No we haven't THANKS for the link, we'll have a look into that.

Our biggest worry is with her epilepsy, we could be wrong but we feel that with a narrow boat holiday, we could be stuck in the middle of knowhere with no mobile coverage & no access for an ambulance.

She has severe & complex epilepsy so we always need to be able to call an ambulance to get her to hospital in an emergency, We had to call ambulance out on our last camping trip at 1.30 in the morning to take her to hospital.

I can understand your dilemma. It’s a worry for anyone, but with careful planning, you should be able to pick overnight mooring sites that are close to road bridges, and if you take a GPS tracker, (the sort they use on expeditions) you’ll always have a precise position to give the emergency services. Pearsons canal guides and Nicholson maps are very detailed. Maybe a day trip with Lyneal Trust could be useful taster trip.

It’s been a long time time in the planning and we can’t wait. In case of any confusion, I won’t be fitting it out or anything, it’s being built up in Liverpool. Already got next years jaunt planned, 3 weeks from Derby to around Ellesmere in Shropshire. It’s going to be called Top Cat owing to the fact that we will have 4 cats onboard
