Waterways: The Grand Union from Braunston to Birmingham is a fascinating trunk route of a canal - with the awe-inspiring locks of Hatton, the lovely wooded approach to Leamington and Warwick, and dare we say it, some cracking pubs. Our full eight-page pull-out guide tells you more. We also explore the waterways of Serbia, and look at the best way to have a towpath garden! Boats and Boating: We test two wide-beam boats this month - a no-nonsense 'wide-beam narrowboat' for just over £100,000, and a luxury Dutch barge for several times that. There's no shortage of practical advice with tips for smoother cruising, a DIY dog-box construction project, and advice on fitting a new gearbox. Plus our regular Boats & Pieces and Boating Forum columns with the latest news and advice. History: How efficient is your lock working? We'll bet it's not half as slick as the flyboats of the 19th century - a full feature explains more. Our Grand Union theme continues with a selection of archive photos from the carrying age. And we look at how polite Victorian society viewed the filthy tunnel leggers. £3.50 from newsagents | Subscribe |
