Some boaters like to colonise the tow path when they moor.
The posh ones set up their recliner chairs, picnic table with parasol, wine cooler, BBQ etc.
Some set up a BBQ and swing ball and maybe some blankets.
These only appear in the summer months.
There are other boaters, full time liveaboard's, they tend to unload wood, a fire pit made from a washing machine drum, a clothes airer, a couple of folding chairs, a pile of bricks and a wheel barrow.
Someone passing our boat asked why all boaters had a wheel barrow on their roof, we don't so I'm not sure she,asked me but I did explain that a wheel barrow was the best way to transport stuff along the towpath because the terrain can be rough.

Are you allowed to colonise a tow path? I thought they were like public footpaths.I only have experience of the tow paths near Stratford upon Avon and I have never seen what you describe?
I don't suppose they are but they tend to be the wider ones where the path wanders through a field. We tend to stay on the boat but it's something I've noticed on my travels.
Sounding very jealous and envious love.
