Courageously facing the perils of the British canals, Sam and his recently repaired craft venture forth into the wettest October on record.

When Sam Llewellyn set out to travel in an ancient rowing boat from the source of the Severn to the Houses of Parliament, nobody told him (because nobody knew) that he was going to be doing it in the wettest October on record. This is the narrative of his trip - a solitary odyssey through driving rain into the dark heart of the British midlands and out the other side. It is a classic of exploration that ever since it was first published has been making people glad that they are in here reading this and not out there doing that. Read, laugh and shudder.
