Hi Guys
Welcome to our latest episode in our ADVENTURES in our TINY FLOATING HOME.
In this weeks video we experience how the weather can effect CRUISING onboard BORDER REIVER and for our CRUISING plans to changed our OFF GRID LIFESTYLE in an instance!! Rising water levels cause FLOODING as we venture from the safety of CANALS to rivers. Join us to see how we cope with these latest challenges. We also learn about Flux Capacitors from the film Back to the Future!!
We hope you enjoy a look at our ADVENTURING LIFESTYLE xx
Season 1 | Episode 58
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.

Hi guys, the house is a cruck frame medieval form of construction. Great vlog stay safe. Regards Brad.

Hi Brad. Ah.. thanks for the knowledge. It was really interesting to see that type of structure. We’ll look into cruck framed houses a bit more now. Thanks 👍❤️

Yes, it is a cruck house and these are part of the main structure of the house. Originally the ridge of the roof would have been where the apex of the crutch frame is but it has been extended upwards at some time to give higher 1st floor.

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Wow Tim that you so much for letting us know that, it was so interesting to see. Such an unusual house, what date did they build them like that?? Thanks for taking the time to message us.

Measuring the water level changes was such a good idea - not sure you could eyeball those kind of changes otherwise

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi again Katherine, great to see you are watching our other waterways adventures. Yes we used this measurement method when we were in France and a river flooded overnight, we had to get up every 1/2hr to check it. It got within 2 inches of coming over the top, we were the only people on boats in the marina on that night, it was very scary. The marina manager had put us in charge of checking... LOL. So we are well versed at it. x

Could be wrong but if your boat has say a 2’-4” draft there’s no chance of rising onto the bank. ? 😉

A few words of advice, please put a sign up in your boat saying Wellies are banned on this boat! Most dangerous things to wear around water. If you fall in they will fill with water instantly and take you to the bottom! I know most of the canals are shallow water but....... Please put up with the mud and wet feet!

Davy, we’re with you on the wellies thing… can walk or run in the so no good for Jac anyway. Wet feet are 👍👍. Thanks for the advice and dropping us a lovely comment 😀

Our boat is one of the long term moored boats you passed before you went under the low bridge, you were extremely lucky to come away unscathed, once the water levels start rising and the river starts flowing, it is extremely dangerous to move on that section of river.

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi Ricky wow that is so good to know we did see them all and realised as we passed by you were all long term moorers. It was so tricky and yes we realise we were lucky. Thankfully we could moor up safely. Thank you so much for commenting. Happy cruising on the River Soar.

Hi Shirley. The Soar is notorious for flooding apparently. The footage it from a couple of months ago as we film so much it’s hard to stay live sometimes as we don’t want to not show most of the things we film. It gets even wetter next week and we are forced to abandon ship as it were! Take care Shirley 👍❤️

@alanhodgson8443 Год назад

When you get to the River Trent, assuming your are turning left you will go through the two locks by Swales Marina, a short distance on and the River Derwent enters from your right, with all the rain we have been enjoying the flow on the Derwent will be quite strong and force you over to the left, keep as far right as you can as on the left is a large wall that you will otherwise head into, the scary thing is your boat will possibly start to lean over due to the strong water flow. Safe journey.

@jameswalsh8593 Год назад

Dancing on a bollard to avoid wet feet was a dangerous stunt that could have ended badly. I am retired & writing this from a narrowoat. I last cruised the Soar in 83, have my helmsmans certificate & several years experience cruising the inland waterways. But.......... A few weeks ago I got it wrong at a lock. Perhaps because I had covered nearly 30 miles & 25 locks within a couple of days travelling from dawn till it was too dark to continue in order to get to my destination asap as I had other business to take care of. I was very tired & a couple of locks shy of my destination. I sustained serious head & chest injuries before ending up in the water. A couple on another boat threw me a lifering (as I chose not to wear a lifejacket) then they pulled me out. Lucky they were there as I was solo. I made it to a marina where they patched me up & called an ambulance. Injuries were so bad that Doctors wanted to admit me for 7 days. But I declined & left after the cat scans & glueing of the head wounds & morphine. I won't be so arrogant in future. If it can happen to me it can happen to anyone. Only takes a seconds loss of concentration, or that little risk to avoid wet feet or a boat floating away, which can be recovered anyway. Take care & stay safe

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

James hi and wow what a story and yes we very much agree and our philosophy is always stay safe. Thank you so much for your concern 💕 it means a lot to us. We both hope you are fully recovered from your incident. We will heed your comments of course. You take care x

Very exciting to watch, but scary/stressful to be in. When I was visiting Oxford, about ten years ago, I remember major river flooding then. I can't quite remember time period. Protecting your floating home and investment at all costs. Does England have a warning system for canal/rivers or you see it in real time? I love Michael with the measuring tape.❤

Yes there are warnings on sections where the canal meeting rivers often, but nothing on this section hence why we did what we did. The Environment Agency do have an online warning system we also use. Ah ah yea the measuring tape was something we used in France in a similar situation it’s a good idea and helps to make decisions where necessary. 👍

To answer you question in regards to the fictional flux capacitor its main purpose was to turn 1.21 gigawatts of energy in to 1.210 million gigawatts once the Delorean reached 88mph interestingly the reason the Delorean was supposed to time travel at 88mph was because that was the cars top speed , also interesting geeky fact the Delorean didn't have anywhere you could feed spacial co ordinates into the time machine which would have meant they would only have been able to time travel within that exact spot

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Wow Nathan what a mind of information you are. We had no idea that little plaque would warrant so many comments. Thank you.

@christopherwright9437 Год назад

I’m pretty sure the blue plaque for Dr. Emmet Brown is a pretence! He’s a fictional character!

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi Christopher. You may be right about the plaque. It was funny though so we decided to film it. 👍❤️

Good Day Michael & Jackie You have sure got into the bad weather, same where i live down south, not that i am on a boat. apparently it is going to last about 7 days on & off. It looks a lovely place were you are at the moment. Question. do they some times open the locks to balance out the water level? as it looks like you are on a river section, obviously this would be were there is no weir section running it off? Keep safe & good traveling on your journey if your still going towards Leeds.

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi and good day to you too 💕. Tricky time of year and slightly unexpected we think! The CRT have a water management team who work to keep the levels good. They will often add water to the system…. Like turning a tap on and it pushes water down the network through a series of bywashes. Tricky job we are sure. Thanks for you comment. Stay dry and let’s hope the ☀️ shines soon. J & M

@aerotro Год назад

Michael and Jackie just a heads up Cows don't have horns only male bulls have horns ! when I was 8 years old in 1967 I lived next to a farm, once got chased through a field by a large bull so learnt my lesson the hard way lol

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I guess we called the male cow a cow and should have called it a bull. Just a slip of the tongue I guess but it looked pretty scary anyway! Take care 👍❤️

@1Polglen Год назад

Haha female and male cattle can have horns. A steer(neuted bull) or bull have a tassel hanging from the middle of their bellies Females have hudders, hanging between their back legs.

@1Polglen Год назад

Oops my keyboard locked, surprised it uploaded. Bulls have balls between their hind legs. Or as my great grandmother said. Well turn it around, let me see the business end. (The reason, a good fertile bull has big balls)

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

@virginiakirkupscrolltoto7794 Год назад

Do you not have wellies ?

@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 Год назад

I guess, if you want to drown, it’s not usually a good choice for a boater ….😉

@michealpercy1741 Год назад

In the RYA Inland waterways handbook it advises NOT to wear Wellington boots.

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi 👋 thanks for you comment. We don’t have wellies, there not great for walking in and Jac does run often between locks to get her exercise so they would be impossible to run in 🫣. We both wear goretex trainers in wet weather 😀

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

No very tricky 🙏for the comment. Speaking from experience maybe? 💕

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi Michael yes agree would be very tricky to wear and cumbersome at locks. Maybe in floods they are good but not your everyday footwear we find. Thanks 🙏🙏

@davidbassett4577 Год назад

That blue plaque for Dr Emmett Brown has got me puzzled .. because both him & the “Flux Capacitor” are figments of Hollywood fiction.. and are from The Back to the Future trilogy of films! Doc Brown (played in the film by Christopher Lloyd) invents a Time Machine fuelled by the Flux Capacitor and builds it into a DeLorean Sports Car!! First film made in 1985 .. Pt 2 & 3 were filmed back to back in 1989 .. when I visited Universal Studios in LA that year .. they were filming these.. sadly didn’t get to see anything as they were closed sets! In pt 2 .. Doc gets trapped back in the late 1800’s and has to re-invent it all again .. this time using a Steam locomotive! The fictional background of Doc Brown is that his family originated from Germany .. so no idea why that plaque is doing in the UK!

@cruisingontheborder Год назад

Hi again David We guessed the plaque was a spoof but it was funny non the less.. so we decided to film it. I was flummoxed by the flux! Anyway David its back to the future for us! 👍❤️
