Roger is a fairly well-known figure around the waterways. He is the author of The New Navvies and Canals Revived and a well-known lecturer, especially about waterways overseas. He served for ten years as Commodore of St Pancras Cruising Club and is now Chairman of IWA London Region and on the Board of Management of the London Canal Museum.
This was not his first sailing barge trip, but his first with us.
