Off grid on the Grand Union Canal
Angela Riches of H&N Magazine took a press trip on the Grand Union Canal
Setting off from our base on the Grand Union Canal at Napton in Warwickshire, Angela, Dave and their crew cruised to Hillmorton and back.
They did the journey to Hillmorton and back on a four-night mid-week break with Drifters.
She says: “From start to end, this journey took us gently (between one and four miles an hour), through gorgeous English countryside.”
Starting on the Grand Union Canal at Napton, they transferred onto the North Oxford Canal at Braunston.
Angela’s article describes the facilities on board their narrowboat for up to six people ‘Sienna’. She lists the pubs they visited, including The Admiral Nelson at Braunston and The Folly at Napton.
And she offers tips for beginners and says: “It’s been a long time since we were so completely off grid but this slow pace of life gave us a complete reset. We could have easily done another week!”
