49. Bad Lads Jumping on Narrowboats & Noisy Neighbours, so we up anchor and run.
#narrowboat #canal #boatlife
This week we start our journey at the top of the Shropshire Union Canal in Ellesmere Port but after arriving we quickly decide to up anchor and make our way back to Chester.
Hi, we are Rozzie & Rob with our lovely cockapoo's Ralph & Rosie. We have given up the rat race, sold our house and have bought a new narrowboat, Thistle & Rose. Our vlogs are showing our learns as we go from bricks and mortar to life on the water. Join us as we literally learn the ropes of becoming continual cruisers on England's 2500 miles of canals & rivers.
Our vlogs are ideal if you have ever wondered what it's like to live on a narrowboat or are considering to make the leap and buy yo...

    Such a lovely canal - we cruised to Chester many times. We moored at Anderton so it was a great cruise always. We moored before the lock just before The Old Oak and walked up to Beeston Castle. On the way down the most incredible storm broke and the only cover was a row of oak trees. Once it slowed we made a dash back to the boat. Having dried off and into dry clothes in less than half an hour I have a photo of my John sitting on the towpath cleaning our copper in brilliant sunshine and clear blue sky. You will really love the rest of the cruise to Chester ( our favourite city) Make sure to do the City Walls walk it is fantastic

Between the height standing on the side AND the depth when on Thistle and Rose, they are both claustrophobia AND acrophobia inducing!!! You must be glad they are behind you!

    You really should have reported those kids to the police, while it might be a bit of fun for them - it isn't for everyone else. Your first instinct when you saw them again was to hide your camera equipment which tells us it was more than them just "being kids". The situation was bad enough for you to move on another 3 miles to safety. I feel sorry for the owner of the boat that got boarded by them, must have been frightening, even more so seeing other boaters just leave them to it.

    That’s the great thing about narrow boating, you can just start up and leave when there’s noise or possible trouble. Can’t do that living in a house or flat. In my family we call black pudding, “blood sausage”. I don’t know which is better. We eat ours with cranberry sauce, especially at Christmas. That was one deep lock. Can certainly be scary. Nice cruising with you. Have a good weekend. Cheers!

    If it was a double lock, maybe the people who filled the top lock were a little upset you didn't let them join you going down. Maybe they thought you were wasting water going in on your own. Just a theory. But it is wrong to fill top lock while someone is in bottom lock, bad practice

    Love having this slightly early this week. You seem to have some good weather, too, plus luck with the moorings. It feels to me that something should be posted at that double lock to say dont fill the upper whilst someone and their boat is in the lower. Maybe a strong email to the canal people suggesting revised signage? Anyway, lovely to see you both out and about. Rozzie is looking fit, and I love that she can work and get time to do the running and lock gates. Inspiration to all us lounge-bound hopeful canal goers. Toodle pips!

    We had a very similar instance on the Wigan flight in a 60 foot hire boat. Whoever went up the lock did not fully close the paddle so when we went down it sprayed out at the back of the lock onto our back cruiser stern. It took a while for our crew on the ground to work out what was going on by which time the engine bay was half full of water and the engine had cut out. We survived but to stay it didn’t scare the hell out of us is an understatement. We loved the cruise from Chester to Ellesmere and the walk up to Beeston Castle. The canal museum is so worth the trip.
