Little boat moored opposite a good pub
The previous two trips were overseas, with plastic boats, and we felt a need to reconnect with the world of proper steel boats and steering at the back. A day boat is a short, simple narrowboat, with an open-sided cabin, loo and cooking facilities. In the canal pecking order, day hire boats come lowest. You are assumed to be incompetent, even if proven otherwise. It's amusing to watch. Total 14 miles and no locks.
