We ESCAPE back onto the canal in our tiny home | Our Narrowboat life
Hi again
It's us, Paul and Lindsay of Locks and landscapes bringing you our latest narrowboat video on our journey around the UK canal waterways on our canal boat.
As you all know we sold our house in London and bought a narrowboat to live off grid and continuous cruise on our Narrowboat INGA .
Join us here with some of the daily fun and giggles we have and some of the
struggles.
This week on our canal boat join us as we head out back onto the canal and continue our off grid lifestyle. We give our narrowboat lithium batteries their first test. Paul gives our narrowboat engine a service and our tiny home heads for Foxton locks.

Thank you for a cracking vid
Great to see you both, a slice of real life,starring real people! ....MAN OVERBOARD!!!!
So gutted I didn’t see him in the water 💦 camera would defo have come out 🤣
Hi Paul I know you sometimes you mention fishing I was wondering do you just fish of the barge or of the towpath. I had a holiday on a barge somewhere years ago and was told you can fish anyware if you are sat on the barge but to sit on the towpath you require permission of the fishing club that has the fishing rights 😊
Love watching you both, I can understand the feeling of being cooped up in the marina, but at least you got the jobs done. Now you are free again for us to see your journey xx
It was so good to see you both on Saturday. Please could you film yourself cleaning the boat next time? How deep was the water? xxx
Banter is alive and well after the break. How's Dad Lindsay? So good you are back resume chuckles. So natural and normal! Dogs look happy with the roof bed!
Ah, another wonderful vlog. Where to even start with the praise for this one? 😅 Firstly though, I’m sorry to hear that your dad is ill again, Lindsey. Wishing him all the best in his recovery. I was also shocked to hear that you have never turned left on the canals before! You’ve missed so much; there’s a whole world of navigation awaiting you on the left 😋 Paul, your editing and musical choices are sublime on this one. That segment before you enter the tunnel was amazing. The segue into the music, and the cuts to the beats, was 👌🏼 Roll on the next :)
Another wonderful video guys, you two have us in stitches.
Aw so glad you enjoyed it ☺️ X
Just had our lithium fitted by Pro Electrical, great guys and what a professional job. Game changer. No need to worry about running heating when water is hot, the thermostat will ensure temp levels. Great vlog. Enjoy your winter cruising xx
So glad you're back, I am so sorry to hear Lindsay's dad has had another stroke, Hopefully he's better now 🤞your 2 grand children are such lovely looking lads and a few trips on your boat maybe they will get into canal life when they're older. Happy cruising xx
Just love watching you both bounce off each other, one of the best canal blogs around.
Wow, thank you! So glad you are enjoying them as much as we are making them xx ☺️
Yet another great video….. don’t leave it as long…!!! Ohhh table looks fabulous 😊
Thank you ! We love to hear what people love about the videos so thanks for sharing. And yes the table is fab! ☺️
Hi both I also suffer with chronic IBS and after many years of pain went back to Drs to them finally prescribing 10mg Amitriptyline every night which please believe me has changed my life living with chronic IBS please please try it x
Ah bless those boys are so cute 😅
We are biased but yes they are adorable and so funny 😹 xx
You have beautiful grandsons. I wanted to see the ruby finished, love a good ruby 😊
Next time! I will show you my recipe We do love a curry 🥰
Your video editing is brilliant as is your channel. Good to see you back! 😊 Howard. Oh I meant to add, they are not long enough 😊
Thanks so much! 😊 we love to hear from everyone about how they think the videos are going! But I think 25 mins is long enough for anyone to sit watching our bonkers conversation 🤣 If you hit the subscribe button we can keep you updated when the new videos are out xx
What great memories those boys are going to have with you😁 Glad to see you’re back to travelling!
They are! It was so lovely having them stay 🥰 Thanks for taking the time to comment as we love to hear from everyone and if you hit the subscribe button we can keep you updated when the new videos are out xx
This episode reminded us of when we were near Aynho, on the Oxford canal, many years ago. Our two sons were into Neighbours, the aerial (yes, it was that long ago!) needed adjusting . . . and you can guess what happened. He went right under, and it was extremely muddy, but somehow he managed to pull himself up and out. Our boys told every boat that passed what their dad had done! The canal in Winter is as wonderful as in the Summer, but different, you might want to change your gin to rum or scotch 😉 Thanks for the never disappointing vlogs, keep em coming!
I bet they loved telling everyone that story 🤣🤣 I’m just so gutted I didn’t see hi or I would have defo had the camera out 🤣🤣 Glad you are enjoying the videos as much as we are making them. If you hit the subscribe button we can keep you up to date with new vlogs as they come out xx
Fabulous to see you back 😀
Thank you! 😊 Fabulous to see your comments ☺️
Good to see you back 😊 never seen you make breakfast it's always Lindsay in that kitchen! Hope your dad's ok. Hope you showered after falling in the canal it's grim in there 😅 shame we didn't see it happen need a laugh 😂 boats looking good. Will you be coming up north? x
He does do some cooking 🧑🍳 and is in fact a good cook! Dad is doing okay! He keeps bouncing back thankfully 😅 and yes we should be making our way north over winter to keep watching ,, if you hit the subscribe button we can let you know when the new vids are out so you can keep up to date where we are xx
@locksandlandscapes I already subscribe since the beginning. 😊
You dont half confuse people with your bickering. But occasionally you give each other that look which speaks volumes. Wonderful vid. Look forward to more.❤
Oh thank you! We don’t mean to confuse you but we just can’t help it ! We confuse ourselves most of the time 🤣 If you hit the subscribe button we can let you know when the new videos come out xx
Ah your grandsons are adorable . Glad you got to spend some time with them Safe travels. Ps there's a nice Spoons in Market Harb 😅
Yes they are amazing 😻 and loves having them here. Spoons ticked off list this morning thanks 🤣 Xx
Must have just missed you 😅@locksandlandscapes
Good to see you both! Loving your vlogsx❤

No worries running Webasco after engine
Don’t worry I tested the theory without realising it 🤣🤣
:)

@@pamelarichards7122 oh you really didn’t offend anyone 🥰 Xx
Wonderful. I especially liked the pictures with the music, quick firing and yes what a lovely day on the boat. I had my jumper on the wrong way round the other day as well, didn’t feel right so I stripped off and turned it around, the man walking his dog in the field gave me a lovely smile when we passed ! 😅
Paul is so thorough with the details to the editing he loved it! I didn’t even see he had it the wrong way round 🤣🤣 Bad luck to change it round apparently 🍀🤣 So glad you are enjoying the videos and taking the time to comment. If you hit the subscribe button we can let you know when the new videos are coming out xx
Up to Market Harborough w/c 25th we will keep a lookout and say hi if we see you. 👍🏼don’t worry about running the Webasto after the engine the thermostat will do its job. 😎
Oh yes we should still be there so please say Hi 😁 If you hit the subscribe button we can let you know where we are for future ☺️ Xx

Well Watching your video I was pondering if to Subscribe ?? Then I saw Brian's YorkyPud and Boom I'm in LOL 👌 Great channel guys I'm a YT'r too with a similar freedom life style but my adventure boat has wheels 😋🚐 But I'm planning on life on the water in about 5 years time Good Luck looking forward to following you adventures Both ATB Stephen n Skye 🐕
Welcome aboard! ☺️
Lindsay you're beautiful. Dont listen to him 😂😂
I actually have to agree with him 🤣🤣 Now I’ve seen Brain May I can’t I can’t unsee it now 🎸😆 I will be wearing a hat from now on 😉
😂@locksandlandscapes just style it out 😂.
Sooo,how'd the football go?
Forgot to say let us all know if you ever get a PO Box for vlog followers. I’d love to send a Tennessee cap if you ever do.
Oh wow that would be so cool !! Alexa how do I get a PO Box 😆
@@locksandlandscapes ROFL
@@SusaninTennessee I had to ask Alexa that too 🤣
Another great vlog. So glad you guys got the new batteries before winter sets in. Hate for you to have gotten stuck in the cold on a freezing cold canal. Also impressive job on the painting.
Aw lovely to know you care ☺️ And thanks but the rain keep spoiling things 🌧️
@@locksandlandscapes Bummer. If it's anything like East Tennessee as we head into the winter it should clear up in about 5 months : )
@@SusaninTennessee yeah then we have April showers 🌧️ So no change there 😆
If you have the power to run a microwave you can wash your jars then microwave them for 1 minute to kill the germs :)
Oh Keep watching as we don’t have power to run a microwave atm but maybe soon ☺️
Hey you two . That bread and toad in the hole looked yummy Lyndsey. Battery bank looked great all nice and tidy. Looks like you are enjoying the marina ❤
Lindsay does do a good job with the cooking 🧑🍳 And batteries are fab ! Can’t wait to be back out on the cut tho 😁
Well done Paul. Beautiful job done on the boat. Your toad in the hole looked delicious Lindsay. Great video. Hope all your dreams come true with your new batteries.
Thanks ☺️
So look forward to your videos , we are possibly jumping from our 32 foot to a 60foot bit scared for the size and steering
Oh how cool It will be fine If I can do it anyone can ! Although Paul might disagree 🤣
My first thought was Orac from Blakes 7 when I saw the new batteries :) showing my age.
Oh yeah ! My mum and dad used to talk about B7 😉😆
Does brian do requests .?
On tour very soon 🤣
Brian 😂
😂
Great stuff as usual. Love Buddy ❤
Oh so do we 🥰❤️ Thanks xx
Utter crack up. Live you guys 😂
Thanks 😁
And on that note 😂😂, i'll you to it , thanks brian may for the video
Thanks 🤣
Excellent, love the workmanship in that 'Toad in the Hole' stunning job, not Brian can't stand him you be you Lindsay! Nice grafting, Paul and you got a dog section in for me!
Glad you enjoyed it! I certainly did 😆
Hey great video. You keep saying about Lindsey working but what is her job? X
Thanks ☺️ She works in healthcare
It would be good for others if you stated cost of the install, cost of the battery?? how you are charging from the engine as lifepo4 will pull everything your alternator can give until the bms cuts off the batteries, what protection is in place, have you a single alternator via a vsr or dc to dc charger??? certainly not sure you want to run the lifepo4 to 0%!!! Most suppliers state 80% SOC??
Hi Tony thanks for the comment. The battries will indeed take everything you can throw at them in terms of charge, the kit contains an alternator control unit which monitors charge/ temps and modifies when needed, i think dc to dc is the outdated way to use litiums with an alternator. Of course you don't want to run the batteries down to 0% you would then have no power, the point is you can and the battries would not be harmed if you did, I'm not sure what you mean when you say state of charge 80%? the optimum?
@locksandlandscapes so what was the cost of the installation and cost of the unit???
@@locksandlandscapes Cell manufacturers state an increased cycle life if you only use 80% of the capacity. I tend to leave that at the bottom end by only taking down to 20% or 12.8v because it is actually quite difficult to control level of charge at the top end to anything short of almost completely full particularly where you have varying charge sources such as solar and you also need to go into the top level of charge for the balancer to work correctly. I imagine you have a BMS with an active balancer. The best value ones these days seem to be the JK ones. The lithium profile on the Victron solar controllers is actually not ideal as it holds the batteries at 14.2v for two hours when in fact a cut off after a few minutes is quite adequate and kinder to the batteries which would otherwise be being 'low voltage overcharged'. The damage this does is not immediately obvious but is more of a gradual degradation in capacity and it really gives very little extra capacity as, when they reach 14.2v the battery is very nearly full at the sort of charge rates you will be likely to be using.
