There are places to more or any good clear banking.If there is any danger it's falling in the locks when filling. Hope that answers your questions. Thanks for your comments.

I told Steve I was fascinated by the canals and the fact that you're traveling on them. He said you would appreciate a few questions so I hope you don't mind! Is narrowboating very popular? would you liken it to RV'ing in America? (or is that a bad comparison?) Are there any fees to use the canals/locks? where do you park the boat at night? And what are the dangers (if any) of the waterways? Perhaps you can answer these over time on the blog of which I look forward to readin! Thanks and happy travels!
