What progress!
Sunday, 30 May 2010 15:03
Time for review where we have been
Thanks to Water Explorer and "Navvygator" we are able to log and review our journeys. The map below shows the inland waterways and canals we have cruised since narrowboat Epiphany was launched on October 31st 2006.
We became "continuous cruisers" at the end of August 2007, starting from Pewsey on the Kennet and Avon Canal. We have done a lot of cruising since, but, as you can see from the map, we have plenty more to do!
