Jim Shead steers Waterway Routes

«

»

In our last blog I mentioned we would be ascending Garrison, Ashted and Farmers Bridge Locks on Tuesday morning in case anybody wished to help.

Our daughter, Susan, who had been with us for the main part of our cruise came back to help and we made our way slowly up through the locks in the morning.

Part way up Farmers Bridge locks a gentleman appeared with a windlass tucked into his belt.

I was a little intrigued as there were no boats either side of us. He explained he had just helped another boat down the Farmers Bridge and Aston flights and was walking back up.

The he introduced himself as Jim Shead, waterways writer and photographer who I knew held the number 1 spot on Tony Blew’s UK Waterways Ranking Site. He jumped at the chance to steer his first electric narrow boat and we made even faster progress than expected.

Thank you, Jim, it was great to meet you at last.
