Our intrepid host, Russell (Steve Zazou) Gowlett, takes you all on an exciting journey back in time through the waterways of Cambridge, London and Brighton
The start of the voyage, looking angelic in Cambridge.
Cambridge Lock - the lock system is quite amazing, with the canals all hand dug, and up to 29 locks in a row, requiring a lot of strength and patience to get through, as I discovered while trying to open a lock for some friendly folk from Australia.
Views from the bridge, Jesus Green Lock, Cambridge.
Run down barges near the Waterman's Arms park, London. You can get a slightly better condition barge for about £68 000, and they keep their value well, you will be glad to know, so why not chip in for one and enjoy the life aquatic yourself?
