i looked into this for my 21st on the norfolk broads mate

was £500 for 14 berth boat for a long weekend

problem was theres a 2k deposit on them!

So driving while pissed up isnt an option!

Would be good fun though as theres heaps of waterside pubs

Ive done this a couple of times.....me and the ex boss used to run the inland waterways association festivals.

TBH the boating itself is pretty boring. Chugging along at 4mph and waiting for anglers to get their lines out is a bit tedious.

The locks are fun, esp the really deep ones and they aren't that hard work.

Best bet is to plan a route with as many pubs as possible....throw in a day with a good run on the boat, trying to work in some long tunnels too

I must confess, I stole the Pun from Alan Partridge, the episode where he does the video for Hamiltons water breaks!
