Hiya Cass. Go to www.google.co.uk and search the U.K. pages only, type in "canal boat hire Dudley" or Wolverhampton or whatever town you fancy starting from and you'll find more websites than you can shake a stick at. (well almost) I hear these people are very good, http://www.narrowboats.co.uk/ they operate just outside of Wolves at Penkridge on the Stafford Road. Turn right in the village centre by the island and you'll come to their yard. Watch out for them "water rots" they'm as big as cats :0))) Kind regards Ron O'Neill www.genealogyprinters.com
