    This week we set off to do the Hatton lock flight in our narrowboat, just as storm Kathleen is due to hit the UK with winds upto 50mph. Once we start the last 10 locks we cant stop! Surely somethings bound to go bump!
    Hi, we are Rozzie & Rob with our lovely cockapoo's Ralph & Rosie. We have given up the rat race, sold our house and have bought a new narrowboat, Thistle & Rose. Our vlogs are showing our learns as we go from bricks and mortar to life on the water. Join us as we literally learn the ropes of becoming continual cruisers on England's 2500 miles of canals & rivers.
    Our vlogs are ideal if you have ever wondered what it's like to live on a narrowboat or are considering to make the leap and buy your very own narrowboat. There's always some humour, lots of mistakes and always a few drinks being poured. Subscribe to our channel, ask us a question or just watch our videos as there's something for everyone.
    Our music is from CZcams Library, Artist.i.o & Storyblocks via Clipchamp.

    I like how you do the videos now as it shows all the life you live. That being said the occasional video of just the travel itself would be nice as seperate videos.

    Glad you missed the storm. Water still looks high that way. We actually love the format as is. But a compilation of countryside shots for sections that you have done, with some of that charming music, would be a marvellous informative record and resource for folks wishing to see what a particular section or sections of the network look like. And also, in years to come, how they've changed.

    Cruising footage is always welcome when we are at home looking at a blank wall. Our new boat from Elton Moss Boatbuilders will be ready next month so we are looking forward to experiencing this type of content again ourselves. Keep up the good work....

    I grew up smack bang in the middle of the North Stratford and Grand Union in Solihull. Both are lovely around Hockley Heath, Bentley Heath and Earslwood. In fact both are beautiful until you pass north of Shirley and Solihull the whole of the North Stratford is picturesque until the junction but is still probably the better route into South Birmingham passing Cadbury World. The Grand Union really changes once north of Solihull. Cycled both routes into Brum plenty of times. Safe travels x
    P.S I would love to see the extra footage you have of the route you take 😊

    It is a silage bale, bit different from hay and yes they weigh an awful lot.

    One should always take the road, or canal, less traveled.

  • @optimist3580
    @optimist3580 Před 3 měsíci +1

    What direction to take! Head to the north and get the 3 Pennine crossings done, it’s been a wet spring so there’s a good chance they’ll not get closed for lack of water.
    Ps. Is that the remains of Roz’s breakfast I see all down her front?
