Welcome to Roger And Maureen Yorke’s Sailing Home
This website relates the story of Nb. Ramyshome's adventures along the canals and rivers of England and Wales. 2012 will be part three of our second adventure and we aim to say more about the canals and the landscape that incorporates them this time around. In 2011 we explored the canals of the North West, going to Liverpool via the new Link and crossing the Ribble Estuary to the Lancaster Canal. In 2012 we are heading for Crick Boat Show via the Trent & Mersey, Coventry and Oxford Canals as far as Braunston. After that we hope to cruise across the Midlands, taking in the restored Droitwich Canal before returning to Kegworth on the River Soar where Ramyshome will get a new coat of paint.

The original crew including Snowy |
In 2005 we set out on our first big adventure circumnavigating England, and a little of Wales, by canals and rivers. In the Autumn of 2007 Ramyshome moored up near Loughborough and the crew headed off for another grand tour through Hong Kong, Brisbane Australia and most of New Zealand. The need to refill the coffers took us to the hire boat company Foxhangers Canal Holidays on the Kennet & Avon Canal where Roger worked for two years helping poor souls without a boat of their own to enjoy our canals. There we added a new crew member, a hound of uncertain breeding called Molly. And there too we became famous, appearing on two BBC programmes, the Sunday Politics Show and Countryfile. As we re-acquaint ourselves with a way of life we love so much and return to those special places we found the first time we hope to provide readers with a flavour of a watery lifestyle. |
