Edited from OP, as I have managed to rearrange thing a little... Have to move my 'house' from Milton Keynes to West London. Never been boating solo, but have rearranged work (I think), no confirmed dates yet. Got some volunteers to help me, but if anyone fancies a few days on a narrowboat in the next 2-3 weeks (even for a day or so), please PM me! I'm a total lock virgin with 68' of 'house' and about 100 locks to destination1 yikes

I may be up for it (PS you have mail too), as said, make sure you have at least 2 windlasseseses, as I have seen people playing about with them only to wang it in the lock! Don't worry overly, locks aren't too bad, although at 68' you will have too watch out for the cills, or you may end up with one end of the boat stuck in the air!
