That sounds amazing and I can’t wait to hear more! In my opinion you deserve a job in film making because your videos are fantastic. I’m sure all of your subscribers will agree. I was starting to get worried because you’d been gone so long! Thanks as always for a great video.
This area was my playground as a teenager. We fished and did everything else that teenagers do in the area covered by this video. The only change I noticed, in the 50 odd years since, is that the banks of the Trent have got very overgrown with bushes now that all the fishermen have moved to small ponds.
I'm so thankful for folks like you that film stuff like this. I am so fascinated with Narrow Boating and watch every video I can find on them. I'd love to move across the pond and live on a Narrow Boat! :)
This has reached full circle for me. Shardlow is where I first met you and went on a superb journey to Liverpool Thanks for a wonderful video. The filming was wonderful and your commentary as usual was to the point and very interesting.
Robbielad! SO glad to see this latest vid...Like many, MANY others, I've been wondering and hoping all is well with you! Great video, sir, and looking forward to more of your postings. Just SO relieved you're alive, and apparently well. And you seem excited about what's unfolding in the next chapter of your life. Please continue producing your videos, and showing the rest of us the wonders and beauty of where you live? It's GREAT to have you back...As always, all the best to you, Robbie! J.
A very exciting time for you! Oh, I miss the Trent. Last years journey on the Trent was my favourite of all my boating so far. Yes, I was told to open the paddle on the same side as the boat. The water heads for the opposite wall, bounces back and keeps the boat glued to the wall. I operated the lock at Hazlehurst to help a single hander out who was on a mission and no lockies around. I admit I was scared but we did it :) Wow, it looks great up near Tod! Thanks for the video and the catch up.
Good day Robbie. Glad you are enjoying your new work. I thought I’d share that you are having an impact on the language of Narrowboating. Recently I was watching a Minimal List video where they had to deal with heavy currents. They said,”We better Crank It!” I commented you would be proud and the said,”We hope so!”
... best of adventure in your new direction ... should seem strange for a month or so ... but then you will soar to the top ... we stand behind you Robbie ...
Good to see you again Robbie,AND looking well. All the best for your new adventure and projects. Yes we viewers love to see what’s going on on the cut with ALL you guys but we don’t own your time. You give us so much anyway.. Have a life apart from us! Just keep us posted now and again!!!
Yay! A new vlog from Robbie!! Happy days and great to see you looking so pleased. Your films are looking good and cannot wait to hear your news! All the best from Sheffield 😄
What a beautiful stretch of canal that is where you are, I go fishing on the Leeds/Liverpool and also the Bridgewater canal, but none of the stretches I fish are as beautiful as that. The Leeds/Liverpool at Johnson's Hillock, Whittle le Woods near Chorley is a pretty stretch of canal come to think of it
Nice 1 Rob, like the suspense tactic keep em hanging for more! Looking forward to the reveal to see what your up to. Didn’t have access to your sound cloud for a proper look and play of the backing tracks as I would normally, but liked those reworked tracks! Cheers
Great vlog Robbie, great to see you out and about mate. Good to hear you have a new job and look forward to seeing your work results when you have the time to release them. Although we have not seen or heard from you for a while, very understandable that work should come first. Take care Robbie live the dream and keep on cranking it. 😁🤗🙂🍺
Hi Robbie.Great to have you back with us. Loved all of your vlogs,especially Pub of the week. We did what you are doing for three years. been on land now for seven years. Watching you lot out there has got us broody wanting to get back on the cut again. Keep on cranking mate. Good luck with the new job. Cant wait to hear what it is. Love Dave and Diane xx.(Kisses are from my missus. Coz she fancys ya.. I asked her why. Her answer was" I don't know really, There is just something that I can't put my finger on". Knowing her its Fingers on something else. ;);)
So good to see you again. The Rochdale Canal looks beautiful. Did these people at the lock not realise how lucky they were to see you 😉? All the best with your new job 😊
Hi Robbie, Nice to see your doing well and the weather on the Rochdale is playing nice it's hell when it rains, But your in walking distance of the railway station and fish and chip shop. Going back in Littleborough can be hard there is lock just next to abandoned factory where there is no lock ladder
Was getting a tad worried about you, Robbie! Sooo good to see you again, with, yet again, a bloody brilliant vlog! 'Pub of the week' has also been sadly missed!😊 All love, and best wishes, Claire, Berlin👌✌😘
Great to see you again Robbie! Look forward to every Vlog. I would very much love to sit down and have a good beer with you (more than one) but I have to make it across the Pond first. Thanks Again Mark in Florida.
Hi Robbie, this kiwi from Nottingham enjoyed your video, awesome ! and its good to see you back be it for a short while for you. some of the views where terrific. Regards from my side of the planet. John NZ.
Great to see you back Robbie and glad things looking good with your new job and film-making !! As for those miserable blokes at the lock you shared , I say their loss if they didn't want to chat..
Great update. Do u have any plans to do the Huddersfield broad/narrow canal and take on the Standedge Tunnel. If you do the Riverhead Brewery Tap in Marsden could well be a contender for pub of the week.
Awesome. Me and my wife walk the canal and frequent the pub most weekends. Gutted we didn’t bump into you. Hope the canal was kind as it doesn’t always look navigable in places when the water is low. Happy boating!!
Thank you! It was honestly the most challenging canal I’ve ever been on, the CRT need to close it and sort it out - but at the same time it’s beautiful and a miracle you can still travel along it after all it’s been through!
Ah, poor lone bloke on a boat - you look like you're doing well on it! Looking forward to what's coming next. PS Lovely countryside - just the odd few chimneys in the background to remind you that the canals were originally industrial channels
Not at this point of the river. What’s happening (which I should have realised) is the river is narrower than it is upstream and that causes it to speed up
That mannequin you were talking to at the beginning was actually a statue dedicated to the world famous Lieutenant Pigeon (sorry it was back in the 70's - you may have to google it, especially if I leave you hanging by saying "mouldy old dough"). Good to have you back man:)
Some canals,like for instance the Kand A, if you can get your front in, then, gang plank at back, your sorted. Don't encourage the canals to be all lined, it will make the canals worse. Housing estates going up everywhere, it's getting worse, enjoy the rural, two or three foot away from the bank is ample for me.great vids keep em coming.
11.20 Hahahaha !! All the best Robbie ..got into trouble a few weeks ago , walking past last nights watering hole and made the "of the week" call ... got a few strange looks ..but then as you said on this ..folk can be a bit lacking in friendly fun .. Cheers mate.
Kitchen utensils. I got it. You're going to make films about clever cooking gadgets for daytime TV. No wonder you're happy, I would be too! Suspense over, phew...
Hi Robbie, pleased you enjoyed the ride on our boat. Would like to share some short footage with you. Hope your doing well, warmest regards Chris and Denise
Those shots of the Rochdale at the beginning were sheer sensory overload, I hope we get to see more! Also I've missed you (but I'm not going to bound around like a Labrador puppy, bit infradig).
Glad to see you are doing well. Just wanted to let you know that Last week Minimalist let out their inner Robbie Cumming by saying "Crank it", it was great but made me miss your videos.
I like the peak. I wear a baseball hat quite a lot mainly to keep the rain of my glasses but a cap may be a but more acceptable when going into the office.
Hi Robbie glad the new job / project is doing well. Let me know next time your around Stafford or Stone and we can have a beer, maybe i can get you to come on Stone Radio as well. Cheer's for now ; Brian aka Animal
Great to see you produce another masterpiece. Have you invested in a new Camera? Everything seems so much more detailed. I've got to say, England is beautiful in the all too brief summer, very green indeed. Anyway, already looking forward to the next vid, roll on whenever.... ;)
Ah cheers Harry! I don’t think so... It’s all on iPhone 8 plus, I’ve just made sure to clean the lense!! But actually I have also been given an XS to work with now and it the quality is noticeable

Thanks so much Sylvia yes it’s a dream come true, but has taken a huge adjustment hence the lack of videos on here! Thanks for your patience! 8^)
Love your stuff Robbie. The quality of your productions is amazing. Good to see you happy and positive.
Wow thanks Mark!

The only change I noticed, in the 50 odd years since, is that the banks of the Trent have got very overgrown with bushes now that all the fishermen have moved to small ponds.
You look like your old self again Robbie,very pleased for you and cant wait to see and hear more, keep cranking.
I'm so thankful for folks like you that film stuff like this. I am so fascinated with Narrow Boating and watch every video I can find on them. I'd love to move across the pond and live on a Narrow Boat! :)
thanks for a great video mee duck,hope one day our paths will cross.safe travels
Missed you Robbie! Thought my narrow boat days were over as you are the only one I'm subscribed to and watch. Good to have you back.
Wow thanks John that means a lot. 8^)

Sawley marina we went there when lookin for a boat it looks like a great marina from a current boaters perspective.
Good to see you again Robbie,AND looking well. All the best for your new adventure and projects.

Ha found I can click straight though to soundcloud from the description link! Without signing in! I’ll go listen. ✌️ Peace out
Ace! I’ve just uploaded a new one for ya...

I waited all that time to see my boat that's moored at Shardlow, bah! Good to see you mate.
You may yet see it as I started filming at Derwent lock but then again it’s not me editing the final cut... 🙊 already said too much
@@RobbieCumming I may well see you mate, I'm off on a mini cruise on Monday, I can't decide where tho!
So good to see you again. The Rochdale Canal looks beautiful. Did these people at the lock not realise how lucky they were to see you 😉? All the best with your new job 😊
Ha ha no hardly anyone knows me on the rivers which is kind of nice at times! 8^)
Robbie returns! At last, I thought you’d sunk without trace. Still loving the incidental music.
You sir, are a gent & a scholar!
Hope to bump into you on the cut someday🤗
So happy to see you
Good to see an update on your travels, especially that your heading oop north :-)
Really good to see the smile back..... and whatever you’re up to we wish you the bestest of luck 👌🤘🤞☀️😊👍
Thanks guys 8^)
Hi Robbie, Nice to see your doing well and the weather on the Rochdale is playing nice it's hell when it rains, But your in walking distance of the railway station and fish and chip shop. Going back in Littleborough can be hard there is lock just next to abandoned factory where there is no lock ladder
Ah sadly nana Pollards fish and chip shop is no more... really sad. Littleborough seems ok, good views and at least can moor right by the station.
Great to hear from you again Robbie. You heading down into manchester 👍
Great film making Robbie, we all love Todmorden ;)
So good to see you happy with life!
Cheers Steve! 8^)
Was getting a tad worried about you, Robbie!
Sooo good to see you again, with, yet again, a bloody brilliant vlog!
'Pub of the week' has also been sadly missed!😊

Congrats on the new job!
Hey Robbie, Great to see the new vid. Take care, and keep cranking!
Thanks George glad you’re still supporting thank you! 8^)
Can't wait for the "Big Rollout."
Amazingly beautiful canal views! You look happy. I'm happy for you, Robbie! ^_^
Thanks Esther! 8^)
Ooh you are a tease. Great vid fella 👍
Good luck with your new venture Robbie :-)
Hello, nice to see you again with a nice video, and a riddle about your new job, the research heads are on the way, lol
The music was excellent!
So good to hear thank you Karen!
Good to see you again pal
great to see you back m8
Welcome back from Seattle! Getting worried there, don't underestimate how valuable your work here is :-)
I never will thank you 8^)
Nice to see you back... Been missing your humour 😊
Nice to see you back filming a vlog, love the Hat.lol
Great update. Do u have any plans to do the Huddersfield broad/narrow canal and take on the Standedge Tunnel. If you do the Riverhead Brewery Tap in Marsden could well be a contender for pub of the week.
I’ve done it and can confirm you are correct! 8^)

Robbie Cumming glad you got through then, sounds a nightmare. are we likely to see it or was it part of the footage you lost a while back?
Love your vids..this one takes me right back to when no leaves were on trees a few months ago ? ;)
Glad to see you back now your leaving. Dang it. Beautiful countryside.❣❣
Well I’m always here in the comments Patty 8^)
Ah, poor lone bloke on a boat - you look like you're doing well on it! Looking forward to what's coming next. PS Lovely countryside - just the odd few chimneys in the background to remind you that the canals were originally industrial channels
Does the local tides affect the river flow speed?
Not at this point of the river. What’s happening (which I should have realised) is the river is narrower than it is upstream and that causes it to speed up

That was a green peaceful looking spot you were at in the beginning.
It is good to see that your black cat is doing well :-)
Great to see you in a ( happy place )
is all the music you playing on your albums
Fab and fab was lovely meeting you made my day sending hugs and best wishes xx
Cheers Tracey hope you’re ok! 8^)
Missed your laugh...glad you are back!
Welcome back mate . was getting worried..
About time Robbie, cant wait for the big reveal, does this mean you’ll get back to regular vlogs? As well as you big filming secret
Yeah sure, the two go hand in hand really 8^)
Robbie, love your videos. Hope your new job goes really well in God's own county, my own native Derbyshire. Keep up the good work me duck!
Can recommend the Leicester Grand Union as a destination. Plenty of potential Pubs of the Week (Blue Boar specifically)
Great thanks Chris I’ll definitely be ticking that off at some stage! 8^)
Looking forward to seeing this new project. Is bribery an option for more info : ) .
Ah so you know the Patreon system well?! Ha ha don’t worry you’ll find out soon! 8^)
Hi come to Reedley in burnley it is so nice.
Kitchen utensils. I got it. You're going to make films about clever cooking gadgets for daytime TV. No wonder you're happy, I would be too! Suspense over, phew...
That’s it, exactly! 8^)
Nice one robbie ..
Robbie, I should think if your wind is pushing you to one side you should review your diet immediately.
Hi Robbie, pleased you enjoyed the ride on our boat. Would like to share some short footage with you. Hope your doing well, warmest regards Chris and Denise
Ace I’ll send you an email! 8^)

Aw lovely!
Where did you get your cap please? I'd like a similar one.
Can't remember... think it was ebay?
I like the peak. I wear a baseball hat quite a lot mainly to keep the rain of my glasses but a cap may be a but more acceptable when going into the office.
Good to see you back. Great video. Beautiful setting. Last shot of the boat was masterful. Glad you are doing well. :)
Thank you Carolyn! 8^)
Is that anchor getting larger? Hope the future includes a pub of the week or two.
There will always be a pub of the week somewhere! Even if I’m not alowed to advertise pubs...🙊
Hey Robbie
Hope you’re ok?? Looking forward to seeing your next Vlog 😉
Thanks Sarah should be an announcement type one coming next week...🙈
Good to see you back Rob, cant wait for the reveal.................(are you a cameraman for a brewery? 😱) 😀👍. Cheers Nigel
Cor that sounds good! 🍺
Hi Robbie glad the new job / project is doing well. Let me know next time your around Stafford or Stone and we can have a beer, maybe i can get you to come on Stone Radio as well. Cheer's for now ; Brian aka Animal
Hey cheers Brian yes I’d love to do that, great to hear from you! 8^)
Great to see you produce another masterpiece. Have you invested in a new Camera? Everything seems so much more detailed. I've got to say, England is beautiful in the all too brief summer, very green indeed. Anyway, already looking forward to the next vid, roll on whenever.... ;)
Ah cheers Harry! I don’t think so... It’s all on iPhone 8 plus, I’ve just made sure to clean the lense!! But actually I have also been given an XS to work with now and it the quality is noticeable
