Travels by Narrowboat - "Stranger In A Strange Land" - S10E06

- Aslan and I head towards Braunston Turn, the junction between the north and South Oxford Canals - however at Braunston the canal becomes the Grand Union for about 5 miles.
Before joining what will be a new canal for me, I must first fill the water tank, empty the loo, and visit Braunston Marina to buy some diesel.
Later we meander our way along the twisty South Oxford, towards a mooring at Napton-On-The-Hill.

YES all is right with the Universe. Kevin and Aslan are back with another video.
Agreed
I love the sound of Aslan. It is so calming to me.
It's a great white noise! 😊
Bedankt
Thank you so much Ben. 🤗
Sensible world. Sensible pace. That's what draws me back every time to CHG. When the world's hell bent on going mad there's always Kevin and Aslan, and lovely canals in a far away floating, shimmering world to go back to. Thanks for that.
Thanks Kevin, for taking us along on this great cruising adventure and it's really good to see that you and Aslan are doing well. I will definitely be watching the engine rebuild when you get to do it but in the meantime I'll be watching all of your cruising adventures. Take care and all the best. Stevie
It is a pretty amazing thing to have 15K people immediately watch something when it drops. I think it's because it's consistent and well done. Thanks for a view of another part of the world. Happy Saturday.
Mamy thanks for that. Great to hear it 🙂
Best blog to watch when cold damp and dark
Those are gorgeous rural scenes; great work capturing them! Very enjoyable.
You invest a great deal of time, energy, patience, money, thought, wit, & creativity (not necessarily in that order 😁) into bringing the canals to our chosen viewing device, and I must thank you once again!! My money is on the title being an Iron Maiden, not a Leon Russell reference, but I’ve been wrong before 🙂. All the best & fun/safe travels!
Excellente CHG... Love it... Aslan may smoke a bit, but I have to say that her chugging puts me in just the right mood for a little nap... LOL... Thanks Kevin!! Cheers from Tennessee, USA
I came here at series 1, while struggling with anxiety and panic attacks. The calming nature of these videos really helped me through a hard time. Also one of the first episodes went through Rugeley, my home town. Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos, to some it means a great deal.
It's okay Aslan, we all take time to warm up in the morning! 😂😂 Thanks again Kevin for another lovely trip. Cheers...
Thanks! I really enjoy your videos!!
My weekend would not be complete without a chapter from the adventures of Kevin and Aslan. Thank you for giving me a bit of time to just relax to the gentle sounds of Aslan and your narrative. Wish it could be all year long. Safe journey.
Same here!
Kevin, thank you so much for the time that you take to film and edit these videos. I greatly enjoy the cruise, the commentary, and the views. It’s a treat that I value highly. See you next time!
HI from Arkansas, USA !!!
We so enjoy your narrowboat travels and adventures, Kevin !!!
My apologies for not responding often with likes or comments, but so you know my husband and I have been watching your channel from the beginning.
We look forward to each season, and new videos. 😊
On another subject...
I just received a Bialetti coffee pot, just like the one I saw you use in one of your videos. As you said how you enjoy the coffee, how simple to use etc... I decided to buy one. 👌
Well it is unboxed and ready to use.
Am anticipating an excellent cup of coffee. 👍😊👍
ENJOY the day, Kevin 🤗
Many thanks. Great to hear you've enjoyed the series and videos from the start, it's very rewarding to know. 🙂 Would be great to hear how your first cup of 'classic' coffee went. Cheers again,
@CountryHouseGent 🖐
Hey, am here to report about my first cup of coffee, with the Bialette coffee pot. I went to a shop 25 miles from me, to have the appropriate coffee beans ground.
My first cup of coffee was not just about the coffee but also fun to see how the pot worked.
The coffee was smooth and delicious! This has now become part of the morning routine!
Thanks for you indirectly directing me to a new way(for me) to enjoy my one cup of coffee a day. 😂
Kevin, you are appreciated 👍
ENJOY your weekend 😁👌
That's great Celia. I've found that the little ritual once a day of setting the Bialetti up, smelling the coffee and the gurgling as it percolates through, is as enjoyable an experience as the coffee is to drink. Cheers 🙂
Thanks! My husband and I enjoy watching your adventures.
Many thanks Rachel and hubby. That's most appreciated.
I'm late to watching this video but better late than never, right? Thanks for the entertainment Kevin and Aslan!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Cheers again,
Hi CHG, am normally not one to comment on my fav vids; it's just that you've been the one constant narrowboater making great content whilst so many others have fallen by the wayside (or should that be towpath-side!)
So, y'know,a huge thank you for bringing a shining light into an otherwise drab and dreary country I live in.
Hi John. Yes they do seem to come and go. I'm happy to just keep chugging along. 🙂
Many people, including myself, have little idea what goes into editing videos. Thank you for the time you spend to create such inspiring and enjoyable content. I eagerly await what's next, coming around the bend. Be well. Be safe. Have fun! Cheers!
So very much appreciate your wit and work bringing this true delight into our viewing world! ❤
I’d love to sit in that narrowboat cafe. Perfect!
I didn’t realize how much work goes into editing. Well done- it’s appreciated by many. Thank you!
The life of a narrowboat mover would be an interesting one, poking around in so many different boats. So would the life of a canal based cafe/coffee shop owner. Yet you constantly prove the life of a continuous cruiser is just as interesting. While similar, I'd imagine no two days are the same, even while moored up for a few. New people coming and going all the time. Another cracking and calming episode.
As a fellow motorhead I am looking forward to your engine rebuild videos. Safe travels Kevin, have been watching your videos from the start
Takk!
Tack så mycket. Jag uppskattar det.
Great news Kevin! Looking forward to enjoying your top end rebuild videos. Juli and I love your filming.
Just started watching your vlogs after binging all well deck diaries and floating our boat, fount your first few vlogs very moving and enjoyable. Said to my wife if we were ten years younger we would get a narrowboat but now a seventy year something old fart would have the patience or skill to get a nb into a lock and would be shouting at everyone to get out of the way. Looking forward to catching up on all your old content.👍🏻
Thank you so for making my Friday evening!!! And because it’s Friday and I’ve been Skyping and texting and on messenger with family and friends , I’ll watch this again over the weekend.
Thank you 🙏 for being you!
I love the little boats
My Friday has just been elevated to amazing! Oh ! I do look forward to winter 2024. I like to see the mechanics of the grand lady. Very interesting to see how she works. Thanks for the great video. I look forward to the next one.😊
Another fine installment from our CHG, Kevin and his adventures with Aslan. Safe journey my friend!
Finally, got to watch this weeks installment! Thanks Kevin (CHG). I volunteered over the weekend at Wellsfest in Jackson MS (39th year... music festival for whole family). I didn't get to "recharge" with Aslan's travels until this AM. :) Cheers!
Cool, that sounds like great fun. Haven't been to a music festival in a loooonnnnggggg time. 🙂
I noodle and toodle on a nylon 6-string. Even though I live in the heart of blues country, I tend to play "folky" ballads (stories). I relish your show. I hope it is as centering for you as it is for me. I know there is a lot of effort and expense involved! @@CountryHouseGent
There was I, thinking I'm the only person in the world who quotes the famous line: "Wash day, tomorrow. Nothing clean, right!?" 😅 I'll be back to listen for more! 👍
Awww love this episode! We did Braunston to Napton last Friday on the last day of our holiday having been to Stoke Bruerne. We decided to head to The Folly for our last meal and turn at the winding hole and moor up ready to head back to the boat yard the following morning 😭. I doubly thought of you as not only was I wearing my CHG ‘Lock up your pork pies’ T-shirt, The Folly had Faggots 🤮 on the menu! Thank you again! 😊
Being a Black Country lad born and bred I know exactly what you mean by faggots, but maybe any American viewers might be a tad confused!
Hello Kevin 👋 I love the horn from Aslan 😊 take care my friend.!!!😃
Your show is my weekly treat. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Please remember to thumb up this brilliant vlog everyone! Thanks Kevin for your great efforts to entertain us. Diolch yn fawr.
It's literally the least one can do!
What a superb way to start a Saturday morning down here at the dull edge of the planet! Thanks, Kevin, you make my week without fail. So Aslan smokes? Well, she's old enough, innit?
Cor Kevin, loadsa dosh comin in this week ! 💰💰💥 Well done..wonderful vidoe. Thanks.
Great video Kevin! 👍
P.s. Aslan’s engine rebuild next year is definitely something to look forward to.
Awww another wonderful vlog glad Aslan will get a new heart Kevin just what I could do with not doing well with heart failure but at 78 guess it one of those things tc now look forward to next week the oldies 🤗👍👋
Oh so sorry to hear that Ann. Hope there's good treatments available for you? 🙏
Thanks!
Many thanks Steve, I very much appreciate that. Cheers,
Another great video this has some beautiful scenery thanks for sharing it made my day extra special 🎉
I Kevin yes a very busy canal but interesting and scenery all for now 😊
hi kev , well this run out has everything you have captured canal life.. thanks for the trip.
Iron Maiden title and Terminator reference about laundry. This is the content I can only find here. Well done
A busy Vlog ! Boats Galore !
Still, I suppose that's what you'd expect at ANY junction !
Entertaining as ever, even though you need an extra Mortgage to afford the Fuel !
I can remember a time when you could get 4 gallons of Premium petrol for a Quid !
Can't wait until the Engine comes apart !
Stay Safe !
Stu xx
Excellent Interesting Content . - Most relaxing so Thank You Kevin.
Brilliant vid! One of your best. (So far.)
Another great vlog Kevin, really enjoyed it, thank you 👌
Very pleasant vicarious trip thank you.
Watched all your videos from the start Kevin, and living in an old industrial part of Lancashire I am still overjoyed at what you show us of the beautiful country I was born in.
Happy Friday! Can't wait to watch this later. So enjoy your videos!
Nice one Kevin keep them coming çant wait to see the engine rebuild ⚓⚓
exceptionally entertaining installment, Kevin, you navigating the Grand Union -- a few tense moments around the near-grounding of Aslan and your wise adjustment: "all part of the fun"...must say I'm impressed with your calm assessment of overhauling Aslan's engine, which you evidently plan to do yourself, a major job for my mechanic -- looking forward to next week!!!
Hi Kevin 👋 just us 2 saying hi 👋 thanks again for taking us along on your travels 👍den and sue 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌
appreciate these videos so much and they are like a meditation for me Kevin. I'm not a videographer & have no idea how u get these various views but it's a wonderful experience joining you on your adventures.
Hope you (and we) get some cruising in for season 11. Thanks for the recipe.
Stranger in a strange land🤔 ...prefer infinate dreams😂👍🙏
Great to see you back Kevin, great meal also
I quite like smoke effect gives it an oldie world look,
53 liters comes out to about 14 gallons. The average volume for a midsize sedan like a Honda Accord. This week I paid $3.49US per gallon to fill up my Honda Ridgeline. It came out to about $58-$59US to fill it up. More than I wanted to pay but less than it was about the time you filmed this video. That’s all I am going to say about that.
I enjoyed this video, thank you!
My gas tonight in San Diego County was $6.28/gal for lowest octane.
😤🤬😤
Greetings and Merry Christmas to you from Nick and Kimberly in Chicago. We love your documentary (and cooking ideas).
Thr Braunston butcher's triple smoked streaky bacon is legendary.
Another great ride Kev. Thanks for the lift.
Hey to you, here in the U.S. some of us use Transmission fluid in the Diesel,it helps in cleaning, if you are using a mix fuel might be why lot of smoke at start up, also check injectors, worn rings should use more oil and have blue smoke, check engine temp could be running cold☺️
Just spotted Oak at 10 minutes in - stunning canal boat.
Ahhh...Another Friday and another excellent video....Thanks Kevin (and Aslan)...
Very nice cruise video 😊excellent well done 😊thank you
Moored up just below you past Heyford Warf. Not difficult to spot me as there's a 1950 AJS on the deck. Took to a narrowboat in July after a breakdown having watched the transformation in your mental health. I'm pretty much where you were in season one. If you're passing say Hi. Always up for a chat on boats and bikes. Love your VLOG! :)
That was nice…. Thanks for sharing!
There isn't a measure small enough to represent 100ml of oil in the U.S 😉 Looking forward to the top-end rebuild next year 😀
Great video and safe travels.
You said that Aslan's engine uses about 100 ml per 8 hours. In US measurements that is about 3 ounces (8 oz to a cup); so less than 1/2 cup by my figures. And, it's a diesel so there are many I have seen that smoke much more. Love your VLOGs.
Your travels today are a welcome distraction from me having covid. The "chugging" is quite relaxing. You should sell that as a sleep aid/meditation aid. 🙂
Oo controversy next time?
Lovely video,good to have you back Kev
The smoke is classic beauty, as long as your lungs are ok Keep it chugging
I think the turnover bridge is for changing the towpath from one side to another, without unhooking the towline from the horse!
But what do I know?
Love from Denmark 🙂
Another very watchable video, thanks Kevin, keep them coming
The black duck looks like he’s bobbing to the beat of your purring engine 😅
That's a moorhen, also known as skitty coot, marsh hen, swamp chicken and common gallinule.
Oops the moorhen looks like it’s bobbing. We don’t have them here in California 🤭
What lovely viewing. I could sit watching your travels for hours.
Kevin... I caught that Terminator 1 reference...... Nicely put....
Stephen and Alison in Florida...
That last shot of the countryside was the best! Thank you for the nice films of your journey. A viewer from Indiana;)
Funny the bird looked like he was bobbing to the beat of your engine.
I think so to. It's a catchy rhythm. 🙂
"Fresh Winds" when i make fresh winds my wife yells at me but on the canals people name their boats after them.
Also, another Terminator reference. I'm gathering that you're a big fan of the franchise
3.38 Oz = 100 milliliters (one quart is 32 oz) So not bad at all!!
Lots of traffic!! Navigating that winding canal looked rough. But a pretty canal.
Kevin, that was a slick move getting grounded after speaking to "the lady washing her boat". Sly rascal.
😆
Awesome!!!! Breakfast with Aslan and CHG!!!
🤩🤩🤩
Well, you're looking at the world from a narrowboat as opposed to looking at the world through a windshield. But perhaps fitting to paraphrase Del Reeves:
"I'm gonna sign my name in this diesel smoke
And let the ones that come behind me choke"
Looks like there was a lot of traffic this time. I've watched from the beginning and now have my own Beekeeping channel that I just started. I've been a photographer for years but, video is another whole game especially when you do it "ALL" yourself. I'm a little surprised only a few boaters wave as they go by.
I’m bit behind on your videos. It’s pretty cold here now & I’m playing catch-up while tending the wood stove.
It looks absolutely beautiful where you are, not just the weather but the scenery!
Thank you for sharing your travels with us.
Thank you Tina. Yes it's pretty cold here as well now. 😊
@@CountryHouseGent ...be well & warm 🌞
Hi Kevin! Thanks for having me along.
Thanks brother! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love the Iron Maiden reference.
Jeremiah 14:8, O hope of Israel, his Savior in times of distress, Why are you like a stranger in the land, Like a traveler who stops only to spend the night?
Kevin when I saw the title of this episode I immediately thought of this scripture 😂, I always enjoy your videos, thank you for the trip as well as your commentary 😊,
Charlie from Pennsylvania
John 12.2 😂
Thanks from Napa Valley 😊
Nice mellow stuff man. Really dig the mix in of mechanical talk with all things adventure. Looking forward to the top-end rebuild. ✌
Again a great vlog Kevin. Thanks for uploading and sharing.
Love your videos. Best ones to watch by far❤️
