class="entry-content clear"><p>Fancy getting away for a little longer than usual?</p><p>We have boats going out from a long weekend, to anything up to 6 months. We will do a great deal on the hire price, and provide support whilst you are out. It is a great way to see the country if you are visiting from abroad, and if you are considering buying your own boat it will give you the feel of what things are like whilst you are a bit further from home base.</p><p>Four weeks will allow you to get around the Thames Ring (down the Grand Union to London, onto the Thames, onto the Oxford Canal and back home.</p><p>3 Months will give you time to explore some of the northern canals – up to Manchester maybe? The Pennines? The Llangollen? Visit the unpronounceable aqueduct?</p><p>For more information please give us a ring and have a <a title="chat" href="https://www.kateboats.co.uk/chat/">chat</a>, we will be happy to advise on boats and give a quote for that holiday of a lifetime.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.kateboats.co.uk/narrowboat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Louisa-under-M25-scaled.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1024,h_768/https://www.kateboats.co.uk/narrowboat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Louisa-under-M25-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-11746" srcset="https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1024/https://www.kateboats.co.uk/narrowboat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Louisa-under-M25-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300/https://www.kateboats.co.uk/narrowboat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Louisa-under-M25-300x225.jpg 300w, https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_lossy,ret_img,w_768/https://www.kateboats.co.uk/narrowboat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Louisa-under-M25-768x576.jpg 768w, https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1536/https://www.kateboats.co.uk/narrowboat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Louisa-under-M25-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_lossy,ret_img,w_2048/https://www.kateboats.co.uk/narrowboat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Louisa-under-M25-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure></div></article></main></div><div class="sidebar widget-area"><div id="custom_html-4" class="widget_text widget widget-sidebar widget_custom_html clear"><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><form action="https://www.waterwaysholidays.com/cgi-bin/webdata_pro.pl" method="post"><table><tbody><tr><td>Starting between which dates?</td></tr><tr><td><select id="book.startdate" name="book.startdate" size="1"><option value="between 01/11/2024 and 07/11/2024">Start between 1st Nov -
