    I like how you get in, get dirty, and get it done yourself.

    The Islington tunnel seemed never ending. The hireboat situation sounds like the tourists here in Norfolk, no regard for the locals🥴. Great video🤗

    Hey! I just found your channel and I am binge watching so keep going. I love your content and ease in front of the camera. I think you would do well if you were a boat buying consultant for anyone unsure of which boat to buy. Your knowledge is key to help and it would earn some good money too. Is this something you have thought of? My husband and I live near the Kennet and Avon and are considering a narrowboat live-aboard next year. Would need some advice for sure. Anyway, good luck with the channel. You are doing a fab job and your love for Basil shines through and is utterly adorable.

    • @charlieandbasil
      @charlieandbasil  4 месяца назад

      That’s a good idea. I never really considered you could make money from doing that.
      Give me a shout when you start looking for boats and I’ll gladly help you through the process

      That tunnel really is amazing Also you should look up on Google how they used to get through it before they had engines.
      Thanks a lot. I’m glad you have you on board with the channel. !!!!

    For years I used to skip from city road to ladbrooke grove, it was too busy and noisy. Last time I was over that way was 5 years ago. Its much busier and worse now. Found my place on the river lea, enables you to live in a nature reserve, while still living in the city/up to Hertford.

    The tunel footage was amazing. It looked very narrow, only one boat wide is that the case?

    • @charlieandbasil
      @charlieandbasil  5 месяцев назад

      Yes, only one Boat at a time. It would be a nightmare if you met another Boat in the middle

    Hi Charlie, the audio was much better this time around so thank you for your attention to that. Just want to say, lots of hugs and kisses to Basil ( I know you do it anyway ) there are so many inconsiderate people around, it's so annoying, I don't own a narrow boat but I use a jogging/cycle/running track ( disused railway line ) similar to those towpaths and just as narrow, to walk the dogs, and the total disrespect some people have when I'm enjoying a slow walk minding my own business, is unbelievable. Take care you handsome creatures you. 🐕😘

      Yeah, the top off is very difficult to navigate in London. That’s one of the reasons why i’m leaving, I feel like I need a bit more quiet time
