Regular viewers will know I have long had an interest in - some might say an obsession about - very short narrowboats on the British canals. The time had come for me to go and have a look around a couple and see if they are for me.

I tried out the term “bits and bobs” the other day. In Kentucky. Everyone froze and looked at me like I was an alien. 😂 As flexible as the English language is, some of it just doesn’t translate easily from British to American.

The "tiny house" version of the traditional narrowboat. I could see this being perfect for someone who wants to "try out" narrowboating for an extended holiday. And may I say "thank you"? Your videos helped me maintain some semblance of sanity during the extended COVID lockdown.

I love these small boats. I often wonder what the smallest boat is that I could live on. After all, I could easily live in a small touring caravan so even some of these smaller boats are nearly double the length of a small caravan. I lived in a 14ft touring caravan for about a year whilst I saved for a static caravan and those were some of my most happy memories.

Loved this vid... especially the part where Bramble's essentially doing the narrowboat equivalent of 'doing donuts.' I can almost hear him now going "neener neener neener, you can't do this" to the longer narrowboats. :D And best of luck to all those working on getting Miss Tadpole up and running! She has the potential to be quite the lovely little hideaway when it's all said and done.

Bravo to these guys for saving history and enjoying the water , we live in Australia I'm originally from England Weatherby as a child of four with my parents explored the country locks , just before emigration to Australia, those images have stayed with me, the thought of living on the water, my family of 4 now live aboard a 40 foot pilot cutter, have for 8 years our youngest has lived on the water since birth he is now 8 , and now that our boys are growing we have added another yacht to our collection for extra space with them rafted up ,she is a 31 foot Schooner built of Australian hardwood in the 60s, in a few years maybe a little more we plan to sail our wooden Schooner back to England and see these wonderful old long short boats, and the many historical boats there are , great job guys let there be more of it aye! .

Excellent episode David. It's almost as if you're narrow "mini" boating vicariously 😂😂😂😂 Plus the boats "looked" like boats as it were ... have been on some of the latest hire boats and they're more like an apartment what with "fourb poster" beds, hidden "mood" lighting, sound systems, wide screen TVs, vast walk in "community" showers and galley big enough to cater for the five thousand up the hill sort of thing. Not so much a boat but more of a nod to a "gin palace". These boats much more "boaty mc-home face". Luckily the second boat owner works in theatre ... techie mates to sort the lecky and scene painters to paint just about "any scene from any play going". I'd do it!
