- 188-Narrowboat Life Cruising On The River: A Wind Up Adventure
Join us on Narrowboat Dunworkin as we continuously cruise the inland waterways of England and Wales living an off grid lifesyle.
Today we leave Elton where there is an abandoned water powered corn mill and we are soon passing Fothringhay, where an earth mound is now the only reminder of Fothringhay Castle, which was most famously the execution site of Mary Queen of Scots in 1587. King Richard 111 was also born in Fothringhay Castle.
The lakes next to Perio Lock are called Bluebell Lakes and are a carp fishery created following gravel extraction.
Warmington, Perio, and Ashton Locks all have unpowered vertical gates just to ensure we get our daily exercise!
After passing through Lower Barnwell Lock we moor outside the very friendly Oundle Cruising Club.

We are Patrick and Eileen. In 2018 we decided to quit the rat race by giving up our jobs and selling our home to buy a narrowboat to continuously cruise the inland waterways of the UK. We bought a 57 foot Bickerstaffe boat which we named Dunworkin.
This is a record of our journey, Our Narrowboat Quest to explore the navigable waterways of England and Wales, to continuously cruise throughout the year. Join us as we experience all seasons, the wonders of our beautiful countryside, towns, villages and cities and even our industrial heritage, nowadays an ironic contrast to its raison d'être.

Love seeing the mist on the canal. Not sure if it effects your journey or not, but just so soft and calming. Enjoy your weekend!

Thank you Mel, it really is a beautiful area. Glad you are enjoying our journey, thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Hi guys just sat at home with my daughter watching this log we both met whilst you were cruising the Rover Nene we caught you on the mooring at Pudding Lane. You'll recall youths were playing on the lock and had left open the paddle causing the river to drop and through the night you moved your boat to close said paddle allowing the river levels to build back up.
My daughter had purchased her boat at Ely and we were moving the boat up to Leeds where she's now moored you'll be happy to know Kelly is loving life.
So glad we met you on our adventure please keep up the vlogs and we'll keep diving in when Kelly pops in I see us. Great memories on the Nene stunning river
Hello Colin👋, Lovely to hear from you.
We talk about that incident in our previous video “kidding around on the Lock”.
So glad that Kelly is enjoying her new life. When Pat was editing the video her boat was in the background and we did wonder how you both got on!
We loved the River Nene to, such a beautiful river and a lovely journey!
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
