    Great vlog as usual, interesting seeing the bridge with the chemical formula showing brine, broken down with electrolysis, into chlorine, hydrogen and caustic, which Northwich and Runcorn were famous for. Keep on cruising 😊

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  4 дня назад +1

      Hey Andy. I love that bridge. It was definitely famous for salt, apparently that is what “wich” part of Northwich and the surrounding areas means. Hope you have a great week ❤️

    tunnel like a hallows night , even though day time. water so still when you came out .of first tunnel.
    we enjoyed a trip on the boat lift .
    like the salt bridge.
    you must attract boats at bridges....
    warmed up now for you , Antony will need a nap.
    Cake who mentioned cake , thank you😊

      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  5 дней назад

      It was Mavis. I am not the biggest fan of tunnels. We have done the trip boat too. Great isn’t it? We definitely attract boats at bridges 😂. I did need a nap after that early start 😂. I did like the mince pie Pete and Caroline brought. 😋. Have a great week ❤️

    I love an early start on the cut, but appreciate its not your cup of tea Anthony. Always love seeing where we've cruised, Anderton and onward, a good few years ago. The colours of autumn are lovely, its nice on a dry chilly day to enjoy. A nice ending to the vlog with your lovely food Anthony, just what was needed. A great watch, thank you, happy days for you xxx

    A lovely vlog, always look forward to your new ones.
    I'm afraid I'm with Paul, just love getting up early, between 5.30 to 6.am best part of the day and now as trying to lose some weight great time for a walk.
    So nice to see you meet up with Pete and Caroline, we follow them too, just love Hamish and poppy.
    We just wondered were their boat was as they were travelling with you.
    Life without friends is like a garden with no flowers.
    Thanks for all the work you both put in to making these vlogs, I think people sometimes forget the time and effort that goes into this and bless you for always replying, we really do appreciate it.
    Take care ,look forward to next week.❤XX

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  4 дня назад

      I will leave you and Paul to go for the walk Christine 😂.
      Always good to meet up with friends and we really are blessed with some amazing ones. We even got to have doggy cuddles too ❤️. Their boat was in Whitchurch when they came to us, they didn’t stop over. We are now travelling with them again, which has been amazing.
      I like your garden analogy. 😊.
      It is lovely when people recognise the work that goes into the vlogs, I know how much time Paul takes to edit, so thank you. Hope you have a lovely week. Take care ❤️

    Happy Friday! 🥰 Glad to hear that you are safely on the other side of the closure and on the Llangollen. As always looking I'm forward to the vlogs in that area. I really love that area and fall and winter is the best time for it. That was quite a spread to put out after such a long day. Definitely proves you can put out a full meal in a small galley kitchen. ☺ It was really good that the day at Brinklow was nice. Wayne and Amanda showed how the next day looked and it was very wet. ❤ Take care! ❤

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  5 дней назад +1

      Hey Dorothy. We are glad to be through the closure too. I do love the Llangollen and it is definitely the most beautiful on this stretch of canal. I think everyone loved the food 😊. Amazing what you can cook in a small space. We had a great time at Brinklow. Was good to see Wayne and Amanda too. Artwork posted, so hope you get it soon. Have a great week ❤️

      The food looked delicious. The real trick of cooking is to get everything timed right. It's an art I never mastered. 🙄

    Another lovely cruise. Great start to my Saturday morning here outside Melbourne. Lovely to see Pete and Caroline on your boat (although I got a bit confused about whose vlog I was watching! Ha ha!). I didn't catch why they were travelling with you on your boat. Gorgeous countryside, and the contrast with the more industrial areas is interesting. The industrial landscape can have its own visual attractiveness. I can imagine sketching and painting them. Nicely put together video too. Narrowboat Life Unlocked and One Day More produce some very professional looking videos. Well done all, and thanks again for sharing it all with us.

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  5 дней назад

      Thanks Neil. Was great catching up with them. They came to help with the locks and the vehicle move, which was a massive help. I do love the contract between the industrial areas and countryside.

It must have been so frustrating having to reverse back out of the tunnel - the signage is very clear about the timings!! Very glad to hear you all made it on to the Llangollen before the closures. Here’s to a long and happy winter there. Have a lovely week xx 💕

    Great video as always. Some great memories for me there. Love the three tunnels. We always called Saltersford the dog leg tunnel (back in the 60’s & 70’s) My wife’s least favourite lock is Big Lock. She says the gates are awful to open and close, but I say the beer is fine in the pub. Looking forward to the next one as you visit our Marina (we don’t own it, just moor there) Keep safe and well.

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked

    Hi, gentlemen! Not a big fan of those loooong tunnels. Heaven forbid boats meet each other head on in one! Thank goodness for those alternating schedules. Llangollen area is my favorite, so don't skimp on filming the views. 😊 (like I have control of the camera, sigh). Paul, you sure had a busy cruise. Your reunion with Caroline and Pete was fun to see. All of you find or bake the most amazing cakes! Anthony, that curry dinner looked delicious. Hate to admit, I've never made a curry. It seems to be a very British meal. Happy cruising! 💚💚

    Watching this again while doing some gardening I thought it was funny when Paul asked you if you had your phone and van keys as it was like when I was going to school Mum had a check list which included a handkerchief .When Paul asked if you had your van key it sounded like hankie .😊

    Love this vlog! What did you do to get the sound quality so professional? Waw! Always like to see a long cruise, it brings such a diverse landscape and seeing Caroline and Pete with the Westie crew is such a delight. I must admit seeing two vloggers on one boat was a bit weird, lol! Love the Llangollan canal when it turns autumnal. ❤❤❤

    Fantastic post as always guys . I follow Pete & Caroline too so it was great seeing them. I’m new to narrow boating and just recently hired a 69 footer from Andersen boats at Middlewich with my pals three weeks ago travelling onto the Shropshire union canal through Chester and onto Ellesmere port boat museum and back for the week absolutely amazing experience stopping at some great pubs along the way like the badger and the shady which we highly recommend a visit. Have a good weekend guys.

    Anthony, I had to laugh because you sure didn’t look very happy getting up so early to go through the tunnel. Those tunnels don’t look like a lot of fun to go through. I think they would freak me out. What a grey gloomy day. The industrial part of the canal certainly isn’t pretty compared to the countryside. Hope you can sort out the noisy prop. Nice dinner you made there Anthony. Have a great weekend. Cheers!

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  6 дней назад

      Hey Heidi. I do hate mornings. 😂. It was a very dreary day. I agree, the industrial bits aren’t very pretty but are testament to the original use of the canals I guess. Prop has all been sorted. Great guys at Aqueduct. I think everyone enjoyed dinner. Have a great weekend ❤️ .

    I breathed a sigh of relief when you came out of those tunnels. I'd be no good in those as apart from having mild claustrophobia, seeing all those things dangling from the roof....nooooooooo! Whenever I see a boat with Elton Moss on my brain wants to read it as Eton Mess.

    Going through the tunnels the light from the end of tunnel, boat lights and small thing hanging down at the end , it all looked like a creepy eyeball watching us🫣, appropriate for Halloween time.
    I didn’t know you were in an art show Paul, hope it all went very well🥰. I’m sure you’ve made it to your winter choice and the prop isn’t singing anymore.

      Hey Dawn. They can be a bit daunting. I have awful night vision so always relieved when we come out of them. Paul did well at Brinklow with his stall. We are now on the Llangollen. Prop is all good too, which is brilliant.

    Hello Paul and Anthony, You start the Vlog off going into a tunnel. Canal Tunnels look like they can be frightening and claustrophobic, and it amazes me that there is no safety back-up should anyone get into difficulties mid-tunnel..
    Yikes, you then went into a second tunnel. Do you feel relief when you exit at the other end into daylight?
    Nice cruise Paul
    Anthony what were you doing standing on the outside of the boat looking down?
    Lovely sharp turn positioning for Wardle Lock Anthony.
    I love it when you meet friends and have the obligatory “Cake and Coffee”.
    Your curry looked so yummy.
    Love the end credits and seeing Dexter
    Another Fantastic and entertaining Vlog. Thank you. Have a great week. Spoolbox

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  5 дней назад

      Hey Spoolbox. Not great with tunnels as my night vision isn’t great. Always a relief to see the exit.
      I think I was putting the security lights on the boat.
      It really is a sharp turn at Wardle lock.
      Great to meet up with the friends.
      They said they loved the curry.
      We couldn’t take Dexter out of the vlogs. We miss him so much. Hope you have a great week ❤️

    Hi Tony and Anthony, and always amazes me that the narrow boat builders don’t put in bumpers along the side of the narrow boat. So if you do run into something, you’re not going to scratch or dent your narrow boat, it would be pretty simple to do with some rubber bumpers anyway just a thought probably heaps of people thought about it just been watching a few narrow boats having issues running into things keep up the good work guys I always enjoy the videos Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 I’m on the big island 🏝️

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  5 дней назад

      Hey Cliff. Some boats have rope swags which help protect the boat (we had them on MS1), but I think bumpers may hinder in narrow locks.
      That is the only reason I can think of as the logic is sound. Have a great week and take care ❤️

    • @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked
      @NarrowboatLifeUnlocked  5 дней назад

      Thank you. If the bridge is wide enough then using speed can help with reducing the effect of the water displacement. Same as tunnels, sometimes going slower will cause the boat to drift. Hope you have a great week ❤️

Anthony how far from work is that as I know you plan on winter in that area. Paul so quiet in places except around bridges. LOL. Oh yumm.
