DASHWOOD J.B. Dashwood's historic account is available online in PDF format.

On 7th November 2002 a new video about the Wey & Arun Canal was launched at a reception held in the Wildlife and Wetlands Trust at Arundel. The video shows how, accompanied by his faithful companion "Rowan", Tony Pratt sets out in his collapsible boat "Frog" to retrace the diaried account of Victorian yachtsman J.B. Dashwood and rediscover his epic 1867 inland voyage along the Surrey & Sussex canals.     Filmed from the water wherever possible, this unique video takes an atmospheric journey down the Wey & Arun Canal from Guildford to the South Coast.     Exploring on the way some of the most picturesque areas of rural Surrey and West Sussex, visiting many sections not normally accessible to the public.
