    It does amuse and equally annoy me that people give a thumbs down. What did they expect? The title tells them what it's about, as does the description and thumbnail. It's well shot, edited, good sound quality and narrative. I am mystified.

      John, there is an explanation. When TH-cam selects a video and presents it on your screen as "Recommended for you", then you click on it and discover that it is not the type which is of interest to you - then if you select the dislike [thumbs down], and YT algorithms will no longer 'recommend' that genre of video again. Thus, they are not all negative about the channel or poster.

    I never thought I would end up watching so many narrow boat videos, and the culprit that got me involved was you! The way you describe throughout what we're seeing with such interest, it keeps us coming back for more! I've tried watching a lot of those other boaters, most are extremely boring, and even though they are on the same section as you! Anyway, thanks for making it fun to watch, and some day I'll make that trip to the good old UK and try to hitch a ride!

    " England's green and pleasant land " indeed. That was wonderful. One to be watched over again for its verdant beauty. I wonder what the original working narrow boaters would think of the boats now being used and lived in as a home by choice for the love of it. I think they would approve. Thank you so much. This might be my favourite so far.

    David while most canals are just wide enough to all the vessels to pass, I remain amazed just how narrow the English canals are is reality. Plus how absolutely beautiful it is. There are times during your private tour I feel like you have taken us through a Time Warp Portal while are on your boat, and we are looking at the world of today through a window but we are somewhere back in time, it is just so peaceful.

    Your journey took me back 70 years. I often walked from Strines to Adlington along the canal (or through Lyme Park). Our scout troop had a narrow boat moored at Adlington, but we had other boats which I took along the canal back to Strines or High Lane. Of course, it was then very much quieter, just a few boats and they were mostly working boats. I must now find your journey on the Peak Forest canal. Thanks for the memories.

    David: Please feel free to "blather on" ad infinitum. Having never been able to visit England, much less on a canal touring narrowboat, your commentary makes the videos immensely more enjoyable than the competition. You point out things I might have missed, plus the background information and explanations all make me feel more like I am right there with you.
    Remember when you explained that the problem with a "trad" stern was that it made it difficult to have a conversation if you did have a guest? Well your blathering fills that gap nicely for this viewer trapped in Thailand! Thanks and carry on.

    Hi there, I discovered your videos by the 'Recommended for you' list, and enjoyed the tour of the boat and this episode.. It's funny how much
    I can relate to your choice. I too was a journalist (photographer) for over 25 years, based in London and then Paris from the mid 80's. I
    chose to leave journalism and move to rural France and set up a fishing lake business. I have in the past owned a camper and travelled widely in
    it... and it is a retirement project to do so again with my wife.
    I'm glad you are still going on your travels... You know the French waterways are vast, so if you run out of English waterways to sail
    on...... I shot some pictures last month of a retired Dutch couple who had left Rotterdam in September, on a tugboat and were sailing down the
    French canals and rivers to Sète, due to arrive in April next year.
    Anyway I look forward to following your travels. best Regards Gareth

    Just enjoyed the last 4 vlogs in a row, l'm sure l will continue my viewing, well into the night. I just wanted to say, Autumn in the UK is quintessentially British, the heavy morning dews, cool air, that climbs gently throughout the day, often beneath a clear blue sky, and just the hint of Mother Nature's impending spectacular finale in November, with all the hues and breathtaking colours, before our evenings draw in. I have been privileged to live in the Arctic Circle in Finland ( my thumbnail), and of course it to has its own beauty, but my heart will forever be in England.
    Thank you, for your wonderful content, it has always been of the highest quality.

The first we knew was seeing a dog that looked just like Monty heading up onto the bridge! His owner leapt off and I reversed into the narrow and hovered. Monty was recovered quickly and we were on our way. Dogs are lovely on a boat, but can give you a surprise occasionally.

And your expertise with film and your voice makes it ignite the fire of me wanting that life style. Plus it really relaxes me watching your vids whenever I am feeling down or lost in life. Wish you could show more of inside your boat living or updates or look to see how more people live in their boats, or show us more of the world around that community etc. Keep up the good work. And I hope to see you one day. I'm 29 now, but hopefully you'll stick around vlog or no vlog in the canals so I can shake your hand. P.s you legit have a great singing voice btw.

    Ah, Jacobs sheep. I enjoy spinning their wool.

The glue had failed exactly enough that the hideous early 1980s carpet readily detached while holding fast to the wood.

    I interrupted watching 199 twice. Once because I could swear I was looking at a John Constable and had to check and later when I "knew" you were showing us Giverny and that Monet would be crossing the bridge to welcome us in. It is that beautiful. Were armies of British youth under the direction of Luchino Visconti paid to place those yellowing leaves on the mirror surface of the waters? I could feel the breeze denuding the trees above and the light shooting through the gaps. Beautiful! Every second beautiful

    Thanks for posting sir . Full water tank empty potty. Love that line. Scenery supurb. Looking from Canada towards the west it appears so idyllic. Thanks for taking me along on the cruise. Between cruisingthecut and narrowboatexperience and the cats. I now know were to get the best cat clumping litter and the above mentioned water tank business. Win Win Win for us all. Thanks Britain.....your parents did a good job with each and every one of you. :-)

    7:35 my mother was stranded during transit at manchester airport last summer and it was a nightmare; we had absolutely no idea where she was in the world for a whole day and the entire episode has, I've just discovered through this video, given me a horror of manchester by association how exciting is that

    This was absolutely beautiful to watch. I would like you to bring us along when going shopping sometime. After all, shopping is part of canal life!? Many beautiful places to see in this video. Now, back to my wife, who also is beautiful.

      Cheers. I tend to focus on the canals and boats rather than shopping. All supermarkets look much the same!
