Crossing England in a Punt: River of Dreams River of Dreams: Crossing England in a Punt
From the Staffordshire Hills to the Humber Estuary, spirited explorer Tom Fort embarks on a 170 mile journey down Britain's third longest river - the Trent. Beginning on foot, he soon transfers to his own custom-built punt, "The Trent Otter" and rows many miles downstream. Along the way he encounters the power stations that generate much of the nation's electricity; veterans of the catastrophic floods of 1947; the 19th Century brewers of Burton; and a Bronze Age boatman who once made a life along the river. In River of Dreams, Tom Fort discovers the secrets of a beautiful waterway and over 3000 years of history.
