Pickle's Folly

Diagram of the layout of Pickle's Folly
Pickle's Folly was built in 2012 by Starline Marine in Stourport-on-Servern and named in memory of Graham Pickett whose bequest made this boat possible.
The rear deck of this 60 feet long narrowboat is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair and the hydraulic lift will carry anyone with mobility difficulties into the cabin. The dinette beyond the galley can seat five with space for a wheelchair user at the side. The first sleeping cabin is flexible enough to provide bunks for one to four. With one bunk there is sufficient space for a wheelchair user, who can also access the wetroom shower and toilet next door. Four fixed berths are in the next cabin, followed by a second wetroom shower and toilet. The forward saloon can seat six around a removable table and can be converted into 2/4 berths if required. The galley is equipped with a four burner stove with grill and oven, an electric fridge/freezer and hot and cold running water.

Pickle's Folly in Pictures

In 2013 a crew of volunteers brought the new Pickle's Folly from Starline Marine in Stourport-on-Severn to our base at Hunton Bridge. They wrote a log and took photos of their trip and these can be seen on the following pages.
