For one heart-stopping moment when you reached down I thought you were going to reveal the sodden knickers. Thank goodness it was just the sodding pump!
Hi Mark and Julie for what it's worth I say plough on.. you know it makes sense as you will soon become bored stuck on the quieter section plus I am sure your family wont mind driving the longer distance to see their Mater and Pater at Christmas..
I vote that you stay put and be near to your family. You don't know what's coming, more lock downs...be in a place that you can get to your family if you have to or as Christmas comes. Best to you both, Jane, Philadelphia
Mark, I would do what is best for the two of you! Where ever you two decided to winter I’m sure the adventures will be grand! I wouldn’t want to be on a river section if there is a chance of winter flooding.
I suggest you do what will make YOUR lives easier and happier! We will adjust, your family will adjust. We stayed in Newbury two years ago. I loved Newbury. What a nice town. Did you go under the large bridge in town? I think it was brick? It was fun. See you next week!
Hello you 2. Good to see you both. Ultimately it is your decision to stay or go. I think you guys should head out. 5 miles can get pretty boring for all those months. But just do what you guys feel is right. Just stay safe also. 💕💕💕
How about do the family thing. Challenge to you then VLOGing the subtle changing seasons over the weeks through the end of the year into next year. Win Win.
Hello there, choosing which canal is the best , car could rule which canal Easiest to move the car, enjoyable veiwing n Very interesting good camera, Thank you for sharing your video cheers take care see you soon
From NZ, we vote you stay put. Covid is not going away this winter so fewer people is obviously better, family is more important. You two can even make changing a pump interesting/amusing.
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Zayn Archer Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Sod us lot 🙃 stick with your family and show us some non-cruising content. We are very interested in seeing the area local to you, villages, country side, points of interest 👍
Thanks again for another great vlog I hope the water works problem is sorted (and Julie's), the curry looked great by the way. I think you should do what is best for yourselves ready for the shutdown of certain canals so sorry I suppose I'm not helping with the decision. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Those pumps drive me crazy: they leak long before they wear out. If you carefully unscrew the end you may find its the very poor gasket: seal with gasket sealer and you will have a good spare pump but watch the new one: I have had them leak from that gasket within a year.
Thanks again for your vlogs do enjoy the banter. Regarding your movements (if you get my meaning).with the Covid issue going only one way few of us will be spending time with our families over the coming months. I would move on.
hope your faucet issues are resolved, I think the decision to stay or go to Caen Hill is yours, and I think you will take the one that works best for you
Carry on please as you both give me a good laugh and I need cheering up as I live in the Philippines I cant see my my expat friends and cant get a flight home yet because of instructions
stay put at least you can have plenty of canal to cruise on rather than be stuck in a small section...love your sense of humour...better to have a good laugh than spit and scream...
The old railway bridge you saw past Newbury would have been the “Didcot, Newbury and Southampton “ line, which went through Winchester.. I can’t remember where you said the stoppages were, but would say you’d be better to make your way towards Devizes if you can. Lovely video. When I know where you are for the winter, I might try and find you. All the best and stay safe.
Sod the family, were,s the nearest supermarket? K&A yes Bristol? Lemonade in Whiskey! arrr just don't visit are a distillery in Scotland or you will be shot! Julie is Mark growing matching grey in his beard highlighted by his mistarft? 😊
Hi Mark Why was Julie on the floor when she got her Knickers wet ????!!!!. Mark don't you switch the pump off at night to stop it hunting at least you can get a nights sleep. Cheers
hi guys firstly Kudos on the pink hair unless its not supposed to be like that then no comment and I'll move on. :) personally even though it would mean less videos which is a crime in its self , I would stay on this side of the long pound, if it means your closer to family and friends for xmas and if its easier to get supplies because of lock down that would be my choice.
What is safe..Explain how you can moor up...with Re strictions of time.element Canal Trust? selfist..to Bristol..or have stay up add the family to videos..Weather issue consider
Did you say you look like Michael Caen Mark? - see what I did there? 😂 Could you not go back and do the Wey/Basingstoke then go to Bristol in March as an option? (looks widebeam according to the map?)
Hiya Guys, another great vlog, now you’re in my area, I live in beautiful Marlborough, not far from the canal, loads to explore all around here, personally I would go for the long pound !I wait to see, good luck
I know Julie really appreciates your loving care by cooking her dinner. You are a good man!
I try, Hilda but rarely succeed
For one heart-stopping moment when you reached down I thought you were going to reveal the sodden knickers. Thank goodness it was just the sodding pump!
Even I have my limits, Waywed. I'm not that cruel ;-)
Family everytime. Life is short make the most of your family. They won't always be there.
Family is everything. We cherish the time together
Hi Mark and Julie for what it's worth I say plough on.. you know it makes sense as you will soon become bored stuck on the quieter section plus I am sure your family wont mind driving the longer distance to see their Mater and Pater at Christmas..
That might be the plan, Eric.
Unique style and great senses of humour, you deserve to build a super channel
Working on it, Jim
Great video - go with your intuition/gut feeling on where to be. A fry up is well deserved. 💗💙🙋♀️
Yes! Thank you!
another great vlog guys kept simple and real without whistles and bells making it much better viewing. Kind regards Misty and Me
Glad you enjoyed it
I vote that you stay put and be near to your family. You don't know what's coming, more lock downs...be in a place that you can get to your family if you have to or as Christmas comes. Best to you both, Jane, Philadelphia
We are undecided at the moment, Jane
@@WeirontheMove you don't want to be stuck on the wrong side.
Family first.. good pub in area, shopping, sites if possible, Holidays are upon us. We'll be ok.. Take care, ATP.
We'll make a decision soon
Mark, I would do what is best for the two of you! Where ever you two decided to winter I’m sure the adventures will be grand! I wouldn’t want to be on a river section if there is a chance of winter flooding.
Neither would we, Mark
I love the fact that you two giggle and laugh, great vlog and stay where you are, see the family for Christmas x
We'll take it under advisement, Tracy. All the best and stay safe
Stay put, more lockdowns coming, you two are so funny together!
Thank you, Kathy
Stay put and enjoy your family.
That's the plan!
Stay close to family. God Bless.
We are undecided
I suggest you do what will make YOUR lives easier and happier! We will adjust, your family will adjust. We stayed in Newbury two years ago. I loved Newbury. What a nice town. Did you go under the large bridge in town? I think it was brick? It was fun. See you next week!
Hi Sue, we did but we didn't stay in Newbury overnight.
Loved the wet knickers story Mark, but be careful Julie might wet your knickers lol. Great ride and love the pink hair Julie
The whole thing was true, just not as sordid as it may sound. Thank you for the complement about my hair 😁
Thank you🙏✝️🕊🙏
Welcome!
Stay. Family and friends are important, particularly during these strange times.
They are, Mary. You are right. Stay safe
Hello you 2. Good to see you both. Ultimately it is your decision to stay or go. I think you guys should head out. 5 miles can get pretty boring for all those months. But just do what you guys feel is right. Just stay safe also. 💕💕💕
We will, Kimberley. 5 miles is going to get stale pretty quickly we think
Love ur hair !! I enjoy watching ur videos! U two are funny!!! From Ohio USA
Glad you like them!
Keep the prop spinning and GO GO GO... the family will come visit you (well they might!)
That's the plan!
How about do the family thing. Challenge to you then VLOGing the subtle changing seasons over the weeks through the end of the year into next year. Win Win.
We hope to do that while cruising. Showing the seasons is one of the reasons we love filming
Sod the family, enjoy our cursing 😜
There'll be no cursing on this boat
Hello there, choosing which canal is the best , car could rule which canal
Easiest to move the car, enjoyable veiwing n Very interesting good camera,
Thank you for sharing your video cheers take care see you soon
Glad you enjoy it!
Thermal cooker curry. Make it in the morning, put in the thermal and it will cook while you travel. No power needed.
Sounds like a great idea
From NZ, we vote you stay put.
Covid is not going away this winter so fewer people is obviously better, family is more important.
You two can even make changing a pump interesting/amusing.
Trust me when we say that Mark is the world's worst at manual jobs so it would need to be X-rated for the swearing if we filmed it ;-)

@Zayn Archer It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!

Thanks so much 😊 We like moving and the short travel area this end will drive us potty we think

If you carefully unscrew the end you may find its the very poor gasket: seal with gasket sealer and you will have a good spare pump but watch the new one: I have had them leak from that gasket within a year.
We've kept the old one for spares
Thanks again for your vlogs do enjoy the banter. Regarding your movements (if you get my meaning).with the Covid issue going only one way few of us will be spending time with our families over the coming months. I would move on.
Good tip!
Go west :-)
Bristol and then the Severn estuary to Sharpness! Cuts out all those locks and gets you back on the system again...
That sounds like a plan
Get cruising ! Lol . Love your vlogs. Look forward to them each week
Chris
Thanks, Chris
hope your faucet issues are resolved, I think the decision to stay or go to Caen Hill is yours, and I think you will take the one that works best for you
We certainly will, Jean-Louis. Take care and stay safe
Go for the long pond. Definitely the need to move. Itchy pants rather then wet knickers. Louise and Dave
We think it's all a moot point now that lockdown is here. Ah well, back to lockdown vlogs again.
@@WeirontheMove ooops yep sorry
Definitely voting for option number 2 think of the viewers we definately take priority .
Very true, Julie
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. So apologies to your family 😁
We'll let them know, Owain
Did Julie get her fry up, and did Mark eventually get his beer? That was a cliffhanger ending!!
Yes and yes to both questions. But the beer wasn't until a few days later.
10:49 It's like getting mooned! You really need a longer selfie stick.
I've got a long selfie stick but incredibly short arms.
Carry on please as you both give me a good laugh and I need cheering up as I live in the Philippines I cant see my my expat friends and cant get a flight home yet because of instructions
We'll make a decision in the next week, Peter. Stay safe there in the Philippines
Yes, please us lot.😋 Do the long pound.👍😁
Understood. We might
Keep going and enjoy...winter is long and hope yours is better than ours 12F today and snow. Bug has picked also, USA
Thanks, you too!
looking good on the cut
Always!
stay put at least you can have plenty of canal to cruise on rather than be stuck in a small section...love your sense of humour...better to have a good laugh than spit and scream...
We agree. Laugh, and the world laughs with you
Stay put...Peace and quiet... No trekking for the car...I assume the 14 day limit gets suspended during that time if you're trapped by shutdowns.
The only time it gets abolished is in a national lockdown, and that's unlikely to happen, Steven
@@WeirontheMove so if you get stuck between two lock shutdowns....you still have to move?
@@STW1964 We do
MOVE move move YOUR MOVERS , SO MOVE.... 5 MI VERSES 15 MI , NO QUESTION move. CHEERS
That's what we are thinking, plus down the flight and beyond
The old railway bridge you saw past Newbury would have been the “Didcot, Newbury and Southampton “ line, which went through Winchester..
I can’t remember where you said the stoppages were, but would say you’d be better to make your way towards Devizes if you can.
Lovely video. When I know where you are for the winter, I might try and find you. All the best and stay safe.
Thanks for the info, Lionel. We think we will end up in or around devizes for the winter. Either top or bottom of the flight
Nothing like a "Triple FFF" (full fat fry-up).
Nothing beats it, Roger
keep on keeping on guys.
We might just do that
Forgot to say can we have more scenery & less of Mark's head when he on the back deck 🤣
great vlog cheers, i would move water food waste disposal essentials, take care both keep well keep safe.
Good tip!
Get moving and get to the Long Pound towards the Kanehill Flights (if I spelt that right)
Your spelling is wrong but the message is clear. We think you are right and we probably will go that way
Hi. Cruising the Cut bought me here i think. If you had just bought a Widebeam and had to chose a start point, would it be North or South network?
The North without a shadow of a doubt. If we didn't have family down south that's where we'd be because there are more wide canals there
Try getting your ham radio license, its lots of fun, but the math for me made me almost pull my hair out.
I don't have a problem pulling my hair out
Sod the family, were,s the nearest supermarket? K&A yes Bristol? Lemonade in Whiskey! arrr just don't visit are a distillery in Scotland or you will be shot! Julie is Mark growing matching grey in his beard highlighted by his mistarft? 😊
It's only blended whisky, Vinny. Julie likes it with lemonade. I drink it neat
Hi Mark Why was Julie on the floor when she got her Knickers wet ????!!!!. Mark don't you switch the pump off at night to stop it hunting
at least you can get a nights sleep. Cheers
We used to and that led to the depressurising. We think that's what caused the issue along with the leaking tap.
long pound :)
Might be

We agree with you, but 5 miles is such a small space for 5 months in one place. Julie would strangle me out of boredom
Caen Hill flight!!
Absolutely!
What is safe..Explain how you can moor up...with Re strictions of time.element Canal Trust? selfist..to Bristol..or have stay up add the family to videos..Weather issue consider
There's a lot to consider, Patricia
Please us LOL
We might
Did you say you look like Michael Caen Mark? - see what I did there? 😂 Could you not go back and do the Wey/Basingstoke then go to Bristol in March as an option? (looks widebeam according to the map?)
I see. Very clever. The Wey and Basingstoke involves going onto the Thames which is in flood for most of the winter, so not an option.
Stay put and do what Dr. Paul S. Bates suggested in his post (6 posts below mine). Honest guys keep it simple, stay put for now.
We'd need to go on the Thames and that will be in flood. So, that isn't an option unfortunately. 5 miles is a small travel area for restless folk
Hiya Guys, another great vlog, now you’re in my area, I live in beautiful Marlborough, not far from the canal, loads to explore all around here, personally I would go for the long pound !I wait to see, good luck
We know Marlborough very well. We have shopped there many times. A beautiful place and full of old world charm
Long pound...
Maybe we will, Dale
I don’t know what u got to moan about think about your poor wife has don’t all the work
And that work is always appreciated, especially with my expertise in beige food, Kathleen
A1M most boring!
M4 comes close
Stay on the side that has the best facilities and food shops... I think another lockdown might be coming
That's the plan!
