Strolling down the top two locks of the Atherstone Flight of the Coventry Canal in narrowboat Golden Hind on a bright but as yet cool late September morning.Fear not dear reader for it warmed up nicely to be a perfect day. Who says global warming is bad news?

Don't be alarmed by the apparent lock twatting, none was serious and besides lock keeper Tony Ward MBE was on hand so featherlight was the word.

Golden Hind is one of the Anglo Welsh "Gold Class" narrowboats and very good she is too. A 67 foot long semi trad, four berths (2 double - 2 single) great galley and four wonderful reclining leather armchairs in the saloon.

  • Not sure about the tax element. Most caravan parks close for one month a year, so that people living there are exempt from council tax - would you have to move off your boat for a month to similarly qualify I'm not sure??

  • looks great i want to buy one of these boats are they expensive to run and do you pay government taxes
