Narrowboat Natterings
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 ม.ค. 2020
A channel that aims to give an insight and hopefully some education on all things canal and river related, generated from the travels and experiences of Paul (Lumpy) Lumsden and his ever suffering other half, Paula (Mrs Lumsden).
Lighthearted banter, describing and showing routes, villages, pubs and interesting locations around the inland waterway network.
Likely to include other activities for example fishing, walking and cycling, just as long as this is connected to one of our narrowboat excursions.... Possibly often slightly drunk!
Warning. Lumpy's droning, dulcet tones though potentially boring, have the added side effect of aiding those that have trouble sleeping!

Wife Screams Whilst High on a Narrowboat! 126ft high. Waited 4 years! Pontcysyllte Aquaduct. No193
At last! After 19 weeks of one vlog per week, Lumpy and Mrs Lumsden reach their holiday destination! Llangollen Basin.
This was an extremely exciting if, (for Mrs L) quite a scary day. The amazing Pontcysyllte Aquaduct on the Llangollen Canal, had to be crossed. We had waited four years to do this!
There were plenty of screams, squirms and squeals as the narrowboat WeeMay, traversed the incredible UNESCO world heritage site.
After that, they wound their way along the very narrow and at times quite shallow canal from Trevor to the town of Llangollen. Absolutely stunning.
With the Eisteddfod being held in the town, it was busy with tourists, many of whom were there to see the band Madness, play on the big stage. Lumpy and Mrs L were fortunate enough to be able to hear the gig from their boat.

Brilliant..........Mrs L you were far braver than me when I went across that bleeding aqueduct,,,,,,,,,It still gives me nightmares Mrs L.....respect! Wonderful video you two..... Llangollen is an incredable town,,,,,,not sure if it is worth crossing that bridge tho!!!!
Loved that! The camera work was brilliant as you went over the aqueduct. Really enjoyed the journey. X
@@carolinebutcher8160 thank you Caroline. That’s lovely of you to let me know.
Hi guys, Phil here watched in New Zealand. As always a great VLOG. I was in the UK last may and visited the Aquaduct. magical place. Recommend a walk upstream to the Horseshoe falls and stop for a beverage at the Chainbridge Hotel en route.
Got to admit to not doing as much as we’d have liked to when we got to Llangollen. We are going back next year so I’ll be sure to visit those places. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Does misses L realise she has go back over viaduct again 😂 well done I love the Llangollen canal done it twice now so good to see it again 😊well done ❤❤
@@philipizzard2584 our holiday ended there. Some friends of ours who used to own a Narrowboat, drove out to us. They then brought the boat halfway home over the next week and I then brought her home from there. My next series of vlogs are BCN.
@ ahh okay very entertaining and always enjoyable
Great video sir, I love the idea of Lumpys flannel wash. I’m not sure about fenders down Mrs L needs tug boat tyres down 🤣
She thinks it is tugboat!!! The gentlemen’s special is a process of beauty!
Very proud of Mrs L conquering her fears.
@@johnwest964 yes she did very well! An absolutely beautiful canal.
I know exactly how she feels I have the same problem with heights
@@brianwebster6018 i feel for you! Dentists are my problem. I’ve just started going again after 18 years!
Probably the best filmed crossing I've seen, I hate heights I would probably lie onthe floor in the boat(what a wuss)great vlog many thanks. 😊
@@robertbrierley7083 thanks Robert! Really appreciate that feedback. It was incredible.

@@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501 thanks Trevor. Really appreciate the feedback. I can’t believe you’ve never been. Get yourself over there!!
Great vlog and well done on completing one from your bucket list. Good on ya Mrs L, I too suffer from Acrophobia , a dram or three of medicinal brandy is in order. A gentleman's special.🤣🤣 So jealous you got to hear Madness for free.
Thank you. She did well. My fear is dentists! Just gone to one after 18 years!! Madness were great!

It was a great experience.
Well done Paula you were very brave. And doing the narrows too. 🎉
I’ve passed on your congratulations. It was a great experience!
Very well done Mrs L. I get the wobbles on step ladder changing a light bulb.
She did really well! What a fab experience it was!
Brilliant 👏 why is there only railings on one side? Well done Mrs L. I would be the same with the height x
I have no idea but it certainly makes it exciting!
We'll done Xx
Cheers Edward!
Well done Poo. X How do get home? How do you avoid another boat meeting you on the top? Where was breakfast cooked ? How do you get kids to turn lights off when they leave the house?
She says thank you. Ordinarily we would cruise home but in this instance we have some friends that brought it home for us. You can see if another boat is on the aqueduct, so if there is, you just wait. Breakfast cooked on in the boat. Don’t understand your final question but that answer has mystified mankind for millennia!
Crackin video, we really enjoyed it there a few years ago, apart from the hill back up to the boat!
Glad you enjoyed it. I’d forgotten about that hill!
Loved it . Your best 👌
Thank you so much. Appreciated.
Brilliant 😊. Well done 👏. Thanks for taking us along. Miss the Llangollen x

@@andrewcarmichael8683 I’ve only just started going back to a dentist after some 18 years!! I just don’t understand it but I guess all phobias are irrational!
What a really GREAT Vlog ! So Interesting ! What gives me the Willy"s is standing in a Flat Open Field and looking upwards at the sky ! Looking down into a canyon or similar, is a Breeze ! At least there is something to Look at ! Proud of YOU Mrs L ! I"m Surprised that there aren"t Traffic lights, in such a Congested area ! ! But I must admit it"s a lovely area ! But it"s Madness ! ! Did you get the Horse"s name, in the Llangollen Basin ? ? Are you turning round and doing the same journey the other way ? ? Stay Happy ! Stu xx
Our journey ended there and some friends had a little holiday on her to bring her half way home. I went and fetched her the rest of the way a couple of weeks later. Yes that tight section is a bit of a point the boat and hope for the best!! Didn’t get the horses name sorry. Didn’t know you needed it! I’ll have a look next time I’m there! 😂
What an Awesome Adventure you had. Liverpool AND Llangollen in one trip. Fantastic. And to Top it off you got to hear Madness play live for free 😂. I’m gutted that this series/adventure has got to the end. Il have nothing to watch next Sunday now 😔
Nice 1 folks…

Hi Guys, great Vlog. Mrs L you smashed it well done. 😎👍🏼
Thanks Nick. Yep she’s a trouper!
My wife had her head bowed and eyes shut as we were being driven across San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge! I was a good husband, and explained all the things she was missing!
Haha! It must be horrible to be so scared. Dentists are my fear!

Hey Jay!!! Not heard from you in ages!! All ok?
We walked a good section of this whilst on holiday a couple of years ago, including Chirk Aqueduct and tunnel, Such a beautiful place. Really loved the video although I'm still amazed that Mrs L hasn't pushed you in yet - I guess there's still plenty of time for that :)
