Hello Peggleg. I'm pleased you enjoyed the trip :-). I do have a Fred Dibnah vid
somewhere about canals in xvid I can post if you are interested?
A British celeb did a series last year called "Barging around Britain" but that
was posted in MKV format. He got villified by the boating community for calling
his narrow boat a "barge" though. Sacrilege to us (X in my case) narrow boat
owners.
Catch you later,
RIB.
