Most kind. It is the truth. Back in a month. Time flies and Sunday's gave me a look forward to. Thank you. Hope to catch up next year if you're at Crick
Hi NB's Happy New Year. Hope 2019 is kind to you both. In 2018 you have both grown and done so much. It's been such a treat to be able to follow your adventures. And what an adventure it's been. Sometimes when you haven't eaten you can get Hangry, and after you have your crappy morning won't seem so bad. Have a fab journey ladies, Alice & Munchie. Look forward to following your adventures next year. 👭🏻🐱🐈💖🐶🐾
I like how open you ladies are and find it quite important that you show how it really is to manage locks as a lady. I know it can't be ease to operate all the locks and deal with a boat of that size with so little power. You ladies seam to do quite well keep up the good work and remember to take breaks as multiple locks can be quite difficult.
Hi girls, I live in Scottsdale Arizona and like most Americans I have a soft spot in my heart for the UK. After watching a number of videos made by you sweet hearts. I believe having a sweet spot for the UK is now mandatory .
what a lovely vlog thank you! Willeymoor is also a fabulous pub with the best fish and chips :) And the Llangollen Canal is so nice. I feel for you - I also get massively clogged up with even small amounts of leaves.
Hi Ladies and wish you and all yours a happyhols. You weren't beaten. When I saw the title, I had visions of a lock that was too high with inadequate access ladders. You did good. I did the canals around Birmingham with Mum and Dad (happy, happy days - but a long time ago). I remember one lock was huge and steep walls with no ladders. At the time I was fit keen and trained to .. So i climbed up the face of the gates. Just my theory but I think "we" never realise how good a time was, until it finishes. Take care and have a great holiday.
Yay, thanks. The locks were tough, but we don't think we should complain too much. Put the kettle on have a cup of tea and ultimately you are still moored somewhere beautiful.
I am a boy so I can use the word knackered, and that is just how you two looked after that staircase with all its leaves, better days ahead after a good sleep, go girls you have a lot of people at your back!
We were pretty much as tired as we have been in a while. We are so grateful for all of the kind words we never want it to look like complaining because we are living a great dream, but some days you just have to admit that the locks beat you.
a big WELL DONE Anna for standing your ground over flooding the lock as we would have all been devastated had you followed his advice and sunk your beautiful boat its nice to see a woman stick up for herself in these situations once again a big WELL DONE, happy Christmas to you, Kath, Munchie, and Alice, and all the best for 2019 plus happy cruising 2019
love the sound of that diesel engine in that boat and its a very nice boat i have been on canals long time a go its a hard working holiday cruising is nice to see all the nice country sides
Another wonderful video. I love that you tell us the names of the locks and show the bridges. I'm sitting here in Utah, USA following along with my Nicholson's guide. So fun. We'll spend the last two weeks of May on the Four Counties Ring. Our first time on the cut and we're so excited!! Thanks for taking all the time to provide your channel.
Merry Christmas Kath and Anna, we love the Llangollen Canal. We travel there twice. Glad you are enjoying it. We enjoy your vlogs very much. All the best for 2019, Bryan & Donna, Quebec, Canada
Thanks for alle the volgs. It was a joy to watch all of them in the advent time. I wish you a merry Christmas and hopefully a very good new year with more of your wonderful videos.
Your vlogs are just wonderful. They lift my spirits and make me smile. You’re both always awesome in every way. Merry Christmas to you both and to Munchy and Alice xx
As someone whose family were from Wrenbury since at least 1700s (we now live in Crewe...just down the road from Nantwich) I visit Wrenbury quite a lot. Always wanted to go on a narrow boat as we love the open and I think it would be so relaxing and good for anxiety. Great vid.
Ladies without fail I always look forward to watching your videos, thank you so much for bringing us viewers along on your journey and sharing with us your adventures. Here's wishing you both and of course your cats to a merry Christmas & happy new year 😁
Hi Anna and Kath. I finally got the narrowboat pins. They went to my brother in England, were picked up by my sister and transported to Canada. I met my sister for our Christmas celebration, a bit early, and collected the pins. Nicely done. Merry Christmas to you. I look forward to many more of your adventures.
It's Friday I think 5th June 2020, been watching you both all afternoon, your vloggs are great very interesting n educational. I'm thinking of living on a 40ft if can sort something. Thanks for your events, better than TV anyday xx
Love watching your videos. Merry Christmas you two. By the way....love the music you have with your videos. I keep my eyes open for you when I am out and about on the canals.
Great video as usual, so glad to see you girls fought through the difficult locks one lock at a time and live to fight another day! Have a jolly Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas girls. Keep warm looks quite chilly there. Our Christmas week in Adelaide is going to be in the 40's so I'll have the AC on. Have a great new year to.
Merry Christmas Cath, Anna, Munchie and Alice, have a lovely well deserved festive season, keep half an eye on the weather so if you do get iced in you are near your essential services x x x x
Great video , I hate locks lol , the worst I went through which was tiring , was foxton flight , I really hated it , my back can't cope with locks these days , so I go on the broads now .
Munchy is like Dexter, when we’re moving he goes up and down the steps non stop....only Dexter is 40kg and is always getting in the way. Have a fantastic Christmas
Still loving your Llangollen videos. Hope you had a few in The Dusty Miller whilst you were in Wrenbury. Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to you both. Dave.
Girls, you are awesome, no argument. Going in and out of locks, in a 6' 10" wide lump of steel with culverts all over the place, is no easy thing. So the odd clang here or knock there is always forgivable and deffo not embarrassing...cue naughty smile to camera from Anna M.....😂. Grindley Brooks locks are not the easiest, like you I've been up and down a few times, most awkward on your own, but when there's the lockies round its a breeze. Hope you enjoyed Whitchurch, its a lovely quaint place to spend a few days. On your way back, if its open, a call in at the Willeymoor pub is a must. Its gorgeous. Food lovely, interior spot on and the landlady is delightful. Merry Christmas to all on board the Ewart, and a Happy cruising new year, see you soon. 🎄🎄💖
Have been watching Brummies Outdoors on TH-cam. ....horrified to see what lurks beneath the surface. .........Keep up the good work and happy Christmas xxx
When we did Grindley locks the boat in front got stuck between 1 and 2 going up. Not enough water as they hadn't put paddle down fully on 1. They put it in full reverse just as enough water reached the boat. Smashed in to bottom lock gate! Luckily I had lock keepers to help.
Great vid of a beautiful stretch of canal! Thanks 👍👍 In Dutch there is a saying that the “best” captains are on the shore side ... seems the gathered around the step lock this time 🤣🤣🤪 Have a great Christmas! 🌲🌲
Your quite right - its your boat and you do it the way you want - I always made a point of telling the so called "experts' politely - but they got the message - - - -so good for you ! and Merry Xmas you two lovely boaters - great vid as always -
Thank you. Sometimes, because I'm so used to people being nice and helpful, when there is a not so nice 'know it all' it can be confusing. But I held my ground and I'm really proud of myself.
Great vlog both. We often stay at a small caravan site by the side of those "horrible 3locks " and watch / gongoozl the antics of boaters travelling through. The volunteers there seem to be quite helpful normally. That cafe there would of been worth a visit,yummy food and nice strong coffees ! Merry Christmas both !
I think if it had not been Autumn we would have been fine. Also our first time to encounter a lock absolutely full of leaves. So a learning experience.
another great vlog Happy Christmas to you both. Good to see Rocking Robbin has made it on to one of your videos the fame!! Best wishes for next years cruising.
You are always awesome.....even when dealing with thin locks full of leaves. Very pretty canal....But lots of leaves at thus time of year...But what can you do
Thanks Geeks. We recommend the Llangollen to you- too beautiful. But please wave your fist at Grindley Brook lock for us as it definitely did not play nice.
Whitchurch would be a good place to spend Christmas. Recommend ‘Etzio ‘ Italian restaurant on the high street, they do an earlybird set menu and even a £5.00 lunch menu(with wine). We did the Llangollen canal in September - excellent canal , although the lift bridges can be a pain.
Glad you did the locks your own way. Always some know it all with answers to problems they were never asked to solve. I hope you’re both enjoying your voyage? 😊
The most enjoyable of all the Narrowboat vlogs on the Tube. Have a great Christmas and New Year.
I have pinned your lovely comment to the top. X

Its always nice to eat out from time to time, no prep work, cooking and no washing up, what a treat, great vlog as all ways.

I know it can't be ease to operate all the locks and deal with a boat of that size with so little power.

You should go and have a look at the narrow boat girl.
AnnaMarie, no matter what you say... you both are always awesome. it looks like I'm only 6 months behind you and I'll be caught up on your vlogs. yay
I never thought I would spend a day binge watching a TH-cam channel. But wow ladies your channel is fabulous.
Oh wow awesome

Thank you for the tip, also good to know it's not just us having trouble with the leaves.
Thanks for the map ... it puts things in context for those of us on other continents. :)
You’re welcome. Glad it helps.
My wife and I looked at each other and groaned at the mansplaining. Good job standing your ground!

I like the no negativity policy from you awesome duo. Always smiling, it’s what we need. Smiling happy people
Yay, thanks. The locks were tough, but we don't think we should complain too much. Put the kettle on have a cup of tea and ultimately you are still moored somewhere beautiful.
Hi, love your vlogs, they make me all warm and cosy on the inside - thanks

Love those locks I remember the staircase locks and that white cafe. We didn't stop. Either way.

As someone whose family were from Wrenbury since at least 1700s (we now live in Crewe...just down the road from Nantwich) I visit Wrenbury quite a lot. Always wanted to go on a narrow boat as we love the open and I think it would be so relaxing and good for anxiety. Great vid.
The life style can be very mindful- so good for anxiety. But, there are still pressures so you still need to practice being calm.
Ladies without fail I always look forward to watching your videos, thank you so much for bringing us viewers along on your journey and sharing with us your adventures. Here's wishing you both and of course your cats to a merry Christmas & happy new year 😁
What a kind thing to say. Thank you so much.
Great stuff girls, keep tham coming.. Brought back happy memories of walking those towpaths a few years ago.
Glad you liked it
Hi Anna and Kath. I finally got the narrowboat pins. They went to my brother in England, were picked up by my sister and transported to Canada. I met my sister for our Christmas celebration, a bit early, and collected the pins. Nicely done.
Merry Christmas to you. I look forward to many more of your adventures.
They are some well travelled pins, but great quality and well up to the task.
It's Friday I think 5th June 2020, been watching you both all afternoon, your vloggs are great very interesting n educational. I'm thinking of living on a 40ft if can sort something. Thanks for your events, better than TV anyday xx
Thank you for another wonderful vlog ladies and a very Merry Christmas to the four of you.

Great video as usual, so glad to see you girls fought through the difficult locks one lock at a time and live to fight another day! Have a jolly Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Living to fight another day is very important. We had a cup of tea and brushed it off.

Oh yes I spent a Christmas in Adelaide one year and melted onto the pavement- my own fault for leaving the shopping centre really.
Lovely video ladies, I love that area. Presumably you are in Llangollen now for Christmas.Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Thank you, Merry Christmas. x
hi ive just seen this vlog fantastic ill keep watching
Welcome aboard
When we did Grindley locks the boat in front got stuck between 1 and 2 going up. Not enough water as they hadn't put paddle down fully on 1. They put it in full reverse just as enough water reached the boat. Smashed in to bottom lock gate! Luckily I had lock keepers to help.
Yes, I can imagine. I'm hoping the gates are more friendly on the way back.
I love your vlogs Merry Christmas!
Thank you
well girls a very good vid so be safe and have a good Christmas and a happy new year
Thank you
Looks like a nice place to be.
Oh it is!
Wishing you both a merry christmas and happy New year. I am looking forward to some great videos in 2019 xx
We look forward to delivering some great vlogs- if only we could tell you what we have planned.... spoilers.
Your boat your rules the rest can be just fools. Good for you Ladies. Keep going.
Love it. Thanks.
Merry xmas girls, thanks for many hours of videos, I love the Llangollen, have a great year in 2019
Merry Christmas and a happy new year girls
Thank you, and you.
I forgot to wish you both a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
Same to you

You are always awesome.....even when dealing with thin locks full of leaves. Very pretty canal....But lots of leaves at thus time of year...But what can you do
Thank you so much, very kind words.
hello ladies : Another awesome video really enjoyable
11:50 so true. take no notice of kindly helpers. The buc stops with you. Full stop. nice vid ;-)
Was here September 2017
Great video...again MERRY CHRISTMAS LADIES !!!
And to you.
We’d say that you beat those locks. Well done Ladies! 👍
Thanks Geeks. We recommend the Llangollen to you- too beautiful. But please wave your fist at Grindley Brook lock for us as it definitely did not play nice.
Great video - Happy Christmas to you all xx
Thank you, happy Christmas to you also.
Merry Christmas 🎄 guys all the best for 2019.
Thank you
nice , thanks for the uploads.. Merry Christmas
Whitchurch would be a good place to spend Christmas. Recommend ‘Etzio ‘ Italian restaurant on the high street, they do an earlybird set menu and even a £5.00 lunch menu(with wine). We did the Llangollen canal in September - excellent canal , although the lift bridges can be a pain.
I’ll take note of these recommendations thanks.
Glad you did the locks your own way. Always some know it all with answers to problems they were never asked to solve. I hope you’re both enjoying your voyage? 😊
Great saying thanks.
Awesome vlog thx for sharing music was good too xoxo
Glad you enjoyed it
