      You can do it! What’s the budget? Start by having a look at some boats and their layout. We had a smaller boat first 40ft to decide if we liked ❤️ we did and upgraded to Border Reiver. There are lots of useful FG groups. Watch some of our other videos and drop us some questions. Look forward to hearing how it all goes xx

    You don't need to be on a narrow boat to encounter situations like that. Sadly, it's just a part of life that we all need to be cognisant of, particularly in less affluent areas. But as you know, for every 1/2 mile of dirty, glass strewn, yob infested, desolated urban canal, there's 200 miles of beautiful, lush green, safe and welcoming historic English waterway to enjoy :) You did right by quietly moved on. Good call...

    Silly question, do all the canals in the uk lead to each other? For example, can you go from lets say somewhere in the south right up to Birmingham? Kind of like how roads work. My dog loved to walk along the canal and when a barge came by he would get over exited and im sure hes thinking about jumping in and go on the barge. Barge people are nice,they always wave and say hi,but i understand that they have to be careful, its not like you can find help right away. We cant have anything nice anymore because some scumbag wants what you have or just cause problems, my £400 mountain bike was taken from the train station bike rack,i had the best lock on it but they must have used bolt cutters or a cordless grinder. When i say i cried i mean i cried for hours walking 2 miles home. Just as i was thinking to buy my 1st moped too, obviously that aint happening, if they can steal a bike they for sure can take a moped. I pray that your journeys and adventures are not ruined by negative souls and god will guide your barge to a safe location.

    • @cruisingontheborder
      @cruisingontheborder 7 дней назад

      Hi 👋 what a lovely comment thanks for leaving us your story. We too had bikes stolen, both times in Europe, one from outside a train station and the worst from the top of our car… we survived, sadly the bikes didn’t. Forever lost!!! 😡 The UK waterways network is over 2,000 miles long and yes is mostly all connected. From Bristol in the south west to London and Basingstoke in the south east then all the way into Wales and north to Lancaster, in the north east you can get your Goole and up to Ripon, north of York. Some describe Birminghams canal network as like Venice!! Hope that helps you gain an understanding. Lovely to hear from you and hope you enjoy watching our other videos. J&M xx

The theme of our channel is to record what happens along the way, there are no scripts, we never plan what to show we just film day to day happenings. We hope you enjoy and continue to watch. Thanks for taking the time to comment, we do read and respond to everyone. J&M x

    Hi both of you. Really interesting seeing the boat out of the water having all the work done, the Blacking looks like a lovely job (NOT) 🤣. The big machine used to lift the boat up and over the other boats is what we in the shipping container transport world call a straddle carrier, used in the docks to move the containers about and lift them on and off the trucks. The ones in the docks are quite a bit taller so they can stack containers 3 high.

      Our pleasure! We are so pleased you enjoyed it. The blacking was challenging but we got there in the end. That is such interesting information about the crane, we think this one came from Holland and it was rebuilt on site at Debdale and modified. We hope you get chance to watch some of our other videos. Look forward to hearing from you again. Jac & Michael x

    Have you ever crossed paths with Kevin Shelley, aka the Country House Gent? Or Vanessa of Mindful Narrowboat? Seems almost inevitable for continuous cruisers eventually, lol.

      Ah ah, good question, no we haven't been as there are so many miles of network 2,500 it might be a while before we see them. x

    Threatened on a canal? Quite sad, considering that you aren’t harming anyone! How have we as a nation let this happen? Oh…our politicians…

      I know but it was just one isolated incident, we have never had that experience elsewhere on the network. Thanks for taking the time to message us, we very much appreciate it.

    The biggest lesson I've learnt is people who have plenty of mouth in any situation, is all there have as a weapon, they generally lack any fighting skills.

    The Pigeons wanted a drink, watch them looking at the water as they heard the trickle, they could not get close to the water to drink, give them water and they would have left.

      Wow thank you, no-one has suggested that yet. Great piece of advice, we will take that onboard (excuse the pun) if it happens again. Appreciate you dropping us a comment. J&M
