The trouble with Reading is that the council own some of the mooring places. For years they didn't manage them and people just squatted on the best sites. Then the council gave control to the company who manages their car parks, and a very unfriendly bunch they are too. Their website threatens boaters with cctv , big fines, and legal action to have boats confiscated if you don't pay their £10 a day charges (2019 rate). However I moored there for two nights in October 2018 (there were no signs about mooring on display) without any action being taken. There are some moorings by the Bel and the Dragon pub and the staff there are very friendly and helpful - and the pub is on the site of the old Huntley and Palmers biscuit factory where Bugsy Malone was filmed!
Speaking as some one who is up to his back teeth with this bloody virus you two are the perfect antidote, i cant do any more DIY or gardening, good result with getting the drone replaced stay in your happy place.
Loving the incredible scenery along with the historic narrative. Two incredibly sad, haunting reminders of the tragic losses of the lives of Oscar Wilde and George Michael.
Loving all the Vlogs guys, I'm all caught up now and have got my Husband (also called Colin) into watching as well. Have a great week, and Happy Birthday Colin. We will have a glass of wine for you. xx
Evening boys hope your both well after your live chat last night Some lovely houses on the river but I prefer silver fox Glad you got a replacement drone Colin Also Happy Birthday 🥳 Colin for tomorrow Have a great day Take care Stay safe x x
My what a lot of battle cruisers there are steaming up and down the Thames. So you have managed to stock up on Jaffa Cakes 😂😂. Ohh have you decided to show us the secret cupboard 🤗😳. Stay safe ❤️❤️
So glad you got a replacement drone due to the in-flight software problem (@8:15); thats great service, just like Bikerstaff's followup service. Although you have had some nasty breakages, the manufacturers are certainly guardian angels, and well worth recommending.
Without your delightful videos I am sure I wouldn’t survive this insane election. Your history lessons and asides are wonderful and when your references tickle Shaun I wind up giggling with him, even though I don’t understand half of what’s going on. I would have loved you guys anyway but right now you are definitely keeping me from going over the edge of the abyss.
You guys are awesome!! You are one of my relaxing escapes from this crazy world we are living in. I have always struggled with my anxiety and life in 2020 has been pretty rough, especially here in the US. Thanks for being a moment of happiness for me in the evenings when I watch and relax while watching your videos!! Please keep them coming. Best wishes to you both!!
OMG, over the past week I have been watching your vlogs from the beginning. and like I said, OMG. I have enjoyed every single one. I had tears in my eyes as Silver Fox was launched on to the water. So sorry to hear the sad news of Dillon, such a gorgeous dog, I can't say that I ever heard him bark. RIP Dillon xx Carry on the great vlogs. In the past week, I think your subscriber has risen by a thousand, so deserved. Now I have to wait another 6 days before the next vlog. Plus thank you, Colin, for your talk of mental health. I also have mental health so have some (not a lot) knowledge and experience of it. Thanks to you both, you're great guys. Keep it up. xxx
Hi boys. Thanks for another great vlog, beautiful houses along the Thames. Sorry to hear about the drone, and glad you got it replaced 👍Have a great birthday Colin 🥳🥳 Take care 💜😊
A very enjoyable Vlog, Colin I have to come out as Mr Toad like you.Amongst other things I’ve seemed to have developed a touch of what is these days called bi polar, all schemes Poop Poop one minute then prison the next. Exasperating for poor Ratty who I would really prefer to be !
@@FoxesAfloat I am lucky I found my ''Ratty and we've been together for 50 years. I believe that you have gone down a similar road, it's not without problems but it works! John x
Can’t tell you guys what a wonderful escape it is to watch your videos during this anxious time of Covid and the endless political tensions here in the US. Thank you...thank you!
You lads should reach out to DJI about a sponsorship for your next drone or get one free in exchange for an unboxing vlog. Just a thought. I don’t mean to step on anyone’s toes. Cheers, fellas. Keep ‘Em coming.
Happy birthday Colin for yesterday from a fellow August baby. We're currently under lockdown and curfew in Melbourne (Australia). Only allowed out for an hour a day for exercise and one person per household out to shop. Your vlogs are very entertaining and making our COVID iso easy to bear. I love all your interesting facts and history, Shaun's caring forebearance and the scenery. Stay safe and look forward to the next one.
I drive trains up and down the GWR mainline, I see loads of red kites every day, there's so many in that area. Once saw a flock of about 40! Usually only see them in small groups of about 3 or 4 though. Love the vids, keep trucking
Super filming, and love the stories and info, but pity about the drone hiccup, alls well that ends well I suppose. Really enjoyed. the views. Thanks once again and happy birthday Colin.
I for one enjoy Colin's little tid bits of "useless information" as well as his stories and pictures of the past, please don't stop. Oh, btw a group of red Kites are known as a wake.
Incredible videography Colin, superb editing to the rhythm and beat of the music which I thought was really suitable... Great choices of sound tracks, they make watching your videos so much more exciting & enjoyable... 👍🏻🤶🎄 You are funny, did you seriously stand there starkers amongst the nettles assuming it was a "naturist" area... Nice one, I'm sure you enjoyed the stimulating experience and enjoyed the airing 🤔😊🙄☺️😳🤗😁😁😁😁 Gosh you both cheer up our days... 😊😂🤣😅💕
@@FoxesAfloat nice one, I love a dare too.... However, need to curtail that though, winter is too cold for hanky panky and scaring the morning birds. 🙄☺️😂🤣😁. You can't beat the freedom of the outdoors hey.... Enjoy 😉😯😄
I really enjoy the stories you tell about the different regions and bridges. If you haven't already you should write a book - it would be great to use it as a guide while cruising the canals :)
Happy Birthday Colin. Hope you have a great day, nearly twenty eight? OK, I believe you. 🤞. There's some fab houses along the stretch. Pity I'm not a billionaire. Oh well, I'll keep dreaming.
Got too close to a Canadian Goose and her goslings in the spring with my Mavic Air. Mama grabbed the drone out of the air and drowned it. Took me 2 weeks to find it underwater and then sent off for my first DJI Care Refresh. Had a new drone 5 days after I mailed mine off.
It’s a bit of a catch-22 because you still have to pay an additional fee for the refresh when you use it, plus shipping. I think it came to $100 US to get a new Air. I want to say the DJI Care initial investment was $199 for the Air. All this for a Drone I got on sale at Wally World for $399 - Though I heard they got scared about ADS-B rules making all DJI obsolete and sold them super cheap. At the time, the Air was $799 every else and returned to that price afterwards. I’d love to get a Mavic Pro 2, but the Air does pretty decent stuff.
Love the low angle out board shots..... I am sat in my back patio haveing a beer after a hetic work day watlching your vid.... Your vids always make me smile and laugh which is so good in the times we are now in........
Free replacement drone, would love to know if us mere mortals would get the same service. There are some great houses along that stretch. Another great Friday vlog, Regards AJ
I really cant understand how you two get so many views but so few likes in comparrison! Why on earth arent more people clicking the like? Come on its not hard to do!
Your Drone might have failed but you guys never fail us! Full of informative, funny, and fantastic entertainment. Great live chat yesterday also ( which I watched today). I have not seen all or your video's but the ones I have are just so uplifting (apart from your recent loss) you never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you guys and keep up the good work. x
Hello there! You have released another smashing video !! Miss Dillon 😢 I look forward to your adventures every week ! Thank you Ciao from the Eternal City 🌃
Colin . your partner is a spring chicken . plenty of life left in him . keep him in good condition with an oiling and a good rub down now and again . and he will see you out . holly
Class Chaps. Very busy river but exceptional scenery. I too had a very similar incident with a fly-away mavic mini not long ago and they sorted me out very quickly. Great back up. Thanks for your efforts as always. Thoroughly refreshing and enjoyable viewing.
You two are hilarious! I'm absolutely loving this video. So chatty, so cheerful, and educational too! That first tune you play in the beginning (an awesome tune by the way) - times beautifully with some of your quirky antics! Brilliantly done. You're sooooooo talented!
Sorry to hear about the drone lads. Think Martin Zero's luck with drones must be catching! Strange to see those cruisers zipping past you. I thought the whole idea was to chug along and enjoy the scenery! Thanks again both, great vlog.
Sorry to hear about your drone, but wow you got a replacement! That's amazing. Hope your meeting went well. Watching you guys never fails to make me giggle and to put a smile on my face. Gloria 🐂
Guessing you guys headed off the Thames. It certainly hasn't been kind to you although your latest disaster came good. Some great scenery and magnificent homes tho'. Liked the way all the stink-boats gave you a wave as they passed (actually I made that bit up....) Keep safe guys!
Finally watched every video 🙌🏼 heading off bright and early tomorrow (Mon 10th Aug) on our first ever canal boat experience, union canal Falkirk to Edinburgh 🤞🏼all goes well.
Really been enjoying you videos, during our lockdown here in Melbourne, and as a proud Lancastrian always nice to hear northern voices! Keep up the smashing vids! x
I swear, I got to the bit about the cheese sandwich and suddenly was afraid I was about to start watching a video about a van or some such. *shivers* Glad you all had better luck and smoother cruising on this one, aside of course from ye olde drone failure (but as that wasn't operator error and the manufacturer made you whole, that's a pass). Hopefully the weather treats you well, and the next part of your journey is, hmmm, Keen & Appealing, right, that's the way to describe it! Stay safe and thanks as always for sharing the trip with us! And no ants!
Great vlog, gentlemen. Sorry to hear about the drone, but huzzah on getting a new one on the house! Looking forward to many more fine weekends watching y'alls travels.
After a few stressful weeks I finally found a quiet evening to catch up on your adventures. Sitting with a glass of my favourite beverage, I nearly painted the wall with single malt with your twitcher comment. Thanks for a very entertaining and informative vlog. Stay safe and well!
Once again Colin adding little tidbits about the area y'all in. Begin from the states i really enjoy the little tidbits. Hope y'alls meeting went well. Until next week
Oi Colin, ! You’re never too old for 💪 I’m 50 and still going strong , allot of life in the old boy yet 😂 great vlog, RIP drone. Fingers crossed you do the Kenneth 🤣 n Avon, but will forgive if you carry on the Thames
I am finally all caught up 😊 Hubby Dave got a head start while he has been furloughed but I’ve had to watch around work. I can’t wait until the next one Thursday! (Patreon’s privilege 😂) x
Lovely Vlog as per usual. I'll tell you what though guys your editing and synchronisation with the music is just bloody ace. Also really liked your live Vlog last night
W.H. Auden once wrote...”I have only to close my eyes, cross the iron bridge to the tow-path, take the barge through the short brick tunnel and there I stand in Eden again.” Thanks for sharing your journey. 🇨🇦
I have to say I watch you guys on a tv and for whatever reason it doesn't allow comments. You guys crack me up. I just watched the segment on Aspergers, I don't watch in order the tv has it's own mind, and that was an outstanding video. I lived with ADT for years and didn,t know until I was 50 something. The old photos on your video is great too. Stay well and keep the videos coming. Thank you.
Thanks for the Thames videos. As an American who has been to Manchester and London dozens of times, it is interesting to see and hear the stories of other parts of England.
Hello to Shaun...it was great to meet you today, we stopped for a chat on the Thames path. My girlfriend and I both think that you are more handsome and distinguished looking in real life and you are our favourite for your comedic input to the vlog. Alway nice to meet a fellow Guinness drinker.Look after each other. Eddie & Cristina.
Hi guys. Just found you on TH-cam and the past 3 days I have watched all your videos and caught up. You guys are great and I wish I was younger to take on your great adventure. Keep going and stay happy xxx
Hi guys really love all of the vlogs that you do you really make my day especially. With all that’s going on around at the moment I can see why your channel has taken of lovely scenery and history for those of us that don’t get chance to go there glad you got your new drone
What a great life you guys live I'm jealous must be nice to have all that space on the river apart from the speeding cruiser whizzing past great vlog take care roll on next Friday 👍😊❤
Hey guys I am watching your series on prime video, you are both very fortunate to have each other for strength ,support, and perseverance to be where you are today , cheers to both of you
I sure look forward to Friday’s for your vlog. Really makes me want to go on a narrowboat but I live in Canada so that won’t happen. Maybe one day.....stay safe guys!
We love you you guys!! Our son has autism, and watching your adventures is part of our weekly routine. He laughs his head off when we watch you every Friday, I love to see it! 😆❤️
i saw a flock of birds fly past the other day all stuck together they were vel-crows lol
👏 👏 👏
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha. I'm going to steal that one. My kids are going to 'love' it! 🤣🤣
Puntastic lol

Aww, thanks, John! Stay safe though 😛

Thank you so much! 🐾 ❤️🐾
2:35 from that angle, it looked like Shawn was taking a wiz lol
impressive flow if it was!
Haha! 😂
Isobel201 pretty sure they knew that while filming it!
Yes I thought that too 🤣🤣
LOL. They love to wind us up. 🤣
Nice reference to David about the cheese sandwich
Who's David?
First I learn dairy maid and now cottaging 🤣 I may have lived in the UK for 10 years but I'm still learning the slang you naughty boys 😆
Great job!
I could have listened to the exit music all day. Excellent vlog, it is a treat. Thank You Much.
Glad you enjoyed it

Maybe a bit of both 😂

Yes, manufacturer fault so replacement expected 👍🏻
I really cant understand how you two get so many views but so few likes in comparrison! Why on earth arent more people clicking the like? Come on its not hard to do!
We actually get a larger ratio of likes to views than the TH-cam average, so we're happy with that 👍🏻

Aww, thank you so much, Mark! x
So how many hours do wax the boat per month? Always look great and clean compared to outhers we see on the river.
A couple of hours a month.
I watch you two on “Britain by Narrowboat” on Amazon & I wondered if you all would be having more episodes on Amazon? Thank you for sharing.
Yes! Amazon want 3 more seasons 👍🏻 Season 2 starts later this year 👍🏻👍🏻
Foxes Afloat That’s great news! Very happy to hear! 🥰🥰🥰
where do yo get the Music you use from? I could do with good source of Music to use in in my Videos.... Family stuff only...
We use various websites including TH-cam's audio library and Epidemic Sound.
So can elevators and grocery stores. Nice and mellow.
Hello there! You have released another smashing video !! Miss Dillon 😢
I look forward to your adventures every week ! Thank you
Ciao from the Eternal City 🌃
Thanks for watching!
Love your vlogs! With bits of history... the story of Oscar Wilde was sad but true, a long time ago i visited his hotel in Paris were he lived.
So sad
Apparently - and it is probably apocryphal - his last words were “This wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. Either it goes or I do.”
Loved the ride thank you both for having me along. Take care Good news about the drone being replaced.
Us too!
Deep into rich boomer country in this one. My god, some of these homes and boats.
Nice, yeah?
You are now a true professional Colin with your editing and you are both charming, Nice to see the smiles coming back x
Thanks so much
Has you are the font of all knowledge, Colin. Why do rivers have locks?
Because they built weirs to make the river deep enough to navigate so they need locks to drop the distance of the weir.
Thanks!
Great little jazz piece at the end! Glad your drone was replaced free of charge, too. You two make my Friday post-work afternoon fun. Thank you.
Our pleasure, Jackie!
Colin . your partner is a spring chicken . plenty of life left in him . keep him in good condition with an oiling and a good rub down now and again . and he will see you out . holly
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Class Chaps. Very busy river but exceptional scenery. I too had a very similar incident with a fly-away mavic mini not long ago and they sorted me out very quickly. Great back up.
Thanks for your efforts as always. Thoroughly refreshing and enjoyable viewing.

Stink boats...😂😂😂
Happy birthday Colin,your vlogs are great,glad the drone got sorted,you and Shaun are so great together and keeping well xx❤️
Thanks so much
Finally watched every video 🙌🏼 heading off bright and early tomorrow (Mon 10th Aug) on our first ever canal boat experience, union canal Falkirk to Edinburgh 🤞🏼all goes well.
Hope you enjoy it!
Foxes Afloat, for the main it was amazing. If you miss out the worst storm in 240yrs and the 30ft breach in the canal 😂 we’ll try again in England.
Really been enjoying you videos, during our lockdown here in Melbourne, and as a proud Lancastrian always nice to hear northern voices! Keep up the smashing vids! x
Great to hear!
Good morning happy birthday colin hope u have a great day .....great blog once again ...
Thanks 👍
"You're a bit to old for that now" . Colin!!!!!!!
Shaun, you should push Colin overboard now and then. That'll teach him!
You are getting very cheeky, Anneke! 😂
@@FoxesAfloat No I'm not, but I'm very fond of Shean, he's wise and so very goodhearted.

After a few stressful weeks I finally found a quiet evening to catch up on your adventures. Sitting with a glass of my favourite beverage, I nearly painted the wall with single malt with your twitcher comment.
Thanks for a very entertaining and informative vlog. Stay safe and well!
Oh dear. I hope it wasn't an expensive malt 😬
Foxes Afloat no worries lads, the budget doesn’t go that far
Glad you got a free replacement drone! Those lil hummers are expensive!💜
Yes they are!
Once again Colin adding little tidbits about the area y'all in. Begin from the states i really enjoy the little tidbits. Hope y'alls meeting went well. Until next week
Thanks 👍
You two bring such great joy to so many of us, your fans! Thanks for sharing your lives with us....
Our pleasure!
Oi Colin, ! You’re never too old for 💪 I’m 50 and still going strong , allot of life in the old boy yet 😂 great vlog, RIP drone. Fingers crossed you do the Kenneth 🤣 n Avon, but will forgive if you carry on the Thames
Kenneth and Avon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No drones where harmed in the making of this episod..... oh wait :) Great stuff gentlemen !
You got that right!
You two are such a joy to watch. Funny, entertaining, informative.
Thanks so much!
You 2 work so hard on these videos.

😊 thank you
Loved the cheese sandwich reference,
Good outcome for the drone fail too. Phew!
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for the Thames videos. As an American who has been to Manchester and London dozens of times, it is interesting to see and hear the stories of other parts of England.
Thank you!
I know the deep pain of losing a drone. But the replacement service is awesome!
I love your editing style. The waterline shots are great.
Thanks so much!!
Another great vlog boys. Always makes me laugh. The Thames looks alright actually. Great service from the drone people. Take care. xx
yeah, great service.
Hello to Shaun...it was great to meet you today, we stopped for a chat on the Thames path. My girlfriend and I both think that you are more handsome and distinguished looking in real life and you are our favourite for your comedic input to the vlog. Alway nice to meet a fellow Guinness drinker.Look after each other. Eddie & Cristina.
Thanks!
