- The sun is out and the sky is blue, though temperature wise it's still a bit on the chilly side. Never mind as following the previous 2 weeks of ice and grey skies at Hinckley, I'll take the sunny stuff any day, whether warm or cold
Now I can now enjoy some bright pleasant cruising "On Days Like These", along the Ashby Canal - later stopping at a surprise mooring on a bend known locally as Duck Corner.

Each new weekly episode goes great with a side of lunch which lends itself to a moment of tranquility.
I hope you don’t feel rushed to get from point A to point B on our behalf. I personally enjoy the journey itself, including your exploration of towns, making tea, trying pies, etc…
It’s that journey that keeps me tuning in every time, and spending time with CHG wherever he may be.
Thank you for sharing the interior of St. Margaret's. It was fascinating!
You're welcome Kathleen, there was so much history in that place.
oh my goodness - bridge 20!! glad you didn't have to eat your shoes - tho secretly I think I was rather relishing the prospect. thank you Kevin
Thanks
Wow, thank you so very much Chris. Fabulous to see you're enjoying the videos. Cheers, 🙂
@@CountryHouseGent As you have given me many hours of release from the daily grind I though it only right to give you some pie tokens.
A cup of coffee, my pipe, and Country House Gent on the old tablet. What better way to spend a quiet Saturday afternoon? Looks like in the space of a mile, or so, you've been transported from boaters hell to boaters paradise, taking us along with you.
Indeed David, what a difference a day makes. Been a few years but I do occasionally miss enjoying a puff on my favourite old pipe, loaded up with some Gold Block.
I would say your journey this time was a real Triumph!
Oh dear. ☺️
Oh dear. ☺️
Excellent! I get the Notifications via PC, but watch via the TV which has no option to Like....so, here's a Like!
Thanks!
Fantastic Tom, you're very kind. Most appreciated, cheers.
@@CountryHouseGent I think if this type of video that people want to see that they should give something to continue there videos and channel. it all helps friends so please give to this channel its one of the best on narrowboats Tom Crosby YQR Regina Canada
Great camera work in this episode - so aesthetically pleasing!
It was Steve from 4 Go Narrowboating! We watched you go past on his live feed 😀
Lovely countryside and glad the ice had gone 👍xx
These shows go so fast! This is probably my favorite season. Less locks. -less work for you. Thank you for going into that town and taping the church. Wonderful to see that. It was amazing. This canal is very beautiful. Special.
Lovely cruise and look round the church. Enjoying season 9 very much. 😊
Kevin, I greatly enjoyed watching this episode especially the tour of The Church of St Margaret of Antioch...⛪🇬🇧
Many thanks Steve. Most appreciated. The church was quite an impressive place and don't think I've ever been in one so quiet 🙂
Thank you again for the weekend entertainment! Your videos are highlight for my family and I on Fridays.
Fabulous to hear you're tuning in every Friday to watch the series and thank you again for your contribution. 😊
Great episode and scenery. Thanks 🎉
We saw you go past Steve on that day on his live feed, wondered if you had recognised him! 🤭What a beautiful church and such a historic area. Great episode Kevin.
Hello Kevin, nice to see you creating content exploring the town. Cheers, Lloyd
My pleasure Lloyd and thank you so much for your kind contribution. Most appreciated, cheers
And you went past the boat we hired from ashby boat Co. Measham. Lovely boat. Even better video now Kevin! Cheers
Grand vlog Kevin such a lovely church you and Aslan no worse for the journey through the ice I no you said all was ok but good to see allis fine tc now theoldies 👍👋🤗
Watching your show is an beautiful and interesting tour of England. So different than Southern California, USA. Thanks!
Love the history
I bet it was lovely when the horses 🐴 pulled the boats when they had the old cottages and the stables
Happy belated Birthday!
Oh thank you so much Debra, you are very kind. That's very much appreciated. Cheers 🤗
Much enjoyed more of your gentle traveling and your liken to painting skills Kevin.
What a lovely old church! Three pubs and one shop? Mmmm Stoke Golding has different priorities, it seems 🙂
Love how Kevin goes all ‘Pam Ayers’ on certain sentences…😉…liking the Ashby… nice
Ah, enjoyed a bit if Pam as a kid - on BBC's Nationwide if I remember rightly. ☺️
Ha ha ha!!!! A set of heated rollers or I wished I'd looked after my teeth were and are still brilliantly funny. They still make me laugh today. Thanks for the video Kevin.
Hi Kevin, thanks for another great episode, one of the reasons why I enjoy following your journeys along the canals is because you do most everything on your own including most of the locks, truly one man and his boat. I have watched several TH-cam channels that claim to be solo boaters but have found they rarely are on their own they will frequently have family and friends on board helping them. I admire your courage and conviction to stay true to your chosen path despite the low patch in your life around the third series. Long may your adventures continue.
So happy you decided to stop in Stoke Golding Kevin. The Church of St. Margaret just wowed me! Back in the day they really took the time, money, and effort to build something extraordinary. So happy your country or the people of the area take an active interest in preserving such a bit of history. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best wishes as always, Deb
You're very welcome Deb. Quite right, a considerable amount of care and attention has been put into the church. They sure knew how to build em back then.
The Saint Margaret of Antioch Cathedral was a beautiful site……truly a most lovely, peaceful, historic & noble place.
Fascinating
Thank You Kevin
I wish you health, wealth & happiness!
My parents rode off into the sunset on a Triumph Motorcycle after being married!
❤❤❤
The tour of the battlefield is fascinating. You wander all round it listening to details of the battle, then at the end they tell you it wasn't there after all, but at the other side of the canal.
Loved the show. Thanks.
Another fabulous video. Top job!
Bridge 20, though-- the one that's pulling apart... That got to me almost as much as the Church did. Wow.
Very nice and interesting video 😊thank you
Churches dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch always seem beautiful.
Nice video…. Thanks for sharing!
I live not far from all these places I only been to market Bosworth a couple of times and it is nice place. The chippy is good there apparently. But what a gem of a church in Stoke Golding. Thanks Kevin enjoying you journey.
Thank you for the church tour.
Absolutely fascinating. Almost like an above ground version of “Time Team”
😁👍
lovely episode, Kevin -- very much enjoyed the tour of peaceful little Stoke Golding...as for my fellow commenters, Kevin never said he DIDN'T eat his shoes!!!
Great tour of St Margaret's, 😊
Thanks Kevin, enjoyed my ride along, Aslan sounds perfect, glad the ice is gone, I really didn’t want you to eat your boots! Haha 😂, oh has anyone ever tried to have duck that was accidentally killed by a narrow boat? Duck tastes pretty good 👍 Just asking? Cheers mate, Charlie from Pennsylvania.
Yes, that gentleman is one of the 4 go Narrowboating 4. He is half of Life Onboard Amy Jo. His other half is an equally young woman with long blonde hair. Fun cruise and funny commentary. Thanks!
This mans videos on narrowboats is the best on the youtube network if people really like the relaxing videos to continue they should give a thanks to this channel by donating money to it... I will continue to give thanks and appreciation to the things I love. Help support this channel its worth every penny. Thanks for your videos they are awesome Tom Crosby YQR Regina Canada
Enjoyed the scenery and the history in this episode CHG! Looked a lot more realaxed and peaceful than the last time. Already looking forward to even more history in the next episode. Cheers, until next week!
Greetings from Florida 🌴. Great episode. The cathedral was beautiful. We very much enjoy your walks through the villages and the nice countryside as well.
I watch from SWFL! ❤
The Ashby is really great canal Kevin. We hired a boat from Stoke Golding last year and another booked for this year. Lovely place. Another great video. Perfect Friday night viewing. Take care mate.
The boat yard at Stoke Golding is a proper slice of boat life gone by. Was quite taken aback by it. Fine weather and sailing to you.

Lovely vlog CHG I have done the Ashby twice in mid summer and both time dragging on the bottom after Bosworth
awesome episode, the Ashby certainly is beautiful. Gotta say too I love when you film in the canal side towns. I love the little English villages and towns, so different from the US. Thanks again for taking us along!
Ty Kevin, another lovely meander down the canal and a wander through that lovely village. The church was quite beautiful . Till next time take care stay safe 🌸
Thanks to a docudrama a few years ago, even this American friend knows the significance of Bosworth Field! I felt like we were traveling back through time in this episode. Thanks from an Anglophile!
Was so very determined to try the lifestyle through yours, Robbie’s and David’s video commentary but had to accept just not physically up to it. Boat on. Bosworth Field and Plantagenets? Never heard of them.
Excellent episode. I hate what churches represent but that one was interesting. I'd say this was one of your best vlogs mate. Well made.
Agreed. Not religious at all but I always appreciate the history and architecture.
Your deductive reasoning is astounding. To conclude that Bosworth Field, after which the battle is named, is a Field! Simply genius! 😁 Great video as always Kevin. One thing that you don't see here in the US are 700 year old buildings. Fantastic.
Thank you for another lovely cruise. Have a wonderful week!
And you Sonya, thank you.
Wow thanks for all the countryside and scenery. It is all so breathtaking. All we have left in Longton is a Minimart/gas station. You can not go inside, they meet you at the door and return with your item, if they have it.
Hi Kevin, could you think about doing an episode about how you access services when cruising such as doctors, dentist and all the other bits and bobs which must be difficult with no fixed address.
Probably walk-in centres and 111
I’ve got a fixed address but haven’t seen a dentist in two years (since before covid). Dentists are as rare as hen’s dentures.
Thanks Kevin, for taking us along through this lovely part of the country and the visit to the lovely and ancient St Margaret's church. I hope that you are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Just the title and I’m whisked away to Italian Mountains to the dulcet tones of Matt Monro.
Yes me to
Did your exact route last Autumn. The Triumph factory has a free museum well worth a look. The shop keeper at Stoke Golding was quite the most miserable bloke I’ve met in a while - hope he was having a bad day as to be like that all the time would make for a miserable life !
Recent posts. Awesome. Now following. I miss my boat so this is just the fix I need.
Bosworth field as according to my research…… is a Field 😂
I just love your humour. I am very like you but I only have the use of Hire boats a few times each year 😂
good vid on channel thanks lee
Love seeing all the different types of narrowboat. All the distinct designs, bow types and states of repair.
It seems that everyone is individual.
Hey Kevin,great camera work....no dought. Would have like to see you praying for not having a leaky bottom! Your great ......keep on.
Dude...an apple and two celery stalks? Deepest sympathies... 😉
😆 A part of any nutritious breakfast.
Great episode. I really enjoy your videos. As an American who has always been an Anglophile but will probably never be able to travel there, I love to see the villages and other sights. I really enjoyed the visit to the medieval church and learning about the history associated with it. Thank you.
Thank you Kevin! What a treat. I loved the Old snd the new. The church was beautiful. The canals are just gorgeous. Cant wait till next time. 😊
Pleasant Journeys, Kevin.
Cool ty!
Thank you, Kevin, for a lovely jaunt through some very pretty countryside. Loved the visit to the Church at Stoke Golding. The flooring, the design, the whole thing is a work of beauty. The stories that those walls could tell. Sigh. I just can't get enough of the gentle putt-putt of your engine and you move along. Has a sound that is very pleasing to the ears.
Looking forward to seeing what the end of the Ashby is like. Has been a while since I have seen other Boat Tubers heading up there.
I can't wait till the day I can travel the canals by Narrowboat, of course as a tourist from America. 😃
Beautiful episode and so glad the ice was gone! Perhaps you tempted fate by doing a season in Jan? 😉 Thanks so much for stopping at St Margaret's - fabulous building, so peaceful & thought-provoking.
You have done a thoroughly lovely job of photography (or is it called videography?) and editing; an enjoyable episode all the way around. I always find myself surprised that it is at the end. Love watching you - from West Texas--
Many thanks Candy. No panic just yet, still 2 episodes to go. ☺️
Once again, a lovely way to wake up here in Texas. Thank you, Kevin
Thanks so much for the views of the church. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thank you 😊
Nice one Kevin and you caught a plane without head gasket issues!!👍
Matt Monro had a superb voice.
This has been a fantastic season of narrowboating. Thank you, Kevin! 🤘
Beautiful old church, the wood ceiling is gorgeous. Thanks, Kevin.
How much of a coincidence is it that the battle of Bosworth field was fought on Bosworth field. Lifes funnylike that.
Enjoy the walkabouts as much as the cruising
I find it interesting that you pass each other on the left when driving the highways. But, you pass each other on the right when sailing the canals. LOL.
Lovely episode! I appreciated your visit to Stoke Golding and its beautiful church!
An American friend of mine started the Ho Chi Minh Triumph, Royal Enfield dealership, after buying himself an old school Triumph for his 50 birthday. He said it was so he could get it serviced by a dealership. Sadly, not all the machines are made in Britain, some have an Asian flavor.
The Ashby IS, indeed, beautiful! My favorite moment is a 3:43, just before passing under bridge number 20! It would make a gorgeous water color painting! I also loved the church tour. Today's video is a lovely typical day in your life!
Ice in canal - evidence of more global warming. Glad you see you and Aslan survived it, Kevin. Thanks for the video of the beautiful church.
Lovely to be taken into beautiful church. Thank you Kevin
Hi Kevin. Lovely video,, but that first bridge (22)? Appeared to be falling apart. Big cracks in the stonework on the left hand side. Church was very nicely kept in good order with plenty of information signs dotted around.
So peaceful!
Many Thanks 👍!
So glad you got to keep your sole food on your feet Kevin, and you got to enjoy a real meal instead... still that ice was persistent! That chapel was very well preserved, bet it cost quite a bit for maintenance, very nice of you to show us. Well, happy travels to you and Aslan... Cheers from Tennessee, USA
Another great ep! One of things I always love about England, is the history. A church that old and in condition is mind blowing. USA is quite young.
However one of the best things about living here these days, is being able to blame senility on Cannabis!
Absolutely marvelous!! Break time with Aslan and CHG!!!
Yayyy!!!🤩🤩🤩
Courtesy of Google and Wikipedia - Bosworth Field … significant battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the houses of Lancaster and York that extended across England in the latter half of the 15th century. Wikipedia. Quite significant!😊
Some absolutely stunning skyscapes in this week's video! I loved the tour of Stoke Golding and it's ancient church too. So glad you managed to get your milk in the end!
21:08 a field? at bosworth? a battle of? no way?! 😂😂😂
bosworth field is a nice place, as i recall, its more a hill! big flag at the top signifying one side, another at the bottom for the other.
nice research there kevin! 😂😂😂
also great vid (as usual 😊)
Church at Penkridge well worth a visit, Wednesdays they cook lunch Vicar gives history of church, good roast is served.
What a nice tour of Stoke Golding. I really liked the visit to the old church.
