Narrowboat Tales and Adventures
Великобритания
Добавлен 11 авг 2019
Join with Ian and Narrowboat Morning Star as they travel the Inland Waters as Continuous Cruisers.
After two potential life threatening hospitalisations, Ian finally decided to do something; both about his current way of life and to embrace something he had always dreamed about.
If you like gentle relaxing music to accompany your canal cruise viewing then this is certainly one channel to subscribe too. Ian is often seen to put a twist on canal life such as narrating his own Ghost Story.

Our first trip with a caravan but will we reach our destination at Cuckoos Corner Camp Site
Today is a big day as we arrive in Glossop to collect our pride and joy, our #caravan #eveningstar.
The aim is to spend a couple of nights on our way back at a small campsite called #cuckooscornercampsite at #moretononlugg near to #Hereford.
I had not towed a caravan for some 40 years and Carol, never! So with a positive mindset, we hitched up and go on our merry way, only to discover a rather worrying noise!
Planning this trip was great until we realised this was the Friday before the last May Bank Holiday!
Would we actually make it or would our first night be spent on the back of a breakdown lorry?

This one of the most difficult vlogs Carol and I have had to do. Selling Morning Star was not easy but health considerations were just one of the reasons we had to take the decision. In this vlog, we talk though the reason and take one last look at the Canals which have been our home for the past 4 years. This NOT THE END, and we look forward to sharing our NEW ADVENTURES with you very shortly ...

Autumn Leaves

Autumn 2023 sees Carol and I back onboard Morning Star hoping for a nice cruise. Unfortunately for us, Storm Babet came along so we stayed Marina side enjoying the full force of that storm as it hit us broadside. Once passed, we took the opportunity to head out of Yelvertoft and take a relaxing week in one of our favourite moorings. So join us as we head out and enjoy some beautiful scenery alo...

Day 9 Madeira Anthem of the Seas Canary Island Cruise 2023
Просмотров 5909 месяцев назад
Despite us being on the most fantastic Canary Island Cruise, it was to be Madeira that stole our hearts. It was a most enjoyable day and with Louis as our guide, it could not have been more enjoyable. Cable cars, toboggans, fabulous markets that use Carols initials, to Madeira wine tasting and a walk though the park. #funchal was one amazing stop over. Thanks to #royalcaribbean for bringing us ...

A quick update to explain what is going on. Its a new year and finally we are able to put the health issues that seemed to beset us last year well and truly behind us - well for now anyway! Despite Ian's technical experience he made a real bad decision as this update vlog explains :-)

After visiting a view point hig...

In this vlog we reach Gran Canaria, the 3rd largest of the Canary Islands. We take a trip out to Agaeta which is a lovely unspoilt resort on the island, followed by a tip up into the mountains to view a vineyard, which also produces jams and coffee. The roads, once off the motorways, are very very narrow and all credit to the coach driver, but for me, not the window seat!! So please join us as ...

In this vlog, we arrive in Lanzarote. This volcanic island is known to many as it's a popular place to visit all year around due to its warm climate. Both Carol and I have been here before and with two quite exhausting days ahead of us, we decided to stay on board and take a trip in the Noprth Star, which is the huge 'bubble' that will raise us some 300' above sea level. So join us and see how ...

Todays vlog is all about food and centres around the enourmous galley onboard Anthem of the Seas. Several groups were invited to take the tour as the ship cruised towards Lanzarote. We were in the first group to do the tour, which was led by the head chef. It is hard to caputure the size of these galleys on video as they are so huge. Despite cooking over 30000 meals a day, everything is spoless...

DIY Narrowboat Blacking at Yelvertoft Marina
Hi Ian and Carol, it’s good to see you’re travelling again, hope you get as much enjoyment from the caravan, as you did from the boat. Alan and Sally xx
We are really happy for you both. Your caravan looks stunning. I love the colour scheme. We look forward to watching your many adventures in the future. xx
Thanks Jenny. Lovely to hear from you and Carol and I look forward to sharing our adventures. Take care.
Just found your channel, Couldn't believe I was watching you this afternoon on an old Chugabug vlog the day Gary lost his job..spooky good vlog looking forward to more best wishes. 😊
Thanks Robert for your kind comment. Those days with Gary were certainly some of the best. We have plenty more adventures to come along with some rather annoying mechanical issues to be revealed soon!
Congratulations! It looks beautiful. Can't wait to see your next video.
Thank you so very much. We both look forward to sharing the new adventures with you. Take care.
What a lovely happy vlog. ❤
Hooray welcome back, I hope you both enjoy your new adventures, I'm looking forward to seeing them. Safe travels 🫠
Oh thank you so much for your kind comment. Its not been the easiest of starts for us but we are certainly enjoying ourselves. Look forward to sharing our adventures on a more regular basis now.
Absolutely love to see this, Ian and Carol! This made my night. Xoxo from Houston, Texas, USA
Bless you. Thank you for such a lovely comment. Lots more adventures in the pipeline which we look forward to sharing with you. Take care.
Excited to see what new adventures are headed your way!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. We both look forward to sharing our new adventures with you :-)
Hi Ian and Carol Good Luck in your new venture , Just think No more weed hatches ,engine checks , heavy locks etc. Cheers
Thank you so very much for your kind comment. Weed hatches on a caravan - hopefully never LOLs We are still very much novices at this but living on a narrowboat certainly has prepared us for this in so many ways. We do miss the pump out toilet though :-)
We are delighted that you’ve started your new adventures and send our love and best wishes for many years of happy tugging. We look forward to seeing where you go next🏖️Alan and Sally xx
Thank you so much Alan & Sally. Hope to catch up with you soon.
Wishing you both many happy adventures
Bless you. Thank you so very much for your kind comment. Take care.
Great to see you so happy and plenty of smiles. Good health and best wishes on your new adventures 😊👍🏻
Thanks so very much for your kind comment. Both Carol and I are wishing you the best of health too and look forward to sharing our adventures with you all.
Look fantastic Ian, we are just finishing buying a caravan too so I’m interested in internet connection possibilities. Maybe we can meet up if you are both up in Scotland 👍. I just got a 2 berth Elddis xplore and for my Kia Sportage it’s just above 70% towing capacity
Thanks for your comment Stuart and congratulations on getting your own. Be great to meet if we are ever in the vicinity of each other. What is it they say, 'have caravan - will travel' :-)
Enjoy your new Adventure ❤xxx
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Take care.

Hi Carol ad Ian. GG says. Woof. Love the way the adventures are going. Keep it going
Thank you! Will do Kat and look forward to sharing more of our adventures :-)
I’m from Lutterworth and spent many happy memories at Stanford Hall. Hovercraft racing as a child in the 80s and was fascinated at the replica glider of Percy Pilcher’s. Another great video both. New to your channel and loving it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you need to black the underneath?
Sally and I are sorry for the way your boating life has sadly come to an end but your health is paramount, so go forward to your new adventures, knowing you’ve made the right decision. Many thanks for the mention, keep in touch, and take care in whatever you do. Best wishes Alan and Sally xx
Sally and I are sad to hear of your decision to sell Morning Star, and send our love and best wishes for the next exciting chapter of your adventures x
Hope you’re both ok. Sad to see Morning Star up for sale. Hugs and best wishes ❤
I used to ride my bike down there everyday during summer holidays as a kid. The woods were super creepy in the winter too when it was getting dark. Great place in the 80s.
I’ve never seen owt like that before. Looked great fun!🤠
It was great fun Alan. :-)
I popped down to Crick in the van today, it’s not so clean now, will need another wash! Thanks for the mention, all the best.
On no Alan. After all your hard work too.
I will need to give it a quick wash down, certainly on one side.
Lovely to see you 2 back ... its Sarah and Nick (your neighbour) hope to meet you out on the cut now we are finally on our Boat 😊 xx
Awww thank you. Are you the green boat next to us?
@NarrowboatTales hi no lol we met you at Willington when you were with Chris and Steve and we bought you all a bottle of wine. We were having our Boat built. Then we saw you again at Crick and Carol said Nick always reminds her of her neighbour 🙄
Hi Sarah and Nick , lovely to hear from you you , I Remember that day on the Tow path😀 Where are you now ? If you’re our Neighbour, yes Nick looks just like Jon xxx
I missed Ian 'n Carol, too! They always seem to be so cheerful and happy. 😄
Awww bless. Thanks Ralph.
Great to see you back, you have been very much missed, it’s fabulous to see how happy and positive you are. Best wishes to you both on your forthcoming adventures. Life is for living, enjoy everything you do 😃
Thanks Angela, it certainly is for living. Lots planned over the next few months to share with you all. Take care.
Well that was a lovely surprise, so pleased to see you both back. Look forward to your vlogs. Take care xx
Thanks Elizabeth for your kind comment; You take care too.
When's the wedding
Good question :-) We have some plans....
Oh, how I wish you could find, and put up a link to the "Four Go Narrowboating" live vlog where three of you could hear each other but Alan could not hear you. I laughed out loud till I had tears in my eyes. I'd love to see it again, and I think other folks would love to see it as well. Thanks!
I'll find it and get it republished :-)
Great to see you back on the cut. Missed you.
Thank you so much.
Stick with the laptop. I cannot abide the limitations of a tablet and I find its reduced size a detriment, not an advantage. Medical issues? It is always a downer when bits of you start "wearing thin". After a lifetime of being as healthy as a weed, my heart started acting up back in 2020. My teeth were always problematic (always had a dentist... and made their trade profitable) but suddenly I had a cardiologist now as well! Drat! Inside this 69 year old coot is the same dumb-ass 20 something year old asking...hey, wait a minute!... Get out there and have those adventures!
Thanks Stephen. We are the same age then! Be glad when January is over, its always a difficult month I find. Lots of adventures planned, so here's to health and happiness in 2024 to us both.
Thanks for the mention, I'm looking forward to the Quiz on Saturday night. I'm pleased you're up and running again.
It was great fun for sure Alan. Good to catch up with you again.
P.S amazing news about name change. Alan has too.
Thanks Kat
Hi Ian and Carol. GG says woof. Glad that you both and Alan weathered the ferocious storm
Great to see you both
You both look so happy! I wish you both robust health and many years of love together! .<3 ....Sooo glad you two made it through the storms! I'm also looking forward to your future cruises. Spring is just around the corner, sooner for you than for me, that's for sure....lol...still, today is a balmy -1C which is incredible for a January on the Canadian prairies! I've got my windows open enjoying the fresh air. We are all just recovering from our cold snap (-35 to -42C with blizzards/blowing snow!) 🌨 🥶🌬
Thanks Louise. It sounds very cold where you are. We follow your images you post with great interest. Its very warm here today as well. I suspect there will be a sting in the tail sometime.
@@NarrowboatTales Ian and Carol, right now we are experiencing record highs for January! Today and the rest of the week are in the single digit highs (up to +5C!) with sun, sun sun...yeah! Although, I will agree, it's nice for us in January which is usually -25 to -30C, these highs are scary. Will we end up having a massive blizzard dumping 30mm of snow in February? Will we end up will sudden arctic temperatures again? Will we have a quick thaw bringing major flooding? Stay tuned! ha ha ha ha... Right now it's -1C with bright sunshine and I am on my way to take advantage of all of this....!! ...why, it's positively shorts and flip flop weather here!!
Brilliant to see you both so happy,Lovely to see you vlogging again,missed you.,Flowers Ian you should be getting Carol a Lovespoon as well.Take care and hope the questions in the quiz are mostly about Canals,gud luck to all 3 of you,Cant go wrong with Alan on your team
Thanks Graham. We did OK last evening but I think Carol is putting something out a bit later on that. Yes we have a love spoon from 2021 onboard with us. Take care.
Happy to see Ian and Carol again onboard!! Missed you two last year!! ❤
Awww bless. Thank you so much.
Happy St Dwynwen's Day
Thanks Colin.
