21. We're heading to London down the Grand Union but it's slow going with so many locks and boats.

  • Getting close to London we pass through Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead, Watford before finally getting to Rickmansworth but it's hard going with so many locks and slow passing so many boats.
    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.

    Totally get the extended hand washing in pub. Absolutely do the same myself after a busy day boating. 😂.
    Can’t beat a good proper free scrub.

    If the going's slow, time your movement to take advantage of the time you have where the grockles aren't allowed to move. They are often limited to moving within set hours that you do not have to adhere to. We frequenty found we could move further between 16:30 and 19:30 than we could between 09:30 and 15:30 - timings will be a little vague because the hire boats like to cluster at bigger moorings. It also helps is yu can move with some other owner doing the same sort of thing, as you can share the lock setting. Don't be afraid to call forward to pubs and ask about times for evening meals and breakfasts and if they know of any nearby moorings that aren't over-occupied. We've been invited to moor for free at some pubs, at others there's been a small charge or its been included with a meal . Enjoy!

      No many hire boats down here to be fair! It’s just going past moored boats at tick over!
      Doesn’t bother us though, quite happy to take it slow!
      Good advice about the pubs 👍🏼 thanks for watching 😊

    Love your vlog, were moored at cropredy marina and have 4 weeks out on the cut and wasn't sure where to go, thanks to watching you we've decided to do the Thames ring, (not sure if we'll go on the Thames or turn around), thanks again keep up the good work 👍😊

      We loved the Grand Union! But we did turn round at Uxbridge. Decided London and the Thames weren’t for us.
      Really hope you enjoy and have a good time, thanks for watching 😊

    The village of Berkhamsted is absolutely charming! The UK in the throes of Spring is beautiful. The ducklings! Loved this video. Thanks for sharing!

    I saw a video with a wide beam canal boat that had its own water processing rig. It could draw bathing and drinking water from the canal. Do you think there’s room for one of those on a narrow boat?

      I’ve never heard of that so not sure! But space is a premium on a narrowboat! Thanks for watching 😊
