In this episode onboard our LIVE ABOARD NARROWBOAT we venture onto the PADDINGTON ARM of the Grand Union canal and experience drama!
We had heard lots of stories about the rubbish in the water and the problems it can cause to the boat, we keep our fingers crossed it doesn’t affect us.. Keep watching to find out. We sadly had to make use of a trusty boat tool we hadn’t used since our cruising days on the FRENCH INLAND WATERWAYS.
Life on board our TINY FLOATING HOME brings constant surprises! We realise that BOAT LIFE in CENTRAL LONDON can be challenging and is a very different LIFESTYLE than the RURAL CANAL NETWORK we have got used to.
Season 1 | Episode 35
We are Jackie & Michael and we travel the British waterways network on our 57ft narrowboat Border Reiver. Join us each week for our latest adventures as we explore the UK.
We hope you enjoy our videos. Please remember to subscribe, you will be notified when we release each new video. We love reading all your comments so please do leaves us a comment, we answer each one.
Thanks for watching xx

I am now addicted to canal life! It's interesting how economics affects homes on water just like land. People find a way to make shelter. Thank goodness!

In Ky., U.S.A., we have River Sweep events, where there i are community/industry sponsored events, annually, with grilled sandwiches, other food, , giveaways, and teams of volunteers sweeping up all the plastic junk that gets onto the shores along with the beatiful driftwood, and makes it so ugly while it's there. Flooding brings in the horrendous amounts of plastic and it's removed best as they can do. The Ohio River runs from PA to the Mississippi River. It's huge, deep and treacherous, but loved. Tug Boats and Tow Boats, some ocean ready, come through daily.

This is where i had my boat 22ft Freeman, at the Willow tree marina....your lucky it was just a plastic bag. I had a lot of clothing round my screw once and had to find a shallow bit and wade in and cut it off, the manager of the marina told me that many religions sprinkle the ashes of the departed and throw their belongings in rivers, and the canal is their nearest water. Happy memories of my late brother and I traveling down to Tescos at bulls Bridge and the pubs at cowley lock and little Venice, Always liked going over the aqueduct at the north circular seeing the poor sods in the traffic, the weed is bad as there is little or no movement in the water, miles and miles of no locks till Camden. Thanks for posting a lovely reminis. 😍

Hi Paul. So good that you were able to see your old stomping ground on our vids. Wonder if it’s changed much? Don’t like the idea of ashes being sprinkled in the canal.. I had my hands in there! I did scrub them the very moment I took them from the water but still… Take care Paul. 👍❤️

That is awesome and a first, we've never been told that a cat loves watching us cruise!! Maybe because your cat knows you are chilled and relaxed and wants to cuddle up?? Great idea but don't think it would help, you'd be amazed at the sort of things you get stuck on there. Love you comments.

@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882
Got a bow thruster on my Heron, but never use it, I get why people use them, but strangely I like a challenge when it gets a bit tricky. Plastic is a pet hate of mine too, when I have a job to do, we always do a litter pick, before and after our works, always like to leave a place better than I found it, or at least try. Ha! That dredging tug looked like it was from the Rothen Group, based where I am on the Coventry. Wow, the last time I was on the Ashby, I pulled an entire dog blanket free of my prop shaft! It took about an hour as I recall? Nightmare! Seen I boat get caught out on the T&M, rope had to be cut by quick thinking. It didn’t help that the guy who ran in to difficulty was more than slightly inebriated! The Paddington Arm does look nice. I was on Regent Street at Camden on a rail bridge job in December on nights and on New Year’s Day spent it commissioning some of the structure works, with the boats doubled up and ‘on top of each other’, I thought, London ain’t for me, particularly on the canal, But that said, I’d love to pass through it, (London that is) but if you like the Grand Union, go up to the midlands area … fantastic. Great vlog, keep it up.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment. You make some really good observations about a variety of things. The plastic on the Paddington arm was ridiculous! Even the floating plastic was horrendous let alone what was lurking under the water! Stay tuned for next week as we have even more problems with our propellor and plastic! Thanks again. 👍❤️

During our Narrowboating years we never hardly opened the weed hatch , but had a long poled boat hook which ripped rubbish off the prop in minutes, could often reach over the side and clear the odd plastic bag without pulling over to . .

The Paddington Arm doesn't go to central London, only as far as Little Venice. The Regents Canal goes on to more inner, but not central, areas of London. Camden Lock or Islington round the Angel is as close to central as it gets. If your engine drove wheels (which I'm glad it doesn't) you would still be avoiding the Congestion Charge Zone, which is a fair definition of central London. The WC and EC postcodes would be another, but the canals don't go there, either.
