Crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Roz has a little meltdown over the height then we finally finish our journey into Llangollen going through the stunning 'narrow's'.
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 your very own narrowboat. There's always some humour, lots of mistakes and always a few drinks being poured. Subscribe to our channel, ask us a question or just watch our videos as there's something for everyone.

That was FABULOUS as always! Thanks for sharing the joy! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻🥰
What a brilliant vlog! Scary moments at the start followed by lots of beautiful scenery. I loved it. Thanks guys x
It really was scary! But the views were stunning. Thanks for watching ☺️
Great job steering thru the narrow canals Rob, the toe path looked wider than the canal lol Roz looked like you needed a few pints after crossing the aqua duct my stomach lurched just from watching can’t imagine being there. Absolutely amazing views like boating thru a park❤️
Thank you. If it hadn't have been so early in the morning I probably would have had one! 🍻😂. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Fantastic blog and fantastic scenery. Have been to Llangollen a few times but never along the canal. The steam railway is worth doing ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! You must walk the canal next time! Beautiful! Thanks for watching ☺️
Aww, poor Rozzie! Glad you made it unscathed. 😊
I'd say Llangollen for a month in the winter (providing you can hook up) could be a joyous experience. ❄️🏔️👍 Liz
Thanks Liz, We're definitely going back for the winter when there will be snow on the hilltops! Thanks for watching 🍻🥰
Thank you for sharing your beautiful trip with us.
Thanks for watching ☺️
oh I'd die...😂..my legs went weak watching.. great vlog
Yeah pretty scary! But the views were spectacular! After I got over my anxiety! Thanks for watching ☺️
Mine too! Made my stomach churn! Such a narrow wall on the side! 😵💫😱😳🤯. Great work both of you! I felt for you Rozzie!
Thank you ☺️
this just came up on my feed, we had a narrow boat for few years, started off with a small cruiser , we kept them on the River Wey, fablous time on them , friend wanted to come wth us, was few years ago, so many laughs ,
What lovely memories! Hope you’d enjoyed the video, thanks for watching ☺️
Thank you for a wonderful video, we hope to be there in Sept. And you gave the best view of the canal we’ve ever seen .hope you show the return trip as well. Keep on doing what you do thanks again.
There is a little, watch out for our next video. Thanks for watching ☺️ hope you have a lovely trip
good vid cranking it on the cut on you channel thanks lee
Cheers Lee 👍🏼☺️
Beautiful footage, stunning scenery and hearing the birds sing their little hearts out was a treat.
Thank you so much for watching ☺️
I've caught up with you at last watch ten in a row wow what a lovely canal you're vlogs have got better over the years and you can tell how well you both get on with each other ❤keep up the great vlogs 🎉
Thank you! Welcome back! ☺️
That canal is just stunning, although pretty sure i couldn't do the aqueduct.
The height is pretty scary but the scenery is worth it! Thank you for watching ☺️
Fabulous vlog thank you. We crewed for friends on a hire boat last year and unfortunately, it was quite an old boat and although we were experienced boaters it was only 5 feet longer than we were used to it was not an easy boat to steer. We missed so much of the scenery and very conscious of the fact that our friends were up for'rd and got all the bumps. We had actually visited Llangollen the year before by car and loved it especially Horse Shoe Falls. I would love to cruise it again but on a shorter ore modern boat . We have some fab photos of the trip anyway and as a person like Roz I was amased at myself going over the aqueduct . I even took photos ( but NOT over the very edge 😛) Really great to see it all again thank you
Awh bless, sounds a tad stressful. Hope you get to do it again soon!
It is a beautiful canal!
Thank you for watching ☺️
I’m with you on this Roz, not sure that I could do the height with that shear drop either 😳
It was pretty hairy! My anxiety was at an all time high! But the views were spectacular! Thanks for watching ☺️
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching ☺️
Roz i think you were very brave on the viaduct, i would have to have gone in the cabin as i am afraid of heights. Well done.
I think a lot of people do, even walking over it isn't for the faint hearted! Thanks for watching.👍🏻🥰
Stunning really doesn't do it justice as you say. Bouts of canal and lifestyle envy coming on, and thoughts of a retirement location, too! Your blog is now our go-to place countryside and lifestyle viewing delight. Enjoy your stay (and pints and vino) you deserve them. Give the hounds a pet and treats from us - there's an idea, have a buy us a bag of treats button on your site 🙂
Thanks for the lovely comment 🥰 and good top tip, we'll be adding that! 😁👍🏻.
Awwh! I know how awful that feels. Your head swims and your palms sweat. A thought: In my salad days I climbed 90 foot oil tanks. I stood atop road tank wagons without rails. No sweat. Then you were born and after that I could barely look downstairs without feeling dizzy. So who inherited this thing from whom?? Mum XXXX
It was a sweaty palm feeling Mum! And now I get what you feel! 💖
You were incredibly brave back in the day! Love you xx
Glad it wasn't to windy when you were doing the crossing.Look very scary but worth it.When you got to the end it looked lovely. 😊
It was nerve wracking! But well worth it! Thanks for watching ☺️
Hi Aye Up and Fit Like. Great video again. Loved the wee meltdown before the aquaduct. 😂
Fit like! Or aye min! Heehee! Thank you for watching ☺️
If the rooster doesn't wake you, the blunderbuss sure will.
The idea for that came from being moored outside a farm with a rooster! and at 4am I really wished I had the blunderbuss! 😂
@@thenarrowboatgoodlife I just thought it funny that the solution to the rooster noise involved an even louder noise from the blunderbuss. With the blunderbuss, it's a one-and-done, well depending on your aim, whereas the rooster is an on-and-on, so I completely understand.
I also follow Ben and Emily and pore Emily was on the floor when crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
Oh dear! You definitely need a strong head for heights!
Thanks ☺️
I also don’t like heights, I once froze when I went up a tower at a viewpoint in the Netherlands, my wife at the time punched me in the stomach to distract me and get me back down, painful solution but it worked 😂
Ouch!!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Wow - when was this - we went over and back 4 times June 6/7 and it was absolutely freezing up there - no short sleeves for us ! NB The Witch of Agnesi
It was 11th May! So you were on there today?! It’s 7th June!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Xx
Thanks for watching ☺️
Superb vlog! Love Llangollen, sone cracking back street pubs. Roz, worry about about the meltdown. I walk mountains and I struggled to walk across the Ponty. Had to just look straight ahead and said nothing to my walking companion. Contrary to years ago when on a family holiday a fearless 13 year old went across on the running board on the drop side - can't believe my mum and dad let me do it. Thanks Colin
Hey Colin! Strange how age affects us! My mum has said something similar!
Do you remember the names of any of the pubs? We are returning to Llangollen in winter and would love any recommendations.
Thanks for watching ☺️
@@thenarrowboatgoodlife The Sun up on the A5 is good for real ale and has some quality music on at weekends. Sadly I notice from the interweb that The Ponsonby is closed. Further out The Sun at Trevor is lovely and another Sun Inn at Rhewl (nice walk) is a tiny rural pub. Wonder why there are so many Sun Inns in the area.
Thank you so much! We will definitely try them ☺️
Does the boat keep self centered on its own on the narrow parts of the canal.
No, you have to continually keep it straight with the tiller. Especially on the llangollen canal as there's a flow to the water. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Loved this vlog, stunning views and scenery. Must be terrifying on the edge like that! We was all booked for 16 of us to go to Llangollen but it was all cancelled due to Covid hoping to all get there next year xx
That's a real shame! Hopefully you'll get there as it's really is an amazing journey into Llangollen. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🥰
