It's time to move the narrowboat on from Crick and I'm heading north up the Grand Union Leicester line to Kilby (via the always impressive Foxton locks). Once there I'll wait for some friends to join me for the next stage of this year's trip.

My late wife and I lived in South Kilworth and our boat was moored at Debdale wharf, and that was 20 years ago. Foxton was our home territory and all those familiar views brought tears to my eyes. Once you have owned a boat and cruised the system, it never leaves you, How I miss it now. Thank you for that trip down memory lane.

@rustybrazenfire 4 года назад

I started watching your vlogs last week and I have to say this has been rather a lovely, relaxing watch so far. Can't wait to be all caught up on the last few years. Thanks for sharing your journey!

@deltavee2 3 года назад

10:00 Throughout the series I have constantly been taken with the menus shown outside the eateries. Every time I see one I pause and read them in detail and I invariably want one of almost everything, sometimes two, especially if there is bacon involved. I am Canadian, after all. ;-D

@MichaelsMustang 4 года назад

When you consider those locks at Foxton we’re built in the early 1800s they really are a tribute to the engineers and the men that built them over 200 years ago. You made the right call as far as the graffiti it is a pretty good indication as to the locals. Here we have legal graffiti art walls and they are truly art but sadly any where the “tags” are (The vandalism on the bridge) is always a problem. Nice job picking up the rubbish too, another fantastic vlog.

@DDixon3121 7 лет назад

I am a sailor at heart but I enjoy watching your videos and learning about narrow boating in your fair country. Thanks for sharing.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Thanks for watching :-)

@4k8t 7 лет назад

Very good. You also highlight one of the things that are a part of cruising the cut - the locks - which gives one perspective on how much effort can be needed. It is too easy to think about just cruising along and not realize or appreciate or remember what is actually needed to do all that.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Thanks. Yes, it can be quite an effort but I take it slow and all's usually well!

@lindaforrester464 3 года назад

My great grand farther was the lock keeper at foxton locks my mum was born at the top lock house and there is a statue of him in the top lock house

@christopherlussenden3021 7 лет назад

That was a lovely vlog! I just said that aloud to my dog at 10.55pm in Australia.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Haha, I hope the dog agreed.

Another great armchair excursion so relaxing I am so locky to have you to do the job for me ! but I really would like to see it with my own eye one time in my life I is so beautifull

@isbcornbinder 7 лет назад

I appreciate your mater-of-fact presentation. I have subscribed. I was not aware of the canal system when I visited England, in 1971. Had I known, I may have never returned to Canada, that is if your country would allowed me to stay. I was visiting with a lovely family in Sheffield.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Time for another visit maybe! :-)

@WilminMKD 7 лет назад

Love the longer videos. Perfect time to relax with a brew!

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

More by accident than design! Sometimes there's just more to show in a particular segment of the journey... glad you like it though.

@kenpage1107 7 лет назад

Nice one Dave, Im still watching you and enjoying it, keep them coming, hope you have a great summer.cheers from Australia.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Thanks Ken - more soon!

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

@Zeemike1 7 лет назад

Those locks are quite the engineering project...and to think they were done long before the modern era. And I do so enjoy the country scenery that this vlog presents...please keep it coming.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

You'll like the next video even more then ... a "scenery special"!

@patrickbagnano1561 3 года назад

As a Yank who loves a good brew, I could never pass any of these pubs without going in for a pint.

@pesky-media 5 месяцев назад

Do you ever greet others traveling on the canal. ‘Good Mooring!’ 😊

@earlgreydionne1489 7 лет назад

Hi David, I know it's been said already, but that is one of your best videos yet! Even though the aerial was in the view. Those locks were so impressive. I was in awe of the engineering and how smoothly it all seemed to work. Bloody marvellous! Ok time for the Earl Grey and hope yo have a lovely sunny weekend. Take care x

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Thank you very much! Yes, put the kettle on :-)

@CallmeRogerRoger 7 лет назад

Well worth the wait. I'm living vicariously through your vlog. Try not to take the thumbs down votes personally. I don't understand them myself. You're is the best narrowboat blog on the net. Your professionalism shines through and you have a knack for making it an interesting ride. Cheers!

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

I think every RU-vidr gets some thumbs-down, I generally ignore them. RU-vid still rates a dislike as an "interaction" anyway and that ranks up the video in the search results!! Many thanks for your kind words.

@steelem422 5 лет назад

What an adventure kind of seeing the appeal......

@carmadham 7 лет назад

I really enjoyed that, it's like a different world on the cut.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

It is indeed!

@greenspiritarts 7 лет назад

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Thank you so much for making my week! Note on oil and grease control in fabrics and leather: keep a small amount of what American's call "cornstarch" and you call "corn flower" on board in a tightly sealed jar. It works best on light oil, like engine oil. Dab copious amounts of cornflower onto the oily bit and let sit overnight. Dust off in the morning, repeat if needed. Dawn is better for grease. They use it to clean wildlife that have the misfortune to meet oil spills. Fabulous video...thank you for making these.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Good tips, thank you. Glad you liked the video :-)

@greenspiritarts 7 лет назад

Opps... American auto-correct changed the spelling before I caught it... British product to look for in the baking section of grocery shop is called "corn flour" not "flower"...apologies.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Haha, I'll get it. Cheers

@debbiea6782 7 лет назад

One of my fav videos. So much beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing!

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

@Grumpyjoiner4043 3 года назад

Good job you didn't stop at the Graffiti bridge, your canal boat would have up on bricks and stripped clean🤣🤣. Actually a lovely spot.

@courierdog1941 3 года назад

You keep mentioning your aversion to the noise of Railways, here in Canada Most settlements occurred all along the Railway Lines. At one point we lived in a house that was less than 100 yards from a main North South line, woke up at 0600 by the North Bound train and wen to bed at 2200 with the South Bound train. Having lived in many different locations across Canada living next to a Railway is quite normal. And I might add from war time Steam Locomotives to the current super long containerized trains which are well in excess of a mile long it has changed a lot. Cheers

@CruisingTheCut 3 года назад

Actually I don’t mind the train noise at night, oddly enough. I find it rather reassuring.

@johnwalsh3635 7 лет назад

The best videos on youtube. As an exception, I always let the ads run full length!

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Thank you. It is definitely appreciated!

@bixrog 7 лет назад

hallo CtC. Nice to see foxton locks again. As a youngster I lived a few miles away in rutland on the welland valley and foxton was a regular sunday trip out on our pushbikes. I now live in germanland...have done now for nearly 50 years but when we go to rutland on holiday foxton is always a must....nearly every day..btw I am a subscriber of your channel and have watched nearly all your vlogs...always very interesting and informative....so please don´t stop making them.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

I don't plan to stop! Well, not for a while at least... Cheers

@stevecooney1361 7 лет назад

Glad to see your out and about enjoying the occasional fine weather

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

It was a terrific weekend!

@moondancer5115 7 лет назад

mine! mine! all mine! haha... the pastoral scenery is stunning...I bet it makes for some very relaxing moments...aside from working the locks and avoiding other boats. . . thanks for taking us along!

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Cheers Julie

@MrEroshan 7 лет назад

Beautiful country in that area. The statue you remarked about was commemorative of the canal workers that use to pull barges on the tow path.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

It puzzles me that it doesn't include a barge!

A lovely journey David - thank you. Superb film and commentary. Great to get help through the locks. Enjoy your well earned rest.

@ciaobella8963 7 лет назад

I really enjoyed this video. Your journey was fun to watch. I can see the hard work you put into going through some of those locks though. Absolutely gorgeous in the tranquil places on the canals. I'm like you a bit. I love the isolated rural places like that house on the hill. I live alone in an 800 year-old stone house in a remote village high in the hills of northern Tuscany. I can see the stars most nights and have become very used to the quiet and the comfort of fresh country air and lilting birdsong. It's easy to think in places like this, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Wow, your location sounds amazing! Glad you liked the video. Cheers.

@MrFQL 7 лет назад

Very nice. We will be doing Crick-Foxton in September after starting at Stockton. I will send this vlog to our Florida-based friend who will be joining us and is new to boating. We did our very first narrowboat adventure out of Market Harborough making Foxton the first ever locks for me. It is quite intimidating looking up as well as down. On that adventure we found the wonderful pub in Welford. We also went as far as Leicester and we know about the grease-stained clothes as a result. On the return journey we were taught double-locking with another boat by an experienced boater who was with us all the way back to Foxton. That trip got us hooked, but also keen to avoid double locks wherever possible. Thanks again for the very well produced episodes.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Thanks. If you scroll through my earlier videos I also did the stretch from Stockton to Yelvertoft last year. Sounds like you have it all in hand :-)

@adventureswithchristian6967 4 года назад

The lock systems are just amazing. I wish they had dates on all of them from when they were built. Thank you

@LaurelMeadows 7 лет назад

We love the little pub at the bottom of the Foxton Locks. We cruised as newbies in March '06 which was fantastic as there was little traffic and plenty of parking right in front! We parked across from the Moorings Pub and went into town for Pie Night on Mother's Day. Welford was our other night... What a fantastic week for us.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Sounds splendid and what great memories to have :-)

@AlexsWorkshopUK 4 месяца назад

Been really enjoying your videos over the past few weeks, was hoping to see Foxton Locks as I grew up around there with many happy childhood memories

I've been watching your vlog from the beginning and I greatly anticipate every one. So glad you got on in some sunshine even though it was a bit chilly. I'm sure filming yourself while trying to navigate is a difficult task. I am so glad you do it and we get to share in your wonderful life. Cheers!

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

I do often nearly crash into the bank while filming, yes!!! Cheers

@marianjacobs5597 7 лет назад

Thank you for another great post I always enjoy them.... I just wish there were just more people like you who are prepared to fish rubbish out of the Canal(s) it would make it more enjoyable for all who use them including the birds.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

I wish I could fish more but it's a bit hit and miss when you're trying to steer!!

@roykemp4941 7 лет назад

@saffronsworld1508 7 лет назад

I spent a couple of hours today watching videos of the insanity going on in the streets of Paris and Venezuela and other locations where people have gone mad and violence rules. I had to quickly rush over to your channel to recover my wits and be reassured that there is still tranquility and beauty to be found on this wayward planet. Looking forward to joining you on many more journeys as you cruise the cut.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

The world's gone berserk, I'm pleased to stick my head in the sand and pretend it's gone away :-(

@sarahrawson8549 7 лет назад

My Great Grandfather was part of the gang that built the inclined plane at Foxton Locks and was also the Lockhouse keeper at the Kibworth Lockhouse, so it was nice to see you going through that part.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Wow, what a great connection to have!

@sarahrawson8549 7 лет назад

I must admit, it's a great connection to have 😍

@lindaforrester464 3 года назад

Hi there my great grandfather was the lock keeper at the same time I bet they knew each other jack and ted cryer but its a great place to visit I do miss living in Leicestershire have you been to hallerton that's a beautiful village would love to know

@lindaforrester464 3 года назад

Did you ever go to kibworth youth club maybe before your times it was1970ees great discos then we used to go to the chip shop after then get the bus to market harborough great memories

@komerwest5872 4 года назад

May I say those locks are truly amazing. How I would love to be able to come over there and Cruse the locks in one of the countries my father and uncle fought for.

@andrewfyakim525 7 лет назад

I've watched all of your videos from the "giddy-up"... very enjoyable! I was fortunate enough to have visited the UK on 3 occasions; once to Stratford on Avon where we saw a lot of narrowboats. They are beautiful! I'm an avid boater here in eastern North Carolina and enjoy seeing any and all videos boating-related. The statue of the horse and person you mentioned in this video may have been how barges were moved through the canals before steam or motorboats/barges were used. Much like in the Erie Canal in New York, USA?.... My only suggestion would be to post more often; even things you may think are mundane would interest me. The countryside is beautiful and the little towns are too...

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Hi. Yes, the barges were horse-drawn but there's no barge in the statue, that's why I thought it odd. Doing these videos already takes quite long enough without doing more!!! :-)

@andrewfyakim525 7 лет назад

I'm sure it is a tremendous amount of work; I just want you to know that I enjoy them very much! Your format and content is relaxing and unique.

@luanncrownover4 7 лет назад

Lovely! Makes me yearn to see England again! Only been to the big cities of London and Windsor, but the countryside looks glorious!

@nanpritchard9487 7 лет назад

a cup of tea?? i think you deserve a G&T after all of those locks ... and thanks for the video of narrowboats passing in the tunnels...always looks as if they aren't going to fit but, of course, they always do...thanks for sharing...

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Tea, definitely. :-)

@keykeypr8292 7 лет назад

I started binge-watching your videos from the first one last summer after randomly happening across one on a RU-vid sidebar. I had just gotten caught up last fall when you went into "hibernation." I was impatiently waiting for you to start again this spring, and I am totally delighted with the latest ones. I too love the quiet scenes of British countryside. Spring there seems to be several weeks ahead of where I live in the mountains of Pennsylvania, USA. But 3000 feet in altitude does cool things off a bit. Love your understated, self-deprecating humor and enjoyed the steely-eyed captain heroically steering his boat onward. Keep up the good work.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Glad you like them but I didn't go into hibernation; there were new videos roughly weekly all through winter!

@keykeypr8292 7 лет назад

Oh yes, I gobbled them up also. Loved the Christmas cooking one especially. Still, they're not the same as traveling the canals. :-)

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

That Christmas meal was lovely :-)

I was indeed but it's probably because I'm a lazy weakling. I like your daughter's style!

@motoklaus8363 7 лет назад

We must have just passed each other. If you are still in Kilby, ask the Landlord of the pub for the guy with the motorcycle on the boat and he should probably remember me, I was there about two weeks ago. Have been following your vlog for a while and greatly enjoying it.

@tim040 7 лет назад

Hi,another nice vid,although the trip up to M.H is worth doing if you like kingfishers we counted 10 in the two hour trip ,very scenic,with a nice town at the end.When you get to Leicester the castle gardens moorings are nice and secure behind a locked gate and the park is locked off at night,however if it's a Friday Saturday night the pathway opposite the boat is used by students going to and from clubs,they are on other side ,of cut so still safe but annoying till 4am,if so carry on a bit further and ther is a pontoon to moor on,not as scenic and not as nice walk into town,if it was full you can always turn round all Along there.

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Hi. Thanks, yes I've already been through Leicester and did indeed stay at Castle Gardens - very pleasant! Cheers

@karlfair 7 лет назад

Another fine tour, thanks. A boat I used to serve on as relief captain was is named Ricky Lynn. The regular captain did a poor job at maintenance. The boat was always filthy. Whenever I had to work aboard her, I would put on a set of "Ricky Lynn clothes", so as not to the ruin in my good clothes. Perhaps you need a "working the locks jacket".

@CruisingTheCut 7 лет назад

Haha, I think you could well be right. Good idea.
