Big locks, big tunnel, BIG nerves | narrowboat vlog

- Welcome to another vlog and it's a biggie! We leave Braunston (again, but this time in a different direction!) and head through my first ever double locks and straight into the 6th longest tunnel on the network. Did I have a complete nervy b I hear you ask? Reader, of course I did.
On a calmer note, we finally got to take our narrowboat through Lock 5 (Kendalls Lock) which was named after Andrew's dad, which was really special.
Our journey south continues (hopefully next week!!!) and I can't wait to share it with you guys!

I bet many think because you are from London and are photographers, you and Andrew are not “real” narrowboaters. But this video should remind such people that Andrew and his family have a very long history of working on the canals. I doubt there are many living on canal boats today have a lock bearing their family name! And well done Kris!
Also, Andrew's family goes way back to boating on the canals. I think you both do extremely well, with it all. 📚☕️🍷🌱🌿🐈⬛
That’s very kind of you, thank you ❤️
Precious memories with your Mum and I’m sure Dad and Grandad would be chuffed to bits that you’re back on the water.
How lovely to share those moments with your Mum and the spirit of your Dad, As usual a joyous , delightful film, Thank you.
Thanks so much ❤️
Andrews mum, who's been through it thousands of times, looked suitably unimpressed at the drama 👌
Nice film lighting inside the tunnel
Completely 😂
Total respect for you guys, really do enjoy your as you call them vlogs. Kris you did brilliantly with all those locks then that spooky tunnel with your filming i felt as if i was there with you. Thankyou for all the pleasure you give my wife and i.
Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾 You did it!!! Cheers to the Braunston Tunnel Survivors Club!! You did great Kris! Personally I would have been in the boat, flat out on the floor crying. You even passed another boat!!! Loved that Andrew’s mom was there helping with the locks and then the large group of woman watching you. Amazing that Andrew had the Raymond’s tiller pin and the family windlass, which looked immaculate, and that the lock was named after his dad. Andrew and his mom were great. You kicked butt Kris…. and found religion. Have a drink🍷 You deserve it. Thank you.
😊🤗 Kathy
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment Kathy, I love them! Have a gorgeous weekend 😘🍷
Definately one of my favourite TH-cam Channels. The photography and content is always superb. Keep up the great work guys ! 👍
Thank you very much!
I've kind of fallen in love with Andrew's mum... and the fact there's an actual lock in the family. The tunnel has made me want to have a cup of tea and a sit down... phew! 😅
Kris you were brilliant!!! Well done you 😂
And how lovely was it to see Andrew's Mum there , then with the 3 of you together at the end in one shot ❤️
Thank you very much ☺️😂
Poor wee Andy must have been absolutely knackered in the first half of the video drinking all that hot tea and steering that wee barge down the canal watching everyone else do the locks. 🤣
That was so much fun. Only found your channel two weeks ago but watching a few vlogs a day. So relaxing and love your filming of the nature ànd animals. Great to share your adventure. Kris, you are smashing those locks.
Great job getting all the locks done Kris, imagine the pecs and glutes you’re going to have by the end of the summer😂. Well done in the tunnel as well, I think I’d have had to get off and walk above ground🫣. So nice to see Andrew’s mum on the boat and listening to her tell stories from her time on the boats. Lovely scenery as usual, you both just have an eye to make the mundane spectacular🥰🙋🏼♀️
Fantastic episode! The challenge and the daring!
White shirt remained unstained through lock gears and gates and unsullied beneath dripping tunnel seams! The photography was, as usual, beautiful and shot with unusual angles. The physicality of the locks, the warmth of being with Andrew’s mum, and the terror of the tunnel involved this loyal viewer as nothing else I’ve seen in days. Bronston Tunnel Survivors Club - Huzzah!
Oh wow, It's you! Andrew your mum is so sweet and lovely. I'll net she would've steered the tunnel without a load of fuss. Great vlog guys.
yay another video🤎🎀💗🍷
Me in this video whining for a 🍷 haha
Hair is hairing! 🤩 Suspenders are suspending. Not only sharp in the brains, but also in the looks! A Kris and Andrew vlog is very much needed today! Thanks so much. x
Hahaha at suspenders are suspending 😂😂😂. Thank you Claudia 😘
The Mellow Cello in the abyss.......nice
☺️
I was so stressed with that tunnel, but wow, you did amazing, well done!
Wow, Finally - you made us wait 😁😁 - I'll save it to enjoy over the weekend😍🤩
Have a fab one! 😘
Kendall’s gate very special thank you for sharing
Smiling all the way through,Thank you for sharing your tunnel adventure 😊
That’s lovely to hear, thank you! 🥰
I’ll take a wait for this quality of vlog, such a classy channel, love it!
Really appreciate that 🥰
Brilliant as always! Thanks for sharing this…
Very impressed at your pristine white shirt throughout ❤
Ah don’t be, it got filthy at the bottom! But I can confirm that vanish spray does get lock grease out 😂
Passed you today, really hoped you’d be around at the festival so I could say what an amazing eye you have for videography. Keep it up!
Nice happy to start with you two.
Hi, welcome 😊❤️
Almost certainly the only Canalboat Channel where the phrase “Saying hello to the kids hotboxing the tunnel” will be heard.
hahaha
Really looking forward to seeing your videos of a stretch of canal I know well down to London. They’re so beautifully done.
Thanks so much! I hope you’ll enjoy the upcoming vlogs 😊
Loving your vlogs. Keep having fun.😁x
What a fabulous video!! I laughed all the way through the tunnel 😂😂. Yes, thank you, I will watch it again after I finish these pork belly tacos!
Pork belly tacos sound DELISH! Thank you! 🥰
Wow! Kris, you’re a rockstar! Nice job on the tunnel!! I wasn’t even on the boat and I was sweating. Andrew is the absolute calm in the face of chaos, real or imagined. Never thought 2 boats would fit to pass each other but like Kris said more room than she thought. Rosemary, you’re also a rockstar. I loved hearing your stories about the locks and tunnels. Your family is truly an amazing source of knowledge about long boating. Don’t know if that’s the proper term but you get my gist. Don’t let your knowledge get lost. Record it either on tape, film or by writing. It’s an important piece of information. Well I hope to see you all next time. Be well and thanks for taking us along. Love from the states.❤ ooh, I know…publish a booklet about your time on the canals .
We've yet to do a tunnel. Looks fun 🎊
so nice to see you on the move. ❤️
Your bow light added fiery ambiance to that murky tunnel trip. Amazing navigating! Cue Tunnel Of Love (Dire Straits).
So nice to include Mum on this trip. It just feels right. ATB.
I went through braunston tunnel in February, so cold and so long. You did well Chris Andrew and mom. I’ll remember Kendall’s lock for next time and think of your dad, Andrew
congratulations!!!
Thank you ☺️
Isn't it just
The beautiful life
As you know
And now with the star of this particular show
Andrew's mum ❤️
Get a grip lloyd
Well, yeah that also feels unfair
Coz you all did brill !!
Relaxing on the couch watching you work hard... Lovely video, great to follow your adventures. Mum's a star!
Hello from Kansas! That is so cool to have family history on the canal and be able to share it with your mom! Great job on the tunnel, you'll rate professional in no time! Thanks!
You're back! Finally. I was losing all faith in the notification bell.
🥹❤️
Excellent vlog you done well to keep your blouse staying white and excellent photography
Great vlog handling lock's and tunnel skills 👌 outstanding 👏
I went to Saltaire last weekend to David hockney art gallery there beautiful day had ice-cream from narrow boat there canal runs right through I think it would be a great place for you to barge to as always loving the vlog 🎉🎉❤
That sounds fab, we’re really excited to go back up north in the boat! Hopefully soon! ❤️
I'm new to you guys but have been watching waterway vlogs for an age. Most sympathetically edited bringing all aspects of such life together. Well done,
That’s lovely to hear, thank you very much! ☺️
You folks are wonderful ❤🎉😅
Great job on the tunnel how cool going through that …..it was so pretty when you came out of the tunnel …love your videos and can’t wait for the next one especially to see what you get at the bookshop … you do wonderful videos 📚💛📚
Oh, you did so brilliantly in that tunnel, Kris!!!
Thank you Sarah 😅
Feel the fear and do it anyway. Well done. 😊
Love the vibes. One small thing maybe because watching on a phone.. maybe turn down the sound of boats, water / main sound of footage to let the music when music is being used, the piano is lovely at the start and would be great when there is less talking and more footage, nonetheless.. this is no criticism I love it!
Tunnel kings and queens! Harecastle next???
One day!! 😅
The TH-cam algorithm has ‘found you’
I have been watching some channels over the last few months
Your canal boat is amazing. It’s how you and others manage to live in what is a confined space but you make it work.
I suppose it makes you think about ‘clutter’ and ‘ stuff’. My house is full of ‘stuff’ and if I had to downsize I would have to get rid of a lot
My relative is selling his flat in Notting Hill for around £700k. He has no ‘ties’ and has gone back to painting rather than his stall at Portobello Market
This lifestyle would be ideal. Moor up at Little Venice
Anyway ‘keep calm and carry on’
I live in Birmingham. We have more canals than Venice.
❤️❤️😃😃🏴🏴🏴👍 👍 😎😎😍😍😊😊
WELL DONE that girl.
We have friends that used to live on the canal, near Skipton on the Leeds to Liverpool. We did have a nice day out with them, however I admit I chickened out of going through the mile tunnel at Foulridge, we met them on the other side. This tunnel does have traffic lights, but I'm just too clostrafobic .
You most definitely deserve a glass or two. CHEERS
It was nice to see Andrew's mum, I bet she can tell us a few stories about canal life.
Already looking forward to your next video.
Regards to you all, cheers Millysue
Excellent stuff, you could easily pivot to become the narrowboat folk horror channel.
Hahaha 😅
I share the same horror with tunnels we are on the mon and brec and it collapsed once tut!!!
If you where gonna blast music during that underground segment, it probably should've been "Valley of the shadows/long dark tunnel" by Origin Unknown.
But seriously, you braved it, well done!
Great tip, maybe I should start a tunnel playlist for future trips 🎶 thank you!
Who’s playing cello? How nice!
That was a great video on every level. I loved it - then again, I love this channel. Congratulations on getting through the tunnel and surviving - and for looking impeccable after it all! BTW, I wouldn't recommend wearing Crocs for anything that involves water underfoot. They're great and comfortable but can get extremely slippy.
Thank you very much ☺️ yeah you’re right about crocs, they’re super useful for boating when you’re going in and out the whole time so can pop them on and off easily.
Your videos here are still the best! LOVE them every time, and they are the only one I'm following as everything else is just OVER & Over the same without most of the time any Q. One thing yet has Amazed me in this video near the start ... I never but heard about it ... seem a person with such white skin tone ever. Even towards your partner it is vary white + I assume what you call pure English or English Rose! GREAT all around all the best from New Zealand!!!
Thanks so much! I’m not even English by birth, I’m Ukrainian 😂 just very very pale!
Don't need another channel on narrowboats. My desire is already there, however your panic attack through the tunnel made me laugh (at your expense, sorry) subscribing!
Hahaha, welcome 😂
Everyone knows its Docs for Locks not Crocs with Socks for Locks. What a nice story about Kendall's (does it have the possessive?) Lock. Wonder what footwear he wore for them? Say hello to yer mum...she's great.
Dead at the rhyme, hahaha. Might have to get that done in cross stitch for the wall!
No possessive on the Lock name for whatever reason.
Would have been boots in the olden days I reckon. All the photos I’ve seen of working boaters everyone was very smartly dressed, we’re utter slobs in comparison.
14:41 Foxy 😊
Never let the paddle go down like that it cud catch u and seriously hurt u
The holding it by hand method Andrew was talking about? I would never!!
Thoroughly enjoy your vlogs but please, please stop your cursing!
Honestly, this is me trying 😂 I’ll do my best but I’m sweary by nature I’m afraid! Thank you for the nice words ❤️
You should go live in a condo so you can be safe and comfy
Tried it, didn’t like it 😂
What’s the problem? There’s a light at the end of the tunnel…🫠
