Think you very brave to go on the river it seems dangerous to me I think on the whole the canal is safer thanks for the vlog you make us smile tc 👍😉Ann n David
Hello Ann and David. They can be dangerous. It's my favourite, cruising on the rivers. I'm cruising the river Ouse now. Wonderful time of year. Stay tuned..
The acid tank location is actually the site of a modern electric power station. It replaces a huge 8 chimney monolithic coal fired power station with two huge water cooling towers, all now demolished. Hence the electric transmission towers and cables in that area and that long loading berth was where coal was delivered by barge from the Wakefield area. That double lock often overspills. If you get the paddle sequence wrong it will flood. It did it to me once when I was following a boat up. The boat in front hadn't closed the paddle properly. The place where you stopped at the end of the vlog is close to the Dewsbury Arm of the canal. A short 300 m dead end leading to a wharf where there is a very interesting pub called The Leggers. Converted from canal horse stables and hayloft. Worth the diversion as they do food and good real ale.
Hi Will A nice bit of Lock management in there great Vlog looks like you’re really having fun happy days I thought I heard Josh moaning but it was you😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
Those locks are a funny design. If you like balls then that's the canal to collect them. I watched Josh having a good old moan. Bless him. We get those days us boaters. Moan moan moan...😆😆🤣🤣 Cheers for watching Thomas
Vent Solution: A metal shot glass turned upside down. Drill holes in the rim of the metal cup. Use wire to stays at the drill points. The tank still vents as holes are on side. The cup merely prevents blow back. Test this by placing a shot glass over your finger.
That's a great idea. I've found an actual vent that stops water. It's black plastic and I love polishing my brass but I'm willing to forfeit that brass vent for a proper designed one. They're £10.99 on flee bay so that means £300 in a chandlers. Ha ha Cheers David
Looks very dreary and grey round those parts but i suppose the weather can do that. Its a shame about the litter everywhere, a lot of it gets washed up onto the banks when it floods. Thanks again Will. 👍
Hello Janice. It was dreary weather. Cold. Like you say alot of rubbish comes from storms and Floods. Still cold now at the end of April. Brrr. Take care.
I've got it This time I've really got it. A tennis ball. Cut a slit in a tennis ball just big enough to squeeze it over the fuel vent for a snug fit.. It Will still breath, but it should hold on tight enough to not come off in a water deluge. And it will still allow you to tie off. AND and if you loose it, you can always find another along the towpath or floating in the cut. CCHHEERRSSSSS
Nice one Will corbels that’s the word ya looking for the bits on that bridge wether don’t look to clever down here in Bournemouth it’s been sunny for weeks now .i miss the snow in winter but I hated it when I lived up there mad init have you sorted ya valve yet .Cheers Will staysafe dude big up the tiller man 🔧🙂🦢✌️
Hello Lee. It's sunny but cold up here. Bournemouth was great for being warmer. I've found a valve that's designed to stop water getting in. It should bolt straight on. Tenner. Bargain. I just need to find a chandler's now that sells them. I don't miss Bournemouth. It became to busy to get any where. Cheers
Hi Will, how about as a quick fix for the vent, cutting the top off a 2lt pop bottle and putting it over the vent. You could just put it on in the locks and then take it off again.
another great vlog , i think it's about time they did abit more dredging on those canals & rivers , when you go back to your van , do walk back , or cycle back ? .
I cycle and walk or get a bus. I enjoy it. The canals now are much deeper but there is shallow bits so I still have to be careful Lori. Have a great evening or morning afternoon wherever you are. Cheers
You crack me up. When you put messages on the screen, good stuff. Question. When you use the hand crank before you open the lock, what's that tool in your hand for? It's probably a stupid question, I know. Cheers mate
Enjoy the vlog Aciiiiiiiddd 🤣🤣 that was funny. I couldn’t remember where that was. Wakefield area is big but really didn’t recognise it lol. The river’s do seam harder work but they look lovely to cruse down. Have you reached York? Enjoy
@@NarrowboatWill I find as I get older will. Her sayings have more and more truth to them. Cheers i hope you are seeing spring across the pond. Starting to green up here.
I went to a dentist's last year it's not easy finding one that I can book because they want registered patients only you know. I haven't used the docs yet so I believe I can register anywhere...Cheers for the questions.
There once was a man called will Who had a fear of the sill He traveled around by canal The locks he done so well But he did moan And he did groan Holding onto his tiller Moans about his water tank breather Not forgetting his van that is blue He parks it up ahead that’s what he do He peddles back down the towpath Not moaning today your having a laugh
Narrowboat will narrowboat will having a moan again, moaning will moaning will with his band of merry men, feared by the bad loved by the iLL narrowboat will narrowboat will narrowboat willllllllll. Go on sing it to the tune of Robin Hood 😂😂

Your musings and historical commentary are gold. I am also learning new words, e.g. “plonker.”
Ha ha that's a great word. That's a posh word for f word idiot ..ha ha
We laugh all the time watching you. You’re the best! Hahahha x
Ahhh bless. Thankyou for watching guys.

That's good info because I walked down that arm and filmed it. I will mention that Harry. Cheers..
A lovely vlog Will. Thanks mate, take care.
You're very welcome Phillip..

@@NarrowboatWill a moan a day keeps the doctors away 😂😂😂
Did a course (narrowboating) yesterday Will - my brain was surely frazzled by the end of the day with all that 'concentration' 😆
Good on you Lloyd. It's not as easy as people think. Trouble is I suffer from not concentrating. Ha ha
Hi thanks for your help in york to help pull the boat in 🙏👍
Hello Trevor. My pleasure buddy. Lovely boat. Safe journey..
Lovely cruise. You’re so calm when things don’t go right. Huge admiration. Best wishes.
Ha ha I'm calm on the outside but inside I'm dancing on fire...Cheers Trevor. Made me smile..

That's a great idea. There always loads of balls about. I can get a proper fuel vent cap that's designed to stop water getting in. Stay tuned.
Tripping on your boat 😀
Nice...

@@NarrowboatWill That is a bargain Will 🔧🔧
Love rivers in the summer not the winter.My favourites are the Avon (Warwickshire)and the Soar.
I did the Avon last year. What a treat that was. I always make my way to rivers in summer Tony. Much more remote and quite. Love um.

Yeah that makes sense. Good one thankyou

It's called a windless. Don't know why. I usually stuff it on my trouser belt loop. Cheers Robert

Have you reached York? Enjoy
I'm near Ripon already. York was busy so I moved on. Sooo peaceful on the river. Stunning area. Thanks Caroline..
@@NarrowboatWill Ripon is beautiful and easy to walk into town enjoy.
My gran always said there is alot of wasted worry in the world will. Cheers
She was right. People spend to much time worrying about tomorrow and regrets from the past and miss the moment..
@@NarrowboatWill I find as I get older will. Her sayings have more and more truth to them. Cheers i hope you are seeing spring across the pond. Starting to green up here.
I live nearly Stanley Ferry. And there is a tip at Wakefield side of River.
Ahhh that's the bin juice smell is it? Nice...Not ha ha
Another beauty Will. I love your crazy commentary. Btw, if you need doctor or dentist, where do you go? I hope you get the vent sorted. Cheers.
I went to a dentist's last year it's not easy finding one that I can book because they want registered patients only you know. I haven't used the docs yet so I believe I can register anywhere...Cheers for the questions.
good vid on cut will thanks lee
You're very welcome Lee
I will
Will you?
@@NarrowboatWill didn’t realise that got posted it was meant to say Hi Will 👍👍
lots of leaking and loads of wind?? but no crashes you are getting really good at this now..lol
Ha ha ha cheers Dougie. Sort of getting the hang of things..
Question what’s the best cannel you have been on? Also what the longest?
Best canal would be the Llangollen. Lovely scenery. The longest is the Grand Union canal137 miles. Take care..
There once was a man called will
Who had a fear of the sill
He traveled around by canal
The locks he done so well
But he did moan
And he did groan
Holding onto his tiller
Moans about his water tank breather
Not forgetting his van that is blue
He parks it up ahead that’s what he do
He peddles back down the towpath
Not moaning today your having a laugh
Ha ha ha brilliant Lewis
HiWill.
Hello Kat. I bet you were up for this one..ha
Shame theres so much litter in parts of england.
I know. It's usually next to a wall where cars park or people pass. Just throw it over. Really annoys me.
@@NarrowboatWill imagine what their homes and gardens must be like.
@@malinhead8468 probably spotless
bills na mate,I'm betting they're like shitholes
I just stick me clothes in the shower and use me feet to clean them while I shower
Ha ha ha makes sense saves time and water. Cheers
