Travel Diary

Travel Diary

Every journey leaves us with a new story to tell. Some days bring peaceful cruising and beautiful scenery. Others test our patience with broken locks, changing weather and unexpected challenges. Our Travel Diary shares the everyday reality of life aboard Round Tuit as we explore Britain’s canals and rivers.
