Welcome to the inland waterways!
Hello! My name’s David Johns. In 2015, I quit my job in local television news, sold my house and went to live on a narrowboat, cruising around the canals of England. I documented my time aboard in video and now make films about canal life. On this website I have the complete collection of those videos plus pages of information to help you in your canal journey whether for holiday or living aboard. Welcome along!

Here’s part 2 of my jaunt to the countryside outside Braunston where I re-fixed my taff rail seats to the boat, spent a pleasant afternoon napping and reading, then headed back in a very strong breeze that caused me problems. - Vlog 414: Attack of the killer geese
I took my narrowboat into the countryside for a quiet night bobbing about on the waterways but a huge flock of noisy geese thought I needed waking up..!
