About this product

Product Information

The hilarious true story of two pensioners and their whippet who sail from Stone in Staffordshire to Carcassonne in the South of France in a narrowboat... 'We could bore ourselves to death, drink ourselves to death, or have a bit of an adventure...'When they retired Terry and Monica Darlington decided to sail their canal narrowboat across the Channel and down to the Mediterranean, together with their whippet Jim. They took advice from experts, who said they would die, together with their whippet Jim. On the Phyllis May you dive through six-foot waves in the Channel, are swept down the terrible Rh ne, and fight for your life in a storm among the flamingos of the Camargue. You meet the French nobody meets - poets, captains, historians, drunks, bargees, men with guns, scholars, madmen - they all want to know the people on the painted boat and their narrow dog. You visit the France nobody knows - the backwaters of Flanders, the canals beneath Paris, the heavenly Yonne, the lost Burgundy Canal, the islands of the Sa ne, and the forbidden ways to the Mediterranean. Aliens, dicks, trolls, vandals, gongoozlers, killer fish and the walking dead all stand between our three innocents and their goal - many-towered Carcassonne.

Exactly as described, delivery service delivered to my neighbour despite my address printed clearly on package so no fault to dinkigummi (seller) I received late. Seller was quick to help/reply and as a result received within 12 hours of enquiry. I must add I chose free delivery so may be part of risk that's comes with this choice ( free P&P)

    Had this book some years ago and subsequently gave it away to a friend to enjoy. Came back fresh again second time around and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour and a love of dogs. You don’t need to be a canal boat enthusiast to read this one. Am now going to re-buy the other two gems from this brilliant author.

    Must read if you're interested in narrow boats, whippets or being retired with a sense of adventure.

    I would recommend if you have an interest in narrow boats, whippets or being retired or else if you are really wanting to read something a bit different. I'm am enjoying the story but I'm finding it hard reading as the punctuation isn't great and I am not familiar with narrow boats, whippets or being retired. I'm getting on much better than I did with pride and prejudice that took me ten years because it was too boring. This is holding my attention. Some bits are funny. You can hear the author's voice as you read and I like that. In bits you feel you are on the journey.
