- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- With the gap in the weather holding, we take our chance on the River Avon and make the long scary journey from Bath to Bristol Harbour. We take on a sunken boat, washed up sandbanks, and an almost-blocked lock, to reach the end of the Kennet & Avon! 🌊⚓

As a Bristol born n bred lass, with dreams of a narrowboat, this vlog made me a bit emosh! I'm such a sap! Love, love, love your vlogs! May see you on the high seas one day! 😄
I stumbled across this Vlog/blog a few weeks ago, and now I am hooked. Two people with what I think are opposite personalities who mesh together beautifully. I am envious of Amy’s eclectic tastes, but at someone about to turn 70, I could never pull them off. I am living vicariously through you two adventuresome young people. Enjoy every moment!
Again, another vlog that makes me smile. You pair are sure to raise my spirits.
Thank you for posting. 🎉
Always enjoy You two and your adventures. I follow you on a big map of the canals. I’m an old great granny but I really appreciate you putting these videos up so I can join you on your journey.
Perfect….my beautiful Bristol. I lived there for a few years and my first born came into the world there. A wonderful city. Great vlog :)
ah we loved it so much! ❤️
Wow, Fabulous to see you having such fun and what a gorgeous trip. Thanks for sharing x
Amazing, I have no words your faces said it all... xxx
So glad you have posted been hanging out so thank you for this episode may there been many more
More to come don’t worry 🥰
I'm living vicariously through you two. I would have loved to do this in my younger years, but something always got in the way. Now I have you both to take me narrow boating. Safe travels!
You have to put Liverpool on the bucket list. It's amazing
Favourite vlog so far. Thank you.
Awesome thank you guys. Bristol has a beautiful harbour. The SS Great Britain used to do the voyage from the UK to Australia carrying passengers and wool.
I enjoyed EVERY minute of that!!! Wow!!!
Absolutely brilliant episode. I might have to cruise that way and commandeer my next vessel. 😊 I'm so happy you have settled into boat life and part of the family. X
What a wonderful day! I am so impressed with how far you both have come. I would love to have a conversation with Wes at the beginning of your adventures (almost a year and a half ago) regarding today's cruise and whether or not he would do it. I am sure he would have had a much different response than today's mild trepidation and almost excitement. Well done to the both of you. Now I am looking forward to your adventures in the city!
Thank you!! We both absolutely loved the harbour cruise, it was a real core memory!
I totally agree! I’ve definitely gotten braver with stuff like this, and almost at the point of being excited! Thank you so much for the kind words, and the fact you noticed it means a lot! 🥰 (Wes) x
Love watching you guys.....such adventures.........enjoy xxxxxx
Hi guys, I absolutely loved this video. If ever wez is feeling anxious I will send him a big mummy hug. Love to the 4 of you god bless ❤❤❤❤
So glad I had your lovely vlog to watch should have been in hospital having a new knee but it got cancelled last minute you cheered me up thank you xxx
At the beginning of our journey, I think I’m where Wes was at the beginning of yours. It really helped to watch this episode and realise that everything is possible and an adventure. Thanks guys.
That was amazing. We did something similar on the River Clyde to Glasgow . So exciting. Well done xxxx
Bath born and bred - Learnt to sail a dingy on the River Avon at Salford! Just ahead of that lock by the pub!
Have had a narrow boat “holiday life” as my In-laws had a narrowboat for a while. We did this exact journey to Bristol Harbour Festival one year and it’s bring back wonderful memories.
Please do keep an eye out for canal boat “Totty” - 40ft - last seen on the K&A at Foxhangers and “Indulgence” 60Ft (i think)! Happy days! Good times!!
Hopefully again one day!
Your best adventure yet! Awesome!
So. Love Love watching you guys. You're a beautiful couple. I'm from Cordova md.
That`s one of the best canal boat trips I`ve seen on youtube and what a location for chips on the roof :)
Wow, thank you so much! ☺️ the perfect ending!
Look how far you have come grand vlog be proud of yourselves all our best the oldies 🥰🥰🌟🌟
So good to see you enjoying my hometown of Bristol. I still consider it my home despite living in West Australia since 1969. It always makes me excited to see beautiful Bristol Harbour. Enjoy all the Bristol sites.
Great video thanks guys
Don't forget to change your secondy fuel filter....The one you drained the water out of ..Before it gives you trouble thanks again 😊
Wow that was awesome. A real epic adventure. 😊
Great adventures, your smiling faces brighten up RUclips!
Woo hoo!! Another great adventure. You two truly know the meaning of ‘teamwork’!!
Congratulations on a wonderfully successful trip!! Thanks for sharing your adventures, I look forward to seeing more!
I love seeing you two living your best lives! When rocking chair time comes for you, you will know you did it your way! What memories you will share and enjoy. Go on with it!!
Love watching your journeys thanks so much for sharing
Epic voyage guys but we'll worth it😉 I love Bristol waterfront day and night. Hope you four are well and not been sea sick yet lol🤣 lots of love as always xxxx
Great vlog guys! Wes don’t half make me laugh! Great job lisa xx❤
what a fantastic vlog. Your vlogs are always realistic. all the ups & downs of narrow boat life. This one was extra special, I could really feel the excitement. Thank you for including the harbour tour & the excitement of it all. It was especially great to see the harbour with tall ship replicas. I am in Australia & a family tree researcher & some of my ancestors left that harbour in the early to mid 1800s for the 3month journey to Australia. Unfortunately some spent months on ships in the harbour too, on the prison hulks. I am sure the harbour would not have looked that glamorous then though either. keep up the great vlogs.
Started watching you on the Erewash canal where I grew up and swam in the canal as a kid, and this episode is Bristol where I live now and got married on the SS Great Britain. Nice…
If I'd of known you were coming to Bristol I'd of came over to say hi 😅. I'm glad you enjoyed our city, even if it was just for the night. Great video
Never seen my hometown from the river, its a beauty, and that big wooden boat called The Matthew, i helped build that when i was a kid in school lol
Amy and Wes what a great vlog, you both worked well together to get to the harbour. Make sure you don't sale across the ocean to France 😂have a great couple days. ❤😊
Bunny got life Jacket to haha
Such a lovely vlog! Loved this, so nice to see the beautiful sunset as you arrived and how happy you were to be there 🥰
Amazing video! Well done guys. I love your channel and your adventures!
I was fast getting this one watched, eager beaver! Another great vlog. Loving your travels and you two, you’re addictive to watch!! Have a great time.
Aw yay! Thank you Cara! 🌞💓 glad you enjoyed it!!
WOW, Brill X🐰x
Amazing and exciting video!!!! Well done you two.
Hey there Amy, I’m not sure if someone answered your question about what the “S” shapes were on some of the canal bridges, BUT.,,it/they are Masonry Wall Ties.
It’s a long metal rod that goes through the bridge from one side to the other, held in place by the “S” that’s attached to both the rod and the bridge. This supports the bridge and it ties the structure together. The rod part is hidden within the structure.
It’s pretty clever when you think about it. And it makes sense when you understand what they are doing.
I think that the “S” is called the Anchor Plate that is attached to a Tie Rod.
Some other canal bridges have the same thing , but with anchor plates shaped like a big “X” and others have circular shaped plates that look a LOT like nipples.
If you google S shaped anchor plate and/or Masonry wall ties, you will find lots of information and LOTS of images of ALL the different shapes 🙂
You also see these in brick walls and on the outsides of brick houses.
As the FengShui dude says -
And now you know 🤣
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Well done you two
It is good to see the life jackets on.
Had them on for the tidal waters yes!😊
This was such a great adventure. I loved seeing how excited you were at having accomplished it and your celebration at the end was very fitting. I got hooked on your vlog quickly because you're so real, showing us the good days and bad. Every vlog is a new adventure and I look forward to many more of your adventures!!
That was brilliant 👍👍
Well Done Guys
Loved this episode guys!!! You are both such an inspiration to us :) Looking forward to meeting soon xx
That’s so lovely of you to say, thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Will be seeing you soon I’m sure!! Xx
@@BoatTime we binged loads of your episodes last night ✨✌️❤️ you two are so much fun!! Can’t wait to meet x
Wow amazing video 😊thank you
Great Trip have Fun
What an awesome adventure with beautiful Bristol Harbour your destination. The excitement and happiness you exuded was heartwarming 💕 great video as always.
What a brilliant vlog,that trip looked amazing. Steve now wants to do that 😊 x
so cool!!!
Brilliant video, so nice to see the smiles on your faces 😊
I’ve visited Bristol quite a few times over the last few years…walked around that harbour alot and up on the hill in the park overlooking SS Great Britain, but it must have been awesome from water level! 😌🙏
It's so strange seeing you come through Bristol because I lived there for 6 months just before I bought my boat and spent a lot of time near the canal. I lived near Netham Park next to the canal and walked Bertie along there every day. Strange that I'm no longer there anymore but you're cruising through. 😊
Wow! Absolutely loved this vlog. It's nice having the remote spots, but then having the option to experience this too. Yous are truly living, and getting to explore so much 😊
We miss boat life!
Bec and Nick xxx
Amy, Wes, what an amazing adventure you are having. I was on the edge of my seat once you hit tidal waters. Great video and well done. Rufus looked cute when he was asleep on the stern. Dupes, is as cute as ever.Take care.
Wow what a great cruise at sunset around the harbour. Bristol looks like a beautiful city. You both did really well on the tidal river. I bet it was fun to do with your friends too. Take care. Nick
AMAZING! Well done guys! LOVED the final shot of you eating your chips on the roof, perfect! 💜💚💜
Fun vlog! Thanks :)
Thank you too! 🥰
Well done. That was a fantastic journey to Bristol Harbour. You were both so confident, which was great tobsee. You should be really proud of yourselves. Can't wait for the next episode.
What a fabulous adventure, always good to do something new. Great vlog looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏
Was so worth the trip! Thank you so much for watching! ☺️🎉
How beautiful was this adventure. ❤ I love seeing the tall ships. Very jealous 😊😊😊
Glad you enjoyed! 🥰🥰
@@BoatTime always. 🥰🥰🥰
We agree Bristol is great. Had a hireboat from Bradford on Avon bar far the best bit was going into the harbour brilliant experience.
Happy happy, joy joy!❤❤
Yay!!! 😍😍
💜💙💚
Hi guys another fun filled video and full of content and well informed video stay safe out there with your dog and rabbit from the uk👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it 🌞
We noticed the amount of rubbish in your canals when we did the Brecons circa 2003. Came as a bit of a shock from clean old Aotearoa such disregard for the countryside in Wales..and it seems most other areas of the UK.
Love your vlogs though.
Some areas are better than others for sure. It’s a shame when you see it we agree ☹️ but it’s not everywhere at least and we try and do our bit when we can!
That “actual ship” is called The Thekla and is a night club!!!
Turn right out of Bristol up the Severn to Gloucester docks.
That's scary.
haha yeah don't think we are quite ready for that yet
Hello, I’m miss Hoolie, what’s your name? Don’t I know you?
Oh yes, of course, hello Rufus.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕
Hi, why dont the canal peeps remove the sunken boat and the tree? Just wondered.
When you're watching the vlog of you going under the low bridge and you duck. I felt such a twat!
How long does it take from ss great Britain to Bathampton on your boat
Probably around 10-12 hours straight cruising! But we did it in two days 😊
@Boat Time wow ok thanks for letting me know
That was great, your best adventure yet!
