Standing on a box so's able to see where we were going, Lydia took the helm for a while. With a few prompts from me like,"watch the front, which way is it going?" And a few gentle touches on the tiller arm from me, we managed to make our way fairly accurately up the canal. I was impressed with her concentration and the way she listened to my advice and responded accordingly.
As a driving instructor over the years I taught many many people to drive cars but that was a first for me, teaching an 8 year old to steer a 50 ft narrow boat! Blimey I'm still learning myself! Anyway, well done Lydia.
