Over the past few years we've all become more aware of our well-being and our mental health, and a change of scenery is often all it takes to get us back on track. And a week on the inland waterways certainly helps you change scenery. Constantly, in fact.
I've just come back from a midweek break on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, on a boat I borrowed from the nice people at Silsden Boats.
Now part of the Anglo Welsh group, this firm still has a family-run feel about it, and the boats are beautiful. Our vessel for the week, Dan's Drum, was a 59ft narrowboat but Silsden Boats also offers a fleet of wide beam boats, which are, obviously, a lot more spacious, if a lot heavier and trickier to steer.
