Hi Justin,

Having bought your mag only for the second time, I like it so much that I consider a subscription. I was just wondering if you have ever had an article about canalboats, when I saw you blog on the subject. Those are great holidays indeed. Are you going to run an article on this subject anytime soon ?

Best regards,

Constans Kootstra

Hi Constans,

We did a special supplement in August 2006. You could try ringing 01225 786800 and asking our office if they have any copies left?

We will probably be running a feature on canal boating in the spring time, so keep an eye out for that.
