The children took a 30-minute canal boat trip along the Grand Union Canal. They also got to meet the great canal engineer James Brindley, whose 300th anniversary is being celebrated at the Crick Boat Show.
Peter Johns the show director, says: “We hope the children had a brilliant day experiencing a boat trip and learning how and why our incredible canal system was built. It's particularly special that they get to learn this from the man who was instrumental in developing the canal network - James Brindley. The children are getting an exclusive preview of the boat trips and the Brindley impersonator that Crick Boat Show-goers will enjoy meeting this year.”
