On a sunny autumn weekend in 2022, 7 Explorers and 4 Leaders embarked on a screen-free, Narrow Boat adventure along the Grand Union Canal. Armed with sturdy boots to operate the locks and the value of patience to enjoy the slow ambience of the canal, our Explorers all had a fantastic weekend.
Narrowboats may be narrow, but they’re also very long and have to be steered down skinny waterways. The Earlswood 2nd Reigate Explorer crew were well-coordinated to adjust the steering and throttle to navigate these. Blessed with fantastic weather, everyone was able to sit in the sun as they cruised along the canal. They also enjoyed cooking in tight living quarters and practising knot tying when mooring the boat.
