Time for an update, did Standedge Tunnel today, thought it was awesome. I did bash the roof a few times, and the hull, but overall the chaperone said I'd done pretty well compared to average. I did go through at a fair old lick, it took about 1 hour 25 minutes, he reckoned the usual transit time is just under 2 hours. I thought it was fascinating how it changed all the way through, from lined sections, to concrete sprayed sections, to limestone caverns and then back again. Then I came down about 12 locks, and I'm moored in Uppermill, and I've just had a lovely walk to the beer shop across some stepping stones over the river, charming! Onwards and downwards tomorrow...

Very quick update, I've been back on my mooring a week, I've done a load of work on the boat but I'm starting to get bored now so I'm going off to Market Harborough next Tuesday with my boy and my Mum who are coming up on the train. I've been there before but it's a very pleasant and interesting cruise, I'll post some photos on the Facebook page if I get around to it.

Don't forget to sharpen your knife.

Heed him. There are scrotes everywhere. I have done this trip before and opportunities for psychopathic blood-soaked knife frenzies are alas, somewhat limited in the rather bucolic Leicestershire countryside. I was planning on going down to London afterwards where there would be far better pickings but unfortunately I think I may have to go back to work for a few weeks, although there are of course always prostitutes to dispose of in lay-bys in rolled up carpets I suppose.

You must be missing the adrenaline rush of the Great North.

I was down by your mooring today, or at least where I thought you moored. I was going to say hello and see if you tried to stab me, but didn't spot your boat.

I'm about half a mile west of Rose Narrowboats. You would have been welcome to have stopped by for a coffee/ frenzied knife attack.

I regularly giggle about the fact Mrs Tabby's boat is named after a potato.
I'd have expected something more aggressive.

I thought you were right by Rose Narrowboats.
