Ahhhh, thank you so much, Colin. I'm so close to 10k.
Have a great day. 🫵👍👍👍
oh no, he's got a big enough head already 🤣
Too funny
Bless you all. 🙏
Some grand shots Will and the car boot looked such fun come on people give Will a thumbs up tc the oldies🤗👍🤗👍
Ahhh thanks guys. I love that carboot. I was there yesterday. Buying stuff I don't need but it's cheap. 🤣🤣🤣
Well .. I can sum up this video in one word..( stunning ) this is what I have come to expect from you... they are always interesting and informative and a emense pleasure to watch..
They are a reminder to people like myself about the lives they onced lived on their own narrow boats...👍👍👍...
So it's a massive filthy thumbs up from me.
It's so sad when people, for all sorts of reasons, have to give it up. Only memories remain. But good ones..
Thanks again Wayne. 🫵👍👍👍
Love the videos and scenery Thanks will!!
Glad you like them! 👌👌🫵👍
Really enjoying your vlogs Will (new subscriber). One of the few vlogs that have me laughing out loud at your antics/thoughts on life/funny voices. Keep up the fantastic work Will. Much appreciated!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for subscribing. I'm glad you understand my sense of humour. 😌 🙄😒
Great video Will as also . You are the No1 ‘Go To ‘ Channel for real Narrow Boating 😊 Thanks for all your hard work making these videos .
This is what keeps me going. Thank you. 🫵👍👌
Love the sound of skylarks, reminds me of walks with my Dad when I was a little nipper hanging on every word he said! The sound of summer in birdsong.
It's my favourite bird call Tim. It means summer is here to me. Cheers 👍
Feel so sorry for you Will, the walking you do, for us, so we don't have to and then the hardship of those views! 😂
I'm nearly a cripple but I must fight on Robert. For you guys, of course. I have to force myself to look at the filthy scenery. On a daily basis, I might add. 🤣🤣🤣
morning , humid here today , just having coffee with you , the tree you mentioned they are nice , but we have one opposite us gradually loosing my out look and the evening sky , the man every year
asks someone for a price to trim it always says to expensive , it will not get any smaller , exasperating ,
pleased to join you again. views are important .
next stop sounds good, independent shops look good .
my mom used to give my two money to spend at the shop , teaching them the same.
our car boots charge £5 a car to go in .
🙃🙂
It is quite humid today. Carboots normally charge people to go in but this one is free and it's massive. I've just got back from the same one. I love it. Also the bargain hunt team were there. Interesting day out. Love it.
Well here in the states we call that a good old fashioned outdoor swap meet. A place where small time business people and part time vendors can ply their trade with either cash sales or barter. Thanks for including us in your adventures.👍
I love our American brothers and sisters. 👍👍
😊

Thank you H
It's a very slow process. I thought I'd retire off my youtube earnings by now. How wrong I was..🤣🤣😵💫
When l was a member of the organic movement back in the 1970’s l remember a book called The Western Way of Death which focused on diet and all the chemicals that go into it and exercise.I dare’nt go to a car boot as l’m already fully cluttered up😂
I know exactly what you mean. I've bought another golf bag. 🤣🤣
Some stuff I get, i just can't find it anywhere.
Love looking at the car boot with you . I don’t understand why folk don’t subscribe 🤷🏼♀️
Hopefully a gentle reminder every now and again will gain you a few more 😍
good vid on channel cranking it thanks lee
No problem 👍 lee.
Great vlog again Will 🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Mark. Cheers for the comment. 🫵👍👍
Evening Will. A varied video indeed! An observational one just like I'd do travelling along the canal looking at everything. They should fit the boat's side doirs in an art gallery and run the different scenic views behind it. I always feel.as if I'm gliding through history via boat imagining the people and boats of history moving along. My mate who has a TH-cam channel says that thumbs AND comments can boost the number of people TH-cam recommends your video to. The Algorithm, sounds like a film.😂😂😂😂. Thanks. Regards. Paul.
Hello Paul. Hope you're well and enjoying the weather?
That's such a good idea filming out the side window. It would be like going through time.
👍👍👍
Weather brilliant for the garden project!😊
that pale round shiny thing in the sky? 😶🌫🤔
Lovely honest vlog I really enjoyed it Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it Phil. 🫵👍👍
Morning Will, lovely morning again, Alvechurch marina busy as usual with folks picking up their rentals, chatting to one couple, they only travel a mile or so and moor up for the rest of the week, to each us own I guess but a very expensive holiday, must have a few bob I guess, nice folks mind, have a lovely day me old duck.
Morning. I'm off to a big carboot again. Love it Sunday mornings..some boaters just love being on a boat in nature I guess.
Tiller Man dancing with an imaginary naked lady... 😂
He said he's got a real one. 🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill 🤣
Another brilliant vlog Will. It keeps bringing back memories of my walks there & my time looking for a new house between Lancaster, Carnforth, Kendal & Penrith. Eventually Penrith won after lockdown but it could easily have been Carnforth near the canal.
Carnforth is a great little town, but anywhere along here seems lovely. It's been a really great canal. But there is a real gem that nobody seems to use. Stay tuned 😉
@@NarrowboatWill Will do NWill.
Beginning to think you’re getting obsessed with jacks ! Free entry to car boots are the best ! See you on the next vlog ! X
🤣🤣🤣 I am till i find one. I went this morning to a carboot, and they were everywhere. 🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill typical ! Lol 😂
Hi Will, the black jack looks the same as mine in the Nissan Patrol 4x4 so it also should lift your van, or you can always give yourself a lift if your feeling down! 😊
🤣🤣🤣 I've got four Jack's now. I'm worried the small ones might snap. Like my other one did. 🙄😒
Hi Will.
I watch and subscribe and dirty thumbs up each view.
When you're passing through brinklow I will pass uou many golf balls free of charge.
My dad and I used to play and collected 100's of golf balls.
I'm sure we can spare a few lol😅
Canal closures are never a good sign anywhere, if it were closer and I could park car and kayak trailer I'd be up paddling that 41 miles with no locks but 1 swinger bridge be careful with those swingers 😅
It would be a great trip on the kayak and camp side of canal maybe.
Thanks for sharing loved it.
Even the car boot was interesting.
Good luck 👍 hope weather stays sunny.
All the best 👍 kev the Brinklow kayaker ❤
Ahhh, cheers, Kev. I always need balls. I keep losing mine in bushes and long grass. 🤣🤣🤣
This would be a perfect canal for kayaking on. You could go on the sea as well. 🤣🤣
Enjoy the weather. Don't fall in. 🤣👍👍👍
you have had good time, we were at an antique fair at Stafford once , they were filming interesting to see behind the camera , 🙂
Funny enough. The bargain hunt stars were at the carboot this morning. 🤣
Hi Will in May 1978 we hired a GRP cruiser from a small boatyard in Catforth but I wonder as it was GRP we never had a problem with mooring near the bank so I suppose a shallow draft it was an
27 ft Elysian centre cockpit called Wonderlust
I was looking in your video to see if I could see it
It was £60 for the week but nothing has changed at all in 46 years it's a lovely canal 🙂
It's amazing how it's not changed.
My first boat was a 27-foot grp.
Easy to moor up, and it would be perfect on this canal. 👌
Love a car boot will you found some nice bits and bobs 😊
Carboots to me go hand in hand with summer. 😄
The quarry is at warton , my inlaws used to live there ,lovely place
I thought it was a quarry. Thanks for confirming that. 🫵👍👍
The film you mentioned at Carnforth, I belive could be the 1945 film, Brief Encounter, with Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson.
That's the one. I should've known by the name. Brief encounter café. 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Will, great video as always, great to see you're all jacked up. Could you at some point in the future do a short vid on the subject of tools. As a want to be narrowboater I don't really have a mechanical background and my tool kit is rather lacking. What in your opinion would be the best selection of tools, re socket sets mole grips, wire brush? What power tools would you recommend? Would be so informative and useful not just for me but I'm sure everyone else would value such info. Cheers mate. FTU.
That's a good point. I will do that at some point. There's not a lot of special tools involved to be fair. Leave it with me, Craig. 👏 ✌️
Hi Will, enjoying the updates on the Lanc. I used to live in Hest Bank as a kid, messed about on the canal quite allot. , and thats where my Dad made ‘the canoe’ you met in Banbury. Kinda travelled out at the moment, did the Bristol channel recently that was amazing, but feeling the need to settle for a while and so got myself a mooring in Hest Bank, nearer my family too. In Braunston at the mo but heading up, via the Man Ship canal and Mersey into Liverpool. Maybe on the Lancy by August, maybe you be off by then, but maybe see ya like passing ships :). Agree with you about the Lanky - other good things to do from there too, hills, coast etc
I'm heading down the same trip as you. Ha ha. Classic. I'll be off here by then. The Glasson basin I'd the gem of this place in my view.
This canal has been soooo good.
See you on the cut ripper.
@@NarrowboatWill yup Glasson is fab, especially the smokery. Someone told me if moored in the basin against the far wall you can get ya boat lifted up and onto the wall in gale it get so choppy, handy for blacking i guess. Carry on rippin :)
Hi Will 😘
Hello 👋
that pale round shiny thing in the sky? 🤔😶🌫🙄
What is it. I'm not used to seeing it. 🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill I think it has moved to Australia. We see it often in Adelaide 🌞
Hi will another great vlog👍
Just one thing please call the Llangollen by its proper name 😂
Its pronounced clangoflen
I can't even read that, never mind say it. I'm an English man trying to speak Welsh. 🤣🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill 😂😂 so am I
i always love a good car boot , but it tempts you to buy too much , you seem to spend 3/4 of your life gathering stuff , & a quarter of your life getting rid of it lol , i can sort of understand why they leave certain parts of the canal shallow , when you cycled past those houses it looked like you were looking down on them , which could be a privacy invation to them , as not everyone is as honest as you .
That's a really good point Lori. What about the houses above. Looking down their noses no doubt.
I wonder if works in levels of wealth. The better off getting the high houses? 🤣🤣
Where was that car boot ?
Regards Steve 😁
St Micheal's. Near Preston. Bilsborrow.
@@NarrowboatWill Thank you, Don't get disheartened by the amount of subs, I fully enjoy the varied content.....All the best, rippers 😁
I always find that if I specifically look for something at a car boot...I'll never find it
🤣🤣🤣 today I didn't need a jack but they were everywhere. I just rolled my eyes.
I bet they were much better than you've already got...lol....sods law
Naw it was a rock standing contest, who could stand the biggest rock on its end won.
That is an interesting hobby. People do it on beaches and cliff tops etc.
You didn't bump into the Gypsy King at Hest Bank then?🥊
I don't know who that would be. 🤔
How about a garden hoe to gently scrape off the weed growth on your hull?
I'd be worried about scrapping off my blacking paint. In the end, I taped a stiff brush to a broom handle. It's gone now.
Thanks for the comment. Keep um coming. 🫵👍👍
Shops today
Have a health food isle
Begs rhe question.
What rhe heak on rhe other isles
Exactly. Shouldn't it all be healthy? I'm not even sure the health food is healthy anymore. 🤣
