Shire Cruisers Press Cuttings
Shire Cruisers of Sowerby Bridge - The Yorkshire narrow boat holiday company that works hard .... to give you an easy time
Shire Cruisers Press Cuttings
Here are some articles published about us
by some serious journalists who have been on our boats.
The journalists don't usually pay for their holidays, but
otherwise they get exactly the same service, opportunities and -
we hope - fun as any other customers.
Some
of these Press trips have been organised by ourselves, others
through
Drifters.
Drifters is a group of hire fleets who share a commitment to quality, and a belief in promoting canal holidays to the widest possible audience.
Travel journalists: to arrange a Drifters facilitation visit, contact Debbie Walker.
