Talk: "In the Wake of the Narrowboat Cressy" by Alastair Clark (Leatherhead)
Details
In 1939 Tom and Angela Rolt set out to explore the canals of England in the narrow boat ‘Cressy’. The account of their cruise was a book called “Narrow Boat” and this inspired the national movement to preserve and cherish our inland waterways. Eighty years later Alastair Clark set out on a bike to follow the part of their voyage which followed the Trent and Mersey canal.
