I had an accounting prof (twice), who started off each semester with, "When you're working on a balance sheet for hours and hours and it still won't balance, stop, go to the fridge, slam down 5 beers as fast as you can. It still won't balance, but you won't care." :-)
Dude! I happened upon CBD on BBC4 last week, watched all 4 episodes on the iPlayer, and was *just* saying to my girlfriend how I’m gutted I couldn’t see any more of them. Then found your channel! Great times. Keep it up :)
After "Diaries" series 5, I'm gradually working my way (backwards) through your videos. I thought I had watched a fair few so hopefully I'll meet myself in the middle at some point. You deserve a gold medal for sure. Weed-Master!! Well done 🙂
That was me on Saturday :)) Ran aground & every time I tried to pole her off, the wind blew me back. People passing on the towpath said "aren't you strong" and "It must be a lovely relaxing life" Just as well you can't buy a gun here :))
Loving the new series, Robbie. Thank you so much. Not only wonderful entertainment but I am learning a lot about our country. My maternal grandfather was a bargee in Birmingham in the early part of the twentieth century and although I've never been on a narrow boat I love anything to do with canals and narrow boats. Listening to your comments about your lifestyle and your young lady and the dichotomy it presents, can I give you this advice? I lost my darling wife and soul mate two years ago and I have been a lost soul ever since. We had twenty five wonderfully happy years together and I am so grateful. I even had to fly to Ireland, I who had never previously left these shores, to be with her, even having to leave a needy and blackmailing mother. I am here to tell you that the most important thing you can have in your life is the love and companionship of a wonderful partner. Love is the most important thing you can have. Shalom.🐨
A rare treat on a Tuesday evening.....a double helping of RC. No sooner watched CBD on BBC and up.popoed your notification. I'm going for a lie down in a darkened room
Not often someone lets you see them in despair, but there is always hope that it will pass, and it does! Thank you for your honesty; there needs to be more of that. Superman is after all, only a drawing.
Discovered narrow boating last year when we hired one on the Kennet and Avon. Loved it so much we are doing it again this year! - Wrenbury to Llangollen. Love your canal boat diaries on BBC 4 by the way.
The Naughty Lass has metal, Robbie C has mettle. Well done for your perseverance 💪tough stuff! But these are the times that define us, builds character! Also, how handsome you are without your glasses on! 🤓
Sorry to see you having to struggle through the blanket weed from Chester. I hope it's not so much of a problem now boats are on the move again. Lovely to see my bit of the world. It's funny, I took on my house on 1st June 2020 a few hundred yards away as you headed pass. I could have come help you if I'd known :)
Wonderful video Robbie. Shows your perserverence, courage and bloody determination to get the job done. 2 days to do nine miles - poor you. Put your feet up, enjoy your beer - you've deserved it!
Well done Robbie, what a trauma of a journey you had going to Ellesmere Post. Great Vlog as always. You really deserved that beer at the end. Take care.
you need to read the joy of shelves. although I've done plenty of boating I do not have one yet, while looking though I am increasingly thinking about alternative designs like having an a refillable LPG tank and a solid nose as I allways think the cratch area is underused along with roof space and head lockers. Van life has a lot of ideas for a small boat. I love the idea of having an actuated bed over a dinette so you raise the bed to the roof to eat or work but can also have a double bunk bed set up. have you thought of weaving blanket weed into a floor mat? or roof mat to cool the boat in hot weather.
Access to the Dee is at Taylor’s boat yard, we went down it’s a place for constant moorers also a silver prop destination just down one lock and back up. 👍
Ahhh I love this! I’ve always wondered what the canal boats are like!!! And the editing and videography is slickkkk! Good luck with the drone 😜💖 - Sean x
Cool you got to see a Beluga. I remember as a kid when a Pregnant Guppy landed in Phoenix to refuel at the Air Guard (basically, USAF Reserve) station at Sky Harbor International Airport. This was probably 50 years ago.
Another brilliant video Robbie, that journey through all those weeds looked horrendous and very stressful, good work in getting through it, physically and mentally, take care, stay safe
Well Robbie those gadgets are great ! But a flint in the wilds @ -40 🇨🇦 is my go 2 🍺 71+ Yorkshire expat. 👍thumbs up for your determination & spirit fella HELLS Bells
Not sure what cost, but to combat weed & anything that can wrap around your prop there's a blade that mounts at the back of the prop and slices everything up.
Nice one Robbie, nice to see how you got to Ellesmere port for the start of your BBC programme. Really enjoyed the BbC series, doing trip over more programmes would have been good, maybe a 13 week series for series 3?
Brilliant! I can totally identify with your struggles I felt the same traversing the Wednesbury, Walsall and Tame Valley Canals. All adds to the sense of adventure though 👍🍺🍺
First off, you are a filmmaker Robbie, and darn good one at that, someone who plans his shots with a lot of thought going into them. Secondly, your also a blanket weed viking who took it on and survived to come out the other end, in victory and relatively unscathed!
Hi Robbie. 18 hours stuck because of wind and weed is an awful prospect. I might have a solution. I said, "I might". Think your boat's heavy? It weighs only the water it's displacing. So, try this. Attach a long rope, about the length of the 'Naughty Lass', to somewhere central on the roof and at least a third of the boat's length from the prow. go ahead and pull. Just lean back and keep the pressure on, no need to break your back doing it. The boat will move and in no time you'll be able to keep up a gentle walking pace. This way, you won't have to go down the weed hatch at all. If the wind is blowing you onto the side, it'll be more difficult, so you'll have to pull harder to get the pace up, but this time, tie your tiller over so that the rudder is wanting to turn the boat off the side and into the wind. This can vary from well over, but not too far, for a strong wind to almost centre for a light wind. Once you've got the pace up, the rudder should keep you off the side. My 'get out' clause is that I said it might work. I've done it myself and it worked for me. Good luck and please keep the videos coming. I'm enjoying them immensely. EDIT. Ah! Sorry Robbie, I see that further down, it's been suggested and you've tried it. Still amazing vids though, so thanks again for them.
Hi Robbie, Hope all is well. My boat can just be seen in the distance on this latest video with you cruising through the "ghost town" lol on your way to Ellesmere Port it was my previous mooring Top Farm, Croughton. My boat "Meanderist" its just past the nb where the tent is on the banking but maybe due to editing I didn't get a good view of it. Loving the new series by the way!
From all that wickedly nasty water weed to the dilapidated and abandoned boats...That has to be the most sorrowful canal you've shown me. There was a grand pond I used to fish in my youth that was taken over by the same nasty water weed. Nasty stuff! Raising my morning coffee to you and hoping the return trip wasn't a nightmare as well. Cheerio Robbie
I'm gradually getting used to your particular style of video after a long while with Foxes Afloat and Cruising the Cut. The music in particular is very good. But the whole thing is quite entertaining. Many thanks. Nice to see the stretch up to Ellesmere Port which is just a few miles from where I live. You should have popped in for a beer while you were here. Good luck to you.
@@RobbieCumming My house wasn't closed. Got a nice garden at the front and the back and a fridge full of beer, plenty of wine and snacky things. Let me know when you are next up this way, although I suspect after your weed experience that might be a decade away. Do I understand correctly that you make electronic music and that is what you play on your vlogs sometimes? I'm into it myself a little. "Got a Sub 37" is one of my opening shots at parties. Or used to be when parties happened. Although cheeky chat up lines are hardly necessary when you are as lovely as I am. :-) Keep going. Enjoy your stuff, mate.
@@RobbieCumming I enjoy it. Well done. You are almost as good as I am. :-D Seriously, the music is good and the vids are always entertaining. I took the trouble of going right back to your first vlogs to see how much you had learned and improved. I know nothing about vlogging. You do it well. Keep it up. Cheers.
I don't know why you were so negative about the weed Robbie. A nice bottle of salad dressing and some chips would have sorted it out :p Joking of course, that must have been a nightmare trying to get through that on your own. It makes good compost too, mainly because it's sucked up all the fertiliser runoff from the farmers fields that makes it so prolific in the first place......
Hi Rob. Another excellent video. I saw your pain with the weed. I'm unsure about narrow boats, but on our Scouting rib we a weed and rope cut fitted. Rope Cutters Protect your prop from being fouled by rope or weeds. The simple shaft driven rope cutter rotates with the shaft, which in turn instantly cuts any rope, weeds or debris picked up or snagged by the propeller. All Prop Protector rope and weed cutters are made from 316 stainless steel. There are clamp on or slide on versions for imperial or metric shafts. Clamp on rope cutters are available with an extra large blade version too.
Thanks for your videos, Robbie. I really enjoy your style. I watched your Canal Boat Diaries this week and saw when you fell in the canal. I am glad you were OK. I could hear your engine was still running. I too fell in the canal recently and ended up in hospital for a week. I will be unable to be a Part Time Boater for the next few months! If you would care to check it out, I would appreciate your viewpoint on the scenario that is in last week's episode and any safety tips you may like to share Keep safe and I look forward to your next video. 🙂👍
Hi Robbie, cor! you really know how to live it up. All that blanket weed to yourself and nobody to share it with. Most I ever had was plastic shopping bags and once, a duvet. Often wonder where the poor bugger went who was using it. Take care mate, we're not quite out of the quagmire (or weed) yet. Kindest regards. B.
Have a Beer and relax. Blanket weed seems to be more of a problem on canals where the water is so clear that you can see the bottom. Would have thought the bicycle would have been a help.
Had a similar thing happen to us yesterday (not 18hours though) and your lister sounds just like mine. I feel your pain. Oh and boy is the water cold now brrrrrr weed hatch Blues. Write a tune for us ;)
I used to be a gliding instructor at nearby RAF Sealand. We had special rules for us to keep out of the way of the Belugas on their way into Broughton, or Hawarden as we knew it.
Hi Robbie Did I see a plate from the Basingstoke Canal (my local) that you tried to turn into a GoPro mount? I know you haven't been there but you should display it with pride and try to visit some day. Also you should have gone down the locks in the museum - there are some much better moorings for visitors down there with a security gate. Jeff
Well timed RUclips release Robbie. Also I don’t know where you get your tracks from but that little old skool rave number at around 11 mins in is spot on. Was thinking ‘boat rave with Robbie’. 😁🔊👍🕺
I remember, back int day, when I twas a lad, people would recycle their bicycle int canal it’s self , along with shopping trolleys and other things of disregard. How times change, hey? Great vlogs mate! Love em👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻😎
Yeah mate. I heard what you said about using your engines recharged your solar batteries. I have a lawnmower engine(Briggs and Statton) that I connected to an alternator for an off roader that I should get back inworking order for you to try when you pass.
I had an accounting prof (twice), who started off each semester with, "When you're working on a balance sheet for hours and hours and it still won't balance, stop, go to the fridge, slam down 5 beers as fast as you can. It still won't balance, but you won't care." :-)
Dude! I happened upon CBD on BBC4 last week, watched all 4 episodes on the iPlayer, and was *just* saying to my girlfriend how I’m gutted I couldn’t see any more of them.
Then found your channel! Great times. Keep it up :)
After "Diaries" series 5, I'm gradually working my way (backwards) through your videos. I thought I had watched a fair few so hopefully I'll meet myself in the middle at some point. You deserve a gold medal for sure. Weed-Master!! Well done 🙂
That was me on Saturday :)) Ran aground & every time I tried to pole her off, the wind blew me back. People passing on the towpath said "aren't you strong" and "It must be a lovely relaxing life" Just as well you can't buy a gun here :))
Ha ha oh my hope you were able to rest up and calm yourself so no violence ensued. Great to hear from you
Ha :) Thank you Robbie :) No, no violence, I was too knackered :) Take care. G.
I'll open a beer, thats not going to be big enough, cracks open another one, priceless. Glad you made it.
Canal boating is officially crossed off my To Do list. Thank you for showing us this side if it.
You’re welcome?!!

Robbie - " The Canal 👑 King" !!!
A rare treat on a Tuesday evening.....a double helping of RC. No sooner watched CBD on BBC and up.popoed your notification. I'm going for a lie down in a darkened room

Great vlog Robbie. Rust in peace, 😊. Are poor bike hopefully someone may find it and bring it back to life. Keep safe pal...
Well done Robbie great video and an excellent series on BBC 4. Keep it up
You're good, so many people just seem to throw old bikes into the canal.
The Naughty Lass has metal, Robbie C has mettle. Well done for your perseverance 💪tough stuff! But these are the times that define us, builds character! Also, how handsome you are without your glasses on! 🤓
Well done Robbie! You deserve that beer 😊
All power to you Robbie. Well done in your perseverance. Beer more than deserved.

Wonderful video Robbie. Shows your perserverence, courage and bloody determination to get the job done. 2 days to do nine miles - poor you. Put your feet up, enjoy your beer - you've deserved it!
Just watched all 4 of ur series on bbc4 really enjoyed it
Brilliant robbie well done thanks 😁👍👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it David cheers
Keep the vlogs coming
Your music at 13.12 very Peaky Blindersesk. Good to show that boating sometimes not that often, can get a little bit stressful.
Just watched you on Bbc4 , part 2 👍🤗
Me tot really enjoyed it.
Ditto 🙂

Well done Robbie, what a trauma of a journey you had going to Ellesmere Post. Great Vlog as always. You really deserved that beer at the end. Take care.

Stay safe in these Covid times. Cheers.
Really useful signs up there! “Ellesmere Port 0 Miles”. Really really ............ 🙈🙈
Access to the Dee is at Taylor’s boat yard, we went down it’s a place for constant moorers also a silver prop destination just down one lock and back up. 👍
Yes I believe my friends ‘Minimal List’ did it. They said you can’t actually go onto the Dee though. Shame!
Nice watching your videos still. Even with you being a big TV star and all that :)
Ahhh I love this! I’ve always wondered what the canal boats are like!!! And the editing and videography is slickkkk! Good luck with the drone 😜💖 - Sean x
Hey Sean thanks so much hope to see you about in Tod again soon
Thanks for what you're putting yourself through just to give us pleasure watching your videos! You deserve more than just those beers.
You’re welcome world 🤓👍
A nice little surprise. Thanks for the vlog. After watching that... I am stridently against legalising weed.
Great to watch your Canal Boat Diaries back on the telly again Robbie 🤗
Looking forward to your next TV series!
Robbie Cumming is always entertaining with his Canal boat Diaries, well done Robbie.
I'm enjoying watching you on BBC4, keep on cranking.
One guarantee in boating..there are no guarantees 🤯
Cool you got to see a Beluga. I remember as a kid when a Pregnant Guppy landed in Phoenix to refuel at the Air Guard (basically, USAF Reserve) station at Sky Harbor International Airport. This was probably 50 years ago.
2 episodes in one day. BBC4 and now here. Being spoilt.
That was great insight of your life on the canal on board Naughty Lass.......stay safe......thanks for sharing
Cheers Robbie, like your style! 👍

Rob, how are you doing today? Love your vlogs, your humor and how you express yourself that I want to click a beer together and say to you happy life.
Cheers Mark I’m good hope you are too. No beers necessary but thank you!
Not sure what cost, but to combat weed & anything that can wrap around your prop there's a blade that mounts at the back of the prop and slices everything up.
Good to see you back on BBC4. That was some weed. Busy time down the weed hatch eh. Happy cranking Robbie!
Good to see you Robbie, thanks mate, cheers too
Excellent as always ... see you on the cut

All the fertilizer and nitrates running off the fields makes that stuff grow so fast and multiply.
Wow, talk about suffering for your art. What a nightmare trip. At least you made it in the end. 👍👍
Was this close 👌to calling you about it was that bad😂

You did ok Robbie, I think it would drive me nuts for sure. john in NZ... kaiora
Made me think of war of the worlds and the red weed and the desolate music score that went along with it. Well done you deserved the beer.
Luv that last beer.... so the boat past it's survey ok.
It’s one of my faves too. Yeah I said it passed in the previous vlog?
A well-deserved drink Robbie.
I used to be a gliding instructor at nearby RAF Sealand. We had special rules for us to keep out of the way of the Belugas on their way into Broughton, or Hawarden as we knew it.
Brilliant Thanks Buddy
Hi Robbie
Did I see a plate from the Basingstoke Canal (my local) that you tried to turn into a GoPro mount? I know you haven't been there but you should display it with pride and try to visit some day. Also you should have gone down the locks in the museum - there are some much better moorings for visitors down there with a security gate.
Jeff
Great vlog Robbie showing the less glamorous side of boating ,you certainly needed a 🍺 or two after that ordeal.
Well timed RUclips release Robbie. Also I don’t know where you get your tracks from but that little old skool rave number at around 11 mins in is spot on. Was thinking ‘boat rave with Robbie’. 😁🔊👍🕺
Ah cheers yeah 🎶🥳 it’s all my stuff if you want to look it up - just google Robbie Cumming + choons
Will do. I didn’t know you produced. Good work. 👍
It’s amazing what you can do with GarageBand these days 🙈
Cheers !! ...great to see the reality of the canal ...good video ...fix that cool old bike : )
Bought for £140 spent £300 on it try,ing to get gears fixed but to no avail 😢 time to let it go!
@@RobbieCumming ...whoah ...way too much money ...yeah let it go...
😂👍
Nice one Robbie just had a speckled hen myself with that blanket weed would have finished the full box. Good luck on return journey
Awesome
It’s still a good bike !
I remember, back int day, when I twas a lad, people would recycle their bicycle int canal it’s self , along with shopping trolleys and other things of disregard. How times change, hey?
Great vlogs mate! Love em👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻😎
Yeah still happens!! Cheers
Nice one Robbie cheers
Nice vid Robbie should of gave that Bike to a Museum lol 😂 KeeP Cranking it marra
Been there, done that.
Fitted a bow thruster and prop guard.
Never looked back. :o)
Yeah mate. I heard what you said about using your engines recharged your solar batteries. I have a lawnmower engine(Briggs and Statton) that I connected to an alternator for an off roader that I should get back inworking order for you to try when you pass.
I’ve put my hands in some grim places, but going down into the weed hatch freaks me out
