This footage will be watched long after we're all gone. It's a great record of our times and you were right to concentrate on this kind of content. Think you might eventually break your view count record with this one.
I love that the Trust is keeping these old boats working and that people come out to volunteer as crew. Not only do they help keep the old knowledge alive, the act of running these boats pays homage to those that came before, honouring those who made a life on the canals feeding the factories that made England the greatest industrial nation of the age.
Enjoyed this one being it gave some of the history of the canals as well as the working boats that were so critical in the past years. Being I am from the colonies I was never exposed to the canals or the boats that used them.
The "kerthump-kerthump of a low-revving lump" is quintessential CTC. Along with the all-world content and quality of this channel, there is the very important aspect of documenting a unique way of life, and done with such aplomb as to astound even the most discerning viewer. David, you do a great service to the narrowboating community as well as your viewers. Well done sir, and much appreciated. You are inimitable. Cheers!
Brilliant David … sat next to those boats many an afternoon waiting for Rick Cooper ( when he remembered ) to transfer coal from his van into my transit van last winter. Has you know Rick was back chugging again after suffering a shoulder injury, the last time I personally saw him was at Mancetter and it was to be my last supply from him. So sad, but like the people in this video, people like Rick are essential to those of us living on the canals. Things I love about Canal life, these boats, our great heritage and burning dry wood and coal, on cold nights and in winter!
I've been stuck in America for 45 years but just the sound of the Lister marine engine got me back to ten years of boating and doing restoration at Claverton, taking a 60 ft boat across Kildwick Moor in a thunderstorm, interrupting a fishing competition in Leeds, etc. This was a treat, and I'm lucky I found it. Thank you. Juliet Miller (former secretary of the Narrow Boat Trust around 1975)
Didn't actually preserve them,Many went to rack and ruin and many are that way today,Enthusiasts cleared them out and got them running similar to the steam Enthusiasts who saved some Locomotives
I'm Irish, so I'm totally all for a coal fire. You can't beat a good old open fire with coal or peat, especially on a cold wintry night. No lights, just the glow and flickering of the fire. It's a pity people are so sensitive nowadays that you had to say that. Anyway, loved the video..I'm still watching it! I think it's cool you can take part. I wonder would they accept an Irish lass. Thanks again for the video...I'll keep quiet and keep watching the rest 😊
I lived long ago on the NW coast of Scotland & fondly remember the smell of burning peat...not so much fun the digging, stacking to dry & carrying down from the hill!
It has nothing to do with sensitivity. It's the fact that population has skyrocketed so more people are heating their houses, and particulates pollution in densely populated areas is a recipe for all kinds of different problems. COPD, various cancers etc etc. If you live rural, it's no problem, the total amount of pollution will still be fairly low. But imagine nearly everyone burning coal and wood in a standard residential area - it gets really bad really quickly. Combine it with weird weather effects that we're seeing more and more often, and you risk another round of the Great Smog of 1952 that killed more than 10.000 people. Poland still has about half their houses fueled by coal furnaces, and it's one of the reasons why their air quality is among the worst in Europe. It's cold, hard science.
Of course afterburners on the chimneys (like a catalytic converter on a car) only need to be made compulsory to lower particulate emissions... or the new technology of extremely clean burning wood burners..... It's the money....always follow the money. @@mfbfreak
...I heat my home way out in Utah in the U.S. with a 1940's stove ...its good fun and forever learning how to burn it better cleaner and more efficiently !! >^- •^~~~/
I was struck today by the pacing of your videos. They are perfect to allow us to concentrate on your commentary whilst soaking up the quality visuals. Thank you so much for this body of work.
Hello David. That was a memory from the 70’s. my friend and I had just started up a Scout Group in South |||Wales. We didn’t yet have tents or camping gear. We decided to hire two boats on the Brecon Monmouth canal. A couple of months before we went it was cancelled, the bank of the canal had given way. We found an ad in the Scouting magazine for canal hire on the Grand Union canal. We drove up to Braunston with two other leaders and their wives along with my brother and his mate. We had two boats, Ant & Axe, two 70ft boats with a cabin in the leading boat with a boatman and his lady and 12 scouts, the leaders and party had the butty boat, the one leader who brought his wife and kids had the boatman’s cabin. The boat was not vey comfortable. It had 12 beds in bunk formation, a chemical elsan, a sink and a 4 burner cooking range, table and chairs. The roof of our barges were blue glass binre pieces, every other one was placed on the next so the boatman or his lady, Sandy, could run from one end to the other at the lock when the barges would tie up abreast. I asked my mate why the kids take to their bunks when we tied up abreast. My friend told me the kids realised that Sandy was Commando, she didn’t wear underwear. Overall it was a great trip. I had taken two canoes and we used them very often.
Hi. I've been a longtime fan. Finally connected. This episode was wonderful. My husband and I have a 1949 built sailboat, 40 foot sloop with a Tiny Tot coal stove for heat. We buy pea coal at our local steam train. We live in the US near the Essex Steam train station, so it's a great place to buy real coal. Funny, we live near Essex, which all of our town names came from you guys! We have the original Volvo Penta engine, and a battery, with oil lamps in the saloon, alcohol stove. Not fancy but wonderful. Thanks for such great videos on the water. I love it. Would love to rent a narrowboat-- on my bucket list!
Wonderful report. I sometimes think these videos are better than when you were living aboard. So much interest and information and history of the canals. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you David.. Yet another glimpse into the past, on how coal and commodities were delivered. All though not in plastic bags back then. Great to see the Trust volunteers keeping the tradition going, and yes it's always great to see the old working boats still floating about on the cut. Great work all.. 😊
Another absolutely cracking video! What a particularly lovely bunch of volunteers, especially good time to be reminded of the essential kindness and decency of many people when the 'bigger' picture might not look quite so rosy.
We saw them on their return journey just above marston doles on the Oxford. Was such a sight😍 being only 21 my dream would be to own an old working boat one day
Before I watch I just have to let you know, your original video on the coal boats was the first I'd ever seen your channel and I've been watching ever since! The thumbnail reminded me of it immediately. So happy DownieLive went to the UK to go narrow boating so you'd pop up with the YT algorithm
Thanks for sharing that fascinating trip with us here on the other side of the world. Many of our ancestors worked on the canals or relied on this transport system as part of their everyday life before immigrating to New Zealand. My great grandfather, who was a stone mason, used to tell us as children how he helped unload the barges and what back braking work it was. They certainly earned their living in those days.
Ooo this looks amazing! Definitely something we would love to do one day 😍 great to know they welcome volunteers! absolutely love the history of the working boats.
This is great to see that there is people teaching volunteers and others how to handle the old vintage boats. In this way, the skills of yesteryear or yester-century will never be lost. It’s also great that in this manner, you’re raising awareness of the boats, and what they do, and make people aware that there is a way of learning the skills if they are so interested and inclined. Fascinating video, looking forward to your future content Ben from Australia 🇦🇺
"The basic idea of the trust is to keep working boats working". This is music to my ears as a working boat no longer gainfully employed is a shadow of its former self. That's why I love the fuel barges so much.
What a glorious vlog David, showing us how these beautiful work horses of boats are still being used in the style for which they were built. Like many, we sailed past these two earlier this year at Alvecote and admired them close up so it was a treat to see them featured here in work mode. Thankyou as always for wonderful vlogs. X
whilst hard work, it is certainly nice to do it at a slower pace than modern day. Wonderful to maintain the history and traditions of old. Thanks for the great content. Cheers.
When visiting my grandma in Skipton in the 1960's, she would make tea & crumpets and I was in charge of the crumpets. I had a two foot long brass fork to hold the crumpets to the glowing coals in the open hearth and there's no better tasting crumpets (or toast for that matter, done the same way).
Been watching your videos for awhile now. I hope people appreciate the mass of volunteers it takes to keep the canals running. My hat is off to all of them ! :) Please keep up the good work David.
Another great vlog, strangely familiar & nostalgic without experiencing such. I think it's the connection with simpler times. I remember your "Coalfinger" vlog from a few years... one of my favourites
As a child I remember bulk loaded narrow boats on the Leeds-Liverpool canal with coal, or grain or heavy non-perishable goods. Many of them were still horse drawn until after WW2 to save fuel. The contrast between the cargo and the bright floral paintwork on everything down to the kettles and pans was a source of wonder to us as children.
Very interesting - as others have said, not just a CtC vlog, but a vital record of how canals were originally used and why they were built. And nothing quite like doing something to properly understand it. Oddly, for someone like me - an armchair canal enthusiast for some years - the thing that most struck me was the distance that can still be travelled by canal. Several tonnes of coal was transported right across/down the country, using a transport network most people don't even realise is there! The enthusiasts, the volunteers, the canal community in general, and especially the CRT, have done an amazing job in restoring and maintaining the canal system, so that, decades after it effectively went out of use, it's still functions as a nationwide transport network. It's almost impossible to imagine the same thing happening in any similar circumstances - a nationwide heritage railway, for instance! And yet, for the vast majority of people, it's just that old canal at the bottom of the street, or maybe the memories of a holiday once spent on a hired narrowboat. A whole intricate and hugely extensive other world - in plain sight, but almost unnoticed...
Another excellent, and informative video David. I use the same 'coal' in my greenhouse fire. Toast and toasted sandwiches are extra special done on an open fire. If they fall in and get a bit charred, so much the better 😄😄😄.
A Really Good video 'Young Dave' .... Let's hope this one BOOSTS their Volunteer count - With All Viewers 'sharing' it on their various Social Media accounts 👍🤠
This is such an enjoyable video. Your production quality is equal to any Discovery Channel venture. I'm new to the channel and find it so relaxing after chores. Thank you. Kirk
Couldn't do it myself but it's good they are keeping these old boats going!! 🤷🤘

"Tea is always useful." Best quote I've heard in ages.😂
Cracking video - thank you David
THIS is your BEST historical explanation of classic canal boat usage.

Well done, David. I love that people are keeping the old traditions alive. Gloria 🐂
Thanks David. Wonderful that there are people who give their time and energy to the preservation of our national heritage.
"Tea is always useful" - I think that will be my quote for the rest of the month
Outstanding work by the trust! As an American I'm fascinated by the canals and the fact that ya'll have preserved them.
So much of the Superiority of the west is from canals. Not just the Far canal.
We have few canals, and even fewer still functional.
Didn't actually preserve them,Many went to rack and ruin and many are that way today,Enthusiasts cleared them out and got them running similar to the steam Enthusiasts who saved some Locomotives
Always nice to listen to David's soothing presentations. Thank you for another history lesson ❤
Glad you like them!
Definitely interested
We have to keep the old ways going. Thanks David👍🇦🇺🙏
David is like a modern day Jack Hargreaves, without the pipe! Nicely done David.
How true 👍 even the theme tune has a close resemblance

If you check out contemporary accounts, coal heating have absolutely ruined the health of the locals of densely populated urban areas.

I very much appreciate that as I do specifically try to "let the videos breathe" as we used to say when I worked in telly.
Another gem of a video , David. THank you so much for producing these, very enjoyable!
My pleasure!
David another brilliant video enjoyed very much thank you.
that's some history we can see today, cheers Skipper
Great history, I do admire the volunteers who work all over the canals
I do too

@@CruisingTheCutSuch videos remind me of watching “Out of Town” in my youth. Thank you David for continuing the tradition.

Keeping history alive. Hard work but all those involved are so happy. What a great video. Well done David. Thank you.
Wonderful tribute to these historical boats. Thank you, David! 😎🥰😎🥰😎💕💕💕
I love that they are keeping bits of unique history alive like this!
Ahh, the glorious sound of the Lister. Very interesting video. Glad to see such traditions being kept alive. 👏👏 Thank you for sharing. 👍😀
We saw them on their return journey just above marston doles on the Oxford. Was such a sight😍 being only 21 my dream would be to own an old working boat one day
Our youngest member started at 17 and now has his own pair of boats at the grand old age of 25! He delivers coal and gas on the Grand Union.
Thank you very much David. This reminds of the brilliant piece of reporting that is Coalfinger.
As always a joy to hear your voice.
Much appreciated, cheers
Fantastic to see this tradition still in operation - long may it continue.
After 30 or so years I have finally found out what my Uncle Barry gets up to on the infamous "Coal Run" - what a great film - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Your videos are so informative. You share things that most of us will never see or experience. Thank you for sharing your stories and videos.👍
Thanks for watching!
@@CruisingTheCut thank you!!!
Ah the life a narrowboat! Thank you for sharing this peaceful and interesting video!
Engine next to the loo at least means it is warm when you have to drop the trousers 🙂

Nice one David! You'd think that, after seven years living on a narrowboat, I'd get bored with more - but this was fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful episode, David!
A nice video to watch after a hard day of work.
Superb vid David! Thanks

Great Blog As Always ❤️ Lovely To See The Old Way Still In Use Perfect 👏👏
Another excellent, and informative video David. I use the same 'coal' in my greenhouse fire. Toast and toasted sandwiches are extra special done on an open fire. If they fall in and get a bit charred, so much the better 😄😄😄.
Sounds great! 🤣
Very romantic, thank you David.
Love that vlog, what a delight to watch and learn about our heritage on the canal and those continuing to upkeep it!🤗
Awesome video! Like many others have stated that its great learning the old ways and to preserve them!! 😊
Thanks for the shot of the duck!
🤣
Interesting and quality as always
Very good video as always excellent interview
Much appreciated
Sir, another fine telling of a great little adventure. Very much enjoy your continued coverage of the cut. 😃 ♫
Many thanks!
Thanks again David! I'm very glad you keep making these.
Here's me hoping this one gets the same amount of views as Coalfinger!
Haha that's probably a big ask!
Nice David
Just love this David, again thank you so much for your very educational vlog.
Fascinating look at these working boats, many thanks, to you and to the stalwart volunteers who keep the boats and their way of life going.
