Welcome to my web site. Use it to find out more about my new book and how to order it.

Please contact me if you would like more information.

 

This is a new book published by the author and it takes the reader on an adventure across the inland waterway scene of the 1950’s. Mike has written a fascinating account of his waterway life in those times, woven with colourful characters and hilarious stories. It is a unique book that appeals not just to the boating world but also to all who enjoy a bit of history and a laugh.

 

Travel with Mike as he describes his first trip on the busy river Trent from Nottingham to Hull Docks as mate aboard a British Waterways Towing Barge.

 

Enjoy his experiences working on Narrowboats and Tugs on the upper reaches of the Trent and East Midlands canals. What it was like to build Lock Gates.

 

Share the years Mike spent working in a busy Boatyard and the ups and downs of operating one of the earliest hire cruiser fleets on the upper Trent. Meet the eccentric clients and people he worked with.
