Basically i was on "holiday" for the least week if thats what you can call it...

It was a holiday doing the Stockport Ring up near Birmingham in longboats. The weather was crappy and wet, and every night after the central heating in the boat went off, the entire boat turned into one long 2 tone icicle. I did learn one thing however; I cant drive boats.... at all. They are very odd, My train of thought when i was driving the damn thing was, ooooh la di-da! look at the nice birdies.... oh shit there is the side of the canal right in front of me! Turn! Turn? Why isn't it Turning!!!!!! oh now its turning! great! now to centralize it.... why is it still turning? damn there is other bank! -Crash-

so umm not the best at the whole boat driving lark..... Its an interesting experience i'll tell you that... a slow experience... as the boats will only do basically .... 5 MPS, walking speed or maybe slightly slower. It took us a week to do the whole 107 mile ring which had ALOT of locks in it, including the tallest lock it britain.... oooooh the excitement mounts U_U
