When Steve Haywood hits 50 he is galvanised into action. Exploring the English canals on his trusty narrowboat "Justice" and the countryside in his classic Triumph Herald, he attempts to delve into what it is that makes the English so, well, English. Happily mixing with the eccentric array of characters he meets along the way, Steve experiences more than his fair share of mayhem, mishaps and, of course, torrential rain.
