Description
Terry Darlington's Narrow Dog to Carcassonne is a travelogue of adventure and misadventure. In 2006, the author and his wife, Monica, set out to sail their canal narrowboat across the Channel and down to the Mediterranean, accompanied by their whippet, Jim. The journey was not without its challenges, as they faced treacherous waters, fierce storms, and encounters with a cast of colourful characters. Along the way, the Darlings encountered a diverse range of people, from poets and captains to historians and drunks, who were all drawn to their unusual vessel and its canine passenger. As they navigated the canals and waterways of France, they discovered hidden gems and unexpected delights, including the backwaters of Flanders, the canals beneath Paris, and the heavenly Yonne. Their journey ultimately took them to the medieval city of Carcassonne, a place of many towers and narrow streets, where they faced one final challenge in their quest to reach the Mediterranean. With its unique blend of adventure, humour, and insight into French culture, Narrow Dog to Carcassonne is a compelling account of one couple's extraordinary journey.
