Kiwis Fly The Coop
New Zealand
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2016
We're travel-loving Kiwis in our 50's. Not old enough for the rest home but too young for the rest home but too old to backpack. We're out and about and staying active as much as we can, while we still can.
In 2017, we left our jobsc sold our house and nearly all our possessions. We spent 2 years house/pet sitting around Asia and parts of Europe.
We then brought a caravan and lived full time on the road, exploring NZ, and worked for 9 months so we can pack our backpacks at get back out there.
Living life a KM at a time.

Locks, Tunnels and Pubs
มุมมอง 793ปีที่แล้ว
We were starting to get into this life on the canal. When travel is no faster than a walking pace, we were rushing it slowly to our ultimate destination - that was, the historic Foxon Locks. The Foxton Locks consist of x10 locks (that's x2 staircases of 5 locks each). This was to be our 'turn around' spot and start heading back to Rugby, in order for us to get Bryn back to Willow Wren on time. ...
Are We Getting the Hang of This?
มุมมอง 595ปีที่แล้ว
We survived the first day/night and a few more locks under our belt. Are we getting the hang of this canal life? We settle into a rhythm, where things move at a walking pace. The gentle hum of the motor is the only sound we hear - we 'rush it slowly' on the waterways.

Novices on a Narrowboat!
มุมมอง 1.9Kปีที่แล้ว
Well there's a first time for everything, and narrowboating was something that Scotty and I were keen to try - but the options were endless. Did you know that there is 7,600km of navigable canals and rivers throughout UK alone???!! We narrowed (pardon-the-pun) our choices down by ticking the following boxes: 1. Relatively accessible (public transport is expensive to get to locations away from m...
How To Save Money Like a Local
มุมมอง 330ปีที่แล้ว
If you're not a full time resident of the UK, it is really hard to get any sort of Loyalty Card, hence missing out on some good discounts, especially at the grocery stores. Scotty nailed it, here are some things which you can do so that you can get all the Loyalty Cards you need to save you a quid or two whilst shopping in the UK.

We've Left NZ
มุมมอง 999ปีที่แล้ว
Well we're back in the land of TH-cam, what are we up to now you may well ask. We've stored the caravan and land cruiser safely in NZ and we're now back and currently in the UK. This is just a quick video to let you know what's happening and we're looking forward to posting more of our travels again.

Op I live in ross.
Great video 💚💫💚
That's my dad's farm
How much the cycle rental cost?
Nice to see a old woman traveling 😊. By the way what is the age of the women.
Great Video, spent some time here in 2019, but i didn't spend the time you guys did, thanks for sharing
Where’s the track go if u carry on
Thanks for that well produced we video ,,,Ive been to Gillespies once and looking forward to heading back there and your video has spurred me on ..cheers
At Harry's place 😂
Got to love those narrow UK roads!
Would u do this road in winter?
Hey Em, you need to be very careful during winter. We wouldn’t attempt it during heavy snow fall. The Old Man Range has claimed some vehicles during heavy snow. Google vehicle rescue Old Man Range and you will get to see what it is like during the winter months. The shorter track up to the Obelisk wouldn’t be quite so tricky.
Thanks for such an informative tour.
Love this cycling trail!!!
Loved it Keep the videos coming

I went there with my Son in April, I last went there about 1983 so I had forgotten what was in there, The road coming in is hard to drive on, Very little room for a car to move over, But some interesting History in there

First visited there from Christchurch in 1967 when I bought my first Land Rover. It's deteriorated somewhat since then!

Excellent!
It’s easy just follow the guidelines and you will be ok

We used to live in that area specifically near Foxton locks
Be sure to watch the video when it goes live, as I'm sure you'll recognise many of the areas we travel through 👍
The narrow boating looks like. Fun. Enjoy🍻

There are some nice canal locks etc near the Camden markets. Some cool canal boats that people live on. Enjoy your beer research Scotty.👍
Lovin’ those locks. I think it’s a bit like ‘train spotting’ except they’re narrow boats……lol. And yes, Scotty is taking his beer scientific research very 😳
Love you guys, you make me smile!
Awwww thanks guys.
