We've got enough of that nonsense around here. Seems the canal bridges in Friesland are all stuck today: the tropical weather has made all the mechanisms stick and the attendants can't open them for passing traffic. ;D

Is it really that hot there? Bending steel.
Well all that has ruined my thread about narrowboating.
If we had two boats, we could play pirates!!!!! Come on you lot have some fun.

Don;t know about the gallant captain but I won't sail a narrow boat that far.

I had trouble with steel. Took my car to a garage and the mechanic had to move my seat back. Something happened, but I couldn't move the seat back to the position where I could reach the pedals. Cranked it eventually, but was driving for a while like an F1 driver, almost flat on my back! Sowwy, bout your boating fred Yoda

People are so serious now that they cannot let their hair down. Boating is such fun (as long as your not on a timetable) and is a good way of relaxing until the next lock. You see so much of the English countryside unchanged for hundreds of years, until you go under a motorway!!

I suppose it could be fun, Yoda, but everyone lets their hair down in their own way, and mine ain't boating. Camping is another no-no on my list, though we went camping in Corsica every year for about 10 years when my daughter was small.
I like letting my hair down in a nice, clean hotel with my own bathroom and good food, cooked and served by someone else. ;D

I know what you mean Rosie.
At the end of a good day a meal to finish off with. Fine wines and desserts and good company.
Then you wake up to, 'puts some more wood on the fire, me kettle wont boil'! Well there blows another dream.

If they can't pass traffic, did they pass water?? Prefer being on open water myself. Pull up the cloth engines and go - complete chill-outHowever, I am not averse to trying out something different. A narrowboat could be fun, and at least you have a donk to push you along at a relaxed pace. It could be interesting to see the 'other side' of towns and villages. Prospective details would be apreciated. OSD
