    This is the episode of Worzel Gummidge that was filmed partly at the boatyard at Lower Heyford in 1979. ruclips.net/video/JuVyfy18J7s/видео.htmlsi=-WlDm_fQYQgEI5ZM

      I remember watching that when I was about nine years old. I seem to remember being quite frightened by some of the characters! :)

    Beautiful idyllic cruise. Sounds were amazing. Very well narrated Phil. So easy to listen to. Stunning countryside. Thank you.

    This has gotta be the most authentic narrowboat channel on youtube and hence my favourite.

    The gray dog looked like a young Irish wolfhound--don't see those very often!

    It is always so nice to meet kind people. They were so kind, that it almost makes it worth while boating in an area with a really bad signal.

    He and his boat waited for you to go ahead, and his boat triggered some fond old memories for me (and perhaps for some other folks) . . ."the Voyage of the Dawn Treader" :)

      Thank you. That was my best surround microphone setup. I don't use that every time because it depends on the weather conditions.

    Thanks Phil, lovely video. It is like being on the boat ourselves sitting at the front. Very peaceful. Loved Worzel Gummidge, they showed it on TV down here in NZ when I was a child.

    Hi Phil. And greetings from the Dandenong Ranges outside Melbourne, Australia. I have just discovered your channel. Thank you for such a lovely video. The surround sound is terrific.I took your advice and donned the headphones. Wow!. I have subscribed and look forward to more videos and soundscapes. Thanks again, Neil

    Many thanks Phil, that was very easy watching. Just had a few days on the Stratford Canal, so now understand locks and the like much better. Take care.

    Got on my first narrowboat from that boatyard in about 1980, she was a blue boat called Alma and they only had two boats.

    • @NarrowboatJourneys
      @NarrowboatJourneys  8 месяцев назад +1

      This was probably from around that time? You can see ALMA in the boatyard. Captain Worzel. ruclips.net/video/JuVyfy18J7s/видео.htmlsi=-WlDm_fQYQgEI5ZM

    I remember enjoying watching your time lapse videos years ago, but the videos you make now are better for getting a sense of the real pace of cannal life. Its just nicer and more relaxing to take it in at a steady speed.

    • @NarrowboatJourneys
      @NarrowboatJourneys  8 месяцев назад +1

      Glad you like them. The time lapse camera was all I could afford back then. Eventually upgraded to a car dashcam, and now using GoPros. Much better quality.

      Plenty of places to moor along that stretch of canal. Pretty isolated though and terrible for shopping.

      Moorings down there are limited and there's just no knowing whether there will be any spaces available until you get there?
