Lots of folk ask me about hiring a narrowboat for a holiday so I thought I'd make a video about it. By coincidence, friends and fellow YouTubers Greg & Lou Virgoe, and John & Mandy, had decided to book a week's hire their first time on a narrowboat so I tagged along to document the hiring handover.

Greg & Lou's video:    • We Swap Vanlife for Boatlife  
John & Mandy's video:    • From VANLIFE to BOATLIFE  Vlog 80  

and their channels:
   / gregvirgoe  
   / johnmandy  

Greg booked the hire with ABC Boat Hire https://www.abcboathire.com/

Note: this video is not an advertisement for ABC and I received no payment or benefit from them for making it (other than their permission to film); I pointed Greg in their direction when he asked me about hiring but he sorted the holiday out.
