Will you be traveling from Manchester to London via Narrow boat, or are you planning to park her just outside of London? If so, the trip is gonna take prob at least around two weeks. You'll be a pro by the time you arrive :) Make sure you have enough water, dog food, food & a bbq or some, so when you tie up in the eve& you are tired & you are a bit far away from the next town, both of you are at least able to eat & stay hydrated. Btw for knots there are some cool YT channels that teach them (just in case a storm or some happens while you on your way).. I am still excited for you on this new chapter. Good luck & dont bemoan if some goes wrong. Its part of life. Just smile, enjoy the adventure, the ride & have fun. Life be pretty boring if nothing ever happens, or everything always goes perfect and to plan. Just embrace it! Btw the canal isnt super deep & in many places you can stand easily in it. So no worries bout taking a dive. Most boaters say, that you arent a real one (boater) til you fell in hahaha.
Ah yep! But! With that being a hell of a slog and a month lost… won’t be sailing all the way 😉 got to catch up! lol. Family things to sort. More in next video. But more going on! Bound to fall in water soon.. is time 😂
@@HistoricHospitality oh I am currently running about 2.5 yrs behind my own time table hahaha. Finally the light at the end of the tunnel is this time deffo NOT another train, so I should finish everything by end of August. Then I've got some stuff planned for fall/ wintertime. Which means, that by spring I'll be starting my channel & Adventure (wont be under this name/acct). See how a month suddenly doesn't seem so bad ;) just as long as you keep your goals in sight, it'll be all good & work out in the end. Reg falling in.. Not sure if you got a harness for your doggie, but they are great, in case he falls in. Gives you some to hold onto& help him get back on the boat. Until he gets used to seeing other doggies on boats you pass etc.. Looking forward to your next video.. I know it'll be a nailbiter ha!
Have a great trip, enjoy those grand canals and all that lovely scenery. Don't forget to keep your water full, stay away from the cills and don't forget your windlass.
Not so scenic with my engine.. to much to concentrate on. All went to hell.. 2 days later… still trying! Next vlog whenever can get it done will be the drama one 😂
@@HistoricHospitality - There another vlogger I follow Narrowboat Will, he's very handy with engines, know quite alot about them and has helped out a few fellow boaters. Might want to contact him and see if he could help sort things out.
Gosh do a lot of travelling to London...hope that works out ... We have just moved out of the marina as well on Thursday 28th so a bit behind you currently parked up in Sale so depending on which way you go we may see you on the cut ...bon voyage Arthur
Wasn’t supposed to be so many trips! But with boat issues etc.. ended up being. Bacon and forth a day, another.. another! 😂 well… so t go all the way by boat.. take me weeks else!
I know. Couldn’t correct it. Would have got start again and I’ve had seriously heavy days no power et. Etc. no idea why did it. Luckily is more narration than me speaking to camera.. or be even worse 😫
NOTE: no clue why, video / speech sync error first minute! 🤷♂️
The one thing I’ve always wanted to do is go on a Narrow Boat , have lots of adventures you and Parsley, x
Get one that’s not old as mine I say though.. less engine issues 😂
@@HistoricHospitality thanks for the tip 😂 , x

Good luck on your journey ☘️ nice to see Parsley out and about ⛴️⚓️🛟
Thanks!
How fun you made it. I need to get on a narrow boat sometime. Not sure I can do it on my own 😜
Neither am I,. But here we go 😂
The First part was strange but the Boat is looking good from the outside now,
Great escape. Bit of fun with the movie style themed “opening sequence” - but … things been nightmare on travels so far!! 😂
Good luck, I would want reverse gear to be able to stop the boat without a Front button fender attached.🤔
Sorted that one. Everything else went to hell and high water. When some stability will try sort next vlog… but things a mess this week 😢
Great video
Ta 👋
This is going to be fun. Can't wait to see you racing down the canal.........is it 4mph?
Basically. Pretty rip roaring. Currently no reverse engaging.. so trying to figure that one out
Gosh do a lot of travelling to London...hope that works out ...
We have just moved out of the marina as well on Thursday 28th so a bit behind you currently parked up in Sale so depending on which way you go we may see you on the cut ...bon voyage

Be positive 😂😂 you’ll be fine, loads of boaters out there will be around. 🙏🤔
Trying.. but everything breaks or goes wrong 🤣 so I’m hoping!
Welcome home in a few days. I'll do your locks.
🙌🏻
Your voice not working at same speed as film spoiling it 😢

Terrible out of sync painful to watch, shame because there’s good content. But had to turn away from the screen as lips and voice didn’t match..
