Competition | Win a boating holiday worth £1,000

Iona Bower March 20, 2019

All aboard for your chance to win a luxury boating escape courtesy of ABC Boat Hire

How much do you know about Britain’s canals? Boating holidays bring a whole new perspective to the UK countryside, giving you access to waterside towns and villages, a quieter way to travel and a whole lot of wildlife along the way. A real departure from everyday life, it can feel like a big deal, but actually, with ABC Boat Hire, you can dip your toe in with a short boating break. The boating holiday experts offer everything from three-night to two-week getaways.

Exploring the UK’s best inland waterways, adopting a slower pace of life and relishing the adventure that comes with making a boat your home for a few days, a boating holiday is an idea worth getting on board with. All ABC boats come with comfortable berths and modern amenties – even on-board wifi!

With almost 200 boats, 16 start points and over 1,500 miles of waterways to explore, it’s time to start planning your best holiday yet.

YOUR CHANCE TO WIN

Enter this month’s competition and you could win a short break with ABC Boat Hire. You can pick your route, from selected start bases in England or Wales, and bring along up to seven guests on your eight-berth boat. Choose from either a three-night weekend break or four-night escape mid week. It’s a brilliant prize worth up to £1,000. All the cue you need to plan your next adventure…

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
