Description
Those who add venture afloat must be a little of a navigator and seaman, a little of a shipwright, a little of an mechanic and a do-it-yourself enthusiast. This applies especially to those who sail the fascinating network of the waterways covering Britain.
Britain has over 3000 miles of these navigable inland waterways, and the mileage is increasing steadily every year, thanks largely to the volunteers of the Inland Waterways Association and kindred movements. The inland waterways extend from great industrial towns and reach out into the heart of the country where they are now part of the landscape. Their tranquil waters in idyllic surroundings provide an ideal holiday afloat with fishing, camping, nature watching and good companionship
