Join us tonight as we reflect on that often under-appreciated companion to the canals, the humble towpath. We uncover its vital importance in the past and how in, recent years, its relationship with the canal has been changing. We also meet up again with E. Temple Thurston and the good captain Eynsham Harry as the meet a figure of the forgotten past.

Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.

#Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.

A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators

I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
(wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat.

Christmas is coming and everything seems to becoming increasingly frantic. So, why not steal away for a short while to join us on the NB Erica to enjoy the feeling of waiting for Christmas to arrive in its special way to the cut?

OK, here's a question for #UK #boaters, especially those in #narrowboats: what is the best time of year (preferably "off-season) to take a narrowboat in the canals? I'm interested in doing a trip at least two weeks long and I'm trying to do it when it's not high season. My main concerns are weather. I'm thinking maybe September or October 2026?

Also looking for one or two people willing to share the trip with me.

Nighttime on Still Waters Sep 21, 2025

It's a blustery, moonless night—perfect for some cozy listening. Join us tonight on the Erica as we reminisce about the inconsequential things that bring so much joy and provide such important anchor points to our lives.
