Welcome to the first episode of Season 9 of Travels by Narrowboat and you join me at Great Haywood on the Trent & Mersey Canal, where I left off at the end of Season 8.
In this season, Aslan and I will be retracing part of our original course from Season One, as well as adding a new canal to the series.
Before setting off, I take a look around and discuss the history of Great Haywood. Later I sample some of the local farm shop's savoury delicacies.

The first 6 seasons of Travels By Narrowboat are available to stream on Amazon Prime www.amazon.com/dp/B07NXQG5HB/ with Seasons 7, 8 & 9 here on RU-vid.

Aslan is puff-puffing along, Kevin's at the tiller, God's in His Heaven, all's right with the world.

@craig5477 Год назад

The sound of Aslan ticking along, your new intro song, the what & how of your commentary. Your ability to frame a scene and your choice of what to shoot. All these are the sights & sounds of an old friend coming back for a much anticipated visit. My relaxation factor has much improved thanks to your return. Cheers.

@@CountryHouseGent No no, thank you. This series kept me busy through the covid lockdown and it was really refreshing to see an area of the world in this detail that I would have otherwise never seen. We dont really have canal waterways like this in the U.S. so I found (find) this really interesting as well as relaxing. Also, your camera work is impeccable. Every time I want to look at something, the camera appears to move in that direction for me! Great Job on this, I hope it continues for another 9 seasons.

Evening Kevin "our sunshine" that's the best half hour of telly we have watched in months - so many thanks. The first moments of sound of the beautiful engine that Aslan has, made us both sigh, it was like an old friend was visiting again. So Kevin, many thanks for your hard work and time, it is so appreciated by us "armchair" watchers. You take care Kevin and we look forward to seeing you both next week. All the best for now, Flossy & Jan x
