Where to find us ...

Usually somewhere on the Inland Waterways of the UK, most often around the north west ...

Or sometimes visiting family and friends in New Zealand - though not in a narrowboat :-)

Check our location page for our latest adventure (assuming Barry has updated it! Otherwise send us an email to check ;-)
