The scenery on the first half of the cruise (3 days) was almost always blocked by trees/foliage on the canal sides. This was very disappointing given that it had been "sold" to use as picturesque. We also had a lot of trouble working out where to stop given limited power or water options and limited on board notes. We were advised not to worry about where to stop and to just "go with it". However, when we did the latter, it would mean having to stop where there were no facilities. We also found that the majority of villages on this route had limited options for supplies (very few conveniences stores, or shops that were closed until mid-Sept, or shops that closed from noon through 2pm, or restaurants that did not open on a Monday and/or Tuesday). I think that this sort of information could easily be included in "Information Packs" or on-board notes. I would not recommend this route to anyone.

Boat was a little tired, aft cockpit chairs and table very poor, (1 seat actually broke). Forward head kept leaking effluent back into bowl. Needed new joker valve. Rental Office owner admitted boat had not been maintained to normal standards because of Covid issues. Otherwise the boat performed flawlessly and places we visited were awesome. Shame we couldn’t complete the entire loop because of low water and weed growth.
