Is that how much it cost to hire a narrowboat for a week?

Having just checked, it seems to have come down a bit. I paid £1,600 to hire this www.abcboathire.com/our-boats/2-5-berth/alvechurch-heron for a week in 2014 but this year a week in August is £1,259. I guess they are struggling to get them out at the moment.

I've had the fire alight every morning. Partly as a territorial claim procedure and also for burning the shit.

Works a treat. I won't go into details but all you need is a wok type cooking pot full of ash, coil one in and decant to the fire using a bent soup ladle. Fire needs to be hot.
