During October of 2008 Landscape architecture students across 4 levels set out on a 4 day educational and inspirational endeavor in the area of Guildford, Surrey. Our mission was to navigate to specific points along the canal and operate the locks as we went. There where 12 narrow boats altogether so that gave everyone an ideal chance to meet one another. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the canal and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a go at trying to operate a narrowboat! All in all I learned alot from the experience from understanding how locks work and listening to people who wanted to restore areas of the canal for future generations, to the history of the canal revolution. The trip was well worth it and I made some more friends in the process and partisipated in teamwork which is always rewarding.
