The Fens looks truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Hey are really something spectacular, especially when as overgrown as they were when we got there. M
Hi Jo Michael,well you sure exploring the drains today so narrow just as well nothing is coming other way lol we used to keep our boat in the Marina at upwear called five miles from anyway no hurry used to be a great pub ,but in them days it had a license till 2AM so lots of noise lol looks like you are moving all the vegetation for other to follow,looks like the drains are not used much by boats nowadays .,you are deep in the fens so quite and beautiful lots of wild life did you see any owls ?I think it’s called spot the water Michael ,shame about the wind jo never mind we read what you said but I would rather listen to you then read it ,I found this blog very interesting indeed as other boaters don’t use them ,well till next time take care keep safe, John 🥂🌹🇬🇧👀❤️👏👏👏🐕🐕🐕
So this is the area where Waterland is set - amazing!
Unfortunately YT only lets me give this vlog one like. The isolation and tranquillity is stunning.
It’s was definitely a highlight for us!
Fell asleep somewhere past the middle (such soooothing music!) and woke up to maps and earrings! Had to come back and see / hear what I’d missed.
Heh, glad we could get you some rest!! M
The bird was a Tern. Possibly an Arctic Tern. They are fabulous when they hover :). Great video. What a lovely place. Ian
They really are something when they lock onto a fish! M
Fens are lovely, thanks.
Brilliant episode and excellent shot of the tern. Shame there was only one because one good tern deserves another.
Haha. Thank you. Yes. It was a good tern.
Love the music choices.
Thank you
What an idyllic journey in spite of the narrow canal. The water lilies, clouds and reflections in the water were fabulous. The shot of the 2 swans was my favourite and I think this video is one of my favourites of yours so far. Keep up the great photography and happy travels.
Oh wow. I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much. It’s was such an amazing trip it was hard not to make a good video.
Planning to 'do the Lodes' the second half of September so it is great to have a visual of what to expect. Laughed at the misspelling of Upware on your borrowed map! In another few weeks those skies will start to be full of the migrating Bewick and Whooper swans as they head to Welney Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust for the Winter. The black swans are really a sight to behold. Because it is such a long drag to get from the Grand Union Canal to the Ely Ouse - via the Middle Level - few boaters make the journey; and hire boats only available at Ely means that those on a boat for a short time don't bother with the Lodes. If they ever open up the link between Bedford and Milton Keynes I'm sure it will be much busier. Great vlog.
Enjoy the lodes. We can’t recommend the trip highly enough!
Also getting flashes of Lyra and the 'Gyptians heading to Ely in Phillip Pullman's Dark Materials.
They filmed in Sutton Bridge for that film. My family and I spent hours just watching as a helicopter kept coming in to film, ever so many takes. Part of it were children (I think) with a fire basket which we laughed at as we could see the little propane bottle. The boat looked beautiful and it had apparently arrived by lorry into Fosdyke and it was sailed round to Sutton Bridge.
That was a lovely relaxing vlog well put together and set to some lovely music.......stay safe........thanks for sharing
Thank you so much and thanks for watching.
20:12 Best line ever: "Earth-moving digger thing." Nouns. Just gotta love 'em.
Haha, they should officially be called that in my opinion!
Commonly known as a "Swing Shovel" in my part of the world. Which sort of sums up exactly what it does.
Ahh Perseverance roving...thank you...
Your quest to travel all navigable inland waterways as taken you and is to some lovely places. Thanks
Indeed, and the lodes are a definite highlight!
That's journey is more than a little surreal. I thought I was watching the African Queen at one point, although whilst Jo makes a passable Katherine Hepburn, I don't think Michael is going to be mistaken for Humphrey Bogart.
Also nice to see George off the leash; there's something joyous about him.
I assume that rather attractive bird with the long wings which you capture so well at about 23:15 was a tern of some sort.
Also, those were some great skies.
Yeah, you cant help but smile when you see his wagging tail
Snap!
@@MinimalList what, Michael's?
Reach, such a lovely town... and to hear of it's historical commercial life, amazing ....Wonderfully Micheal... wants to literally touch each space he's been. Love his dedication. Kind of like George's obsession to his ball.
Some call it dedication, I call it a bizarrely stubborn need to assuage my own curiosity! M
Reach isn’t a town it’s a small village,when my mum and dad moved there in the 30s my mums Nan described it as the end of the earth!,my 3 siblings were born there!.
Morning good folks, and George, such a happy boy with his ball. Quite a beautiful spot and the water so clear... and this is England. WOW. Yes, you guys are the adventurous types, ... generally why I hang out with you two and George... get more bang for the adventure.
I thought the fens were just flat, swampy, and boring. Wow! They are beautiful! Your video is also unique. I’ve been watching TH-cam narrowboat vids for a long time and I don’t remember anyone traveling the Lodes or even the Wash. The village of Reach was also really cool. I’m going to have to track down more vids of this part of England. Good job, good job!
It's a lovely area, but a bit off the beaten path! So glad we found it! M
A happy cruise, beautiful landscape and heroic skies. Nice filming! Those wide meadows and flat horizons remind me of Holland.
I enjoyed that. You were brave to go through those reeds, glad you didn't get stuck! It reminds me of the Norfolk broads but with less boats. Thanks for doing what you do and stay safe 🙂
Glad you liked it! And thanks for coming along with us! M
I loved Michael's 'Reach'y piece to camera, LOL. What a beautiful episode. And of course George surpassed himself in cuteness.
Shh, don’t encourage him! Lol!
I just have to tell you, George is the best dog ever. He is the reason I follow your vlog. Sorry about that but he is such a playful and loyal little guy he just seals my heart.
Don't be sorry. We know he is the star!
I had just been thinking that one would want to be fully stocked up on water, food, and fuel due to the remoteness when you mentioned groceries. Is there a silver propeller site somewhere in the Fens? Seems like an appropriate place.
Absolutely stunning
It’s a beautiful area
You should enter that film in an arty film competition. Think it would do very well. Beautiful, atmospheric and different from the usual narrowboat journals.
Oh wow. Thank you, what a lovely compliment!
What a lovely day
You two and George are wonderful companions. Thanks for taking me along.
Thanks for coming along.
Beautiful - once more - sky, clouds, water, green reeds, piano music ,and happy people!
Thank you
Charlie Allnut and Rose battle through the reeds. But they reach Reach. Just a lovely cruise and I really wish I was on board with you. And with me being an amateur Bird watcher it would have been heaven. I'm sure I saw a Common Tern. Thanks, guys. All the best. Stephen
Another fantastic blog, you guys go to the back and beyond and share your fantastic experiences with us all. Keep the clogs rolling.
So nice to hear you enjoyed it
Magnificent. The true essence of ditch crawling. Such a contrast to the over crowded canals, 'K n A in August' : definitely on my to do list. Thanks guys peace at last.
Yeah, we feel lucky to have found somewhere all to ourselves in peak season!
What a beautiful and peaceful flog. Thank you for all your hard work week after faithful week.
You’re welcome! Though I’m not sure how peaceful flogs are! M
It’s certainly a lovely area. So much tranquility, wildlife and history in one timeless landscape. One of my favourite places.
It’s just wonderful isn’t it!
My parents had there boat mored at Upware marina for 20 odd yrs but we never took the boat up the lodes, so Thankyou for vloging them. Looking forward to you going up to Bedford and the end of the Navigation. I spent my whole childhood on this river network.
It’s a lovely part of the team.
Oh yeah, good dog George! 🎾🎾🎾
Good dog indeed! M
Sometimes it takes a different view to realize what a beautiful place I live in. I use the areas all the time for dog walking a cycling even use the tow path for chores in Cambridge to avoid extortionate parking costs. You don’t realise how special it is when you see it all the time. Thanks for the reminder. I live in Stretham between waterbeach and Ely. I am lucky and next time I go out I will have my eyes open. Thank you.
What a lovely place to live! Definitely very lucky. I know what you mean about needing the reminder though.
Fabulous as ever Michael and Jo. Your vlogs are without doubt the most enjoyable. Btw, I took my daughter Rosalie for a days narrowboating on 8th September from March Fox marina and I was telling her about your vlogs and lifestyle. I could hardly believe it when I recognised Michael’s hat and beard. Of all the canals in all the world you were travelling on ours, the old Nene. I shouted hello and Jo was filming us on her cell phone. Made my day. Such a coincident. Rosie thought I was “starstruck” Love to you both and of course George.
Hah, well lovely to see you and Rosalie! Obviously the videos are a wee bit behind us, but if Jo was filming watch for that one in a couple of months! M
What a beautiful place, no wonder you are enjoying the Lodes, the reeds and lilies are gorgeous, the narrowness and high reed beds so enticing and remote, but I wouldn't want to meet another boat there!
The lode were one of the highlights of the year for sure. Blissfully quiet. Thanks for watching
Quite simply beautiful, one of my favourite vlogs, the music chimed perfectly with the scenery, captured wonderfully by you two. Just the tonic I needed, thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Take care you three.
Thank you Maggie. It’s so nice to hear you are still enjoying the videos. I hope you are well.
I find the fens amazing love the isolation it offers also find it haunting especially when the wind blows through the grasses and reeds.
The Lodes in a good wind are just stunning ... like watching the sea in a storm, all in green! M
Such unspoilt beauty and so many boaters have no idea what could be waiting for them. Thanks to your "pioneering" blogs maybe others will be enthused to follow your searching for the "mother-lode". Sorry, I should have resisted that pun but it got away from me.
That journey with the perfect accompanying music was so very relaxing, for the mind and the soul. Just 'perfick'!
Thank you also for the trip into Reach. Wow, those graphic signs. Stunning artworks in themselves. Please share more of these cities and villages. Watching from Downunder it gives me an insight into the wonderful English way of life.
Take care, stay safe and well. An extra pat for the delightful George.
Thank you! George has been duly patted! M
Good morning, Great trip down those very narrow water ways. Looks really nice scenery and great to see George enjoying himself. Have a great week.
Thank you. Have a good week too
You go to some beautiful places .
We feel very lucky to be able to
How beautiful. The music just added to the beauty. Thanks so much for posting.
Glad you liked it! M
I had to watch this vlog twice as I was so inspired by its content I will definitely hire a boat and retrace your mini voyage. The amount of times I've traveld the road from Cambridge to King's Lynn across the Fens and thought to myself I'd love to explore the fenns by boat Thank you for inspiration
I hope you get to do it
The Burwell lode leads to my first home in England. I miss The Anchor; it was a short walk from my flat and close to several mooring points.
Great to see you cruising our local waters. We visit Wicken Fen regularly to walk the dogs and enjoy the fens and lodes. We were there only last week and walked along the Burwell lode from the lift Bridge to the moorings next to Wicken lode. There were 2 boats moored at the Wicken moorings and we commented that you might have had a problem finding a spot at that beautiful mooring. Keep up the great vlogs and hope we may bump into you again one day. Barrie & Margaret (Rusalka)
Nice to see you, hope we do again! M
Stunning area! Great tern (I think) footage!
I agree. One good tern deserves another.
I agree... the Fens are gorgeous .... I'd stay here for as long as the food held out... You guys always find the beauty others ignore.
Simply just perfect thank you both.
Thank so much. Glad you enjoyed it
The reeds remind me of the African Queen, and the "Old Muddy"....
Idyllic stuff in a demi-paradise! And such wide views that seem to go on forever! I was also thinking that you've left the best to last! Thank you very much for this, really special.
Agreed. The Ouse and its Tributaries are just stunning and the Lodes are a real highlight.
Jo and Michael, thank you so much for filming so beautifully, the music was perfect altogether so soothing. A really beautiful area. Christine T
Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed it.
You reached as far as you could reach on the upper reaches of the Reach!
I really needed the chuckle I got out of that one this morning! Thanks for that!
Always good to cause a chuckle! M
Good thing you like to walk ... and CAN !!! I like to walk but can't for long
That's my situation too ... Jo gets all the walks in, and my foot just throbs in sympathy! M
I live In this area but I’ve never seen views like this. This is fantastic
It really is stunning, glad you liked our perspective on it! M
I enjoyed it, thanks for making it
Glad you enjoyed it! M
Michael, I'm glad you Reach-ed your destination. leaving no reach unexplored and pushing on to the limit of the reach.
Indeed lol
Such peacefulness and appreciation for beauty was exactly what I needed this morning. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Simply stunning….and on our doorstep. Can’t wait to explore. What an amazing view the house has at the turn point!!
Yes. Which is why I wondered how they felt about visiting boats! There are so many walks around the lodes. I which I had had time to do more
@@MinimalList you’ll have to stay for longer… or come back!😜👍
We’re finding it hard to leave
@@MinimalList I would say don’t but know you have And must do for your challenge. Look forward to seeing you on the middle levels! 😜😜
That's so tranquil! And so narrow!
Yes and yes. It really was a special trip.
Some amazing footage and yes ... that house at your mooring ..wow xxx
Yeah! It was stunning and what a view straight down the lode!
lovely thanks
Thank you!
This was a brilliant vlog. The scenery was lovely, even with the reeds. Thank you for taking us on your journey. Marjorie
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
So lovely to see you in our area, we have lived here over 50 years and love it. We have walked down many of the loads and Wicken fen is a lovely spot. Had we thought we could have come and said hello still perhaps another time. So glad you have enjoyed your time in Cambridgeshire it’s a lovely place to live. Pat and Peter
Sorry we missed you. What a lovely area you live in!
Overwhelming reeds. Thinking of story Wind in the Willows
I don't own a boat, and I don't live anywhere near that part of the world you have passed through. But after viewing this episode I feel compelled to go visit Reach, and then walk along the banks of those loads.
Thank you for sharing the resplendant beauty and tranquility of travelling at about 2.3 miles per hour.
We highly recommend a visit. Thanks so much for watching.
Beautiful vlog! I loved it! Thanks for the link. So peaceful to watch and the music with it just lovely. At one point Perseverance looked like it was floating across a field of reeds as it was so narrow you could not see the water, absolutely brilliant. Thank you for taking us along with you. You could see George was enjoying it all as well. Mission accomplished!.👍.
Glad you enjoyed it! You can see why we listed it as one of our highlights!
Beautiful countryside I had never seen before, and I never knew about the Lodes. I've put them on bucket list now. Thanks.
Definitely a bucket list destination!
The Fens is a fascinating area. We lived there for about six years and loved it. Good to see you in the area.
So glad we've come to see the Fens for ourselves! Lovely area you've got here! M
Thanks for taking us off the beaten track again, a chance to see navigations less travelled!!
Thanks for coming along
I have the most disagreeable morning, with admin and the lack of interest from firms towards a customer. This blog has thrown that away and given the best feeling. Thank you both so much.
Sorry to hear about your Monday morning stress! Glad we helped a little!
@@MinimalList You helped a lot!!!
Love that music. Lots of reeds. Good for the wildlife, not so good for boating. Hard choices for the EA and government, almost boaters versus the environment.
Thank you. I have added the details of the music to the video description. I think it is a balance.
Fantasitc. You brought back many memories of being there in the late 1970's with my dad, in and around Wicken Fenn. Beautiful VLOG
Glad you liked it! M
It's great to see you enjoying yourselves, and appreciating it too!
Thank you.
What an absolutely stunning vlog in every respect! Beautiful scenery complemented by a perfect selection of music. I really think that the fact that it doesn't see much boat traffic is half it's appeal. Imagine encountering someone coming the opposite direction on the Reach Lode!
Definitely, there is something special about being the only boat on the water.
When you want to take NB on every yard of navigable canal, then that is what you have to do.
Love the Fens: March has been our home base for the last 30 years, when we visit UK.
Whickham Fen is a great place to visit.
It really is a lovely area! We'll actually be visiting March pretty soon! M
Great trip. Thanks for persevering.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Great show guys. The bird you filmed in slow mo was a Kite.
Thanks for that! M
I love the Fens and really enjoyed your take on them. You could thatch the boat with the reeds you collected. I particularly like how you go to out if the way, less visited places. Music has improved, too. ☺
Jo, your earrings look great and your editing is fantastic professional level, this video was so peaceful.
Thank you and thank you. So happy you enjoyed it!
Lovely video, one to take the stress out of the day. Such a relaxing music track, leaning back in my chair I was almost snoozing in the well deck with a cold one.
Bu99er there's another email! Back to reality.
Really lovely cruise. Alot of hard work Jo...Out in the wilds of your lovely Country..
Thank you !!😊
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
What a delightful, relaxing cruise, especially with the music you chose!
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Fabulous vlog and stunning scenery. Thank you both.
You’re most welcome. Thanks for watching.
Another great trip. I WAS GETTING JUST A BIT ANXIOUS when the reeds were closing in on yall...
Hah, so was I! M
It looks absolutely beautiful - perhaps even more beautiful than some of the canals!
I don’t disagree!
Thanks for sharing this a most beautiful amazing area and one of your best films thanks 🙏 x
Thank you for the very kind words
One of your most interesting vlogs to date! A nice change from endless locks.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
One of my favorite pieces of music is Ralph Vaughan Williams “In the Fen Country.” I’ve listened to it for 55+ years, but I’ve never been able actually visit it. Thanks for this vicarious trip.
You’re welcome. That’s such a lovely comment!
Tales of the Riverbank
There is a common asked question …. If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one around to hear the sound …. Is there a sound ? I thought of this when watching your video, how much beauty there is in this area of your journey and if you had not been there would it have been any less beautiful ? I concluded your presence and obvious joy and contentment in being there enhanced it’s beauty many fold. A great vlog thank you. Nev NB Percy
Thanks! Always wondered about that question ... yes, there's absolutely a sound. Air pressure doesn't care, or notice, if there are ear drums present! M
Nice video. After watching the River Lark video I decided to do the River myself. Peaceful and scenic. Am moored up on the GOBA pump house. It's lovely here.
See you soon and I'll pass my carvings to you when I catch up
So glad you enjoyed the Lark too!
Hi folks, I've just subscribed. I've only done the fens once, but would love to do so again, but on a wider beamed hireboat. We did a couple of the offshoot rivers, but I didn't know where the junction for the lord's was, so did'nt do them. Having now watched this vid, it looks like the Burwell load is doable in a wider beamed boat, Reach lode is definitely a no no though. A really interesting and informative vid, thanks for posting it.
Reach looks much worse than it is… you’d be pushing reeds aside, but there was quite a bit of water still either side of us… still don’t think you’d want much wider than 10 feet, maximum. M
Wow, that was a bit different ! Jo you and George are so fit to walk so far. All the best xx
It’s a wonderful area!
Lovely vlog very relaxing x
Thank you!
really enjoyed this one. its great to see the varied scenery of England. thanks.
Pete, bendigo, australia
Thank you. It’s so nice to hear you enjoyed it!
Your videos are so professionally done now. The music is beautiful and your narration over the top whilst travelling is great. I think I'm upto 180 on your earlier videos and then I watch each new one when I see it uploaded. I absolutely love your earlier videos but this one could be picked up by a travel channel, it's brilliant.
Thank you for such a lovely compliment. And it’s a relief to head that we have improved a bit.
I really enjoyed the piano music in this vlog! Very restful, and goes well with such a beautiful area! Another one of Jo's favorite places that you've gone! Cheers!
Yes, it’s definitely in my list of new favourite canals
Thank you for this beautiful journey, along such a wonderful waterway, I need to visit myself.
I highly recommend a trip on the lodes. They are just stunning
