A very nice cruise thanks Sam and Tim. It's always great with you two, you dont make me work doing the 17 locks and such, in fact it's like you dont even know I'm here. Keep on chugging, and take care.
A nice spotting of "Way To Blue" of the Never more than 4 channel at 5:50. A very distinctive boat!! And so nice to see Gareth and Nicole. Haven't seen them for ages. Thanks for posting your trip.
Hi Sam and Tim❣️ I’m enjoying the progress you’re making, beautiful countryside and friendly neighbors- who could ask for more 💕 ? Always love to see folks helping each other, as we all should 🥰
Great vlog as usually guys. Many thanks for the shout out to my channel too. Hope to see you on the cut one day soon or at Crick if you’re going there this year. Thanks again. Phil xx
As always, very nice VLOG. Look at you Tim, confident captain, arm casually draped over the tiller, maneuvering with great skill (and a shout out to your for the 180 degree turn from the last video). Also, I must say, you are a nice young man, for helping secure that adrift narrow boat, well done! (BTW, I’m being sincere in my compliment of Tim’s skill - Not snarky)
Well Tim and Sam , thankyou as always for a lovely cruise. And such a variety of boats and utility vessels, really wonderful to see. As you get closer to London let us know your plans, looking forward to your " London Diaries ." Much love from Florida Laura 🍊🧡🤗🧡🌞🧡
Hey guys, I’m sincere in my compliments to Tim’s ship handling skills - When I reread my prior post, it struck me as snarky, which it was not meant be. 😀
Can't wait for the next couple ill be looking out for my boat depending on when this was filmed I should be around the mk area would love to see it ! Keep chugging guys
I'm really interested in the unusual bow end of that red and green boat you passed right at the beginning. It seems to have been built to make much better use of space than having a well deck, which I'm not keen on anyway.
Willl keep an eye out for you guys passing us on Utopia at Cosgrove. I'm sure you'll love MK so many great places to stop at. Easy for shopping at Wolverton. Keep an eye out for all the sculptures and Great graffiti.
Hi Sam, Tim, another great Vlog.Some great scenery and unusual boats too. That was nice you Tim, to let the owner of their boat drifting from it's mooring know, and what a great comment "You're a nice young Man". Nice to see your friends come on board. That tunnel looked a bit scary. I did not know one had to wear a life jacket going thru a tunnel, on a River yes? I'm learning more things all the time. Great stats as always, although slightly slipping behind your forecast. Do you think you will be able to get you average back up to 1.5mph? Are there many long stretches without locks to build up your average. Have a Great Easter. Take care.
Hi SB, we aren't sure if we're going to make the 1.5mph average. There are a lot of locks on the Grand Union. Nothing is impossible though. Thanks for your comment as always. Keep chugging 😁👍👍🏾
@@chuggingalong oh! I didn't realise! It was a pretty small boat and I'm not sure I could live in such a tiny space! I'm glad they're still healthy and happy! And I definitely will keeeeeeep chugging!
Is there a popular narrowboating community website somewhere that everyone goes to? We would like to buy a widebeam to live on, so we have lots of questions about how to go about it, finance it, etc. A website with a lively friendly community and a forum would be ideal. Thanks! :-)
Hi there, there are forums but we're not sure about them. There's definitely a widebeam Facebook group though! That should be a good starting point. Thanks for your comment. Keep chugging 😁👍👍🏾
Hi both love the vlogs, me and my partner are thinking of buying from whilton marina, did you have a good experience with them and would you recommend them, 😊 thanks
Hi Border, we had a meeting point to get to, which sadly wasn't in a town or village! So there wasn't really anywhere to explore. Thanks for your comment as always 😁👍👍🏾 Keep chugging
Sam and Tim--off topic, and of no importance for you, but for those who use solid fuel stoves, I happened across a new variety of charcoal briquettes, allegedly now available in the UK: th-cam.com/video/meBd1GHC2yg/w-d-xo.html Combined with a coalcage: th-cam.com/video/zuFHLGxsF6A/w-d-xo.html it looks very promising.
First the worst 😏
My partner and I recently moved on our own boat on the Thames. It's been amazing so far. Keep chugging!
Glad to hear it's going well! The Thames is beautiful :) Keep chugging

Way To Blue is probably my favorite boat because of the colorful paint. It's a fabulous DIY paint job.
@@dorothydotson7154 Agreed!!
Ah knew I recognised that beautiful boat!
Good to know! Thanks Ruth 😁👍👍🏾 Keep chugging

Hi Martin, yes, there are quite a few boats that don't have big well decks to increase internal space. Thanks for your comment! Keep chugging
Lovely vlog..seems so real
Thanks Mark! Keep chugging
Great vlog, we loved Braunsten it was nice to the guys from Rosebud

Has Sam been in charge of the tiller yet? . I know she said that's more Tim's department but can we have a vid with Sam at the helm one time ?
I got 50ft trad Warren from whilton....Great place
Good to hear! We were happy with their service too 😁👍👍🏾
Did Gareth and Nicole mention if they'd be making any new vlogs or actually take Rosebud out on the canal?
Good vlog this week btw
Thanks Sian! They've sold Rosebud. Keep chugging
@@chuggingalong oh! I didn't realise! It was a pretty small boat and I'm not sure I could live in such a tiny space! I'm glad they're still healthy and happy! And I definitely will keeeeeeep chugging!
There are so many boats. Does the government have a limit on how many boats are allowed in the canals?
Not at the moment! Maybe one day if it gets too popular 😂

Why did you not stop to explore places on the way…..
Hi Border, we had a meeting point to get to, which sadly wasn't in a town or village! So there wasn't really anywhere to explore. Thanks for your comment as always 😁👍👍🏾 Keep chugging
Is it true that all British beer is brewed with canal water?
Haha! We really hope not 😂😂 Keep chugging Dietrich
Sam and Tim--off topic, and of no importance for you, but for those who use solid fuel stoves, I happened across a new variety of charcoal briquettes, allegedly now available in the UK:
th-cam.com/video/meBd1GHC2yg/w-d-xo.html
Combined with a coalcage:
th-cam.com/video/zuFHLGxsF6A/w-d-xo.html
it looks very promising.
Thanks Alan! We'll check that out! Keep chugging
