Video

Ahhh my neck of the woods

No need to fully remove bleed screws, just slacken them off a bit.

Started off ok but he, or someone unknown drowned out the important bits with some stupid, inane, music which drowns him out in places. For a video purporting to inform an spiring narrowboater it's very intrusive and annoying.

Great video - I now live in Darwin Australia but I used to regularly ride from Bradford north to Silsden or south to Leeds on the cycle track next to the canal. Shifted from Bradford to Darwin in May of this year. The countryside from Bradford to Silsden, particularly after the Bingley 5 Rise was chocolate box beautiful! I can advise from 8:38 where you went under the bridge that the "track" has been replaced by a proper riding and walking path to Silsden where it reverts back to just being a track:)

I have an assessment tomorrow to design an automated water lock system for collage might just rob this idea thank you

Godwin=good quality stove. Take care and thanks for the video.

I have no idea what a narrowboat is, but I recently purchased a home with a larger version of this Godin stove and have no idea how to use it. This video was really helpful! Thanks.

Music was too loud, I struggled to hear your voice over it.

just decided to download all your playlists very cool videos and speech is making me feel homesick LOL keep up the great videos

Being cheeky again, where are the blinds from please 😊

Good morning, I’m being nosey where did you get your curtain poles from ?

Just bought a boat at Thorne, hope to make it my home mooring.

Beautiful tutorial. Thanks so much!! Keep it up

Is it a "Who has the biggest camera?!" Conventuon? Hehe

Is that lemonroyd marina

Hi, enjoyed your blogs. Does Lemonroyd marina have residential moorings pls

The only time you could have too much fuel is when you’re on fire.

Maybe its just because I'm AMERICAN, but I feel like "HISTORICALLY" tge pint came before almost EVERYTHING of any import so uh.....Im having one NOW. NICE VID THOUGH❤❤❤ Matches well with a STOUT

Well done!

Well I guess it is a good thing that I didn't unsubscribe when you sold your boat. This was a nice bonus, thank you.

Well that was a nice surprise popping up this morning... I even see an early days 'Ellis' and gorgeous Capt. pottering about on the back deck... shame the washing was out! ;-)

That looks like pretty nice weather for England in winter. Here in the Pacific Northwest we are being slammed with storm after storm after storm rolling in off the Pacific. But then we all like it, because thats why we live here. CHK IT- czcams.com/video/DQvkGs2JUYg/video.html !

Hi there; good to see you again. Left you showing us around your boat, prior to living on the south coast, as I recall. How goes? I hope the art is working for you. Might you return to boat-life at any point? Anyway, A Happy and Healthy New Year to you both. PS. I hope you post again; your style was always very pleasant and posts can be about other things if necessary: walks (plenty of boaty walks down here!) or art etc. Whatever, good to see this vid, thank you.

I'm guessing an old video as the boat has probably been sold. Great to see a video from you guys all the best and happy new year. Chris from Leeds

Wow! This is a blast from the past :) Great to know you're still alive and kicking :)

Yeah! I have been missing your adventures too... New Year , New boat? hint hint! HINT! edit: So happy about the video, I forgot my manners and didn't say Happy New Year and hope the Family is doing well!

Please don't over-tighten nuts into aluminium screw threads, as they will crumble away.

I'm glad you like your stove now! I have a green one that I just restored, and one identical to yours. They both heat houses in the mountains, and I love them. Also, they don't create a lot of wood ash, so I guess they are more efficient than most other stoves. Plus you can cook on the top of it!

Hi guys. I went to Skipton by bus in 2004, it was in fact my first trip to the U.K. And, i think this is the most common question: the water from the toilet...where does it dump to? The mooring area has faucets with fresh water to refill the tanks? Many thks for your answer and the vídio, quite nice!

The stove looks very classy...can you buy it in the UK......

Might be a silly question but do you only light the stove when your moored or can you have it running while you are on the move. Thank you

Looking into getting a narrowboat and wanted to see what type of work was involved on the engine. Your video was absolutely perfect. Few questions: Should you warm the engine before pumping the oil out? Do you check for loose bolts around the engine? Are torque settings important? At 6:36 could you of tightened the other end of the bolt rather than the hard to get to one? Could you tie the coolant hose so it doesn't rub the engine? With checking the oil does the dip stick need screwing in (on many engines you stop before screwing in)? Where do you put the old oil? Could you do a similar video on checking the electrical system? Sorry for so many questions!

Yes i really liked the white ceiling and oak edging/ coving it made the whole boat look wider somehow and of course lighter too many boats have to much wood paneling and it closes the boat down ..good choice dinette is a must

Excellent tour! Great job on the renovations. Looking forward to seeing more in the future. Thanks for posting.

Love that stove - exqensive yes but there seems to be a second hand market for them and there are a couqle for around £500 on Ebay. It is so qretty but not intrusive in a small area and I notice they have a narrow flue. Some narrowboat stove fittings have a flue chimney almost as big as the stove toq and it looks chunky and ugly.

I love a nose around narrowboats, they're all so different, but I must say your kitchen/galley is my favourite to date 😀👍

The thumbnail is just trolling us all right now.

Sorry you are giving up the boat....good luck with future plans....

Great video which gives me the confidence to open the fuel system on my Beta 43. Having changed the belts on both domestic and engine alternators I agree that the domestic one is relatively simple, especially if you have a screwed tensioner like I have. Took me about 10 mins. If you are thinking of more challenging videos , how about a 2 hr timelapse video showing the basic principles of changing the engine alternator fanbelt. I'm sure the loud music would be needed to cover the swearing here!. Think it took me about 4 hrs and needed to strip all the domestic alternator bracketry , engine alternator bracketry and loosen half the screws on the water pump housing to allow adjustment,, buy a decent set of ring spanners as nothing else would reach and adjust with a foot long screwdriver. Having finally got the belt off, although it was stamped 'Beta Marine', it was obviously the ONLY one EVER made and unique to our specific engine. We were right outside Midland chandlers at Braunston and neither they nor any other branch could match the part or determine why genuine part replacements were either too long or short.. Finally found one at the lovely people at Grand Union Canal carriers who agreed how difficult the belt was to change. Stay safe and happy cruising.

Just noticed your cat is a spit for our cat, how did you manage to get him to wear a harness?

How sad that village was left to go to ruin.....

Brainstorm was one of my favorite places to visit whenI lived down that way...loved seeing all the boats....

Cannot beat staying up north....

Have been binge watching canal vlogs during the lock down not sure how many but a fair few....they keep me entertained and see all the great places and scenery....

First time ever seen someone take a cat for a walk on a lead....

Always good to see videos like this as they are so informative. Just one small thing for this vid - just need to turn the music sound down a little :-)

Your boat looks fantastic!

I think if i lived in the U.K this is how i would live.

Coal burns so much better then wood.

Hi, I have a Godin stove with a rear outlet. Due to the odd sizing of the outlet, I was wondering how you fitted your flue pipe to the stove. I’m presuming you have used 4 inch flue pipe? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I would love to get my one up and running in my summerhouse. Thanks
