Our Off Grid Life On Water | Boating Solo With Two Narrowboats
In this weeks episode we head to a fantastic village music festival tucked in the Derbyshire hills. Once we return to the boats, we get some distance heading north. Unfortunately Emily isn't too well and so I take both boats down the Atherstone locks alone. Luckily the wonderful lockies are on hand to help!

    With respect to the hammer for the mooring pins, try a nylon face dead-blow hammer. They don't bounce, so they put more force into the work. That would put more of your effort into driving the mooring pin and less into the mallet bouncing back into your face.
