往东南方向走,那里建筑密集,有一些道路噪音,两旁停放着许多私人窄船。我们很高兴有年轻的朋友帮忙过船闸等等,但真的,我们自己就能搞定一切。风景美极了。这里有很多小社区,所以我们总是可以买到杂货(还有苹果酒!这么多当地的苹果酒,真好喝!)强烈推荐这次旅行和 Castle Narrowboats。
