Narrowboat on the Avon & Kennet Canal
Why not take a day, or more, to see England at 2mph...! Totally relaxing, walk along the tow path, see the flora and fauna and enjoy lunch in a canal-side pub. Remember you are on a 250 year old canal - what was the high tec of its day - bridges, locks and aqueducts !
Kennet and Avon Canal cruise, 1999. Archive film 18039
Amateur home movie. On the Kennet and Avon Canal. Sunshine of a late afternoon in Spring. Man steering narrowboat. Line of moored residential narrowboats. Point of view from front of boat. Tarpaulin covered boat moored on canal, a residential narrowboat. Fine country house appears and disappears from view. Two skinheads at the tiller drink beer from cans of Foster's lager. One looks like the uncle of the other. They look very unwholesome. One laughs. Joggers on the towpath. The canal as the boat moves along. The countryside approaching City of Bath, West of England.

(Descripción en español a continuación ....)
During a family visit back to the UK in August 2012, we took the opportunity to visit the Grand Union Canal at Stoke Bruerne in Northamptonshire. I have always loved canals, having owned a small canal cruiser on the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal before moving to Spain, so it was wonderful to see all the roses and castles (boat decoration) again!
More information about the UK canal network can be found on the Canal and River Trust website:

Durante una visita de familia de vuelta al Reino Unido en agosto de 2012, tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar el Grand Union Canal en Stoke Bruerne en Northamptonshire. Siempre me han gustado los canales, después de haber poseído un pequeño barco en el canal de Brecon y Monmouthshire antes de trasladarse a España, por lo que era una maravilla para ver todas las rosas y los castillos (decoración de barco) nuevo!

Tardebigge Locks - going down (timelapse)
Going down the Tardebigge flight of 30 narrow locks on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal near Bromsgrove, May 2015,
English canal boats going though the locks
This lock is located in Hungerford, England about a hour from Heathrow airport. Many people live in these specially designed boats that travel thorough the narrow channels through England. Often the skipper of the boat will have to operate the lock themselves. In this case, there was help from a local townsperson.

ATHERSTONE FLIGHT (time-lapse)
A 2.4 mile cruise north along the Coventry Canal down the Atherstone Flight of 11 locks on a wonderfully sunny late September morning.
This flight is maintained by lockkeeper Tony Ward MBE and his team from British Waterways. What a great job they do and an excellent length they keep. Tony's cottage and his St Georges flag can be seen besides the Top Lock near the beginning of the video.
We were followed down the flight by nb Katie, an hotel boat of the AWAY4AWHILE fleet. For once Katie was NOT the fastest narrowboat on the cut! As you will see, this bit of the canal was quite busy for the time of year.
The movie comprises two and a half hours of raw, uncut video, simply strung together and compressed by 94% to nine minutes. The compression masks my crap movie making skills to the effect that if you blink you can't see the joins.
If you are a fan of the UK canal network then treat yourself to a look at Nick's Canal Planner:

In case PETA are watching no pigs or pineapples were harmed during the making of this movie.
