It is beyond my means  to hire boats from each of these companies as a trial of their services, so I have initially drawn information where I can from the internet, with particular thanks to Canal Forum sites such as www.canalworld.net . Hopefully with time i will get to see the facilities  of some of the companies to make the reviews more valid.

Other people's comment would be appreciated to suppliment my information.

 ( Comments to Ron@devmerriman.co.uk ).

 I hope the following  information will be of some use.
