  • In this episode we tackle the infamous Braunston tunnel, and find out why it has such a treacherous reputation. After battling our way through, we make our way down the flight, and after waiting a while for a lock buddy, we finally find someone willing to cruise with us - who just turns out to be a familiar face, ‪@RobbieCumming‬! So join us for a scary tunnel, and a scenic cruise down into the heart of the UK's canals 🤗

    Must be a rare treat to bump into a narrow boat that doesn’t have someone off the telly / a YTer on board!😂

    Well done on navigating braunston with added boats! We found it a tricky tunnel without meeting anyone! Great vlog as always! X

    Happy birthday Amy. Did you notice the ornate bridges? Rule of the country roads :::Always walk with traffic coming toward you safest way. You can’t see what is behind you. I was taught this when I was 4years old and never forgotten. You two do walk a lot on dark lanes. Take care and enjoy rally. It’s lovely to see the old boats still going ❤❤❤

    The law of sod ,you will meet another boat on the wiggly bits 😊at least the boat in front cleared the way and widened the tunnel by the sounds of it 😂Nice to have some good luck mooring,Happy Birthday Amy🎂

    Hi Amy and Wes. Looks like going through that tunnel was pretty stressful. I’d have definitely done it at 6am 😃 Take care. Nick

    Having recently travelled through Braunston tunnel for the first time we completely agree that it is a very bendy and awkward one! We passed 3 boats going through, with just a couple of nudges, but there were loud bumps, scrapes and shouts going on behind us! Yes, that water point near the marina (and the famous Gongoozler's Rest cafe boat) is little more than a dribble. Hope you had a good birthday :)

    My sister and I are coming to Oxford (also Manchester) in January and wanted to take a narrow boat ride. We are from the States. It seems as though most don't do rides in January. Is it just because of a lack of tourists that time of year? Any suggestions?

    • @nb.silverfern1
      @nb.silverfern1 Před měsícem +1

      The boating season tends to be from March through to the end of October. This is for many reasons but the winter months are the main time that Canal and River Trust carry out repairs to the system. This means that there are lots of closures so boats can't travel. In addition, the canals can and do freeze over in the winter so boats can't move anywhere. Oxford does have trip boats but they tend to be river cruiser type boats rather than narrowboats. There are some narrowboat hire bases nearby. They may have day boats available for hire.

    • @BoatTime
      @BoatTime  Před měsícem +1

      Sadly the trip boats probably won’t be operating on the thames because of the river levels. January is flood season so the river would be too fast flowing and dangerous.
      Hire boats on the canals tend to be hit and miss. Some places will close but some will be open. Just maybe don’t plan a long trip as the canal may freeze etc. 😊 Hope you get to sort something though!
