This book acts as a useful and highly practical introduction to the UK canal network and those who use it. Part of the successful Tempus Towpath series, the book covers areas such as how the canals came about, things to look for when buying a boat, things to look out for on the canals, how to negotiate your way around the system and basic maintenance. Highly illustrated throughout, the book adopts Nick's usual accesible style and will be a 'must have' for anyone new to the canals.
