Messing About on the Water


Poshboatz of Ferry Meadows have been putting the winter lay up to good use, with a complete revamp of their website. The new site features all of the Grumpy Git Productions videos, as well as photo galleries of Ferry Meadows Country Park. If you’re planning a day out and fancy something different, a boat trip on Poshboatz’ unique (to Britain) luxury craft is well worth considering. With leather seats and cupholders (it’s always the gadgets that appeal!) the boat is available for turn-up-and-go lake trips, or can be hired for private charters that venture out into the River Nene. It’s a fantastically relaxing experience to slowly cruise up the meandering river with a glass of chilled Chardonnay in one hand and a custard cream in the other – living the James Bond lifestyle to the full - and follow this with a high speed blast down Overton Lake to finish off with.


In addition, links to the many activities offered throughout the Park enable visitors to virtually plan a whole day out. Where else can you take a boat cruise, ride a steam train, play golf, windsurf, go on horseback or cycle to name but a few of the activities on offer, under one roof? Well, sky. You can even walk on water! For Tony Blair this is nothing new, but now anyone can take part by jumping into a hydrosphere, which is a flash way of saying plastic bubble. But it looks fun and has to be worth a go. There are cafes and children’s adventure play parks located within the 50 miles or so of footpaths and cycleways that run through the park, and with easy access from the A1 and parking for around £3 a day at peak times, you can’t really go wrong. Which is why I seem to spend so much of my free time down there.


Poshboatz have also launched their own blog to keep everyone informed about news and developments.
