Welcome to Leicester from the Canal & River Trust Volunteers, please stay on the Friar's Mill Visitor moorings until you see the notification that Birstall Lock 45 has reopened. I was aboard the Green Life-Boat 'Kingfisher' you saw retrieving litter above St. Mary's Mill Lock 40, it is owned by the Leicester City Council and manned by the Leicester Environmental Volunteers
the religious statues bit stems from the Indian funeral customs --- my friend Frank runs Barrow Boating and he does a lot of on the water funeral trade with our Indian population. There is also an area with a landing built where they carry out funerals.. I like your videos and your tunes.
Mesmerising, beautiful, and slightly soporific. Absolutely love your videos, and as already mentioned, your music is brilliant Benny. Hopefully, I can get to see you play one day. Do you ever advertise (wrong word) where you have gigs? You are the most chilled an watchable couple on TH-cam. Many thanks for all that you share with us.
Just wanted to say a big thankyou for your regular videos. I really look forward to each one. Keep doing what you do. They are interesting and well produced.
Quality soundtrack by Ben as always, started out with shades of Robert Plant, then echoes of Bowie. What's not to love? Plus, only a rockstar could carry off that multicoloured cap the way he does. Props.
So lovely to see our home area on your channel. We walk our dog by the canal and enjoy the loveliness of the surrounding Ayelstone Meadows and have been known to pop into the Lock keepers Cottage for a cuppa. We are really fond of our city and feel so lucky to be so close to all the city offers and be able to walk through beautiful country side. Doesn't always get a good press and the good bits get overlooked.
I love escaping to the country along the canals with you, but several stops you've made to villages and towns have piqued my interest in those as well. The pubs, museums, shops, pubs, parks, castles, pubs, restaurants, and of course the pubs. Thanks for all of this! Looking forward to seeing Leicester. You do know of course there are at last count roughly 22.5 thousand peeps living vicariously thru your pleasant daily grind? And tho' early mornings and long lock days can be a drag, having a snug tiny home bobbing on the water to snuggle into every evening must be a welcome escape. And of course Allan makes a boat a home. ATB.
Hello My Friends in England!! I do love watching your videos and have for a very long time and absoulutely love them, However I do hate that trash in your beautiful canals is very much the same s our trash on the roadways in Americ!!! It's so terrible that people can't just put their rubbish in containers that are available to them!! Sorry, My wife says that I'm talking like the British people all the time!! LOL That's ok too, because I've been accused of having a Southern Accent many times due to I'm from South Alabama, USA! I have always wanted to visit your Country and I'm sure yaw are very blessed just like us!! Thank You so much for all the videos that You And Benny or Vice/Verse put out!! Love them!!!
Hi Ben Emily and Alan , Hope you are all well, Really nice looking cruise you Had , such nice looking places, Alan looked Happy on her lead , so Thank you for sharing , Take care All🌅
THAT WAS AN AWESOME WELL EARNED JOUST!!.....⚓⚓⛵⛵ NICE TO SEE YA ALL ON A PROPER WIDE WATERWAY RIVER. AND YES ITS 10 AM IN IDAHO, AND I ALREADY TURNED ON THE AC❄❄❄, OH YES!! ITS BEEN ABOUT 95F AND COOLS TO ABOUT 55F AT NITE BECAUSE WE ARE AT 4300 FEET ELEVATION. ENJOY THAT NEW WATERWAY, AND HOPE THEY FIND THAT ISSUE IN THE ENGINE. ALWAYS DIGGIN BENNYS TUNES... GOD BLESS YA ALL. 😁
Howdy Ben & Em!! Ya gotta love Benny's print shirts! You rock Benj!!!!! Be glad that you're not older & have to do all those locks. I'm sure at 63, it would probably kick my butt!!!
Your editing and cinematography just keeps getting better and better. You guys are such naturals for this kind of thing. Emily's hair is getting longer and she's starting to look more piratey or boaty, in a cute adventurer sort of way, with Benny the troubadour and Alan the ship's mascot. We just need Emily in a white, long sleeve piratey blouse, black jeans, and knee high boots and you guys could easily be the pearls of the U.K. waterways. Love your videos, as always!
Great episode. Good music, especially the instrumental at the beginning, fantastic nature footage and great chat. Plus Alan who is always laid back and SO cute.
We cruised this section 32 years ago. Stopped in Leicester for Indian take-away and took the advice not to moor there. My log shows "great scenery". Enjoyed the vid.
❤ your vlog! It's been 118 degrees here in the Sonoran desert. We hunker down in the shade out of the sun's rays. The waterways look so cool and shady. Lovely. You are truly blessed. I saw some water yesterday, it was a mirage on the road while heading to Wal-Mart. Not much traffic on the road as everyone disappears to rest in the shade. Like you 6.00 in the morning is major chore time. ❤ you guys! See your next adventure next week. 😊
Hello Emily, Benn, and Allen. This part of Leicester is beautiful and it actually reminds me of my teenage years when living in a small village it also had a lovely little river in Bricket Wood Herts. That was over 60 years ago great memories. I really like your music quite unusual 😊. One thing that really pisses me off is the yobs who are not contented until they cause damage to other people’s property. I really do think that short sharp painful shock treatment to these yobs would make a difference to there attitudes, instead of a slap on the wrist and make the punishment fit the crime. You three make my day as you are such a loving couple with Allen😂. Your demeanours make for a wonderful day on the English rivers. Thank you Jon West Australia 😘
To benny Emily and Allan the cat we watch you every week we are looking forward to our narrow boat holiday next year we think the bennys music is great
I'm a new subscriber to Yee channel, wow u 2, r amazing, luv ya vlogs keep up the work u 2 and never forgetting Alan. Awesome vlogs, luv it, can't wait for next vide I'm so excited. Much luv dxxxxxxx
Emily your video technique is really becoming fantastic I like the close outs and commentary. What a fun video, please travel, play music, and hug little Allan.
Fantastic, I really enjoyed watching and will definitely follow. We were on Kingfisher, the volunteer "Green Lifeboat" that you saw cleaning up litter.
hey Ben ! keeping cool is what its all about! here in Texas we do the same and find respite in every sliver of shade. wishing you both safe boating nd maybe cooler days.
Hi there, i know your vlogs are behind so Elderflower season is over, but next year you should give eldeflower fritters a try. Shake off the flowers to make sure there are no bugs, break into smaller florettes. Make a simple batter but fairly thick with flour, pinch of salt and beer or sparkling water. Put sone oil in a pan a couple of inches deep, dip florettes in batter, fry until golden, drain on kitchen roll and serve with some lemon and a little caster sugar. They are gorgeous. Love your vlogs, you are one of my top two channels. Stay safe x
I live in extreme southern Louisiana, USA and I start to get amused when I hear your concern about 28-degree heat but then I remember that when I get overheated, I can retreat into my 70-degree air-conditioning and you have no such recourse! Good on you.
😂ha! 28°Celsius....I will gladly trade with you!! It was 114°Fahrenheit(45.5°Celsius) yesterday at my ranch in the Mojave Desert. Cooled down to a lovely 90°overnight. Ha!
Good morning Ben, Emily and Alan. Thank you for your videos. Have been watching Adam and Lauren for an while and found yours about a week ago. You and Adam & Lauren know how to keep it all interesting and relatable and fun so don't bother watching other narrowboat vlogs as I find they put me to sleep...lol
Your observations are spot on Benny, we were full of trepidation when going through Leicester in 2022 finding the mooring at friars was such a relief. Love your music, keep making memories guys.
Great video Guy's really enjoyed that. Spent most of my youth on the sections you have just covered. Subscribed and looking forward to more of you're adventures.
Another great vlog guys. Love that you like Leicester( on the water at least), I'll have to wait until next week to see what you think of the city.... You moored in Glen Parva. We have friends that's house back onto the canal there. Cool to see it on the big screen😊👍🏻
During your usual intro, instead of saying “...and this is Alan...”, have you ever shown a clip of Alan meowing with on screen, or hand drawn subtitles that read “and I’m Alan”.? That might be fun to try if you haven’t already 🙂. I took some pictures of my cat. I made some comic book style speech bubbles out of cardboard painted white and with a thick black boarder all the way around. I’d hold the camera with one hand and the speech bubble with the other 🤣 Anyway, I’m waffling on again. Thank you for sharing your videos. I appreciate you very much indeed. 🙂🐿🌈❤️
Hi Ben and Emily. That period of warm weather seems a distant memory now. I bet it was nice to travel when it was quieter. Glad you found a decent mooring in Leicester. Take care. Nick
Lovely vlog. Starting early in the morning definitely has its benefits - though it’s not really hot enough now to need to do that! Hope Leicester was a wonderful adventure for you.
Good to see you having a good time in my neck of the woods. Disappointed to have missed you at my regular local Watering Hole at ‘KING’s LOCK TEA GARDEN ‘ Aylestone , just before the river Soar joins the Canal. No chance of problems with the River in Summer . In winter time the whole area can be flooded over the Towpath ! Nice of you to give the Aylestone Meadows Area some nice comments. Leicester has ( in the Past ) had a very BAD reputation with Boater’s, but with the new secure Moorings in the City Centre lets hope that is a thing of the past . Looking forward to seeing what you think of the City and its many Food offering . 😊
Leicester is my home town (wigston) there was lots of hoseiry factories along the canals. My grandad worked making socks in the main one. But they all closed down now. Was lovely seeing Leicester and fox ton as I’ve been in Australia for 10 years. Leicester market was one of the biggest guest fresh produce market in its time. X
I must say it was a really lovely video.the views you as you are cruising along are beautiful.love seeing the wildlife.And it's lovely that you both explain about everything where you are going and about the canal and the different places.hugs for Alan. Have a lovely week all three of you.😽☺️☺️
What an incredibly beautiful area. Wow, and what a super video. You are so talented. Love your channel. Thank you so much. Yes the status are a religious relic that some people put in the water. I saw it on a Mudlarking channel. I am so glad the river is being cleaned and respected.
Brilliant that you cruised through 12 locks in the early morning when it's cooler. That one lock looked pretty hard to open! The pontoon mooring in Leicester looks like a prime spot for you moor your boat. Look forward to seeing your next episode as you explore Leicester. Jenny
In the year of the Queens Silver Jubilee 1977. I was stationed / living at RAF (USAFE) UPPER Heyford , Oxon. The day I arrived from my home in southern CA, It was 30 degrees Celsius! I thought it was very nice my English friends weren't happy at all. :-)
Uterly fantastic vlog team.What brilliant Shots through the whole blog.High lites ,swans flying into attack!! Startig up well early and you both look great. Pity you had no footage on the clearence canal boat,should you meet up again Vlog it Chaps. Cheers.
That was right up my street (literally) l grew up there in the 1950s.They’ve cleaned the place up a lot .You we’re right to moor up at Friars Mill as you probably found out .l think you will enjoy the City.
I am loving these vids. I look forward to them every week. When I watch them I feel like I am escaping Los Angeles for a precious 30 mins and floating away. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Oliver.

Welcome to Leicester from the Canal & River Trust Volunteers, please stay on the Friar's Mill Visitor moorings until you see the notification that Birstall Lock 45 has reopened. I was aboard the Green Life-Boat 'Kingfisher' you saw retrieving litter above St. Mary's Mill Lock 40, it is owned by the Leicester City Council and manned by the Leicester Environmental Volunteers
Great to see you out doing that : ) We got through all good, it was a few weeks ago now
the religious statues bit stems from the Indian funeral customs --- my friend Frank runs Barrow Boating and he does a lot of on the water funeral trade with our Indian population. There is also an area with a landing built where they carry out funerals.. I like your videos and your tunes.
Interesting!
Very interesting that fact about funerals. Thanks
Thanks for the interesting info!
Mesmerising, beautiful, and slightly soporific. Absolutely love your videos, and as already mentioned, your music is brilliant Benny. Hopefully, I can get to see you play one day. Do you ever advertise (wrong word) where you have gigs? You are the most chilled an watchable couple on TH-cam. Many thanks for all that you share with us.
Perfect soundtrack Bennie, you guys ROCK!
😊❤️
Just wanted to say a big thankyou for your regular videos. I really look forward to each one. Keep doing what you do. They are interesting and well produced.
Glad you like them!😊
Quality soundtrack by Ben as always, started out with shades of Robert Plant, then echoes of Bowie. What's not to love? Plus, only a rockstar could carry off that multicoloured cap the way he does. Props.
Hey thanks for the kind words! ❤
It's sooooo peaceful watching you 2❤❤❤❤
Ben and Emily you bring youth back into my home. I love your vlogs.
Thank you for watching and so happy you are enjoying it 😊
So lovely to see our home area on your channel. We walk our dog by the canal and enjoy the loveliness of the surrounding Ayelstone Meadows and have been known to pop into the Lock keepers Cottage for a cuppa. We are really fond of our city and feel so lucky to be so close to all the city offers and be able to walk through beautiful country side. Doesn't always get a good press and the good bits get overlooked.
Brilliant music Benny ❤ good work Emily ❤
I love escaping to the country along the canals with you, but several stops you've made to villages and towns have piqued my interest in those as well. The pubs, museums, shops, pubs, parks, castles, pubs, restaurants, and of course the pubs. Thanks for all of this! Looking forward to seeing Leicester.
You do know of course there are at last count roughly 22.5 thousand peeps living vicariously thru your pleasant daily grind? And tho' early mornings and long lock days can be a drag, having a snug tiny home bobbing on the water to snuggle into every evening must be a welcome escape. And of course Allan makes a boat a home.
ATB.
Your cinematography is so beautiful, very subtle.
Benny, dude, the only way musicians should see 6.00am is by being up all night. 😃
😂
Hi there. Another lovely watch. Thank you. X

The bit you thought was very beautiful was Aylestone Meadows. That's the bit of canal I live near.
Hello Emily, Benn, and Allen. This part of Leicester is beautiful and it actually reminds me of my
teenage years when living in a small village it also had a lovely little river in Bricket Wood Herts.

You both are such a delight. Always looking forward to your travels. Great music. Fantastic guys.
Thanks so much!
thanks guys look forward to these every week, please keep them coming
I want Benny’s wardrobe!
Enjoyed your video this week again. Glad you are feeling positive once you overcame some worries.
Great vlog, I loved the ending :)
I live in extreme southern Louisiana, USA and I start to get amused when I hear your concern about 28-degree heat but then I remember that when I get overheated, I can retreat into my 70-degree air-conditioning and you have no such recourse! Good on you.
Really wish we had seen you in Leicester
😂ha! 28°Celsius....I will gladly trade with you!! It was 114°Fahrenheit(45.5°Celsius) yesterday at my ranch in the Mojave Desert. Cooled down to a lovely 90°overnight. Ha!
😮
Good morning Ben, Emily and Alan. Thank you for your videos. Have been watching Adam and Lauren for an while and found yours about a week ago. You and Adam & Lauren know how to keep it all interesting and relatable and fun so don't bother watching other narrowboat vlogs as I find they put me to sleep...lol
So glad you enjoy our vids! And yes we love hanging out with Adam and Lauren!
Lovely to see you three again. Wish the warm weather was back with us 😂. Have fun and stay safe. Love from the Martineers ❤
Thank you for sharing your adventure! Thank you for taking us along. Cheers!
Your observations are spot on Benny, we were full of trepidation when going through Leicester in 2022 finding the mooring at friars was such a relief.

Make my day, again!! I wait every week!
😊
Another great vlog guys. Love that you like Leicester( on the water at least), I'll have to wait until next week to see what you think of the city....
You moored in Glen Parva. We have friends that's house back onto the canal there. Cool to see it on the big screen😊👍🏻
I think you got really lucky with your mooring enjoy your stay in Leicester,another great video .
Love how chilled your videos are
Loved the video. 😊
During your usual intro, instead of saying “...and this is Alan...”, have you ever shown a clip of Alan meowing with on screen, or hand drawn subtitles that read “and I’m Alan”.?
That might be fun to try if you haven’t already 🙂.
I took some pictures of my cat. I made some comic book style speech bubbles out of cardboard painted white and with a thick black boarder all the way around.
I’d hold the camera with one hand and the speech bubble with the other 🤣
Anyway, I’m waffling on again. Thank you for sharing your videos. I appreciate you very much indeed.

nice one guys hope your all good the song around 7.30 had a led zeppelin vibe about it cheers enjoy your summer
Love the music! I also enjoy all your meals! I've been trying to eat more vegan, so watching your meal preps has been nice too. 😊
Leicester is my home town (wigston) there was lots of hoseiry factories along the canals. My grandad worked making socks in the main one. But they all closed down now. Was lovely seeing Leicester and fox ton as I’ve been in Australia for 10 years. Leicester market was one of the biggest guest fresh produce market in its time. X
I must say it was a really lovely video.the views you as you are cruising along are beautiful.love seeing the wildlife.And it's lovely that you both explain about everything where you are going and about the canal and the different places.hugs for Alan. Have a lovely week all three of you.😽☺️☺️
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK IN THE ABOVE COMMENT !!
That was a lovely bit of canal you went along
Another great vlog, thanks for taking us along. What a lucky mooring spot you found.
What an incredibly beautiful area. Wow, and what a super video. You are so talented. Love your channel. Thank you so much.
Yes the status are a religious relic that some people put in the water. I saw it on a Mudlarking channel. I am so glad the river is being cleaned and respected.
Always enjoyable - Thank you.
Brilliant that you cruised through 12 locks in the early morning when it's cooler. That one lock looked pretty hard to open! The pontoon mooring in Leicester looks like a prime spot for you moor your boat. Look forward to seeing your next episode as you explore Leicester. Jenny
In the year of the Queens Silver Jubilee 1977. I was stationed / living at RAF (USAFE) UPPER Heyford , Oxon. The day I arrived from my home in southern CA, It was 30 degrees Celsius! I thought it was very nice my English friends weren't happy at all. :-)
Out of all the videos I’ve watched I have never heard Alan make a sound, not even a tiny squeaky meow!!! 🙂
She is a quiet one! Most of the time...😂
Uterly fantastic vlog team.What brilliant Shots through the whole blog.High lites ,swans flying into attack!! Startig up well early and you both look great. Pity you had no footage on the clearence canal boat,should you meet up again Vlog it Chaps. Cheers.
Rivers terrified me too! 😄 Another great adventure, thank you for sharing xx
That was right up my street (literally) l grew up there in the 1950s.They’ve cleaned the place up a lot .You we’re right to moor up at Friars Mill as you probably found out .l think you will enjoy the City.
I am loving these vids. I look forward to them every week. When I watch them I feel like I am escaping Los Angeles for a precious 30 mins and floating away. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Oliver.
So glad you like them! ❤
