"A great day (shame about the weather!). We all enjoyed it enormously nonetheless. An excellent way to celebrate a birthday. Captain was endlessly patient with crew aged 8, 6 and 3. Would all like to come again". "I thought it was fun steering the boat. I would like to do it again sometime."
Gran Prue (from Bingley) and Joseph (8, from Newcastle)
"What a wonderful relaxing trip, a change from the stresses of day-to-day life. Wonderful friendly hosts. Will definately come again and recommend to all our colleagues and friends."
S,J,D,M,C & C from Bradford.
"We had a lovely day, weather, hospitality - perfect. You had gone to a lot of trouble decorating the boat. We shall remember our trip for a long time and to finish off with a meal at the White Lion was great. Hope you have a good summer for trips, we shall tell our friends. Thank you very much for a memorable day."
C & P from Bingley.
"Lovely welcome by David. Everything you could wish for on board. Weather was fine (until 3.30!). We are waiting for our sailing certificate along with our naval pension!! Very enjoyable day - one to remember with all our friends. We would like to come again. Many thanks."
J, N and friends from Leeds
"What a way to celebrate one's 80th birthday - even though they did make me work all the locks. Lovely day, lovely weather, lovely people! A super relaxing afternoon - thanks"
D.K. from Pontefract with family from Halifax.
"Perfect for birthdays! The festive decorations and welcome breakfast were great. Lovely relaxing day. It was fun to have a go at steering, whether 4 or 59!"
Dr.R with K and family from Keighley and London
"From croissants to the cosy seating area to the magnificent English countryside - flora and fauna (mother ducks with chicks) and sweets (from the Dalesman Cafe). In spite of cold and rain "this was great mate!" Being crew made us understand the canal lifestyle"
K & H from Australia
"It was wonderful day. I loved it the moment we glimpsed the table through the window set with teacups and jams! Lizzie Jean is a darling little boat - cosy yet classy - especially when wearing Eau de Warm Croissant! I've wanted to go on a narrowboat for 30+ years - and I live in Marple! It takes a couple of Aussie mates to make my dream come true. Thanks to all. A day to remember."
Lynne
"It was a very fun journey and something none of my friends would have ever done. I really enjoyed going to Gargrave stepping stones and getting sweets."
