July 29th 2011 Visit to the I.W.A. festival

Today we went to the I.W.A  festival at Shobnall Fields Burton on Trent .Very good it was too. We had a good look around the narrow boats on show and now have some  ideas for changes we hope to make to Shell Bell.  Tomorrow we leave for our trip down the Coventry Cana,l it should be interesting going through Burton as it is choc a bloc with boats at the festival. Hopefully we will post some pictures of the canals equivalant of the M25 tomorrow.We have spent our spare time cleaning and generally tidying up the boat, oh and of course captain Norwyn has done some fishing. A note for my good friend Andrew Lawrence, Ben is working on the tracking add -on to the blog so hopefully soon it will be easy to work out where we are.
