Glancing Back | First 100 Days Aboard the Nutshell | The Adventure Continues | Part 2.
BONUS UNSEEN FOOTAGE. Welcome to the second and final part of our two part mini series which reflects on our first 100 days aboard our narrowboat, Nutshell. We’ve had a ball traveling on the UK waterways and canals, finding out about the history and meeting new people. We check out Stoke Bruerne, arguably one of the prettiest canal side villages and experience a skittles’ tournament and good curry with the Northampton locals.
A visit to the ‘pub’ at the lovely Gideon narrowboat, resulted in a 10/10 score, which is very rare indeed.
Down the Northampton flight. The 100th day of this great adventure saw us at the Whiston Lock.
See you all next week when we split ourselves in two and bring you vlogs from both sides of the globe. Magnus will be sharing his time at work as an adventure tour guide and Wendy will be keeping Nutshell warm and cosy.
Until then…
Pubs visited:
The Boat Inn, Stoke Bruerne
Royal India formerly The Boat
The Walnut Tree, Blisworth
Narrowboat Gideon
The Brittania
