You don't have to be an #electric boater to get something out of #Electrika. Thinking about adding #solar? Upgrading your #batteries? Or maybe just looking for some #offgridliving ideas? Come along and see what's possible! electrika.uk #boatshow #boatswithtech #narrowboat #offgrid #goinggreen

New video! In 2025, over a period of some months, two steam narrowboats, called Tixall and Emily Anne, had their boilers removed and their pipes taken out for replacement. This is the story of that epic job! youtu.be/KQUM2yABhqo

💔 Our compound was broken into last night. Locks cut, container forced, tools stolen. Police are informed—but we're gutted. These tools help volunteers restore the Lichfield Canal for everyone. Seen anything? Please get in touch.

I watch a lot of youtube travel vlogs to de-stress and for general enjoyment. These days my favorites are "Solo Travel Japan" featuring big boats (commercial ferries, with some trains!) And "Cruising the Cut" @cruisingthecut.bsky.social featuring small boats (narrow canal boats).
