Would You Live in Something like a Narrow Boat
Other
Just watching on channel 4 a programme about those that live kn narrow boats. Would anyone here do that or live in something like a motor home or statuc home
I would love to live on a narrowboat,' unfortunately so would gnats. The little sods love me for some reason and every summer I had to cover myself in lotion to stop them from biting me and making my life a misery. If it werent for that I would love it.
I would absolutely love to.I love being close to water.I would need someone to navigate though I am not licensed for seaman ship lol.
We did consider it at one time but we felt we weren't nimble enough so yes, definitely, if we were younger!
I wouldn't want to live on a narrow boat. I would find it for too claustrophobic. Plus my husband and son are both tall so they wouldn't fit very easily. I like my space too much.
Surprised by some of the comments as narrowboats can be quite spacious especially compared to something like a motorhome but yes to live like that permanently might not be that great but at least the garden outside is always changing and plenty of space there. I quite like the idea of the narrowboat lifestyle for perhaps a couple of months for the novelty but not sure I'd like to do it permanently. I think I'd prefer a motorhome though even though much smaller just because it gives total freedom of where you can go and I'd want to spend more time at beaches. Also with a motorhome you can have a tent outside that massively increases available space when you are pitched up somewhere.
I am planning to buy a narrow boat within the next few months to live on. I think I’ll love the lifestyle and it will be a lot cheaper than buying a house or paying rent.
Still undecided if i’m going to buy a project boat or what that’s already done up n
Definitely not with kids. Would be nice for holiday when older possibly. Not to live in though not practical till retirement really
I would love to go on a Narrow Boat trip, we tried last year in Nottingham for my birthday but it was too late in the day to book..
Who knows next Friday I might get my birthday wish..
My close friend's brother livre in a Narrow Boat on Sheffield's Ri er Don. he likes it thar way
Although mooring fees have to be paid, owning a canal boat could cut down on living expenses as rental and mortgage payments are very high.The life style is not for me but I would consider a log cabin in the countryside.
I would love to! Would just be worried about getting on and off as I’m on crutches. Would also be happy in a big static caravan!
