WATCH YOUR FOOTING

To save confusion on the cut, this pair of black socks comes

marked with a red band with ‘port’ in black, and one with

green band with ‘starboard’ in black. And for the boss they

are also available with ‘captain’ or ‘skipper’ and ‘first mate’ to

include the crew. £4.50 from http://www.canalshop.co.uk

GO ELECTRIC

A self-drive cruise on the canal

from Brecon is a lovely day

out for a group of friends or a

family. Our boats hold up to

six adults and two children,

and the dog is welcome to

come along, too! The cruise

can last a day, a half-day or

just an hour. Gift vouchers

from £15 per boat. See http://www.

ARMAND FOSTER’S

NARROWBOAT

CALENDAR

ARMCHER PRODUCTIONS

As a change from all the waterways

calendars full of glorious scenes of

tranquil rural waterways, here’s a

canal calendar with a difference.

Cheer yourself up each month

with an amusing colour cartoon

on a canal boating theme –

from a duel fought over who

enters a lock first to grumpy

landowners, the weather,

and the seemingly inevitable

reference to boat toilets.

£6.95 http://www.armcher.com

plus P&P. See http://www.
