This time we leave Castlefields junction in Manchester and head on up the notorious Rochdale Nine locks. We endure wet weather, slippery surfaces, and climbing lock gates to operated clunky paddles, but are the locks really as bad as their reputation?

Great Vlog Steve and Chris love the music accompanying your vlog great seeing ourselves with Chris! ❤ Dave and Ruth
Muddy bushwacking is ok on a hike, but not to clear the bow. Very nice countryside!
Well, you took all of that in your stride. Well done Steve. It's interesting for us to see some of the downside, and some of the problems, on the canal. It is obviously not all beer and skittles; but the upsides are really big. Thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers.
True Neil. One has to take the ups and downs with this lifestyle but generally there are far more ups than downs 😊
Re: the damaged lock. I think it is called "managed decline". Which is a shame as we bought a boat last year.
I like that Dave. Fits perfectly and I’m going ti use that in my next vlog 😊
There are days that nothing goes right. And after one of those, a good beer or cuppa, a very gooey cake or a bag of crisps... and a good sulk... feel good. The next day should improve! Hope your evening was better than the day!
As luck would have it the evening was much better Karen. A good pint and a good meal cooked by my fav chef onboard all all was right with the world 😂👍
Another great vlog. Watched the tape breaking when it happened. Not a big deal…they really should have placed some kind of flag stating it was closed. That tape was a little hard to see, blended into its surroundings. Take it easy Steve…. Feel better. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
I agree Brigid. Not very easy to see that tape and we did have a giggle afterward saying AmyJo won the race 😂
Nice vlog it good to see some bits that we miss on the cruises that we watch.
We do try to include a lot of side shots in the vlogs for just that reason less. Thanks for watching both channels. Most appreciated
Hope you are feeling better Steve. I managed to watch some of this one in real-time and saw the wrong lock bit 😂 That’s the sort of thing I would do 😁 Have a lovely evening both and big tummy rubs to young Smudge 🥰
Feeling much better Lesley. Chris checked her last two years diary’s and I had the same reaction each year. I’d happily suffer that for just a couple of days rather than go through what I did when I had Covid anyday
great vlog on you cranking it on the cut wit frends than four the great vlog on travels with frends on the cut and liveing the dream thanks lee
Thanks so much!!
The two of us sat here in Malaysia watching you play the quiz wanted to shout out Malaysia and neighbours Singapore to the south, Thailand to the north, Indonesia and Brunei (all with land borders with Malaysia). That's before the obvious ones like Japan and China to go with India as given. Was "Burrr" an attempt at Burma (Myanmar), Bhutan or Bangladesh? (3 all in Asia and beginning in B)
You know I’d never in a million years would have thought if those countries 😂
Have to totally agree that Ye Old Kings Head served excellent food! Went in on the way up the Macc. Chelsea Tractor is also a term we use for all 4x4s that have one woman driver and one kid on an ordinary housing estate and not in the middle of the countryside to cope with the rough lanes. 🤣
Hi Wendy Yes the Kings head food was excellent we’ll defo stop there next time To be honest we say the same about 4X4s too 😂
Another gorgeous relaxing cruise. Thanks Guys.
Thanks again!
nice cruise and camera work really showed off the area for its beauty,thanks for sharing
Thank you. Most appreciated
Nice intro Music and excellent vlog with great filming
Thanks so much!
As usual, another awesome vlog! Frank made a comment while we watched the vlog, AmyJo is very shiny. She sure is! The views are spectacular! And you know me, love your drone footage. That car that rolled up to the swing bridge barricade was going a bit fast. Your vlogs never disappoint, always brilliantly done. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Aww thank you so much Brigid ❤️
Agree with the others, videography captured your story really well. Your travelling mates are quality folks!
Thanks Frank. Always difficult to make a lock flight interesting and not film the same thing at each lock
Hi guys, loverly vlog as usual,loved the follow me drone footage at the locks, presumably the new palm drone you showed me at Macclesfield visitor morning when we spoke. Classy footage and soundtrack as usual, thanks guys..
Your welcome. Thank you
Xx
👍
Chris and Steve you are such nice people I’m glad you have so many good friends. The photography on this vlog was fantastic. Please pet Little Smudge for me
Aww thank you that means so much to us that you feel that way ❤️
Sorry about the mic problems but the music, captions and the photography of the beautiful scenery made it an excellent vlog. Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Such a stunning view! Great video!
Thank you ❤️
Grest vlog. Loved the drone footage at the end of this vlog thanks
Thank you 🙌
Hi Steve and Chris, we enjoyed the vlog!! It was great meeting up with you again, and we loved helping with the locks. We look forward to seeing you again next time! 😀
Can't wait Jenny!
This was such a beautifully shot vlog Steve! And the music was gorgeous. Nice to see a bit more of you on screen too! Have a lovely relaxing weekend both 🥰
Thank you Lesley. It was one if the easy vlogs to put together. Just a shame the microphone packed and I had to use so much music
Lovely video, still trying to catch up. Thanks for not dwelling on the negative side of Runcorn as most youtube boaters who come here do.
Hi Tom. Thanks so much for watching our vlogs and glad you are enjoying them We loved the Arm and really enjoyed our time there. It will be really interesting when the locks down to the Weaver are restored. We’ll be back.
The Macc isn't deep even without a breach but its still a lovely canal
You’re not wrong there David 😂
I remember so well you helping pull the boat from under the bridge, what a day that was! Kept us all entertained 😄. Always am adventure 😊
It was exciting I’ve got to admit and was quite relieved we got the boat free
A nice Vlod good to see the the ladies enjoying there walk. Loverly views when you on the canals
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm Aynho bound, on the Oxford, tooooo much water, locks closed, Cherwell flooded, been here a month. Want to move...aaarrrggghhh.
Can we have some if that water. We don’t have enough here
Xx
👍
Another Great vlog that brings back memories for me,walked upto White Nancy many a time,last time up there Nancy had Grafitti over it,was nice to see its been repainted,the views Chris filmed is why I loved the climb,too old nowadays to try it again,Was a Great vlog all round, a joy to watch
We love going to the White Nancy sadly since having Covid I’d need an Oxygen tank to get up there now
Oh my legs HURT vicariously on that climb As another oldie...with some bursitis, I shall enjoy the views through you.
They were both shattered when they got back 😂
Steve and Chris this was a great vlog. Thank you for sharing the help you gave Zephyr. So nice to see helping hand these days. Please pet Little Smudge for me he is absolutely adorable
We always help when we can. It might be us one day
Oh my! Save some freshly baked bread for me. I remember in one of your vlogs, you baked some bread. 🤤 bread and butter You are right Steve, no smudge walkies in that. It was coming down pretty hard. 🌧️ Wow! A lovely walkabout Chris. It’s nice to be with your bestie. Love the tree with all the bird houses and insect/bee/butterfly house. As usual, another awesome vlog. Sunday is always a good day because we get to watch the latest video from @LIFE onboard AmyJo. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Love it!!
great vlog on cranking it on the cut and see frends boat on the cut and jan chris going out and about thankds four the great vlogs cranking it smuge getting bell rub thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed it
Give the new song ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️and a 👍. Awesome content as usual!
Thank you Trudy. Seems everyone is liking the tune
Lovely stuff! Should I cancel Patreon and join ko-fi then? ☺️
Hi Lesley. It only affects new Patreons. It won’t affect you so please stay as is for now
@@LifeonboardAmyJo will do 🥰
lovely Vvog guys, so sorry Holly was closed and you didn't get to taste any of Jo's cooking, maybe next time, but it was nice seeing the boat in your Vvlog. and nice to see Tony and jan again, in which I watch both channels and holly the cafe boat... take care stay safe...
Yes hopefully next time we’re up that way again Lynne. We do like the Macclesfield so want to do it another time
I've often thought of coming over from the U.S to try canal boating for week but heavy boat traffic would make me a little nervous.
Don’t let that put you off. It not always busy. The llangollen is the busiest canal. The Shropshire union is nice and not too busy
YAY! some cool 3D effects there Steve.
Really? When as I didn’t plan to do 3D effects
@@LifeonboardAmyJo I figured! So here is how to view 3D. Works really well when cruising. When the video is viewing Port side, hold filter over the left eye. Starboard side will be right eye.
I'm also working on a plan to view your livestream cruising in 3D
Ahh glad you love the game! Might let you keep it!! ❤
Hi Sian. Its a great game you will love it a right laugh
I grew up only a mile from Goyt Mill - it was built in 1905; it doesn't date to the 18th Century. The concrete building now converted to a sort of greenhouse at 10:40 is actually a WW2 pillbox.
Hi Richard I must have read the date wrong. Thanks for the correction.
Xx
👍
❤❤❤ your new song!!!
Thank you
Nice new song! Which of you is the songwriter? Well done. Another lovely cruise. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
I confess to using AI to create the song Neil. One AI to create the Kyrics and another to add the melody
@@LifeonboardAmyJo That's amazing. Sounds really good. Phil on Narrowboat Journeys uses something to create melodies for his lyrics. Works well. That's life in the 21st Century! Thanks again.
Hi Steve, Chris and Smudgey Boy, Donna and I just watched your latest vlog and we just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your new song, AmyJo!!! Is this going to be your theme song for your vlogs? We hope so, it was fantastic. We so enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing them each week. Still hoping we can get over there maybe in 2026 now, I know, I know it keeps getting pushed back. But I think we will make it this time. Say a big Hi to Jan and Tony for us as well. So glad you 4 or I should say 5, (Smudge counts too), are traveling together. We enjoy seeing all of you having such a good time. David and Donna Sheets in Florida
Hi David, We're thinking about using the song but our theme tune is now so well known Its going to be hard to change it
Loved the vlog! I actually have one of those Groot planters. 😊 Enjoyed the walkabout in the village. Sure was a bit tight around that area. I recall the difficulty with mooring in that stretch. OMG! You 4 were having a good time! Love it! So much fun!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Yes it was! Thanks for watching Brigid
Nothing like the chug chug chug of the coal boat and Uncle Tony directing boat traffic. Good times good friends.
We love the sound of the coal boats too. Tony was checking the price list as well :-)
Hi , where can I get the track and who is it by?? Live aboard Amy Jo??? It’s brilliant!!! Thanks
I made it I can give you a copy it you want. Let me have an email or contact me via messenger
How wonderful - lovely to see you enjoying a good time with Tony and Jan ☺️ It’s what life’s all about eh. Great song too! 🥰
It really is! Glad you liked the tune
