One Man and Three Boats
Actually much more than three boats, but One Man and 36 Boats (yes I counted them!) doesn’t really sound like the infamous Jerome K Jerome book that was set here. I’ve not done a boat river round-up for a while, but unusually I have been working along the river, given I haven’t headed for more…
