I have obviously come late to the party, can't believe I haven't stumbled across this before. A thoroughly captivating and enjoyable video. Just like when reading a great book, I think I'll stay up late for another chapter. Thank you.
Thank you for your king thoughts, Keith.I am pleased that you obviously enjoyed it so much. The are more episodes telling the full story.Kind Regards, Jim
Hello Keith, sorry I have been so long replying to your very kind thoughts. I am very pleased you enjoyed our our narrow boat holiday adventure. May I recommend you watch Our Big Adventure Parts 1,2 & 3. I am sure you find it worth a watch. Kind Regards to you, Jim
HI Jim, I have watching the whole series and found it very enjoyable and relaxing, I googled Harry to see what he was up to and was sad to see he has passed away, I read a lot about the work he done for St. Andrews and other charity work on hes obituary on the St. Andrews webpage, thank you and Trisha for sharing your videos and I would like to send Trisha my sincerest condolences on the loss of he father, Best wishes to you all. Simon
We hired sorrel from this hire company back in the year 2000. It was a good holiday. I remember there were a lot of swing bridges. The edges of the canal were very shallow and if you weren't careful you could get grounded. Also it rained most of the time.
Hi Robert, I was impressed with the hire company. The boat was perfect in every way. I would recommend Pennine Cruisers to anyone. We were more fortunate than you in that the weather was good through our week hire, especially being September. We grounded on the odd occasion, like you say it was shallow in places on the edges. Kind Regards to you, Jim
Hi 52memor. Thank you for your kind thoughts. Harry reads all the comments . So thanks again. I have a new adventure film that starts on 12th April. I am walking on coastal paths around the UK. You will find it on youtube. Once agin, thank you
Not sure if you are still on CZcams but we have just watched your holiday and thoroughly enjoyed. We live near Skipton so your visit there was interesting. May we ask how is Harry? He was amazing....All the best, Tricia and Neil....
Hello Neil, Firstly THANK you for writing. Yes, I am still on CZcams. You might be sad to learn that Trish and I split up in 2018, but pleased to know that Harry celebrated his 99th birthday earlier this month. I am now living in Derbyshire. Now 75. but fit and well. You might be interested to know that I walked the coast path on England, Wales and Scotland soon after Trish and I split. All 390 days of the walk were videoed by me. You might like the full adventure covering 5,000 miles ( on CZcams. All the best to you both, Kind Regards. Jim
Hi Paul, Thank you for your warm and enthusiastic responses to the first day of our narrow boat holiday. I hope you enjoy the next six days of our adventure. Please may I ask you to subscribe to my channel which will give you access to other adventure films we have made over recent years, in particular Our Big Adventure Parts, 1,2,& 3, which is about Trish crossing the Atlantic in a small boat with 3 friends. Once again, thank you for your kind thoughts. Kind Regards, Jim
Hireboaters back in the 60's 70's were almost entirely responsible for the interest in the network today. Without them and their revenue the canals would be long since forgotten!
Very enjoyable to watch and thanks for uploading. Great to see Harry enjoying the trip and am amazed how active he is. Incredible as he is in his nineties !
HI Mersey Merlin, thank you for your kind comments. I am delighted that you watched our film and enjoyed it so much. Harry is a fantastic guy.He is a retired GP, very knowledgeable, intelligent and with a great sense of humour. This morning Trish and I are taking him for a ride to one of his favourite places, Louth in Lincolnshire, where he buys his Lincolnshire sausages. Harry is very good preparing his own dishes in the kitchen. Once again, thank you. Kind Regards, Jim
Thank you Martin. Instead of walking West Scotland which I have postponed until 2021, I am walking the Leeds & Liverpool canal instead. from mid July. Will bring some great memories. Harry and Trish are doing well. Kind Regards, Jim
Hi Colin, I am sure Trish would agree to that. Thank you for your comment and humour, glad you obviously enjoyed it. Kind Regards to you, and may I wish you a Happy New Year. Kind Regards, Jim
Hello Paul, This is our holiday which we shared with you. If you don't it I don't mind and I don't care. Out of 22,000 views, I have had two miserable people like you complain. I won't lose any sleep over that.
I have obviously come late to the party, can't believe I haven't stumbled across this before. A thoroughly captivating and enjoyable video. Just like when reading a great book, I think I'll stay up late for another chapter. Thank you.
We spent a week on a narrow boat holiday when I was a lad in the 1960s. I now live in the U.S. and this brought back some fond memories. Thank you.
So heart warming for a lovely long lady to take her Dad & Grandad on a gorgeous canal holiday . . . . . ;)
lovely young lady - not long!
What a gem, a beautifully told story, well shot and well told! A definite subscription. Thank you

Too funny!
Sorry, who is Jimmy Hendricks....just kidding!
Nice....but VERY side tracked. Wanted to see your narrowboat holiday not a life story.
You are entitled to your opinion Joe. Thank you
Hi Jon, watch Day 1 to Day 7 and see if you feel the same. I am sure you will enjoy it, Kind Regards, Jim
If it's a video about a narrowboat, holiday, then why spend the first 13 minutes just bragging about your other holidays which have no relevance?
