Planning your cruise in advance
Part of the fun of a boating holiday is planning your trip
and reading about where you are going and what there is to
see.
The Canal Companions have built up a cult following,
being prized as much for their entertainment value as for
their accuracy and information . Current editions are progressively
being printed by digital means, enabling them to maintain
their reputation as the most up to date inland waterway guides
available. Readily identified by their traditional 'signwritten'
covers, each Canal Companion contains: highly detailed 'two
inches to the mile' coloured mapping; informative and entertaining
route commentaries; itemised information on places to visit,
shopping, eating & drinking, industrial archaeology, boating
and walking facilities etc.
