วีดีโอ

You did indeed! Lovely village you have there my friend

Thank you! I wrote it especially for the video

@@mynarrowboatlife Wow. Impressive.

Thank you, and yes I agree completely! A lot of this music was brand new

When did you travel it? Has it changed much? 🙂

Interesting, what was it you hated so much about it?

@@mynarrowboatlife can't put my finger on it but me and the wife just hated every minute on it been over thirty years narrowboating and the only canal to give us this feeling

@@bigKDLwere you cruising in the summer? Winter can be tough anywhere

Well said! I couldn’t agree more. Are you still going out for adventures in your van?

Thanks dude, hope you are doing well

Good question! Firstly the distance I walk isn’t usually that far, on average about 3km and I do occasionally cycle it to make it a bit quicker. Does that answer your question or did you mean where do I park?

Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying my vlogs!

I’ve got used to doing them by myself now, it just takes a little longer on your own…The M4 is a lot quicker though!

Thanks that means a lot as I write it all myself! I've been experimenting with different style on the latest main Vlog I just posted. Let me know what you think

Glad to hear it!

Thanks dude! I have a long video coming up soon. It taking a while as i’ve been writing new music for it

We have had flooding in Bristol, but everything is ok on my boat. Do you have canals or rivers near you?

Happy new year! 🎉

Thanks so much! I’m really proud of what I achieved. I actually prefer ‘Lucretia’ by Sisters of Mercy at max volume!!

Most definitely! I’m working on another long form video for the final but of my journey to Bristol which should be ready soon

Thank you so much ❤

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you as well. Let hope 2025 is better for us all

@@lanodramallama Thanks! I was lucky to catch it

@@horsetowater Thanks I’ll do my best! Has the heavy rain affected you at all?

@mynarrowboatlife thanks yes a little up here in Highland not too bad. Stay safe

That is very true, its kinda designed to float ;) Do you suffer with flooding near your house then?

@mynarrowboatlife people in the area do but were on a hill

@ I glad you are free from flooding either way

Thank you for recognising that! There is a lot of pressure to keep churning out as many videos as possible

I’m so grateful you have spent some time watching my videos. I try to make them have a different feel from usual content on this platform. Where is your favourite place to visit on Skye?

The second time I visited the highlands I took a tent (and a short Italian girlfriend). I was drawn to the mountains, so we camped at Glen Brittle beneath the cuillins. I dragged her up to the coire Lagan before it had chance to go dark. It was late in the season, we were shrouded in cloud, the wind was cold, and it was the only sound apart from the odd rock fall echoing off the walls of the mountain. I stood by the crystal clear lachan and as I looked out there would come small windows in the cloud where I could see the campsite below and the shore of loch Brittle. Just f****** magical! I’ve been back a number of times and stood on the summits, I can’t wait to share it with my daughter in the future.

@@jameshornsby886oh wow! That sounds amazing. Skye has a way of creating those very special moments of absolute awe and majesty. I’m looking forward to returning myself. You should document it yourself next time

Thanks dude, I have come along way this last year and not just in miles

@ I run a business in Pewsey, when ya next there give me a shout, The barbers room (Rich)

Will do dude! Thanks for your support of the channel

Thank you for such an in depth comment. Alas we couldn’t visit all the wonderful places on Skye as we were only there a few days. But I definitely intend to visit again soon

Have you ever had any trouble from CRT?

Monkey bike? Sounds interesting

@@thevikingcraftsman Thanks dude, hope the camper van business is treating you well!

@@wayneharris7534 I agree! Now I have built my own boat (and been able to shape it to my preferences) I can’t imagine living in what was someone else’s idea of a narrowboat

@@olivellanarrowboat4319 would you mind if I use this question for a Q&A reel?

@ thats fine by me 👍

@@olivellanarrowboat4319Thank you so much

@@mynarrowboatlife no worries, it’s something I’m thinking about with my own build. So far I have just been going with what I can find that’s within budget, luckily it’s tying together, somewhat. But Yh, I think your setup is one of the most unique I’ve seen, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on how it came together

@@valyd45 Alas no, it is a relatively new engine though. I would love an electric engine one day when they are cheaper perhaps

I went through Kelston yeah! Do you live there?

@mynarrowboatlife I work near there, the other side from the river. The little cluster of trees on the hill at Kelston is visible from all round - Kelston Roundhill. 🙂

@vivviedarling9336 It is a lovely spot!

​@mynarrowboatlife looks beautiful How far does the law say you have to move?

@AndewLLL The Canal and River Trust says 20 miles of ‘bona-fide’ nablvigation

Thanks for the interest in my channel, glad to hear you are making your way through my vlogs and enjoying them from Australia! I’m actually in Bristol now and just working on the the vlog for the final 3rd part of my journey here. Let me know what you think of the other videos as you watch them 🎉

@. I’ve been enjoying them, I’ve been liking them as I go along. Thanks heaps and see you soon.

I appreciate the support 🙂thank you!

Indeed! Not a bad way at all

Thank you so much, I plan to share more of my musical collaborations with Sarah. So keep an eye out. In the meantime she crops up quite a bit in my previous blogs if you fancy a taste of what is to come 😊

Firstly thank you so much for taking the time to write such an in depth set of suggestions. It was very kind of you and I’m very grateful to have such caring people comment on my videos. Thankfully I have managed to turn my life around since making this vlog over a year ago. I have moved my boat to Bristol and begun a new Life as a Tree Surgeon and I’m in a new loving relationship. My music is still as important as ever and I have slowly built myself back up ❤

@@mynarrowboatlife Thank you for such a prompt reply. Sometimes a 'door closes", only for another to "open". :) With hindsight (ref: costs - from that question about "price), would you advise your younger self the same strategy or perhaps purchase an already "lived-in" narrowboat, therefore saving additional costs / purchases ? P.S grow the moustache again :)

@@barringtonofmorpeth​​⁠That is a great question! Would you mind if I used it for a Q&A video? (Moustache is back btw)

Thank you! Sarah is superb at creating beautiful soundscapes that draw you in ❤

Thank you very much! It’s a Banjola and has such an ethereal sound to it. The perfect compliment to Sarah’s voice

Thanks for the support, how long have you been following my channel?

The last couple of years. But, for some reason I’ve not been getting notifications about your new vids. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Last one I watched was when you were on the Isle of Skye. 😘🌻

I think you need to click the ‘bell’ icon to get notifications

@ I have, but I’ll keep checking from now on, hopefully since I watched a couple of your vids again, I’ll start getting notifications or you’ll start appearing in my feed again. 🤞🏼 Anyway lol 😘🌻

@dewithistle910 I hope that works then!

Glad you like it

Thank you so much 🎉

Thank you so much! The slow pace of my videos isn’t for everyone. So I’m glad you like it

I am indeed well, did you check out the full vlog?

Glad you enjoyed it! I do try to make videos that I would want to watch, that have a distinct style

Thanks, it was fun travelling in the summer, but autumn is definitely here now. I have another video in the making right now

Thanks bro it’s nice you recognise my style, it’s been a long time in the making. That is indeed the same back pack for the mega walks!
