CANAL RAGE! HUGE CONFRONTATION AT A LOCK! Can I Get My Drone STUCK In a Tree Back?

- Today after taking the van ahead to the South Oxford canal at Napton and cycling back, we head up the Stockton Flight, joined by a hire boat. Everything went well until halfway up the flight, when all hell broke loose and we got some serious canal rage, with another narrowboat coming down the flight, that could end up in a fight.

If people get so annoyed and wound up on holiday can you imagine what they are like after a bad day at work !!!!!!
I can't imagine. I think he must have been having a bad day that day. 😊
Handbags at 10th lock, tell em to sod off Josh and take his sodding handbag with him 😅
😂😂😂😂
Hooray you managed to get your drone back. It pays to never give up and be a determined person. Well done. I always love your drone shots.
Josh is vert determined when he wants to be look at when he got the tiller back lol 😆
It's great 👍 that you got your drone back. Hope you and your family and the cats are all well and enjoying your adventures on the canals and rivers.
Thanks Keith. We are all still loving the life even with all the ups and downs we have.😊
Wow so exciting this week guys sometimes I have found it hard if the lock has a low bridge on exit to see if a boat is coming wanting to come up
At once I had just shut the lower gates and set off
When a boat came round a bend when a man with a face like a sack of spanners !! Said hey why didn't you leave the gates open I said I didn't know you were coming some people 😳
But that must have scared the hire boat crew !!
It was a bit scary for everyone. I personally hate confrontation but Andy is used to it as he worked on the door for years. Kind regards Diane 😊
Hi Josh et all! I had to deal with an American (1st time hire boater) who stomped up to me at the lock at Welsh Lane (?) after I secured my boat, opened the gate before he got off his boat then while I was heading back to take my boat in he insisted he was there 1st (with lock in my favour). Being a solo boater I tried to explain how locks work but HE just didn't understand how saving lock water works. After 10 minutes he backed down but I really didn't like the confrontation. After that there was confrontation at the staircase lock from a boat I was travelling with who just couldn't understand the shuffle to save water! I just kept calm laughing at the stupidity of cc'rs and hireboaters wrath! Lovely to see the footage you did of this trip to remind me of what a blast I had on this stretch! Well done Josh for getting your drone back, I take my hat off to you all for persevering! xx L&R
Lucy. Josh is very determined when he does something as you know when he was getting the tiller back. It's such a shame as 80 percent of the people on boats are lovely but you get the odd one that ruins it for everyone and ruins your day. I just try and keep smiling ❤😊
I must admit to laughing from beginning to end of your drone saga, Josh, but fair play to your tenacity and congrats on your success.
Josh is very determined when he does things and got there in the end.😊
Best news I heard all day, Diane making hot dog rolls outta burger rolls ;) but seriously, glad you retrieved your drone Josh! Nice to see Andy back, what with the lock rage incident, this ones got ALL the drama!
We seems to be doing well with the views Chris. Just wish all the vlogs got this many views. Hope you well? 😊
Now I know why you couldn't say more! Well done on recovering your drone Josh👍
Brilliant footage Lovely bbq too!
Thanks Jan. We are very pleased to get it back. Josh never gives up that's what I love about him.😊
Oh!!! I came inside to rest after working in the greenhouse. Sooooooo very very happy you got your drone back.
Yes its great news Nancy. Josh was very determined to get it back. I was the one who said just claim on the insurance 😊
As a live on boater. Best not argue with Americans mate. I've found the breed is very thick and doesn't understand. I leave them alone and I find they return to their natural habitat where they are all thick and get on quite well. Great you got the drone.
I am very sad to hear that is your experience with Americans. Let me assure you we are not all like that at all. I have come to love this family even though we have never met….and of course common courtesy is something every human in this world should practice. Courtesy is always appropriate…Kindness is always the best way to go through our days….and sadly we do run into some unkind, people with lack of understanding…or who even care about being so. That is not just American, it is nasty human nature. I personally find when I am kind and courteous, and listen to other’s point of view, I receive the same in return. Truly, there are more kind people, than nasty ones. I have experienced a couple of very nasty ones people, but truly many many more nice ones. I find most are actually good people who just do not understand, as you say, the saving of water in a canal.
Great vlog….. No matter what country we are from I do not believe anyone likes confrontation….and there is no reason for it. So glad you got through that without escalating into anything physical. Believe me it is not only certain nationalities. I would call that Canal Rage. Here we experience Road Rage. It is individuals, not nationality. We experience it from all walks of life…it is very stressful. Again, so pleased that you got that drone back…..I agree that it would be very difficult to have left it up in that tree.
No need for generalisations. All the Americans I've met on canals have been great.
God knows what was going on in this fellas life to be so angry over nothing. He's probably very unhappy in life to be like that because happy and content people don't act like that. I feel sorry for him if anything.
@nancyspringston8547 well said Nancy we totally agree with you. It's not nationality it's just the odd person that ruins it for everyone 😊❤
@@nancyspringston8547love your comments thanks Nancy xxx
Glad you got your drone back and honestly if it had been me he had a go at for no reason,trust me he would be out cold in a split second
Totally agree and it nearly came to that I think.😊
Grit & determination for the drone after your last loss! Well done 👍
Well I’ve noticed grumpy along our way but not aggressive .. cold shower 😎
You know what Josh is like. He was very determined to get it back just like the tiller.😊
Glad you got your drone back!
Thanks😊
Glad you got your drone back . Your dad doesn’t look very happy ! Best wishes.😊
Good use of a carp rod.
Finaly the summer is start, enjoy boating ❤
Thanks Leon. The weather has been lovely lately😊
So glad you got your drone down. Ok too. Isn’t it strange you can have 99 really nice people and then along comes one who is not quite so nice or in your case two. Never mind Josh. You have all your lovely family and now a new little nephew and niece. And the cats. And the summer and lots of barbecues. 🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈
Thanks for you very positive comments Marilyn. Hope you are well?😊
No need for arguments.
I walk and cycle the canals all the time. No traffic, not many people. Love it. I suppose it will attract an occasional idiot or two
There are a few idiots out there sadly 😊
Glad you got the drone back
Thanks 😊
Great news about the drone. Great video as always!
Thanks
10/10 for determination josh on getting your drone back? 😁😁
This reminded me of the time Josh was trying to get the tiller back. True perseverance 😊
Parents with young children cycling are starting to avoid canal tow paths for safety which is why many are becoming a little overgrown in places. (Plus less tow ponies now obviously)
Drone retrieved , good blog again weather looks a bit threatening.
Thanks Elaine. We were so glad Josh got it back.😊
This giy was lucky you are a calm.and patoent person, many boaters would simply have laid him out cold
We thought it was going to come to that but luckily it didn't.
44 long years on canals, rivers and the seas for me and every day is a school day. Good luck on your travels.
Thanks you get the odd few that ruin your day. It happens 😮
Little known factoid nugget. Many people that live on boats will either empty their poop and wee into the canal or will poop and wee directly in there during the early hours whilst everyone else sleeps 💤.
I found this out from people that live on boats in Wiltshire in Devizes and the surrounding villages.
DSTM 🤷🏿♂️
Not every one that lives on a boat does that. We certainly don't.
@@TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat well yes there’s always exceptions to the rule.
The tow path…It was that overgrown due to all the rain we’ve been having. Trust me Im a professional!
Nice food and got the drone out of the tree,👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Josh worked very hard to get it back Thomas and we had success.😊
Buckled wheels are easily sorted with a spoke spanner. Tape some sort of stick to your frame with it not quite touching the rim. Loosen the spokes slightly on the bulging side of the wheel and gradually tighten on the other until the buckle straightens. The stick marker will give an indication as to how true the wheel is. There are tutorials on RUclips. The brake lever really is a minor issue.
Thanks for the information 😊
Pleased you got your drone back.
Thanks Carol 😊
Hello Taylors. 👍
Hi Will xx
Did you make it off the Lancaster before the cills broke?
@@TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat what cills?
Imagine going on a gentile holiday only to pick a fight in the middle of nowhere, with a total stranger. Narrow Boating isn’t for everyone 🥊🥊🥊
You get the odd one that ruins it for everyone 😊
So please you got your Drone back, I bet that Made your arms ache holding that pole.😊 Those two chaps didn't seem to be agreeing on something in the lock.😮 Not road Rage but canal rage.
Definitely canal rage Chris. It's ment to be a slow pace of life and there are still people in a rush lol 😆
I would love a boat on the canal.i imagine it can be very relaxing.
It is very relaxing most of the time😊
Yes, always hard work, but mentally extremely therapeutic. 🙏
I've noticed a couple of times now, Josh, I've gone to add to a part comment I've made and all comments have disappeared from the page. If this is happening to others that are commenting on your page you might be losing comments.
It could be a glitch to do with RUclips. We will have to look into it.
That’s happened to me on other channels
I took a new boater or on a trip specifically to teach her how to operate a lock. Another boater lost his rag when I asked him to NOT help with the lock as otherwise the point of the trip would have been completely lost. I guess he was in a hurry, which isn't something anyone should be on the canals.
No one should be in a hurry on the canals. It's ment to be a slower pave of life😊
just found your channel, and love it, looking forward to more of them. I just got a go pro and trying to figure out how to edit my hiking footage. Any tips?
Glad you are enjoying our little channel 😊
Davinci resolve for editing your videos, it's free, but you'd need an up-to-date laptop/PC/MAC, there are loads of "how to' videos on RUclips if you get stuck, bit of a steep learning curve to start, but you'd be pretty good for easy stuff after a handful of edits.
@@sr3d-microphones super, thanks for that, I will have a look at it
Well. There's a right argee bargee!
Good job nobody was having a BBQ on the towpath when you were riding along it.
A cyclist did actually come past on that VERY quiet towpath, and we just rolled the BBQ out the way. Share the space. That's what the CRT says.
It very bad form to expect to drain or fill a lock to suit only you when other boats can be seen approaching (even from a fair distance). Just WAIT!
There isn't a hurry on the canals. It's a slow pace of life. I don't know why he was in such a hurry😊
Drone back home, a good day for a change .
I know it's great news for once.
😊HillBillys females a bit of a yapping one .
😂😂😂
Great vlog guys bbq looks scrummy what make of drone do you have looks a good un.
Dj maverick 2
I though you may go to Braunton Canal Festival?
No sorry we aren't. Maybe next time.😊
Have a fight sort it out like true sailors :)
😂😂😂
Lock rage 😂
Sorry that happened to you Josh. There is no need for that kind of anger.
You do meet some not very nice people but the majority of people on the canals are lovely 😊
As someone with zero knowledge of these boats and canals, what exactly was the issue? Does downstream boat have first go at the locks?
So the etiquette goes, it's not who gets to the lock first, who gets to go through first. It's to whoever the lock is in favour of. So if you're going up and the lock is empty, meaning no water in it, that means it's on our side. Therefore, we get to use the lock first. However, the lock was full up, meaning it was against us. So the boat coming down had right of way. When the hire boater was emptying the lock, even though it was on the other boats side that's seen as bad etiquette and wasting water. It's all about water, really, whatever saves water as canals relay on it and is precocious.
Nice
Well if my drone got stuck ,it would have been bad words said a lot . Then you had that mad hatter having a go at you for nothing at . Well ,BAD WORDS BIG TIME.
At least we got the drone back which was a good thing😊
over here in New Zealand its you wanna fight mate
😂😂😂😂
15:06 leaving lock key like this can’t be good practice surely?
No, it's not. Most of the time, we don't, but bad habits die hard.
The case of the two egos! 😂
I can't help but think there are better ways to deal with ignorant tourists. Do not antagonise them or let your ego control your actions. It is best to calmly educate them in a friendly manner with a smile on your face. It is hard for anyone to get angry or defensive when you treat them so friendly and they will be more willing to learn.
Yes this is hard when they are in the wrong but they probably don't know or understand the etiquette. They don't know that they've done something wrong so If you confront them in a condescending or accusing manner this will just make them respond badly, then the situation will escalate like this.
Try to remember just because you are a regular or live on the canals you do not own them or have any more power or rights than tourists. Some tourists will just flat out choose not respect the etiquette and you just have to accept that they don't have to and still have a right to use the canal. You'll just have to wait a little longer, hey ho that's life. It really isn't worth getting into a physical fight as a grown man in such a nice, calm, setting. 😂
I will just remind you that this wasn't us getting into a fight it was the people sharing the lock with us and I am very much like you. If you watch us you will know I am a very smiley person and try to keep everyone happy with a smile and good morning but not everyone is like me. I always try to look on the bright side of everything. Kind regards Diane 😊
Always remember that these canals were dug by hand with effort and sweat. They’re full of good will, bestowed by people with a different set of values where hard work and effort deservedly generated respect for what they achieved. Arguing over ‘imagined rights of way’ by people who generations later chose to ignore the sacrifices and effort endured by previous generations is completely disrespectful to them and their effort. Every brick and every turn of the canal is entirely due to their perseverance. I ‘take off my hat’ to them and revere their skills and work ethic. Present day squabbles disappear into irrelevant niggles, as a consequence of the modern concept of ‘entitlement’.
These are the kind of "boaters" that are moving on to the canal now. Its so changed for the worse
There are the odd few that ruin it for everyone. The majority of the boaters are lovely 😊
@@TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat I've lived aboard for over 15 years ( because I chose to not because i think it's a solution to the housing crisis) and I've seen the kind of people that have followed
GG says woof to the kitties
Meow meow from kitties 😸 💜
😂😂😂😂 should have found out if the Yank could swim,rrrrr well at least its free medical here unlike in America ,he needs to be careful opening his mouth like that or someone might fill it ,a lot of strange people on the river sometimes 😊
He was lucky the guy didn't thump him. We thought it was going to come to that.😊
Hi....Josh.....glad that you kept your cool with that "plonker!"....'Demanding respect after all that screaching? N believes thats ok coz he 'didn't swear'? Honestly! Like aggessive body language,attempts t intimidate n volume is permissable? N he yelling at wrong folk t begin with!.😊.He missing the entire point of " life in the slow lane'😂.bet thats the kind of tourist the Boaters can well do without! Clearly not 'Ambassador material' Gives the U.S. a bad name! All so unecessary!!!
Console yourself that 1) you were correct n
2) he's going in opposite direction!
T.b.h. first thing I'd have asked him would have been " can you swim?' .....would definately disconcerted him somewhat....😂 ( note: No! Would def NOT have tipped him in the lock! Far to dangerous!)
So glad that your persistance resulted in good retreval of drone! Looking forward t more footage from it!
Love your comment 😊
What an awful towpath to cycle on. In fact as an older solo cyclist I wouldn't go anywhere near that with a bike. Bridgwater Way is like a three lane motorway compared to that. Well at least from Broadheath to Abram. Lymm to Broadheath can be a bit direbin Winter.
I am always wary of riding my bike on the towpath now after coming off and nearly braking my nose. If the towpath is thin I always get off now and walk. Kind regards Diane 😊😊
How do you manage an income? 🤔
Josh makes a small income from RUclips but not enough to get his own house etc . He loves doing it though and gets a real pleasure out of it. That's what matters in life. Horrible going to work everyday and hating your job.
6 quid for all that meat and you think it's expensive!
Yeah, we're cheap skate frugals.
Used to live in England & that's a beautiful upload.
Clueless hire-boaters (not surprised) + angry loud mouth = bad mixture.
Angry guy might've been right, but sorry if he gave the rest of us yanks a bad name.
Not all Americans are like this. It's a bit like us English you get the odd nasty one.😊
Nice Family but the son is a bit dead pan and could squeeze out some smiles.
Maybe watch someone else with comments like that. Not everyone is smiley like me and Josh does have social anxiety. (Diane)
@@TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat Why? You speak good English. You enjoy your selves. Your photography is good. You are and have learned to Edit and play good music. Why would I can You? Yeah get it we all suffer from some kind of back trauma and so on but unless we are challenged we stop growing.
Josh is definitely not “dead pan”!
He studied media and works extremely hard to produce his quality vlogs !
Having met the Taylor’s numerous times they are very well spoken, and canal life can be stressful at times 😊
Diane will second that he smiles through thick and thin, is resilient to pressure and we enjoy his intellectual conversations 🦅
RUDE !!
