Travels by Narrowboat

The Middlewich Branch - A Christmas Special
The 'excitement' of the Llangollen Canal is a receding memory, as Kevin and Aslan commence their next watery excursion, with a Christmas Special - the 10 mile Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal. On the way, Kevin cooks his favorite meal, answers viewer's questions, visits a fireworks display, and reveals what his travels by narrow boat has cost so far. Just don't mention Christmas.

Later, the icy frozen canal makes progress difficult, as the 'time trial' of the Bridgewater Canal beckons.

A Man For All Seasons
The ice of the Bridgewater Canal continues to thicken, slowing Kevin and Aslan's progress as they head towards Thorn Marine and a much needed diesel stop. A couple of days later, Kevin awakes to a 'pea-souper', not dissimilar to a scene from 'The Fog'.

The Grapes Of Wrath
The fog, ice and sub-zero temperatures of the Bridgewater Canal, are all the encouragement Kevin requires for a 'Keith Floyd inspired' evening of hearty peasant food - helped along no doubt, by an uncharacteristic yet healthy 'glug' of Claret.

Strange Light In The Sky
The sun is out, the sky is blue and there's just a smattering of clouds to spoil the view, but . . . there's always one rotten egg guaranteed to tarnish what promises an enjoyable (if chilly), day's cruising. Thankfully as darkness descends, Kevin arrives at what he's certain will be a quiet spot to spend the night.

The Path of the Righteous Man
A petty crime (and very noisy road) is all the impetus Kevin needs to get moving, in the final episode of Season Three. Between himself and his goal of Burscough town, lay just 10 miles of canal, 6 locks and 4 swing bridges. What could possibly go wrong ?
