SupraStar 3000 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just got home after hiring a canal barge for my dads 60th birthday. I really enjoyed it Sooooo relaxing and easy to unwind. Even the lock gates were fun. Funny though,.. as we cruised along the back of peoples gardens I spotted a silver Supra with a Top secret bumper being worked on my a group of lads. It was in mountsorrel, Anyone here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 One of my clients was moving from a house into a barge the other day. She said it was so nice to live so freely. I'm not sure myself but I've always wanted to have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 look at it this way.. - great fun - no taxi's - river goes from pup to pup - you don't need accommodation - you can't get done for drinking and driving. best part is reenacting apocalypse now.

Charlotte Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 And safe too apparently. My friend and her family used to go on a barge every year. Her parents used to 'park up' go to the pub (with barge in sight) and leave her and her brother to sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Canal drifting is great. You can get as pissed as you like and still drive. Ideally you need to be about 50 and have a mangey cross bread dog and a walking stick carved in a humourous shape to do it properly though. (..and don't forget your pack a mac!)
