Joe takes the helm of Freyja soon after leaving Church Minshull, this was the only time he steered Freyja, preferring Christina the butty. On the right is Dave (aka Dinky) of bayphotos.co.uk |
Joe found a soulmate in The Anchor in Hartshill, this dog, with matching whiskers, took a big shine to him! |
Joe ponders the meaning of life while he waits for the lock to fill, Freyja waits patiently to hook back up. |
Joe puts on his schoolteacher's hat for a group of Midlands schoolkids |
'Dinky' Dave takes over while I rustled up a bit of brekkie. |
Broken down again, raw water pump fell off, fuel blocked and caused the engine to shake and break the exhaust, Red Bull Boatyard kindly helped us to get going again. |

The teachers could not believe their luck, wanting to show pupils how canalboats were used as transport, we turned up at the same time, with a pair. |
Broken down, again, and moored in the rough |
Passing steam narrowboat 'Laplander' |
