100_Lingering Longa on the Ashby Canal

Описание: Lingering Longer on the Ashby

We stayed at our mooring at Turn Bridge Aqueduct for a few days and visited the Battlefield Line, which is sadly closed at the moment. On leaving we take a lovely cruise through open countryside down to Bosworth Marina where we catch up with some new found friends. Here we stay for a few days before heading south, we pass the Battle of Bosworth site, where in 1485 King Richard III lost his life to Henry Tudor who became the first monarch of the Tudor Dynasty making it one of the defining moments of English history. We try to moor here but the canal was too shallow so we continue our cruise, finally mooring between bridges 32 and 31 behind our now good friends on NB Lingalonga.

We are Patrick and Eileen. In 2018 we decided to quit the rat race by giving up our jobs and selling our home to buy a narrowboat to continuously cruise the inland waterways of the UK. We bought a 57 foot Bickerstaffe boat which we named Dunworkin.

This is a record of our journey, Our Narrowboat Quest to explore the navigable waterways of England and Wales, to continuously cruise throughout the year. Join us as we experience all seasons, the wonders of our beautiful countryside, towns, villages and cities and even our industrial heritage, nowadays an ironic contrast to its raison d'être.
