019 WOOLHAMPTON TO NEWBURY ON OUR NARROWBOAT 

We had great weather, but it did rain every single day during our entire visit, out with the rain coat put it on, within 30 minutes bright sunny, glorious weather, walk another few miles, rain, another mile, bright sunny and so on and so on. Here at home in Alberta, it is bright, or overcast winter or summer, it is a place of extreme weather, Terrible Bad, Terrible Good no in-between. the weather in England reminded me of Nova Scotia. Enjoy everything you have now, while you can, give George a big hug.

Newbury is a lovely place

Looks like George is getting you two fit , better than a personal trainer ..

Welcome to Blighty.

Great vid the good old British weather. I have now put a deposit on a boat and waiting for the survey to be done so its all starting to happen.

Beautiful!!! My Mother actually set up a table next to Newbury locks in 1972 and got signatures for a petion to halt ramshackle building proposals for "Next to the River"buildings. Hence forth a society was set up in Newbury that gave thought and conscoiusness to this topic.

Awesome to See your solar panels....very neat installation ...looks good looking forward to the Video on the install ect :-)

“I think I’ll probably walk it all” Prophetic statement right there...

Welcome to the k & a that's why I left 3 years ago good luck most people I have met that has done that canal won't go back

It was good to see swing bridges with landing stages on the pivot side as it appears that normally the landing stage is on the opposite bank making it impossible for solo boaters. Best wishes and thanks for posing your videos.

Drumheller, now that is a desolate place, I worked for the Telephone company as an Engineer and have been to virtually every Central Office in Alberta. So this is where your programming comes in, commercials.

Hope you've managed to fill your watertank by now, and that the hair-wash was finally possible. The only crewmember of "Perseverance" that didn't seem to mind the traditional English rainy weather was George, he looks happy wherever he is.

Glad to see your better after the fall 👍

Best weather for boating as there will be no day hire muppets out lol

Enjoyed the update. Hope you are feeling much better! Solar panels look great.

Good update. Liked the folky/banjo groove going on in this vid too. What's it called? Keep 'em coming

Four notes: 1. First it's Ducks, now Coots! Where will this end? 2. Ouch, Sorry 3. (NOA) Nitrous Oxide Anonymous Meetings. Don't rule them out. 4. Like maps, lots.

Thank you for these videos. You make them interesting and entertaining. If you have time for a question I'd be interested in finding out how you receive training to pilot a narrowboat. Thinking of having a holiday in the UK and this seems ideal.

Looking forward to the solar set up video as I'm close to investing in one myself....I'm guessing you've opted for about 500w.... :)

Dry shampoo is good for emergency situations!

Are you going to be on your boat in the Winter? Looks like the old #Depression is starting to set in :-(

Well I'll guess we'll know as a certain somebodies hair will obvious look like that rather unexpected scene from 'There's Something About Mary' ...

Jo, what make is your coat?

You don't need to waste water washing your hair! Leave it another couple of weeks and it'll settle down :) Great vlog as usual guys :) £10 seems a bit steep for water! You didn't ask for 120 litres of Perrier did you? If you'd bought diesel, would you have got the water for free? Also, I thought the Shroppie was narrow in places, but the K&A seem to be challenging that! The turf sided lock looked really interesting. Must get to see that in person :). Do you have a stainless steel water tank? We do, and I never see any brown water coming up no matter how low the water gets. Oh, and how does the level crossing go Michael? It made me laugh so much I replayed it, and the lean away from the naughty boat, several times!

just in case its useful to you. i am "passing" next weekend. and can drop you in any special tools i may have that you need. MC4 crimp. lug terminal crimp.

Do you have cratch covers?

Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink, that is if your prepared to part with a tenner TFB. They should treat you both like royalty, after all you are giving them a free plug on your chanel. Oh what was that in the water at 8:30, looked too big for a George??.

Name and shame

yucky whether never mind soon have your solar panels on free electric yay, £10 for water what a cheek.

Plus no diesel anymore at Newbury boat services nearest now is Aldermarston boo hoo
