- Sue C if you're watching I will mention you next vlog for the coffee.
In this vlog I take an unwanted break. Rain and more rain makes boating boring to be honest. Some interesting history and a good old chat.
If you want to support this rubbish channel you could feel sorry for me and buy me a coffee from the link. A thumbs up is nice. Subscribe and you'll get to know when my vlogs out. That's nice..

I'd love to the Scottish canals. They look amazing..👍
Sorry to hear that you have been unwell. Get well soon. I hope that Mr Tiller Man has been looking after you 😂😂.
Tiller man is brassed off with me moaning. Ha ha ha.
Thanks for the kind comment. 😇
Im glad you're feeling better and hope it is still the case.
That giftbag of Sue was so great, such a kind person!
I'm feeling much better, but Mr. van seems to have caught something. Always something right? 🙄
The weird timing of me watching this in bed not feeling well… 🤪
What a lovely thought from Sue C. Hope you’re fighting fit now. Goodnight! 😴😌
I'm back on form now but I'm still stuck in because it's just wet and grey at the moment. I'm waiting for summer to start. Ha ha 😂
@@NarrowboatWill I think it might start next summer… 🤔😅
👍 thanks for sharing your travels, hope you feel better Will. 👍👍
Beautiful bridge and stunning scenery.
What about the river Wey will, that’s further south than London 😂
Is it? Right I'm heading down that way. Cheers
Get well soon Will.😝
Bless you..
Aww I hope you are feeling better soon … was lovely to meet Sue and I’m sorry your fan fiddling didn’t go to plan 😢
Sue C was a fan and then I got the wrong fan. Fiddling with fans was good and bad. I think 🤔
Hello Mrs ❤️ 😍
go to the pharmacy and get a covid test, if positive get some medication.
Just look after yourself, we love you!😎 all the way from Spain.
Bless you hope you get better soon.
Thank you Carol. Have a lovely day. 😍
@@NarrowboatWill yep keep rubbing the cream in will ! You need suey back to pamper you
@@NarrowboatWill thankyou hope you are feeling better now.x
Been painting and emptying sheds all morning, and though i would check in with you, but may go back to my painting then 🤣.
Ha Ha ha 😂 don't blame you..
@@NarrowboatWill Only joking, i watch all your vlogs and love following your travels. have you been to Bath yet.? I know you have done south to north, but did you get down to the west yet, or are you staying close to family now.
I hope you get back to your full self soon Will, take care! Rob
Ahhh thanks Rob. 😊
Soz you been ill dude, must be all the rain😬 we're in july now and ain't improved much!😆hope you feeling better now and the summer decides to join us! 🤞👍👍
No Sumner here. Cold and wet. I had my fire on the past few nights. I had to scrounge a bag of coal. Ha ha 😂
Great vlog again Will 👍🏻Considering you had the dreaded Man flu 😷if we can still call it that anymore 🤪😂🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes we can Mark. It was everything but convid..
Oh poorly Will. And how frustrating for you with the part for the computer. Loving your travels. Wish I was there.
It seems common place now. Getting the wrong part. It's so frustrating and time consuming.
good vid on the channel cranking it thanks for the share on channel
You bet your bottom dollar Lee. 💵
I think Guildford, on the River Wey Navigation, is possibly the furthest South? Love your videos as well.
Right..I'm heading down there. Watch this space, vlog, thing..
What a lovely thought from Sue C.. What's her story ?
She's a subscriber. Very thoughtful of her. Just when I needed to put some weight on. Ha ha ha 😂
Oh no, wrong fan?! Nice cliff hanger ending for the vid.
This wrong part thing keeps happing. For me and my friends, family. It looked the same..ha ha ha never mind. Ha ha 😂
Ok, it was tough, it was excruciating, it was unbearable, time moved slower than molasses in winter, my eyes burned, my ears ached, my head throbbed a throb that no pain killer could cure but, through the sweat and tears I struggled on... then, finally, after minutes of torture, seconds of pain... it came....THE END of the video. 😂🤣 Thanks for another one Mr. Will. 👍👍 Take care.
oh, P.S. I would learn how to blur out personal info. My guess is that Sue is going to get a phone call or two and maybe a couple of unwanted emails.
Ha Ha ha 😂 Brilliant. No one watches my vlogs. Sue might get a thank you email. Everyone and their granny have got our details now. Everything time you click accept cookies they have all your info..
I do need to learn how to blur things. 🤔
The hill you pointed out is called Farlton knot
Ut looks amazing. 👌
Thanks
Such a kind gesture.
With undiagnosed Lyme Disease, some people get flu-like symptoms a few days or weeks after they were bitten by an infected tick, such as:
a high temperature, or feeling hot and shivery
headache
muscle and joint pain
tiredness and loss of energy
Not everyone realises they were bitten, as they don't notice a rash at the site of the tick bite. I have removed ticks many times after walks around Wharton crags near Carnforth, the big hill you saw.
I do react badly to horse fly bites. 🪰 I got bitten on my hand, and it ballooned that night. I just need to walk around with old man out. Ha ha ha.
No, seriously, it's really bad for me. I will keep that in mind.
I'm OK now. 👍
Thank you..
Aww get better lovely. So lovely of Sue, you deserve it. Enjoying catching up with your vlogs it’s been such a barmy time. Take care lovely man ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. 😍
Hi Will such a shame you were unwell at this time in uour journey.
What a lovely supporter Sue C is maybe give her a call 📞 lol.
Joking.. it's lovely uou got such amazing friendly followers.
Those darn swans attacking the canoes 😢 I've had the same had to fend the attacking Swan off with my paddle they do keep coming pecking and flapping it's scary at their height on the water.
Hlad you're on the mend life will be back to normal again.
Your block on the wall 🧱 makes me chuckle as I have that exact clock ⏰️ seen a lot of that clock on your video today almost as much as seeing my clock at home 🏡 have fun eating ghe biscuits pressume all gone by now.
All the best kev the Brinklow kayaker 😊
I need to learn how to blur out numbers and names etc. Ha ha ha.
Swan attacks can be serious. They can break your arm.
Yep, the biscuits have gone now Kev. Ha ha ha
You take care. 👍
It sounds like flu.or my be it could be toxins.hopé you get better soon .take care. Xx
Probably both. 🤣
Will, Look up the benefits of taking collagen supplements for us older blokes. I take it on a night before bed & it helps me sleep like a baby. I also take a Berocca (Immune) daily in the morning. I haven't had a bug for years whilst all those around me seem to be coughing & spluttering every other month. Collagen is what people used to eat bone broth for in the olden days. (Even though they didn't know it). Hopefully you are well again now. I'm 60 this year & look how beautiful I still look, Because I'm worth it. 😆
That's a good shout. I'll look into it. Cheers. 👍
£64 is not the worst, I saw it for £78 at a petrol station last week. Here on our marina it’s £45 but my neighbour gets it for me at a refill place for £35. Try to use a fuel boat if you can, petrol stations are just a rip off.
@mattsandilands6380 I don't think this canal has a fuel boat. Otherwise, I would. We are living in rip-off times for sure. Thanks..

We are living in rip-off times for sure. Greed seems to be the norm now. Thanks.
I have got my woodburner on,, its 3rd July. Its COLD
Agreed. I had my fire on last night. Bloody freezing..ha ha
A good game of golf will do you good 👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴
Agreed. If i play well..ha ha
Hope your feeling better . Lovely Lady leaving biscuits for you. Xx
She is very thoughtful. I feel much better now, thank you. 😊
Hi Will. That was a lousy week for you but now you are fighting fit again I hope. Everyone appreciated Sue bringing essential provisions I see, very thoughtful of her. Makes your day when people are kind, ie above and beyond the usual level of interaction. I noticed a double Star Trek DVD pack. Are you a Trekkie? I am! Love sci-fi, especially when the special effects are top notch. Keep on captaining the good ship. Cheers. Paul.
Yeah I did love star trek and Sci fi but sadly it's lost something now. The story lines are pretty thin now and it's CGI mostly.
The golden age was from the late 70s to the 2000s Alien, mad max, star wars, great story lines.
Sue is a lovely person. Bless her.
Oh, Sue C, you are so kind🥰, don't worry about spelling of my name, I don't mind. Thank you so much for bring those treats to Will, his tea biscuit for a month is now covered😁
Centenarian's like you and I need to struggle on through the trials and tribulations of this mad world, letting your eyes drink in the sights and sounds around us knowing that time is now limited and it won't be long before the worms will be a feasting. Feck me I need help, going a little barking over here methinks, woof, woof!
Ha Ha ha.
It's true. Time is more precious than money at my age Tim. 👍
Oh bless 😢 the bloody flu is horrible, so debilitating . Glad your on the mend 👊💙
I'm used to it. Just stay in bed and ride it out. Thank you. ❤️
Feel better Will .. all the best
Yep. Thank you. 👍
The English summer.....eek
Bloody rubbish thus year. 😑
That gas price sounds like a rip off…🤬I can hear I must depart to England with full gas tanks .
That gas was ridiculous. I can't see them selling much of it. Gas used to be so cheap...
I think it's called Lancashire hotspot
That's what it's called. 🍻 👏
Hi Will hope you are feeling better, and i think you will find that Godalming is the most southerly point of the main canal system
Yes, you are correct. I didn't have time to go down there this time, but I'm going back. I am looking forward to the journey. Cheers.
Hey there Will hope you’re feeling better and to quote a buddy of mine, if I knew that I would be around this long I could have taken better care of myself.😂Ah the joys of getting older,but it’s still better above ground.
Ha Ha ha it seems better above ground. It's just wet all the time though. 😂
@@NarrowboatWill Lol then maybe you could confirm or disprove John Lennon’s lyrics in I am the walrus,can you get a tan standing in the English rain?🥴🫶
There's a new strain of the old Covid doing the rounds again... Called FLIRT, no don't titter misses.... Honestly. Glad you are coming back to life again though. Hope you are all well again now and thanks for the latest episode! 🖖👍
Ha Ha ha 😂 I'm back in business. Thanks for stopping by. 👍
🤣🤣
Hope you feel better soon
Your body needs rest to heal
Take care if you need to see a doctor see one
Take it steady x
Thank you. I just ride these fevers out. There's no way I'm driving or getting on a bus. Ha ha ha 😂
Hope you are well and happy.
I think you need to do the French Canals so we can see some different views 😉
I'd love to do that. The locks are mega massive. Any French sponsors out there. Ha ha ha
Have you done the The Basingstoke Canal & Wey Navigation they are below London
No. I'm heading that way again. I didn't have time last year when I was on the Thames. Thanks
Do you think you could have Lime Disease? It's hard to diagnose, but you could look into it. It's passed on by ticks.
Love the clock and rain sequence Will 👍💦
Thank you..It's nice because I was stuck in bed but it's not nice now because I want to go out. Ha ha 😂
@@NarrowboatWill I know it's a bit shite eh? We got the bus to Kendal today and windermere yesterday. We're in the exact spot you filmed this vlog looking at the same lilies 😂
@nevermorethan4 It's a lovely spot and I would've walked further up, but I wasn't feeling it. 😕 ha ha ha. 😂
you might need to make sure you are getting enough vit D Will. 4000 IU daily
Agreed. I do take 2000 iu per day in winter. Thanks 👍
@@NarrowboatWill You need at least 4000 iu daily Will. You're a big man like Dr John Campbell, and you use a lot of energy. Love you lots, best wishes from Adelaide SA .Plenty of sunshine here but I still take Vit D now in Winter.
I don't remember you doing the Wey and Arun 🤪🤪🤪🤪
How do I get there?
@@NarrowboatWill River Thames at Weybridge (Shepperton lock). Also you have the Basingstoke Canal off the River Wey at the M25 overhead
@andyaldrich5884 OK I'm on it..
Negative thoughts attract negative results. We all love your vlogs so think, I will attract more views, more subscribers and that will be your results
That's the sort of thinking I like. We live in a very negative, driven society. News is the worst thing to watch or violent horrors etc. Cheers Mark. Think positive..
Crt will put you on a six month licence, you haven't done enough miles,get a home mooring 😂
Crt can do one. I don't stop moving. Ha ha ha
Get yourself to the Dr's man xxx men need to look after themselves more xxx
I can't get into a doctors for weeks. I'd be back on my feet by then. Ha ha 😂
Sounds like you got COVID
I'D AGREE WITH THAT
Sorry to see you are feeling ill .and you seem to be on a downer about the weather and your life living on the canals..
Sorry but I can't in all honesty remember ever feeling that way... maybe it's because I took time to leave my boat and take a holiday camping for a few weeks ..at every opportunity.
Perhaps it was because of having no living relatives to think about..when sitting alone in my boat... when the weather prevented me from moving my boat.
However I did have a van and all I ever did was to throw a mattress and sleeping bag in the back along with a camping stove and a few pots and frying pan. In the back. and off I went .
There are plenty of fourteen day moorings on the canal system. To choose from ...
You can do exactly the same thing .. when things start to get you down . take a break it's the best medicine ever...
So will I hope to see things have improved for you .. when you decide to upload your next video... filthy thumbs up mate.👍👍👍👍...
I've started converting my van. I've put a fold up bed in there and 2 leisure batteries with a little 300 watt inverter. I could sleep in there quite easily.
The constant rain is horrible. We've had weeks and weeks of it. And it's still raining in July. That would bring anybody down. Ha ha ha.
You take care Wayne. I'm coming back. 👍
Will you have always been a fellow I could relate to ..as I could see my past in everything you have done...
Why I suggested that you take time away from the canal because it has always worked for me in the past... especially when I could not move the boat for weeks on end trough problems with locks being inoperable..or canal sides collapsing.... this gave me a chance to see many places far from any canal .a few days sitting by a beach .or visiting places like Snowdonia national park.
The lake District ...my favourite place was Pembrokeshire .. mainly because of its coastline and coastal paths..I always found a place to park the van .and never failed to find a water supply .. strangely enough I always met people who were doing the exact same thing...
On a lighter note if you look at my past comments I mentioned that I was of to have a look at a boat for a friend of mine. The surveyor mentioned a knock in the engine and could not engage the gears without crunching them.. thankfully it only took an hour to sort it out. The engine mounts were loose which was causing the knocking issues every time the engine when running would jump up and down on the mounts the gear box mountings were also loose causing the prop to be out of line...
It took minutes to adjust the gear linkage ...why the mechanic at the boat yard had not picked this up is beyond me. However my friend got a huge reduction in the price of the boat because of these issues so everything ended well for him..
I am telling you about this because there is loads of work available for a decent mechanic ..on the canals .a day here and there servicing someone's engine will cover the cost of taking a trip ..
That's a typical story about people boats I kerp hearing. Simple things being missed.
I do get away and you'll see why I prefer to stay on my boat. What a complete nightmare it turned into when Mr van got a bug as well. Ha ha ha.
Good on you for having the skills to help people out.
I fitted a solar panel yesterday and the chap was so pleased he gave me a nearly new prm125 d2 gearbox. Blimey I was blown away. I would've been happy with a coffee. Ha ha ha 😂
1minute 45 seconds in and nothing happening so turning off 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha Ha ha fair play..
Sorry to see your still feeling unwell . I hope it doesn’t last too long . It’s not nice waking up in the morning and when you look in the mirror you see Joe Biden staring back at you 😊. I think we have all been there …….. hope the biscuit diet works .
Ha Ha ha 😂 Brilliant. It's not nice being Joe..
Sounds like bloody malaria Will…..
Ha Ha ha 😂 Online diagnostics. Love it. I've got no idea. I just ride it out. 😎
@@NarrowboatWill my grandfather had malaria, he got in in East Africa in the First World War. He felt rotten for years. It keeps repeating. As he got older it seemed to disappear. Have you ever been in a malaria area? Far east and Africa it’s still found. Even used to be malaria in Europe once upon a time.
@@NarrowboatWill go and see a doctor
What the hell did you go and do? Did you get a COFU shot? Theirs your problem. Do as the GOV. say. Their there to help you.
I'm not getting any shots. I'd prefer to ride it out like we used to. 😏 Thanks for watching.
I know it’s probably a bit late now, but you should have asked your ex wife, to make some chook 🐓 soup for you, I would never ask mine as she may put something else in it 😉
Ha Ha ha. She does make some good soups with weird ingredients. I don't ask what in them. Ha ha 😂
That's what in my mind, Will need a hot🐓soup with a few slices of toasted garlic bread.......😋
Why don't you look into the cost for 2025 and see if you can raise enough from those who enjoy your vlogs. I bet there is someone out there with a flatbed who will take it to France.
My God that would be scary but amazing. I'm not sure I could stay in France for more than 90 days though. 😕
hide the you know what
Agreed.
Thanks
Thank you so much. ❤️
Thanks
You've sent it 3 times. Are you sure that's what you wanted to do?
@@NarrowboatWill yes I was told to from someone High Up, see you on the next one
Bless whomever that was..@@mylessmart6762
