Before I make my comments, I have a disclaimer.i have never been on a narrow boat, I've never seen a narrow boat in person. I have watched thousands of narrow boat vlogs 😏 Ok here comes my Grandma concerns. Please be careful in the locks. It only takes a second for a catastrophe to happen. If you slip off the side you could get crushed or drown. I enjoy your videos and would miss you 🥰 Thank you
Thanks so much for you concern Penney, they really can be dangerous, you build confidence with everyone one, though we haven't really run into any issues, as newbies were wearing boots to make sure we don't slip, and I suppose learning to balance over time will help too, thanks again :)
Thank you for putting this post up - I have been on a narrowboat and I totally agree with you. Do not climb off the boat until it is *stationary* please! You're a lovely couple - stay that way
Just a suggestion, keep your centre line along the roof ending at the stern, then when you jump off, you can take it with you and handle the boat from the centre, easier to pull in than using stern or bow lines.
Yes we were using the center rope originally in locks but found the boat seamed more stable using the two end ones, we do still use the center one as our main line when jumping off, it was just a really tight landing area at this occasion, thanks for your comment 😀
It’s exciting to watch what you are up to along the rivers and canals and I am glad we could play our little bit towards your journey. Your song went very well with the movement of the boat.
Thanks mum and thanks for your awesome footage, glad you noticed the be of my song cheekily snuck in 😀
So guys if the captain crashes like that it’s called “Touch sensitive mooring” if the crew crash like that it’s called “ Ow bugger mooring” yet again another fantastic vid please keep them coming. Regards from Australia.
Haaa spot for on, I’m going to use that from know on. Thanks for watching all the way from down under Colin, such a fun adventure 😀
This channel is just cherry 🍒
Thank you so much 😊😊
Yay for a new video 😃 I wait for each new episode with baited breath
Hahaa thanks so much Shane, baited…I like it 👍😀
Love your vlogs guys - full of energy - keep up the fab work and enjoy boat life 😃 that was a good crash too 😂 at least no one was hurt but did anything smash inside ? I’ve lost a few good bottles of wine for less than that 😂
Aww thanks, Iv been been meaning to view a few of your vlogs, just been so busy, thanks for your lovely words, is t narrowboat life just amazing, no nothing got broken thankfully… the front off our boat does look like it has a small dent. Look forward to seeing you on the canals and rivers narrowboat pirate 😀
Loving the vlog and challenges, hope you guys sort out the leak and fast
Thanks Phil, we really enjoyed every minute of it, even working on the leak was kinda fun...as long as we don't sink haha :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot nice one but please don’t sink 👍🏻😊
Brilliant vlog. As always.
Thank youuu ☺️
Just came across your channel, love the vibe!! 😊
Thanks so much :)
I think the two of you are wonderful! I love the boat but sorry she’s got a leak. Hang in there!
Still laughing about the can of Pepsi!!!!!
Thank you for joining us on our adventure Shoan 😀
Great editing. Really good vlogs. I enjoy um bruv and bruvette..
Thanks Will 😀
CRT lock off paddles/gate when there is a problem with them before they get round to repairing them - I assume the other authorities so the same
We were on the Glasson Branch in June and on the six locks about 1/3 of the paddles were locked off
oh that's interesting , I thought maybe it was because it was quite shallow coming up towards that lock, but know thinking about it I do remember my side being extra tricky, so can you still operate them in your situation?? or do you have to find an alternative route?? thanks for your comment Dave :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot Its normally one paddle thats locked, so the lock is still passable, just takes longer to fill/empty, if there are gate problems they will put a closure notification on the CRT website (which can send out notifications)
That’s great to know, otherwise you’d have a whole back log of poor little narrowboats trying to U turn 😂 disaster 😀
Chris should now be known as “Ram man” , Becca should now be officially recognised as Captain for her Exceptional command at the Helm.
It’s a good time to let becca become captain and I take a back seat sipping cups of tea 😅😂
Pappa T's grown a BEARD!!
i could have sworn i saw him without a beard!! lol,
....crushing one of those white.......things..... love it!! Love your channel, greetings.
haha thanks, I actually really like the white yogurt pot cruisers, though we've heard they hate narrowboaters.. especially in locks :)
Great to see Huntingdon , where is was born :)
Lovely place
nice video
Thank you 😊
Hello Crew - At 1:03 the large building on the left is (was) the Godmanchester Hoisery Mill (making undergarments and the like for men and women since 1924) but was originally called the Huntingdon Hoisery Mill which is strange as it’s on the Godmanchester side of the river…. Now it's fancy apartments
At 1:05 and just to the left of the bridge is an archway which was used to pull up supplies into the factory - I used to row my dinghy in there but it was pretty rank…
Talking of sides, you may have not noticed the bridge is lacking in the fine architrave visible on the Huntingdon (right) side - it was a joint job but Huntingdon had more cash hence the difference! They met in the middle and it was a case of ‘yeh, in yer face!”
At 1:34 is the A14 road which heads towards Cambridge. Well. it did... You will notice no traffic because about 1/2 mile to the right the road ends and soon this bridge will be no more as there is a new bypass further south
On the left is the Bridge Boatyard which was a hive of activity during the years before cheap holidays to Greece and cheap beer killed off boating holidays. Luckily, things are on the mend but it's worth a few goes at steering before hiring a boat. On the right is the Bridge Hotel which has a fine selection of wines in exchange for your boat..
Brampton Lock is my favourite lock since childhood - please don’t destroy it!
TIP 2:37 - Mooring - the more you pull in the front end, the less the back end will move in..
Lock on one of the “slackers” - it’s damaged and is due to be repaired. Further use would kill it. Saying that, if you’re going upstream (which you are) the slackers should have already been closed unless some inconsiderate idiot you have recently passed failed to finish their half of the job. When you leave a lock downstream, close the slackers or as my Mum always said, if you’ve gone to the loo, put the seat down…
5:02. You’re now going under the new A14 to Cambridge - That old one at 1:34 is soon to be history so you've recorded a bit of history...
Happy cruising and I’ll fill you in on more useless facts as you travel upstream... Just wait until Castle Mill Lock... you're gonna love it. MWH x
oh how amazing we wondered what the beautiful large building was, the area has a huge amount of history, that's interesting about the bridge, the one in st ives was very similar, so much approaching these large structures and passing through them. it was a lovely lock, but the they have made it very difficult for long boats to moor up on the landing area...you approach it head on, though we saw other boats ignoring the signs to go round the other way making the landing area a lot easier to approach. amazing knowledge and definitely no useless facts, its wonderful to learn about these areas ,thanks for your lovely comment :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot The bridge in St Ives is one of only four in the country with a Chapel in the middle. It used to be twice as high. There's hinges embedded into the bridge that used to hold gates as it was a "toll" bridge - if don't pay; yer not crossing! If you need more info before your next vlog, PM me and I'll do my best! Watch out for the seals- there's a few around (no kidding!) TIP - If you haven't already bought it, get yourself the Imray Guide to the Great Ouse - possibly the best $15 you'll ever spend. Also buy a spare lock windlass and a spare lock electric box key because you're gonna loose one at some time!
Just an observation, there is something odd about your front rope fender if you notice it just flipped up and allowed the front of your boat take the brunt of the impact.
Yes. I wondered that too. It didn't seem to help in the way it should.
Yes great observation, I don’t think it was connected properly, unfortunately our poor lovely boat took the hit ☹️
First and hey
Thanks, your back 😀
Everyone has to learn ,you had to learn ,some people learn the hard way
at least we didn't sink haha :)
Great guys , being a local to the Cambs area , when u thought u was coming into Huntingdon, I’m pretty sure you was in St Ives,,, not that it matters, great video, I bet your gagging to investigate that leak I would be ??
Owww maybe?? There are those a lovely big bridges in both st Ives and Huntingdon, but we could be wrong 😅 can you tell we’re beginners, thanks for your comment and your kind words 😀
Definitely Huntingdon - there's a chapel on the medieval bridge in St Ives, and there isn't a modern bypass bridge at St Ives
Yes we did think it was Huntingdon, thanks for clearing that up David 😀
Those white things……… Tupperware bubble boat you mean 😂
I think the technical term is 'yogurt pot'
Poor guys
Hi guys. What’s the name of he Co who did your covers. And a link please. Xx gadgit xx
Hi, we used Titan boat canopies, a lovely bunch, here's the link to there website, you get 10% if you mention CROBOT as the code, titanboatcanopies.co.uk/
Those "white things" as you refer to then, do have a name you know - yogurt pots ;)
awww cute day bro, cheers for having me on board 😃😃
You are still the only one to take a ride on crobot towers apart from me and Becca, your privileged😀
i wouldn't be buying a "union jack" anytime soon - It's about to become redundant !
Will go with a beautiful Pepsi can then 😅😂
Pretty sure they call those white fibreglass boats yogurt pots?
That’s it… yogurt pots is the technical term 😂😂 and a very good analysis too 😀
So are you going to string us along for weeks before you tell us that you have a broken water line?
Sorry we don’t mean to, but we have had no way of having a proper look until we moored up properly, we’re quite sure it’s not coming from the rivers which is good, so yes it’s probably an internal leak
I've been nomdic.what is a crobot? Please get an automatic bilge pump.. The Lock was a broken paddle.. I'll bet.
Ahh ok that’s interesting to know, thanks Jeff, Becca’s surname is ‘crow’ mine is ‘Talbot’ … so together we are ‘crobot’ haaa a bit silly really😂
What is a Crobot....
Becca surname is ‘crow’ , mine is ‘Talbot’ … together we ‘crobot’ 😀
@@TheNomadicCrobot thank you for answering this!!! I've wanted to know since the first vlogs but didn't like to ask!
I've even googled it wondering what it was and obvs got nothing
