I was out on the water yesterday with a canal trip on a narrowboat (Dandelion) belonging to The Baldwin Trust. They are a local charity who facilitate affordable trips on the waterways from a base at Barrow Upon Soar. Jane organised the trip for us and some friends and family, including several with various physical needs around sight and mobility. Helped by a top notch crew who went out of their way to help everyone have a chance to be involved and do things like steering or helping with locks, we had a fantastic trip, which took us up to Loughborough (only one gate shy of our back garden) and back.
