Gooday RU-vidr's. As Gorse and I leave our mooring at Galgate, the city of Lancaster is just 4 miles away - 'the tree' now existing as a distant memory.
Despite the weather forecast predicting the skies would be clear and sunny, the scene is overcast but dry - and I'm looking forward to a few hours of steady cruising and dynamic surroundings.
However, the Lancaster Canal appears determined to keep me on my toes - making Gorse and I work for those final few miles . . .

Please give a special "thank you" to the owner of Gorse for giving you and your viewers the opportunity to learn about her history and to take her on an enjoyable dramatic canal cruise. What a great, one of kind, hands-on experience for you. It was very thoughtful and generous of her to share Gorse with us. Your humor is a bonus. Thanks .

@CountryHouseGent Год назад

Thanks for that, Pete and the owner 'checks' the comments regularly. :D

@boequet Год назад

On the chug vs. purr issue, the auto-generated closed captions here in the great state of Texas, USA, have been auto-interpreting the sound the Gorse makes as [Applause]; while Aslan's closed captions are generally auto-described as [Music]. ❤

@billpadgett6585 Год назад

My family thoroughly enjoyed the "Travels by Historic Narrowboat Series," starring Gorse. The visual and commentary elements you decided to include told a "well-rounded" story; just perfect. Again, Captain Kevin remained undaunted during the "trials and tribulations" a narrowboater must sometimes face and negotiate. We always like the suspense of the canals, wondering what could possibly happen next to Kevin. Too bad Aslan missed the excitement, but she has had her share. Thanks so much Kevin. Cheers.

@CountryHouseGent Год назад

Cheers Bill, thank you for that. No worries, Aslan has plenty more adventures in store.

@billpadgett6585 Год назад

@@CountryHouseGent My apologies to the wonderful lady, who is Gorse's current owner, for presuming the owner was a "he;" lesson learned. She must be very proud of and chuffed with, Gorse's debut on the CountryHouseGent Channel. Also wanted to thank you for a "new word for the day" that I can add to my list; " provenance." Cheers Kevin.

The Gorse is a beautiful boat. She has wonderful character and charm. I would sail aboard her with no problems.

so entertained by your Gorse experiences, Kevin -- again, you seemed to meet the various challenges put forward by the boat and the Lancaster canal without panic...enjoyed your aristocratic voice "you there, fix the weed problem" -- looking forward to seeing you sail Aslan once more...

Great you got back safe and what a lovely boat was it a dream come true for you kind of the lady to let you cruise in Gorse tc now Kevin till next time the oldies Ann n David 😉👋

Thank you Ann and David. It was indeed a surprise and a privilege to have the use of Gorse.

@stevesrepairs5778 Год назад

Hahaha.. After a heck of a week I was so pleased to see this pop up on my alerts. Grabbed a cuppa, put my feet up and was ready for a relaxing moment. Within seconds the "heartbeat" of that dear vintage engine put me right to sleep..till ya blew the whistle!!! Loved the scoring, so nice seeing your appreciation of a vintage boat. Thanks for taking us along!! Cheers =^··^=

@tombowers3681 Год назад

thank you Kevin, that was a fine series about a fine boat. When thin of a narrowboat, Aslan and Gourse are what I think of. I also really enjoyed your little tour around Lancaster and envrions. great series always looking forward to whatever you want to do.

@davidsedlickas8222 Год назад

Superb filming and commentaries Kevin The comfort and joy to see you cruising our canals is so lovely. It's a lifestyle we once enjoyed and miss. Love love the engine sound not so much the lack of weed hatch and deep draft. When of course the canals were in use for their purpose I believe the canals were dredged to 4ft every where. Hence lack of use silting up and no dredging cause issues. Hope you're doing well Keep safe warm dry and virus free.

@JH-si9oe Год назад

@grahamlewis6062 Год назад

These vlogs are just terrific and so much fun 👏🌟👍. Thanks again Kevin. So glad you’ve enjoyed yourself with the great experience even if you were on so well travelled and familiar waters 🌟. Joan

@lizmottram7902 Год назад

Gorse:8, Kevin:10. Scoring broken down into categories: CINEMATOGRAPHY: 10, PRESENTATIONAL STYLE: 10, SARTORIAL ELEGANCE - scrub that - OVERALL SCORE: 10 JUST FOR "BEING KEVIN." Hope the creativity continues to flow.

@TerryC69 Год назад

Hi Kevin! I enjoyed this series indeed. Of all that Gorse has to offer, I think I was most impressed by the interior ambiance. I certainly appreciate the owner's desire to avoid anything unsightly on such a fine craft, but your list of mods are well taken and would be something I would desire as well. I know that there is so much more to getting a video together than is ever seen. All the more reason to appreciate your obvious commitment to a quality product. Cheers!

@raytheron Год назад

My week's been made! Thank you, Kevin, for yet another thoroughly enjoyable video. Gorse is a fine old lady, indeed. But I am sure you were quite happy to be reunited with Aslan. There are some beautiful stretches along that canal. Let's hope it gets dredged sooner rather than later. Now to wait with bated breath for the next video...

@camdenmcandrews Год назад

I enjoy every moment of your videos, Kevin! In this series, those giant Lego blocks that they used to replace the damaged bridge railing caught my eye as an especially interesting bit of modern Britishness.

@Lynette21122431 Год назад

Every episode you did with the Gorse turned out so interesting. I’m glad the woman let you take her on the canal and that you used your videoing, editing, and reporting skills to bring this story to us. See you again with whatever else you have for us!

HI Jaime and welcome back. In fact I've been putting content on RU-vid fairly constantly for the past 4 years, or thereabouts. There's a lot to catch up on. I've had a 4K drone for some time. Happy to hear you'd enjoy some more motorbike stuff.

@Rovinman Год назад

Another lovely day up in rural Lancashire ! Talking of no weedhatch, in the 70's, we were taking an ex Refuse towing barge, through Paddington basin. Whereupon, we were immediately assailed, by an immediate cessation of forward motion. What the h@## do we do now ? Everybody on board piled onto the bow of the boat, whilst my brother and I, tried our best, not to get into the water ! ! ! The bow lowered, the stern rose, exposing the prop., around which was wrapped all sorts of rope, wire-belts, clothing, and inner-tubing. Took us a good hour or so to relieve the prop of all that rubbish ! Loved your classification ! 8 is pretty good ! Stay safe, camping, I found those hilarious 555 ! Take care see you on the next one ! Stu xx

@frankgellenthin3733 Год назад

Another great video Kevin! Thank you for the look at the comfort facilities. They're a cut above what many marinas here in the US have. The fact that the car was cleared out of the canal so fast shows how valued your canals really are.

@rlwhite55 Год назад

Glad you are back on the canal again. I've missed you! By the way, you have long since had to go through crud on the canals, not just during this posted video. Why does the Council not clean out these canals so that boaters can get through safely?

@CountryHouseGent Год назад

Canal and River Trust have been made aware of this problem for several years. Maybe one day?

@mrdfoutz Год назад

Indeed, what an adventure! The travel certainly was challenging, and not the least bit boring! And for the record, I like the off-vessel bits (the towns and shoppes), and especially liked the camping!

@2760ade Год назад

I still don't understand the idea of having no weed hatch. The prop will invariably become tangled at some point, what would you do really? There must be a way of freeing it that doesn't involve jumping into several feet of dirty water!! Really enjoyed this series, didn't want it to end!😀

@CountryHouseGent Год назад

It's a confusing one for sure. A weed hatch is such a simple thing to add during the build.

@chriastr Год назад

I enjoyed this series very much. Thank you, Kevin. A big thank you to the owner and previous owner as well. Also, I really enjoyed the camping episodes. Wouldn't mind more of that. Have a great Sunday!

Walked down as far as the University from the North side of Lancaster back in June. The shaded "tunnel" just before, (the bit that you pass through first here) was so refreshing in the humid heat of that day. It felt so tropical that we joked about hearing Cicadas and kept a look out for Alligators! 🙂
