CHARTER HOTEL BOAT WILLOW - Cruising Scotland's Canals - Falkirk Wheel - Bowling - Glasgow - Edinburgh  
The Bow / Observation Cabin:
The photos just don't do this area justice - a unique unsurpassed narrowboat feature (passers-by congratulate us on this feature on a daily basis). Scroll down to see the photos - firstly from the outside looking in, then from inside looking out: Scroll down to see full photos. ( Photo Credit: Scott Marine Services)
Above: From the side looking in - side hatches open Above: From the front looking in
Above: From behind the seated position, looking forward past the GPS Mapping facility - what a unique comfortable way to cruise the canals. This in Bow/Observation Cabin mode, with the seats facing forward. Swivel the seats through 180 degrees, and the area becomes part of the lounge (see the pics for the lounge area). Above: Close-up shot of the 14" GPS mapping screen. The maps used are the Ordnance Survey Explorer series. The small centre screen red circled dot indicates Willows current position using a GPS (satellite) fix. As we cruise our position on the map is constantly being updated by the GPS so guests can, at a glance, see where we are - helping to identify surrounding features from the map. (Another innovative unique service on Willow?)
Above: Time for breakfast, Lunch, or Tea, on the move..... or just to take in the scenery (see below) .....Perhaps with an airy feel - which also means that in hot weather the lounge area also feels cooler.
