Congratulations to recent 'Narrow Boater Newbies', both 'young' and intrepid 71 year olds! After initial instruction & guidance from the Wyvern team they successfully navigated their way up the Grand Union Canal and back again with big smiles on their faces. Thank you for sharing their experiences, making us smile but also for their lovely customer review left on Google recently:

"Booked "Foxglove" after we saw some charming videos from a couple that started their narrow-boat journey with Foxglove from the Wyvern Shipping Co. It was wonderful ! The boat is beautiful, and the instruction (furnished by the patient and wise Steve) was first-rate....Everything worked on the boat.....and the engine was perfect.....beautiful transit up the Union Canal.....lots of incredible birds, lovely boaters, and great pubs! (3 Locks I'm talkin' about you!).....we did it and we are 71 yrs. old....so get out there and let the Wyvern Shipping Co. help you become a "narrow boater"! Thanks Wyvern!"

Wyvern Shipping has just completed its sponsored annual Spring canal clean up through Milton Keynes. Lots of rubbish including 4 electric scooters dragged from the canal bed and lots of overhanging trees trimmed which were a hazard to navigation . Job well done with 6 ton of rubbish collected. Now a much better place for cruising boats.
