Cruising The Cut Web-series

Storyline

Cruising the Cut tells the real-life story of a man who quit his job, sold his house and went to cruise gently along the historic canals of Great Britain on a traditional narrowboat. In his second year of narrowboat ownership, David Johns took it on a more extensive voyage involving five rivers, one Victorian boat lift, many canals and a lot of wildlife. This season documents that trip, with a few additional narrowboat adventures and stories thrown in for good measure. Season Three sees David embarking on some DIY on the boat and getting rather grimy in the process, as well as undertaking a cruise down the wide Grand Union canal, towards - but not quite reaching - London. Plus there's a winter cruise and to cap it all off, an episode featuring how canal boats used to be pulled - by horse. Season 4 is another magical year spent cruising the British canals, with relaxing trips along the beautiful Ashby canal, the wild Caldon canal, and the stunning Macclesfield canal.
