The first 6 seasons of Travels By Narrowboat are available on Amazon Prime, with Season's 7, 8, 9 and the latest Season 10, exclusively on this CZcams channel.
In Travels by Narrowboat, I journey along the UK canal system aboard my narrow boat 'Aslan' (links below), visiting new places, viewing fabulous scenery and enjoying an alternative living lifestyle.
Motorcycle Road Trips is a new series on this channel - in the first season I explore the Scottish Islands, travelling on a variety of ferries, and camping in breathtaking locations.
Also on this channel, there are various motorcycle videos, as well as videos of my VW T25 Camper Restoration / Repair, and maintenance work on a Land Rover Discovery TD5.
Photography has been a big passion of mine and as well as photography videos here on CZcams, there's also my popular blog of all things street photography called (strangely enough), The Street Photography Blog.
You'll find all the links below.

Leaving the idyllic harbour town of Tarbert, I continue towards the larger port town of Oban, and where I'll be catching the ferry to Mull the next day. Along the way I sample some superb twisty, smooth and fast tarmac, as well as my fair share of traffic. Fortunately I'm riding a BMW R1200GS, with an engine famed for it's low-down pull . . .

Can't beat the view from that campsite...but you missed a gem of a site passing Roseview. We have camped there for years, and in pod too. Sign is misleading, unless things have changed in past 4yrs. If ever you are that way again, give it a try. Loving your trip around west of Scotland, makes me want to do it all again!
It was your stealing someone's sail
Your worse than me in a car park 😂great video and wot a camp site
Ha yes Ian, there's always a better parking space. 🙂
Hi ya Kevin, you have no idea of how much we are enjoying touring with you on your bike in the Highlands of Scotland. Each week we cant wait until the next one. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you so much John, it is fabulous to hear how much the series is being enjoyed and appreciated. 🤗
Absolute escapism, our family adore watching all your adverures Geoff. Thanks again for taking the trouble to show us all the beautiful places you visit.
Hello Kevin! Spectacular views! Thank you for taking us on your marvelous journey!
Always enlightening and enjoyable! Thank you, Kevin!
Hi Kevin! You've done an outstanding job with this series. I am enjoying it very much!
Marvellous!
Excellent, Kevin. It’s a real treat to ride along with you, see all these beautiful sites/sights, how you deal with different aspects of road tripping. Your sprouts, asparagus, and lamb looked scrumptious! Thank you for having this fabulous idea! See you next time from over here in Portland, Oregon.
A weekend this summer without a brilliant ride in Scotland with you would be like . . . a spam sandwich. No soul. 😉 The landscape continues to be spectacular, as does the weather. It is as it should be, Kevin. Worth the wait. ☀️🏍️⛺️
Kevin, the blue of the water next to the campsite was amazing. You struck blue-gold there.
Evening Kevin......."what, what, what!!!" Cracking video as always, thank you so much. We so look forward to our "kev's up" treat on a friday it's, the best half hour of telly all week. Such a beautiful spot to enjoy your sprouts while resting in your chair. You really did pick the right weeks to travel concidering what the weather has been like this summer. Thanks again Kevin, really appreciate these video's. All the best for now, floss and Jan.
😍 Beautiful engine, great video and what an absolute gem of a boat. The engine room os marvellous.
Evening Kevin. Thanks for the video, i was thinking as i was watching, i can't imagine the time it takes to edit these. Cutting from one camera to the other. All your time and effort really is appreciated Kevin. Apart from the beautiful scenery we love your commentary, so don't ever think you haven't made a great video because we always enjoy them wether that be by bike, boat or cooking. All the best Kevin, Floss and Jan.
It's your channel and you are entitled to your opinion but do please ensure that when you give out information that it is factually correct. There are quite a few models of electric bike with well over 200 miles of range. My Lightening has a range of 180 miles and it achieves that on normal roads. Charge can be through an electric hookup on a campsite so whilst you sleep the bike can charge. Most campsites have electric hookup. I just completed a tour in Wales and didn't have any issues with charging or range. Unless you've tried it then I am going to say you are not qualified to say - all you are doing is speculating. Sadly, your comments have made me feel less like continuing to watch your series, which I was looking forward to. Disappointing really. I expected better from you.
Good ride Kevin! Am glad that you were able to find your green veg to add to your dinner! 🥘
Was that a cuckoo in the background while you were eating your lamb? Lovely vlog of a beautiful place :)
Yes it was. Heard many cuckoo's on my travels.
Another beauty Kevin, many thanks!
thanks again for the ride Kevin in gorgeous Scotland and nice haircut! Happy trails from the USA!
What, no places in Scotland that serve pork pies or lamb vindaloo?? I figured those would have already been mapped out along the route.🙂
Hiya Kevin, wow Scotland looks fantastic there so clean and fresh . We was looking at Stornoway are you going there in your adventure of Scotland by any chance mate???. Am really enjoying all your video's really interesting 🤔🤔🤔. Take care and Thank you for sending me this video X X X
Many thanks for watching Susan. Check out part one, where I detail the route and islands I'll be visiting. 🙂
Kevin - I'm really enjoying your motorcycle journey through Scotland. Scenery is amazing and I know I will probably never have the chance to visit. Thanks for sharing and the quality of the videos is outstanding.
Another great episode. Thankyou. Take care.
Really pleased to hear that Carol, cheers for watching.
See "Long Way up", as I know you have, for the "joy" of electric motorcycles. What a pain.
Indeed and thank heavens for a large industrial diesel generator on the back of a diesel lorry to charge the bikes and pickups - but remember, they did it on electric bikes. 😆 (P.S. Strange how no one refers to that series as an example of an electric road trip 🤔).
Great video again Kevin, You keep finding these lovely camp site's, Enjoy. Dave and Elaine.
FYI, there is 1 electric motorbike called The Felo Tooz that will go 125mph and has a range of 450 miles/720 Kilometers. OMG, I had to fast forward you were killing me going on and on about what you don't know regarding Electric. I have a Chevrolet volt which would probably more fit your dialogue I had no idea the range on some electric motorcycles until I did a google. Probably best to stick to what you know that being the combustible engines 🤗
Btw, I've watched every one of your videos on the canals in England with your narrowboat I've enjoyed those😊
Wait a minute… a fried spam sandwich with cucumbers on toast with mustard can be quite engaging. But if the spam was cold, unheated, I completely understand. 😍🤟
Good morning! Hope you are keeping well. Lovely episode, I could almost smell that Gorse (the bush variety, not the narrowboat 😁). Hope the facilities weren’t too far away on the campsite, especially as you ate all those sprouts! 😎
Another good video, the weather seems to be kind to you, another good site with a view,
Gosh what fun!Great spot So glad your having a great time!And especially for sharing all this with your very lucky viewersll. Bon Appetito!🤓
Those lamb steaks looked perfect, as did the sprouts; but the asparagus needs to retain a bit of crunch for my palate. Thanks for another delightful vlog!
What! No gravy & Mint sauce. Controversial Kevin. Just kidding. Those lamb steaks did look nice. Great video.
N̈ice one Cyril, ...... err Kevin. ! I hope you can do the journey in 20 years ! If the Petrol Companies, had got their acts together, EVERY Petrol Station, would have had a Line of electrric Stalls, instead of moaning about EV's ! And to give you that authentic Motor-Bike sound, you could do what we used to do as kide, ...... stick a piece of cardboard in the spokes. ! Just lovin' this series ! Stay ICE cold in the Islands. ! Stu. Xx
Really enjoying the Scottish Island motorcycle vlogs. Nice change of pace. If in the beginning that was a Mr Bean impersonation, it was spot on. Cheers from Florida 🌴🌴🌴👍
scotland looks absolutely beautiful the palm trees in the earlier episode were a hoot, good old gulf stream..
In China they use swappable car batteries, pull up and change the battery faster than filling with petrol. It only works there because the government controls everything and makes all car makers use the same battery. I would definitely ride an electric bike if there were no more combustion engines. Those Surron E-dirt bikes look like a blast to ride.
Kevin Had A Little Lamb
The bike has a nice note to it when you open it up a bit. Living the dream.
Hi Kevin, thank you for sharing your adventures. The scenery is beyond beautiful and it’s lovely seeing the communities.
you’re a wizard with words and visuals, fantastic video! ♂️
As an old Yankee .... with a few brews in my belly .... watching you drive your motorcycle on the "left" side of the road over hills .... makes parts of me cringe ! But it's all OK. :) sbf
Thanks for the ride Kevin. Quite enjoyable.
Great ride Kevin. Such stunning scenery!🏍❤🤗
Good times .. good memories
Great video as always Kevin.
Keep on doing the gratuitous shots of the bike, it's a good companion and better than any Sinclair C5 type device. Also, beautiful scenery and well paced so that we can take it all in.
Just started season 7, after binge watching all 6 on prime, excellent filming , and loving the cooking sections , hopefully see you on the cut in 18 month's when im a liveaboard.
Great to hear that Martin and hope you enjoyed the first 6 seasons. Cheers,
@CountryHouseGent I certainly did ! I'm quickly running out of all things narrow boaty to watch, though,keep up the good work.
Oh so inspiring to follow your journeys on the road as well as the canals! At 68 years old it really makes me feel like just getting out there if only puttering around on a smaller bike! My boating consists of my 17’ Grumman canoe and 10’ Pelican kayak on the lakes in the mountains 20 minutes away! Keep the great videos coming! Oh btw I do wear one of your T shirts when out on the water!!!
Loving the bike trek.... I also ride, here in America... What model and brand is your helmet? I have a huge head (let the jokes begine), and I've looked ones like yours with no luck. Just love the versatility of yours. keep up the good work, and ride safe my friend.
Hi Bruce, it's an LS2 Advant. Mine's the previous model. The new one is more compact but still the same features and operation.
@@CountryHouseGent thanx!!
