About "BUMBLE"
Bumble is a purpose built narrowboat for eight passengers. She is less than 20 feet in length and fitted with a splendid Danish fishing boat Diesel engine the sound of which gives her a unique character. The controls are very simple and she is possibly the most manoeuvrable boat on the canal and can be turned in her own length.! Bumble is particularly popular with beginners to boating.
Setting off with a happy family group and with the windows rolled up in the sunshine.
Looking forward > towards the seating area and with the windows rolled down. Access is from the rear deck or from either of the side hatches.
The loo is a Porta Potti chemical toilet and is really for occasional use as generally Bumble is within > range of a pub! There are no cooking or washing facilities on Bumble, you will need to bring a picnic and utensils with you. Many hirers cruise to The Mill House Braunston for lunch or plan to eat at The Bridge Napton mid cruise or on returning.
<The view looking back from the seats shows the toilet compartment on the left, stairs to the rear deck and a working surface for picnic preparation etc .
Note the side hatch for easy access.
