For over three years, author Dan Brown has enjoyed life on his tiny narrowboat Tilly.
In The Narrowboat Diaries, Dan invites the reader onboard to experience an entire calendar year of life on the beautiful, rural Llangollen Canal, with a few short trips on an even more tranquil stretch of water, known affectionately as "The Monty".
Dan takes time to talk not only about boating, but also how the passing of months, cruising locations and weather affect day to day life. With no fixed mooring, but dozens of miles of canal, winding through scenic farmland and countryside to cruise, there is plenty to see and do.
Written in a friendly, warm and informal tone, Dan uses his experiences afloat to create an honest, accurate and enjoyable account of just one of the many years that he hopes to spend afloat.
