The Journey Starts

Looking at Norman's!
Hello and welcome to my journey of Campervan to Canal. I run a successful business called Horse Bit Fit, travelling UK visiting horse yards consulting on Bits and Bridles affecting biomechanics of horses. At present I use a Mitsubishi Delica as a Campervan. After a lot of thinking, discussion with the "hairy lads" it was decided we need a base, a base that can move! Obvious answer a boat.
  I'm a complete novice with boats, so thought I'd use this blog to try help others, inspire others, as I start, and hopefully carry on my journey. I'll cover good and bad, information I source, any courses I do, and just what it feels like to go from terra firma travel, to watery travel!
   As the title suggests, I've already found out I need a boat called Norman! Or similar, to travel all of the UK inland waterways. Nothing wider than 7ft, or you're restricted to where you travel, and it's nearly impossible to get from South to North. Looking at Norman 25, or 27 as in feet long. Decided against a barge as such, wanted something small, manageable. So this is where I start, looking at as many "Normans" as possible, until one says "hello, I'm the one" Hope you enjoy this blog, thanks for reading first installment.
