It's around 115 miles long and travelling by narrowboat takes between one and two weeks. Walking it takes a little longer and you will be joining Bill to make the journey, not all in one go, but in bite sized pieces. These days, when Bill walks the towpath, he gets more than physical exercise. Walking with Bill will be sometimes a tiny bit weird, often hilarious, always eventful and inevitably informative. Since discovering the Warwick Ring, he has a new challenge to conquer, and you will be his companion on this idiosyncratic journey. Bill has an eye for the derelict and the decaying, and loves to dig up the amazing history that follows the canal. You will be traveling through beautiful rural countryside and urban city grunge, chatting with interesting characters along the way, and experiencing the highs and lows of this journey-with-a-difference.
