A September voyage!

I have not seen such a ‘Hotel’ boat on our canals before and so this was quite a surprise. Seen on my local stretch of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal at Uppermill, on its way towards the long ‘Standedge’ canal tunnel in the village of Diggle (just the next village up). These locks are quit narrow and it was in the next lock up that we once saw a canal boat ‘high & dry’ and being rescued by a big crane in 2014. See last photo or PiP

Enjoy full screen.

Great place to walk on the canal Herb not much room for a hotel in a narrow boat.
Have a good day.

This is a great canal for us as it gives us around a 10 mile round walk in total on relativity dry and flat ground with nice peaceful views. As you say -a bit small as a hotel but a nice room perhaps. I wonder if a client just gets a room and use of the 'facilities' or they get the full hire of the boat including self drive?
