- Hartshill, bridge 33 to Mancetter, bridge 36 - A Narrowboat cruise on the Coventry Canal. On the way I see a grass snake swimming in the canal, and also some alpacas (not swimming in the canal). 30th March 2019.

I grew up in Hartshill and my parents got married in Mancetter church. I spent many happy childhood hours fishing with friends next to bridge 33 during the '80s and the sound of express trains racing down the nearby mainline takes me back! So glad it still looks (and feels) idyllic.
Watching cats is never boring!..😊This a lovely area...Thank you once again!..😀
Love the cat cam!
Lovely scenery! Really beautiful. And I loved Cat Cam!
I am not surprised that the cats sleep - lulled into it by the motion of the boat. I suspect they follow the sunny spot. Lovely to see then at the end. Now we know why it takes a moment for them to come out - they have to wake up!
You are the best one to make videos on narrowboat...go on with this
Love the cat cam - I often wonder what they are up to when you are cruising and now I know!
They don't do much, they just sit under my desk whilst we are moving.
I really liked the scenery around the winding hole.
Hello from Denver, Colo9rado. (The 9 is silent) I enjoy your videos for the brief fantasy each one gives me of traveling quiet, navigable waters through contemporary and historic areas - sometimes simultaneously. I also enjoy the occasional UFO sighting, though, just between the two of us, I'm not convinced of their veracity.
Or could it be Man-Chetter Phil? I'm not sure either, but we have somewhere here in Peterborough which is spelt the same and people do pronounce it Man-Chetter. Who knows! That second green boat was following MUCH too closely to the first! They could have been tied together! ;) The snake was a good size :) You're right, Atherstone looks lovely!
That boat was being towed. I don't worry too much about saying place names correctly - it helps generate comments for the video. ;-)
There are snakes in the canals??? I would freak out if I saw that. Do they ever get on the boats? We have rattlesnakes where I live and they really scare me. Love the alpacas though.
Grass snakes are harmless, you don't see them very often. they very sensibly keep away from people..
If you get some good Cat Shots we would Watch! maybe a whole vid ?? Just before 12: the Van and Narrowboat on your left looked like a nice home mooring, I liked the plantings out in the water, for safety. Another great Vid, Thank You.
So enjoyed this trip. Thank you. Seeing the occasional bit of debris floating along gives rise to the question, ‘How do the canals stay so clear of such?’
Thank you. There is often a lot of junk in the canals in urban areas.
@@NarrowboatJourneys Does the CRT clean what they can, or do communities adopt certain sections to help out?
I feel I have been here before in another life. Oooops I mean another CZcams channel.
A section of towpath that I know well, looking forward to you next vlog through Atherstone
Good afternoon Phil, I enjoyed your cat cam, also have 2 indoor cats. I just noticed that UK drive's on the left side of the road but the Narrowboats pass on the right side? Ray from Spring Hill, Florida
Yes, boat normally pass on the right, but it's not a hard and fast rule. Just occasionally common sense will favour passing on the left. You should signal the other boat to let them know what you are doing though.
The boats with the hydraulic arms are equipped with cutter heads for trimming back vegetation?
Cats, not doing much? Have you seen any gerbils wandering free on deck? No! And all that anti-gerbil planning is exhausting! LOL.
Hello and good evening Phil, lovely video as always. As you said, a very pretty and picturesque part of the Cut. What's with the two boats at 5.20 ? Was the one being towed by the other ? at double speed it looked like a bit of canal rage about to kick off. Cat cam was a nice idea, sneaky peek at the feline side of the crew.
Yes, one boat was towing the other. Probably a break down.
It's pronounced 'Man-setter' :-) and it's where Boadicea was captured by the Romans, the ancient site of the Brits last stand. :-) Also, Atherstone is pronounced 'a' as in apple, 'the' as in 'the cat', and then 'stun'.
'a-the-stun' :-) Hope this helps.
Great videos, keep up the good work matey!
My name is Luxury Yacht but I pronounce it Throat Warbler Mangrove.
Nice to see the cats out wandering around. Do they bring you back and gifts? Like voles or bugs?
@@NarrowboatJourneysMine bring mice and birds, some of the mice I can rescue, one actually caught a pigeon last year, but the head was bitten off by the time he brought it home, it was a cock pigeon, and it was breeding season for the pigeons, so I guess he wasn't paying attention to what was going on.
@@NarrowboatJourneys You Can put your Kitty's on screen any time. Hearing makes me Smile.
Do any of you narrowboaters ever see any deer out and about while cruising some of the more out of the way places?
Yes, they are easier to spot in the winter when there is less vegetation.
@@NarrowboatJourneys Cool, hope you film some.
I got a very brief glimpse of some deer in this old video of mine. czcams.com/video/oEorA2y1SSI/video.html
What were the two guys in the green and yellow boat doing at point #50? Dredging?
I'm not sure. Cutting the reeds back perhaps?
@@NarrowboatJourneys Thanks
I think we need a bit more narration; long sections of silence have those fingers furiously tapping right! Nice scenery though!
Try using headphones. There is no silence.
The lapping water and engine noise doesn’t count. Perhaps some appropriate music would help. And what, for example, was that dredger/crane like boat you passed? Trying to be constructive here, but your reply came across as a bit irritated. Yeah, I know, I don’t have to watch, but I certainly would if there was a bit more interest.
Perhaps I should do as the other boat tubers do and cut out about 80 - 90% of the trip? I am seriously considering doing so. Showing edited "highlights" would certainly boost views but would give a distorted impression of the canals. The simple truth is that a lot of canal travel is not very interesting or exciting, but it usually is very relaxing. I don't know what the work boat was doing? I think it might have been cutting the reeds? I do try to please my viewers but it's impossible to please everybody. Some don't like it when I add music, some do etc.
Well, I loved the imagery, but as any editor will tell you, video is 40% of the viewer experience, Audio 60%.
@@NarrowboatJourneys you're at a big disadvantage by being solo.
There's no banter and you are restricted in what shots you can take.
Add some commentary like cruising the cut does,rather then just empty loo and rubbish bin here ,shops that way.
Get off the boat and explore your surroundings, with a bit of history thrown in,and a visit to the pub.
Vids are just to predictably now.
