点评:Initially daunted at the thought of being in charge of one of these boats, we but the bullet and booked a week's trip. The training gained from the marina to and through the first lock set us up perfectly to gaining confidence as the week went on. Cruising down the canal was so peaceful and relaxing. We got into the swing with locks even helping other canal users along the way. Some amazing rural mooring stops made us feel detached from outside world adding to the experience and relaxation. Phone reception spotty in areas however this lead to us putting phones down and spending time talking, telling stories and playing board games. There is a TV on board but we only used it to watch the end of Paralympics (at beginning of trip). The on board radio for music much more preferred.
Our dogs were not great fans to begin with but did settle as the week went on. Some great walks along the canal and many dog friendly pubs to choose from.
Would highly recommend giving it a go, we meet many people saying they would love to but worried about controlling and going through the locks. Don't worry, the training you get is comprehensive and you gain confidence as you go. Amazing experience and thankyou for trusting us with your canal boat.

我们的狗一开始并不喜欢,但随着一周的过去,它们也适应了。沿着运河有一些很棒的散步路线,还有许多对狗友好的酒吧可供选择。
强烈建议尝试一下,我们遇到很多人说他们很想尝试,但担心控制和通过船闸。别担心,您接受的培训很全面,而且您会在学习过程中逐渐获得信心。非常棒的体验,感谢您信任我们,让我们为您服务。
