250 - The Immovable Swing Bridge! | Autumn Cruise Through Newbury - K&A Canal

- Today in this two-parter, we begin our cruise at Hamstead lock on the Kennet and Avon canal, with an aim to get as far as we can towards the Thames in daylight hours. The k&a is quite a slog, with its many, many locks and swing bridges, one proving tougher than most, when it was almost impossible for me to open it by myself, needing dads help to close it.

Nice one Josh. Look forward to the second one.
Hope you enjoyed your biscuits Andy, eventually! 😂😂
Thanks for watching 👀 glad you enjoyed the vlog.
Great vlog Josh with great scenery with good music. It's no wonder you run over them swan and ducks I never run over swans and ducks myself
Don't worry Keith no swans were hurt in this vlog. We love nature as you know and wouldn't hurt any wildlife on purpose. Thanks for watching 👀 and still supporting us Keith.
@@darkmatterxi do you ever come across electric locks on the canals and rivers your on. Which would you prefer manual or electrical. But at least you don't need a gym.
@@keithknightson4410 there are electric ones on the Thames Keith. Some road swing Bridges on the canals are electric but most manual. I personally prefer manual as you feel like you have done something. A bit of exercise doesn't hurt anyone. I am not one for the gym hate it.
Great video have a nice week 😀
Thanks Chris glad you enjoyed it.
Another great vlog, it's amazing how much work Josh must put in to planning, find out facts and editing it all. One of the best you tube channels along with Foxes afloat. Keep you the super work. Your such a great family..
Lovely comment Jennifer thank you so much 😊 ❤️
I love it when he eat biscuits and you make funny faces I do like a laugh and I'm glad you're back from your holidays hope you had a nice time
We had a lovely time on holiday. Josh has put 3 vlogs up of it so have a look and enjoy
How we does make me laugh especially when is it a biscuit
🤣🤣🤣
Nice work josh and Andy 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Thomas 😊
The green thing on Ghostbusters was called Slimer. lol Nice video.
That's right. I loved the original ghostbusters
Great vlog and cruise, loved it. Thanks for sharing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Steve 😊
Andy so funny
🤣🤣🤣
Lovely cruise. Hope your nan had a nice birthday. That swing bridge at the end was tough to move.
Joshs Nan had a wonderful birthday thanks. We took he to see my son Luke in his new house she hasn't seen it yet. And we spent time with my other son Tony and her great grandson George. She loved it.
Great video.
Thanks Mark
Not to worry Josh, we live and learn. 😎
Thanks Keith
I used to ‘steal’ a finger full of excess axel grease once in awhile to use on a ramp at another stop…. Luckily you don’t run into that problem too often. You are not fat Josh, just a big guy like your dad. Maybe a little chesty but you can easily do something about that. Do what you do because you got it going on! I’m 63 so not hitting on you..heh heh 😂
Thanks for the lovely comment Leslie. I have had a battle with my weight all my life and have always been on diets. Josh doesn't stand a chance with his Dad being so big he takes after him and my daughter too. The trouble is Andy is a very good chef and we eat good home cooked food.
Josh, you are not fat, Not, I enjoyed the vlog Thank You
Thanks Phil
DO YOU EVER REPORT PROBLEMS WITH LOCK GATES ETC LIKE THAT ONE FALLING TO BITS...?
Yes we do but it takes a long time for them to get around to repairing them
FG says woof to your fur kitties
Do you mean GG unless you have changed his or her name lol 😆. Meow meow back 💜
I'm gonna crack my phone won't rotate to see full screen ugh
Hope you get it sorted Phil xx
Excellent video luckily you didn't come across Stan Green as boaters have had bad experiences with him because he's a person thats says he knows everything about this and that and he's made a lot of boaters and general public life's miseries and films people for no reason or does stupid stuff and claims to be the victim when he has his feelings hurt and reports people to the police for no reason and all round not a nice person to meet
Thank goodness we didn't meet him. The majority of the people we meet are very nice people. It's the odd one that ruins it for people 😕 😒
If people insist on only using one gate, then rubbing their narrowboat against the inside edges of the gates, lock gates will leak progressively worse as time goes by.
Yeah, smooth entry might be 75% of the time.?
Usually we would, when mum is here. But we're trying to make good progress, I would have to cross the top gate then open the other bottom gate, wait for the boat to exit the lock, close that gate, then cross back over the top gates to shut the opposite bottom gate, I'm sorry but we simply don't have time to do that, especially when there really is no need, when we can exit with one gate anyway.
I like the mix of music non-music but if I might suggest, your new intro is too long. 1:48 is a long time to wait for the beginning. A punchy intro should be :30 and no more than :60
If you want you can fast forward the intro, this is something new we are trying and from the majority of the comments everyone seems to like it. Hopefully you will keep watching 👀
