...from Tod to Trevor,
Norbury to Nafford,
Slattocks to Slapton...
Folk Stories, Traveller's Tales and one dodgy Singalong
In July 2007, Debs wrote the following words in her shiny new blog:
Here's a fact: I know bugger all about boats. Al and me have decided to move onto one for a bit anyway, though."
Six months spent steering the narrowboat Little More from Doncaster to Watford the long way round**, via many of the pubs, market towns and branches of Lidl the canals of the Western UK has to offer gives you a few stories. It shows you a fair bit of the country you call home, too. From the traditional tale of Wild Edric to a pub in Slapton via night fishing near Tiddle Widdle Island...
...The Wrekin Cycle will take you on a rip-roaring, singsonging ride past the folklore and outlaws of Britain's waterways.
