We have now added a new map icon to our maps, where a canal or river connect we have added a new icon where you see this there is a navigable link to another Canal/River in the popup info we provide links to the appropriate map. We don’t have these added to every canal as yet, but as we add new individual canal maps, we add this links.
I like the idea of a Canal/River ring, it means I don’t have to come back the same way, everything is new (ish) but like most trips on a new canals I like to do my research before hand so I know some of what I am going to see and do along the way. I do like a suprise and we normally find one or two.
That is where the mapping projects came in I started this so I would know what is ahead, not everything, but essentials like Cafes, Food, Diesel and Pump outs, this has grown to over 3,000 locations and is still growing.
Well over the past couple of months I have added Canal/River Rings to our mapping project, these maps list everything I have found for my other maps, but dedicated to just that ring.
All these maps are sharing a database of locations that is be added to daily, so if you find something new I should have included please let me know you can use our Facebook group to keep in touch.
When we purchased Floydtilla, she came with two swivel reclining chairs with some foot stools, very comfy but not very practical when you have 3-4 people onboard.
We had been on the lookout for a sofa, but had not found anything that did not take up all the space we had, then we found out about Sofabed Barn and they also where going to have a stand at the Crick boat show, saving us a lot of guess work and we could test everything out before purchasing, they also have a section on their web site just for Narrowboat seating.
At the show we sat on everything we could, we got some good advice from their team, especially Gary, who explains the options. Finally we selected a Belvedere 3 seater sofa bed, while it says 3 seater, its an easy four at a push, doubling our comfy seating while taking up about the same space and we also now have an extra double bed when needed.
Obi waiting to see what is happening now we have cleared the lounge.
Communication with Sofabed Barn, was good, if I asked a question them email of messaged back very quickly, we had a delivery deadline and they exceeded our expectations.
The Sofabed was delivered in their own van, much better that using a courier, they carried it to the boat, unpacked it built it ( I was not expecting that) and removed all the rubbish and packaging. They have installed a few of these it seems, would have taken me the rest of the afternoon, they tock about 10 minutes.
The new Sofabed installed
The cost of our new Sofa was £648 delivered, we had paid a £200 deposit at the show, paying the rest on delivery, we are very happy with that.
I would highly recommend this company easy to deal with 5 star service.
