Hi Guys
Welcome to our latest episode in our ADVENTURES in our TINY FLOATING HOME.
This week Michael explains in a little more detail about our ‘threatening’ experience of the previous episode on our NARROWBOAT and we discuss why we didn’t record any footage of the incident.
We show a different side of Loughborough before leaving for our onwards cruise north towards the Trent & Mersey canal. We moor in a beautiful location for lunch and end up mooring underneath a flight path but then have some great banter with each other as we tackle the after affects of some unwanted HITCH HIKERS - just one of the PERILS of our LIVE ABOARD LIFESTYLE!!!
We hope you enjoy a look at our ADVENTURING LIFESTYLE xx
Season 2 | Episode 60
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

Years ago I was on the London underground, District line. The train stopped at Earl's Court. Doors slid open, and two pigeons hopped aboard. These two birds pecked and shimmied their way along the carriage floor, around the legs of the passengers. I think they hopped off two stops later at South Kensington.

I've seen that on the Underground as well. Having watched a pigeon try five times to walk across the road before giving up and flying across, I came to the conclusion they are too lazy to fly if they can avoid it.
@donlunn792
@donlunn792 Год назад
Obviously they were slightly upper class Pigeons! Getting off at South Kensington! Probably going to work their way around to Ascot. Yes I’ve seen pigeons do that on the underground. I couldn’t believe what they did. But the ones I saw were obviously working class as they got off at Greenford. (Oh dear, sorry people of Greenford) just a joke. But that’s what happened.

@@cruisingontheborder Hi you two. I am enjoying your posts on RU-vid. Those pigeons on your boat were very naughty indeed! You have a bow-thruster..! Bloody good thing to have on a hull with the hydrodynamic shape of a floating railway-sleeper with the ends carved roughly pointy! When you move the tiller, you have to travel 50ft before it starts to turn. It's like driving one of those old dumpers with rear wheel steering, but with no brakes! And, possibly the same engine. If you've got to make a sharp, say, 90 degree turn with a strong crosswind in the mix, it must be a challenge! Regards, Nick.

Another very interesting vlog, thank you. ❤ Re: Pigeons, you need a big water pistol, we were camping in France a few years ago, we all had a few trees over us and a French couple had a pump water pistol and a bucket of water to hand and every time a pigeon lands in the trees above their van, they would shoot water at them. It cleared them off without hurting them. Another couple had a decoy bird of prey mounted on the van, that kept them away too. Maybe a decoy on the roof somewhere. 😀

The stretch of navigation around Zouch and up to Kegworth is very peaceful which is surprising! Because the area is very busy with major roads, rail line and the flight path to East Midland airport. I often walk the dog along the towpath there and is is such a lovely walk. It's a shame you did not have a more pleasant experience in Loughborough, the spot you had the trouble in is it is fair to say not the best place and you were wise to more on.

Maybe have a yard flag on a pole for such occasions, and wave it ...a lot..to freighten them off. Otherwise, a fake OWL on the roof might stop their even landing. . ..

@@cruisingontheborder with the hydraulic version you could if enough room turn the boat 360 . With a bit of clever engine and rudder operating and combined with the bow thruster move the boat sideways very useful in a double lock . 60ft ex challenger boat . Happy cruising John

Cheating with a bow thruster? Nah, being safe is the thing. I’m too old now, but if I had a boat it would have Bow thrusters. On Sea or Canal. Excellent piece of kit. The pigeons are not hitching a ride!! I think that you know what they are up to. They are machines. 🤣🤣 They are feral homing pigeons. But didn’t go home. And now they are following the activity of their cousins,the wood pigeons. 😂😂 My Dad and I had Racing pigeons. I think most of them have tried walking back😁 But are now long gone. Upsetting when I was a kid to lose them. But hey that’s racing pigeons.

Those who say a bow thruster is cheating, are those who wish they had one. I have one but it’s hardly been used, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use it if needed. I found drug dealers in our parking space in front of our garage years ago. When I rang the Police they said they had been under surveillance for awhile and it wouldn’t be long before they had enough to arrest them. Thing was, when they realised I wanted my parking space, they actually apologised and moved on! 🤪

Ah, except that is the mainline down to the basin. It's not a dead-end it's the basin beginning of the historical Canal built from Loughborough. The video shows joining at the junction.

Hi there thanks for the comment and questions. Someone else made the great suggestion of a water pistol, maybe next time.
