Mrs Reman did this more than once, years ago.
"It's a nice trip, but quite busy with locks and traffic at peak times"
Thinks that a week would be hard work, unless your good at using all the daylight and practiced at it"
When are you going?

"That will be fine"
You might even have time to see a bit of the Ashby canal (the bit up to Snarestone (no locks))
We'll be in the Lime Kilns Inn by the"s" on the end of 1-1/2 hrs to the right of Marston.

we looked into this a couple of years ago, as we and our m8's are caravaner's ,

But at a grand a week,for four adults, plus food, eating out etc, plus fuel. plus locks etc worked out VERY expensive

Also, my work colleague who lives in Cambridge, booked a cheapy one for 4 adults and 3 kids in Norfolk area last year

total bill was £2200 ish, for one week

Now for that money, the Maldives, is CHEAP!!!

That's £314 per person
Not bad

Don't be put off by the naysayers.

Sure you can get 2 weeks in tossa de mar plus guaranteed sunshine
But it is better to do a holiday you want and whinge about it later
than regret not doing it when you had the opportunity.

There should be some nice pubs along the route.
