This story
Ben spent his savings for a house deposit on a narrowboat, choosing to live debt-free while running his flower seed business. After moving aboard, he and his dog Flash weathered being icebound and travelled about 400 miles over their first year. They have returned to the Oxford Canal for the winter ahead of travelling north again in the spring.
