Hi just found your Chanel on you tube just love watching you both love your boat and love it when you give us the information where you are and what you are seeking and doing keep up the good work my heart went out to you when I saw what happened to your lovely boat when you went though the Huddersfield Narrows

@ournarrowboatquest4894 2 года назад

Thanks Marlene. Not sure why but loads of unanswered questions have just appeared. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

@motorhomenarrowboat1 5 лет назад

That looked like hard work very big locks. Nice video. Thanks again for sharing.

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Thomas James Tannian Thank you for commenting Thomas, it was jolly hard work and very slow going on the locks with the spike.

Flip what a mission with that 2 X 4! Nice little whoops by Eileen there at the end.

@ournarrowboatquest4894 4 года назад

😂🤣😂, it certainly was Norman, it made those locks hard work! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

@annie2950 5 лет назад

Great vlogs Guys such huge locks well done Pat.

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Annie Thanks Annie, Pat didn’t have a choice as I was unable to move the lock mechanism with the spike. Lol x

@enigma357 5 лет назад

Really interesting to see how the Calder Spike is used, we've not come across a lock that needed one before.

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Enigma Thanks for your comment, as far as I am aware I think that the use of the spike is unique to the the Calder and Hebble locks. It was certainly very time consuming, it took as ages to get through them, not that we were in hurry. 😆 Also there was a few that I was unable to manage which was why Pat did them. X

@narrowboatmum165 5 лет назад

Just found your channel and subscribed. Hope to make our way up north someday we are currently on the Oxford. Great videos 😊

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Narrowboat Mum Hey, welcome aboard. It’s lovely to share our journey with you. We bought our boat in the North so we are making our way down south albeit a little slowly. 😁

@carolrayfield2275 5 лет назад

Hey you two, you sure are working hard on your journey, bet you were jiggered after that lock pat, And well done Eileen ,your handling of the boat is as pat said “perfection “. So enjoying seeing your adventures from the comfort of my armchair , thanks for sharing .☺️ xx Ps . you still got that lettuce?

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Carol rayfield Thanks Carol, we were both jiggered, we had three long days travelling and the locks were hard work. My handling of the boat is improving though. And no, we haven’t got the lettuce any more!! Lol xx

@villaridge 4 года назад

wow, I have seen over 300 vids my narrowboaters i figure, and this is the first video where I have seen locks where you raise/lower the gates with what we call in America, a 2x4 piece of lumber

@ournarrowboatquest4894 4 года назад

Hi Peter, it is basically a price of 2x4 timber, and those locks were jolly hard work. Hope you enjoyed the journey, thanks for watching and commenting!👍

@FoxesAfloat 5 лет назад

Hey! Great vlog sailing right through the middle of our stomping ground 👍🏻 Where did you get your Calder Spike from?

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Foxes Afloat Thanks Foxes, it was great to see you at Kings Road. We got our spike from Stanley Ferry. Xx

@marksanderson5664 3 года назад

Really enjoyed watching that. I am buying a boat from Thorne near Doncaster and will be following your route back towards the Macclesfield canal. I wondered what the length of your boat is and if you continued onto the Rochdale canal without any issues in the short locks?

@ournarrowboatquest4894 3 года назад

Hi Mark, thanks for watching and commenting!👍. Our boat is 57 feet and we continued onto the Rochdale Canal and headed to Manchester completing the Rochdale 9 locks. We had no issues with the length of the boat. 👍

@suee6835 5 лет назад

Hi Foxes Afloat. You can buy spikes from Shire Cruiser, Sowerby Bridge.

@llessibm 5 лет назад

That's one heck of a windlass - did you have to provide your own bit of 3 by 2 ?

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Martin Bissell Hi Martin, yes we had to buy that from a chandlery, it’s a Calder Spike and no other locks on the system have that type of mechanism. You can get away with a piece of 3x2 from a DIY store or fencer but it would not have been shaped and would therefore have been more awkward to use

@dalejones4184 5 лет назад

Hello, what is the microphone system you are using please? Dale on nb Bunnies Warren

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Dale Jones Thanks for commenting Dale, the microphone system is a Tascam, not sure of the number and we are currently not on the boat so will check when we get back and post it here.

@dalejones4184 5 лет назад

Thank you! Love the videos by the way!

@californiancondor6860 4 года назад

Love your vlogs but suggest that when going through a lock you just show us the name of the lock you are going through so we can follow your journey on google earth.

@ournarrowboatquest4894 4 года назад

Thank you, glad you are enjoying our journey, I think we do name some of the locks but I must admit we don’t always. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

@borderreiver3288 3 года назад

never seen a paddle opened that way with a length of wood....a bit slow ....

@ournarrowboatquest4894 3 года назад

It certainly was and hard work! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

@amiducour 5 лет назад

This isn't really a vlog 4it's just a series of videos with no indication where you are at any given time, with very annoying music

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Eric Jackson - You are entitled to your opinion, is there any of our videos that you do like?

@amiducour 5 лет назад

@@ournarrowboatquest4894 I like them all, I just wish there was a commentary instead of that irritating musac

@ournarrowboatquest4894 5 лет назад

Sadly w can’t please everyone all of the time, for every person that dislikes the music there is another that likes it. We do try to do a bit of both. 🤔
