That takes me back a bit. Our first time on water in a cruiser from Oundle Marina in 1970 with a year-old boy who we kept firmly clipped to the boat. It was hot and dry all the time and the river was so low that we couldn't get upstream as far as Wellingborough. The locks look a bit more civilised now and I can remember no official moorings, it was all wild, but very beautiful, as it still is.
not sure if I am a t**t or just an idiot ,but me and my el cheapo fibreglass kayak have been many miles,and never ever left any signs i was there ,apart from the odd puddle ,you have had your ears lowered ! jumped in ,weed,jumped out ,sounds like a new water based sport ,never a dull moment ,thanx for the update x get well soon doggo !

P.s you are becoming action man and narrow boat barbi ,if rosie and jim can get a series ,i recon you are destined for Hollywood greatness my friend ,PPs itchy boots is off on her travels again on her Indian royal enfield
Just watched you for the first time. Absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm. Thank you so much. We are considering your lifestyle and love all the information you have given us.. THANK YOU again.
Wow! The scene at 15:04 is gorgeous - it's like a Constable painting come to life! The countryside still looks like the way he depicted it 200 years ago & you captured it with an Iphone! Amazing. Narrowboating would be a wonderful way for plein air artists to ply their craft, wouldn't it. Wake up, motor around for a nice scene to paint, pound down some mooring pins, set up your easel and that's your office for the day. Sigh.
I, being a rather stoggy old gardner/ landlover, really am enjoying my trip with you on the waterway..i doubt that someone on oxygen could do but I will continue to watch..you remind me of some of my favorite people ,long since gone. Keep living the good life. Be looking forward to more......
Just subscribed! Great video but also lovely to see people who are so in love!! Had to laugh tho cos every time u said Nene my Hubby was screaming at the screen "Nen"! Must admit I went to uni there and we were always scolded when we said Nene as we're told it was Nen! For the locals anyway haha! Just off to watch some more now! U really capture the life effortlessly - will defo continue watching! Much love from West Scotland x
Great one that. Many moons ago we lived in a small village outside of Oundle (near Fotheringhay actually) and moored in Oundle Marina. It is indeed a lovely river (when not in flood:-)) and this brought back many, many happy memories. Thank you so much.
Good video thank you Our old lab started having lots of tummy trouble he had not had dog food for about two years, we cook him up rice with boiled chicken and veg, 1 1/2 cups of rice and 4 sainsburies basic chicken portions with veg will last him for 4 days if kept in a fridge. It was a amazing how much better he got once we took him off of the dog food. We sometimes break a raw egg in it to. For his breakfast he has some tined pilchards to help with his old bones, but most days you would think he was still a puppy, you would not think he was an 11 year old lab cross with a pony lol he is a big old boy. My daughters young dog started getting ill so now he is on the rice food to but he is posh he gets uncle bens rice fresh each day. A lot of people I have spoken to say their dogs struggle with dog food, it’s all the additives thar are in them
This is something we will probably end up doing if she keeps having these episodes, I think feeding her the food dry was having to much of a strain on her digestive system. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍
Lewis Gardener good dog food is so processed give dogs all diseases like humans. This is why my 5 year old staffs has been on a barf diet since 7 weeks old
Great, gentle vlog. Thank you. Very enjoyable. Love the way Debbie doesn’t fret when Mark interrupts her sweet flow. This is getting not too far from my neck of the woods. Thank you.
Why would people give you nasty comments. You are so informative on all of your VLOGS. You show extreme love for each other, in everything you do together, reminding me so much of my late wife and myself when we owned a narrow boat
As a Cambridge boy who wants to move onto the canals, I came here to see what the connection from Cambridge to the greater canal network would look like, and I came across this lovely channel.
At long last. A channel set in the least talked about part of the waterway system. What a cheery film- and with that familiar vernacular I hail from. Greetings from HK.
Great video and some fantastic scenery. So glad you got your little dog sorted as it must be a worry not being near a vet when something like this strikes. We have a small motorhome and although our little fella is no longer with us, he was known to lots of vets all across the country. Thank you for sharing.
Great video, makes me think of what a peaceful life it would be on a narrow boat - despite your travails! And glad your lovely BT Bonnie is feeling better - so sad to see her just lying in the grass like that. All the best!
I have no idea why the RUclips algorithm brought up this video to me and to honest the meeting of T.W.A.T.S. intrigued me, so I clicked to watch waiting for the T.W.A.T.S. and conflict....I sure got that wrong! But I could not stop watching it looked idyllic and such a great video to watch. Liked and subscribed....excellent work.
Completely agree with you about the rubbish. On the estate where I used to live, there's a sports field. It started with a couple of broken garden chairs dumped in one corner. Soon after that, a few kitchen cabinets appeared, followed by a three piece suite and then a bathroom suite complete with toilet - looking ready for use! Glad to know Bonnie is better. 😊
So wonderful to be shown the Nene in all its glory, and such useful tips for a not too distant traveler of that waterway, pleased to hear dogs ok, hope the knee eases, almost feel part of the family awaiting the next newsy letter! Safe and happy cruising to you both, Guy
Really enjoyed your video so have subscribed. Your footage is lovely and your commentary gives a real sense of your experience. Thanks for your efforts ...all the best...Chris 🇨🇦
Lovely memories you give me,great watching you in new areas for me,I was only a summer holiday boater with some friends,i was steerman and cook, mainly in the midlands on the NW. definitely watch you again thanks.
Keith Appleton thanks, so pleased to hear our vid brought back narrowboating memories for you. Hopefully in the future will will cruise some of your old routes for a real trip down memory lane👍
We just found you guys and enjoy your vlogs. We're in Wareham Massachusetts in the U.S. and preparing for our adventure on the road, in a new to us, 30' motorhome. Love the narrow boats. Keep up the good work.
Parents were residents on narrow boat at Foxes March, when i visited they took me the other way loved it. I was living on a 30ft narrow boat on the river Medway at the time so was nice to have a change. Take care regards to everyone on the Nene
Hello, new to the channel. Great drone shots. Have been trying to convince the husband into buying a narrow boat. I may have found the perfect videos to convince him. Look forward to seeing more from you both. 💙
That's proper work getting through the locks. Respect for the boaters who have to work them, and to the staff who help whenever they are available. While we all marvel at the tranquil scenes you share to us, you have to hurdle them locks to get to those places. Thank you.
Hi guys. A great video as always. So you were at Wansford. I originate from near Uppingham and from school we used to got to Wansford camping….going on our bikes along the A47....there used to be a campsite for schools and scouts just below the railway....had some good times there. Happy days.
Hello Guys Love the channel and have subscribed. Your photography is fantastic. Just a comment I always gave my dog dry dried food like you and only in the lat 2 months changed to putting warm water on it. Like your dog mine now loves the food. Hope you get a bit of relief on your knee honey. Best wishes and thanks for such fab videos. Anderton lock can't wait to see what happened.
Proper my neck of the woods as work in Orton Southgate. Drive past the moorings by the nene valley railway every morning and often see the boats and think of you guys Then i think I should be looking where im going!!!! Great vid.
I wouldn't be surprised if you receive a request from the tourist board to use your film as part of their promotion , you captured amazing footage of some of the glorious countryside we have , and your film shows it is glorious , thanks for being such graet guides on your journey , it was a pleasure to watch
I was expecting to see one of the downsides to canal cruising but was pleasantly surprised to see that those t w a t s were really very nice people. Lovely vlog pleasure to watch thank you
@Andy Wilderness I mean like they have in England. I wish I had more time (I’m 64 ) in what’s left of my life. Thinking of building a house boat & finding out where the Missouri starts and then to where it ends.
We met some TW,s at Oundle bridge. They were on a Narrow Boat and travelling through the Bridge the wrong way and nearly sunk us in our canoes. Wasnt a pleasant experience. Cheers from George and Jane
Mark you you have one very fast growing beard. One minute outside looking your normal, you go in the boat and suddenly its an inch longer. I guess that's the magic of TV. lol
Have just discovered you! And subbed. Ahh, wish I could cruise, but I'm too poor. Ah well. Anywzys, what I really wanted to say was that I come from that neck of the woods and although I have been in exile in the North East for thirty years I still come "home" every year for hollibobs, usually pitching my little caravan at Ferry Meadows. I can recommend that you have a trip on the Nene Valley Railway (they have beer on board) and spend some time at the Wildlife Haven at the Peterborough end. So lovely and peaceful. loves, Sarah
We sold our touring caravan when we bought the boat, but we had many a happy time at Ferry Meadows site, we are, as we speak, moored up at Orton lake right next to Ferry Meadows, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍
Lovely locations with village's and church's, although I have never been or used a narrow boat it's very inspiring. Thanks for your updates and video clips....
Catherine Wallis Youve watched all 60 🤪😱 we do one every week. We had been doing one every Sunday but as of 2 weeks ago they now go out at 5pm on a Friday
Beautiful scenery , love that you get the basics Wine , Beer & Gin. Very important you stay hydrated ! Do you spend a lot of time planning your route ? Do you wander around the towns at all ? Hope your knee is better soon Debbie , don't over do it 😀
We have online maps and guide books so we mainly plan our cruising around filling up with water and re stocking food and drink. We are normally in and out of towns quite quickly
Excellent vid guys,thanks also for the tutorial on how to use the locks etc, myself and family are on our maiden voyage on a narrowboat, kids are grown up,by the way,on the Kennet,Avon out from Bradford on Avon,in a few weeks time,really looking forward to it,just hope the weather is kind,you never know ,we may bump into you along the way,take care guys cheers
Thanks for a very nice video. From the beginning I noticed the high quality of the photography. I would like to see a video on the narrowboats along the way which were not residential, the sunken boats, commercial freight boats, abandoned boats, hippy boats, and the alternatives to pretty, seamanlike boats such as yours. There are lots of videos about the nice boats, but a video on the rest of the vessels would convey the overall experience of canal life. I just subscribed and hope to see more of your videos. Thanks.
Im sure if you scroll through my vids you will find a selection of different moored boats of all conditions. we don't seem to have passed very many boats of the River Nene compared to the canals.Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍
Great vlog. Will watch these all back as still interested in doing the Nene when I can even though our plans were scuppered due to Covid. I feel your pain Debs, did the knee brace thing earlier this year too. Luckily all sorted now. Mark, get some wild water footwear...then you won't feel the weeds:) hee hee.
Just watch you first time(I am a NB owner for 16 months) and now subscribed, and just decided where next years cruise will be really stunning scenery thanks for a great video
I have watched numerous Narrowboat videos and one thing I noticed so far is the cleanliness of the channels, no litter at all. Here in Canada you can't go anywhere without litter. I kayak and canoe and its a sin to find litter in the most remote areas.
"We stay at some more of the Friends of the River Nene members moorings." .... is this an annual membership fee that you pay? It'a a beautiful mooring, indeed!!! Wonderful share.
Well Deck Diaries He was quoting you, not saying that he stayed at the moorings, thus the quotation marks”. No need for your nasty reply. Just lost a subscriber.😡
I have always thought dried food not enough on its own, dogs don't have those teeth for nothing. Glad you have sense to listen to your faithful hounds. Like your boat too, really fancy trying this lifestyle out for myself and you have made it all the more appealing with your chilled out bank holiday and pimms
Karen Wilkinson We are 5 month on and no more stomach upsets, still slacking the dried food until soft. We had always been told from the vets to feed it dry as it helps to keep their teeth clean as they eat it. Its is a very chilled out life but it still occasionally throws you a curve ball 🎾
lovely vlog , i don't think i'd like to go wild swimming wuth all them reeds about , you can soon get tangled up in them , which can be dangerous , glad to see debs is recovering from her knee problem , & glad to see you remembered the food as well as the wine, gin & beer , hahaha , & glad bonny is ok . thanks for sharing .
It was beautiful, just want to get back though now, but like you pair we've been stationary due to the rain and Strong Stream Warnings, when these are issued some of the locks are chained open to let the flood water through and also the rise in water levels make it impossible to get under some of the bridges
I've returned to the vlog as its probably one of my favourites, showing scenery and lovely the moorings you stayed at. I'm currently moored at the Northampton end of the Nene, but will be making a few trips up and down the nene over the next 8 months. Loving your vlogs, David.
david cadden Cheers, Make sure you register with the EA for flood alerts, via text message and email. That will notify you as to when the SSA strong stream alerts are on. Stay safe👍
Such a storybook life. I started at the beginning of your journey and enjoy each video. Do you ever catch your dinner from the river? I believe this is the prettiest canal I’ve seen you on so far. Love Deb’s beautiful smile and your “Right Nice Pint” makes me very thirsty! 😎. Many blessings to you on your journey.
Thank you! You just build up my interest to go once on narrow boat and travel around that way around your beautiful country!
Thanks ❤️
You two characters are a real pleasure to watch......simply adorable together.
A new fan from the U.S.
Thank you ❤️

@@welldeckdiaries5610 yes i did thanks,very well presented,it will be a great help,kind regards,Colin
Thanks for a very nice video. From the beginning I noticed the high quality of the photography. I would like to see a video on the narrowboats along the way which were not residential, the sunken boats, commercial freight boats, abandoned boats, hippy boats, and the alternatives to pretty, seamanlike boats such as yours. There are lots of videos about the nice boats, but a video on the rest of the vessels would convey the overall experience of canal life. I just subscribed and hope to see more of your videos. Thanks.
Im sure if you scroll through my vids you will find a selection of different moored boats of all conditions. we don't seem to have passed very many boats of the River Nene compared to the canals.Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍
Beautiful scenery! Colors in this video are outstanding. I just subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Take care!
Thanks for the sub!
Great drone shots 😁
Thanks
Great vlog. Will watch these all back as still interested in doing the Nene when I can even though our plans were scuppered due to Covid. I feel your pain Debs, did the knee brace thing earlier this year too. Luckily all sorted now. Mark, get some wild water footwear...then you won't feel the weeds:) hee hee.
Aqua socks are on my shopping list
That's the nicest narrowboat I've seen, period!!!!!
Just watch you first time(I am a NB owner for 16 months) and now subscribed, and just decided where next years cruise will be really stunning scenery thanks for a great video
Brian Rees Thanks, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it 👍
Lovely vlog brilliant drome usage you are becoming one of my favourite narrow boaters to follow
Thanks 👍
What nice people! Very entertaining video.
Thank you Wayne
I'm glad you are ok Deb. And Bonnie too. :) Beautiful scenery!!!
It was beautiful, cant wait to get back there one year
Dam another narrowboat Chanel keep it up the good drone footage
Cheers
Thanks 👍
Oooh you got me !! settled down to watch you having a barny with some plastic hull raiders lol ;)
👍
I have watched numerous Narrowboat videos and one thing I noticed so far is the cleanliness of the channels, no litter at all. Here in Canada you can't go anywhere without litter. I kayak and canoe and its a sin to find litter in the most remote areas.
Its worse in the cities
very new to narrowboating and corrr blimmy you have been an inspiration! keep up the great great videos!
that's nice to know👍
"We stay at some more of the Friends of the River Nene members moorings." .... is this an annual membership fee that you pay? It'a a beautiful mooring, indeed!!! Wonderful share.
If you stay at the moorings then I assume you are a member and will be able to answer your own question, as these are members only moorings😁
Well Deck Diaries He was quoting you, not saying that he stayed at the moorings, thus the quotation marks”. No need for your nasty reply. Just lost a subscriber.😡
Viewing from San Bernardino, Calif. Love your PS shirt. Enjoying our cooler weather here, so catching up on yardwork. Happy Narrow Boating!
Thanks 👍
I have always thought dried food not enough on its own, dogs don't have those teeth for nothing. Glad you have sense to listen to your faithful hounds. Like your boat too, really fancy trying this lifestyle out for myself and you have made it all the more appealing with your chilled out bank holiday and pimms
Karen Wilkinson We are 5 month on and no more stomach upsets, still slacking the dried food until soft. We had always been told from the vets to feed it dry as it helps to keep their teeth clean as they eat it. Its is a very chilled out life but it still occasionally throws you a curve ball 🎾
So beautiful. Such a perfect spot. Your videos are super. So gorgeous.
Thank you so much!
Hiya Best wishes and health for the New year xx
Thanks, same to you too x
It's not a hut, it's a signal box! 😂 Hope your dog's ok.
lovely vlog , i don't think i'd like to go wild swimming wuth all them reeds about , you can soon get tangled up in them , which can be dangerous , glad to see debs is recovering from her knee problem , & glad to see you remembered the food as well as the wine, gin & beer , hahaha , & glad bonny is ok . thanks for sharing .
I did attempt the swimming but freaked out when I felt the weeds around my legs 😂
Looking forward to doing the Nene (if we ever move again). Looks fab. x
It was beautiful, just want to get back though now, but like you pair we've been stationary due to the rain and Strong Stream Warnings, when these are issued some of the locks are chained open to let the flood water through and also the rise in water levels make it impossible to get under some of the bridges
@@welldeckdiaries5610 looks like we'll be turning around as levels ahead keep rising. Grrrrrrrr.
Very nice.You are far more adventurous with your drone than we are with ours.
Ha Ha, Ive yet to lose one, opps shouldn't have said that
Charming video and beautiful couple. Thanks for making my Covid lockdown a little more bearable :)
Our pleasure!
We stocked up on "the essentials"... woin, beer, gin... oh, and we bought some food. :-)
😂🤣
I've returned to the vlog as its probably one of my favourites, showing scenery and lovely the moorings you stayed at.
I'm currently moored at the Northampton end of the Nene, but will be making a few trips up and down the nene over the next 8 months.
Loving your vlogs, David.
david cadden Cheers, Make sure you register with the EA for flood alerts, via text message and email. That will notify you as to when the SSA strong stream alerts are on. Stay safe👍
Outstanding vlog I like your priorities ..wine, beer , gin ....food
Cheers🍺
Such a storybook life. I started at the beginning of your journey and enjoy each video. Do you ever catch your dinner from the river? I believe this is the prettiest canal I’ve seen you on so far. Love Deb’s beautiful smile and your “Right Nice Pint” makes me very thirsty! 😎. Many blessings to you on your journey.
I'm the worlds worst fisherman so the only fish we get is from the supermarket 🤣
great to see some clean water
It sure is
Yet again you have now made us want to go on the Nene. Towpath tucker sounds like an Aussie saying.
Its is beautiful, and very under used
Excellent vlog. I stumbled across your channel after watching your superb lock operating explanations. New subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
Lovely seeing my local area from the river.
Glad you enjoyed it👍
