Single handing canal locks | Cruising my narrowboat in a heatwave [Ep 69]
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2022
- In this weeks video I continue my solo narrowboat journey through the Middlewich Locks and turn right onto the Wardle Canal and Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal. I was single handing my narrowboat in a heatwave through the locks but kept hydrated with ice cold drinks. The Rum Wench - my narrowboat also had her thirst quenched when the Fuel boat stopped to fill her with diesel once I was moored up.

Knowing when to moor up and say 'cheers' is a precious gift few people possess.
😂😂 cheers 🏴☠️🥃
Every time we watch you, you are the nicest and kindest person on here. Doesn’t matter how experienced or novice you treat all people the same that’s what we love about you xx
Awww bless you Dean, thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
As I write to you we have heard the news that our old dear Queen has passed away things will never seem the same, I know you can relate as like me you have never known any other monarch. Yanks cannot relate to our feeling at times like this many have little understanding of how we value the monarchy.She was a wonderful and kind woman who led by example and displayed the greatest love and respect for her subjects, she will be very sadly missed. Xx
Yes, it’s heartbreaking …. She was a true Legend ❤️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate unlike her son who I will never trust and his wife queen of tarts Camilla.
@UCjdoUyRr36V05pUnuWIZ5Sw they had Dianna snuffed out. Charles is like a spoilt brat if he had 1 ounce of decency he would step aside but he is such a moron he could put the monarchy at risk.
@@OBWanKenobi yep! People don't forget.
It was a sad time for her family and some of the wider population but I am a republican and do not support the monarchy in any form. It is time we retired the lot and had an elected head of state.
My deepest condolences to you and your country for the loss of the lovely Queen.
Thank you … it’s heartbreaking 💔
Hi Heidi and of course your talent for "Cheers" is known world wide. Love the cruise. Keith
Thanks Keith 😄🏴☠️
It can never be too warm 😂

Thanks Ronnie 😃🏴☠️
The Queen will be missed
She will indeed ❤️
Have I enjoyed it? 🤣 especially the rum at the end…I really like your humorous style and very informative at the same time! I’m an aspiring narrowboater and hope to be living on the water soon…thanks for sharing 😌🙏
Aww thanks so much for watching and hopefully see you on the water soon 😃🏴☠️
Love your music Heidi. "Flow Job" interesting title.
Thanks Greg 😃🎵🏴☠️
Absolutely gorgeous indeed. :-) Your vlog/videos are stupendous. Thank you.
Aww thanks Ann 🏴☠️😄
I was a whiskey drinker from time to time now I’m on the kraken 😂 I love the coffee one and I love your videos 👍🏻
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Oh praise the lord.. I thought it was just me that eat cold take out the following day 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Another great vlog Heidi, thank you
😂😂 I was starving hahaaaa
@@TheNarrowboatPirate cold pizza is an all time favourite of mine
Gosh I was curious how you handle things when you are alone, you definitely have it handled 😊 i thought it was cool when you ran to get your food bless your heart take good care❤ your friend from Orlando Florida Cindy
😊 thank you
Was saddened to hear about Queen Elizabeth passing
I know, it’s heartbreaking ❤️
Man! Heidi! That is such hard work. Those slimed up ladders just look dangerous! I wanted to climb thru the screen and do the locks for you! I loved that part of our nb adventure!
Awww thanks Jayne … And thanks so much for joining me on the locks 😄🏴☠️❤️
Sad to hear of Queen Elizabeth passing my condolences to all
Thank you, it’s a very sad day … I’ll be raising a glass of rum to her - legend!
Made me laugh when you hit the wall because I did that and I said bollocks. Ha ha. I like the 2 angles going up the jizzy ladder very good filming Mrs. Nearly 10k Mrs, Bloody deserve it. Take ever so very good lovely kind care Mrs. Thankyou and goodnight
Awww bless you Will … it’s that Insta360 camera I’ve got … I just plonk it on roof and it records 360 and I choose which bits to use but it’s a right faff to edit it all 😂😂
Just got home from my first physical therapy thingy and there you are. Pleasant break. Here the trees are turning golden. No frost yet. The music weekend was great. Played lots of music with many good musicians. A great bunch of people. Lots of dogggies to pet. Always great watching your videos.
Aww glad you had a great time and I hope the arm and shoulder are on the mend 😃🏴☠️
Thanks once again for the entertainment nice to cheer up on such a sad day
Thank you Kath ❤️🏴☠️
Gosh that looked really hot - the cold rum and orange was well deserved. Thanks for all you do to bring the canals to us, it's much appreciated. x
Thank you Derek 😃🏴☠️❤️
Sorry I'm late viewing - heat and smoke from fires in California USA have made it too hard to be in my office with the computer. Heidi ... You are a narrowboat pirate and you get what you need by fighting for it (doing your own locks - keeps you fit for doing pirating) or trading for it by sharing something you have (knowledge) for something you need (help with the locks). I totally love cruising with you. Glad you are being careful of yourself and staying hydrated - ever considered wearing a sun hat to shade your face. Don't forget to keep a wet towel on your shoulders when it is this hot. The climate has changed and we all have to adapt. Good cruising to you. Arghhhh!!!
Hey Glenna thanks for joining me for my cruise 😃🏴☠️ I wear a hat in the next video (I’m still editing it) wow them fires sound a bit scary 😕 thanks so much for watching 😃🏴☠️
Hi Heidi.
I should imagine it was the hot spell we had when you was cruising. I can imagine it is hard work in that heat.
That drink looked good with the orange.
Not a rum drinker but might have tried that.
Have a good weekend and take care . X
Yes it’s been a very hot year this year …. I love the hot weather but would rather be moored up enjoying it than cruising in it 😂 that orange was the only ice cold cans I had in the fridge - it was very thirst quenching 😂😂🏴☠️
Here's to a cooler few days. Your a legend for doing locks on your own. 🐝🐝
Aww thanks Becky 😃🏴☠️
Cheers 🍻
Cheers 😄🏴☠️
You work so hard you are an inspiration. Lovely video thank you 😊
Thanks very much 😃🏴☠️
Always love your videos and seeing the lovely countryside. You must get really tired at times doing locks single handed but good to see others along the way who are willing to help you. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe. Look forward to your next video. Cheers me dear!
Thanks Elizabeth 😃🏴☠️
Been watching your channel for a while, so done the right thing and pressed the subscribe channel, really lovely vlog, the mooring was so picturesque made better by a lovely drink🥃
Take care 😎☠👍
Aww thanks Tracy 😃🏴☠️
Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland
That;s It! Vlog 69 and I've completed my journey from the beginning of your videos. Absolutley fantastic. I'm so glad I found you. Thank you so much.
What an intersting cruise seeing how you managed single handed through locks. No wonder you're so fit. Ice cold Fanta and yesterdays Chinese - yummy yummy.
Isn't the Wardle Canal the shortest in the UK? Used as stop lock I think.
A fantastic cruise. Thanks for taking me along with you. Stay safe please
Yes Wardle is the shortest but it’s not a stop lock it’s just the length from the bridge to the lock in distance which is about 70 foot long 😂😂
My you do work hard 😓 tc
Thanks Ann, yeah this boating lark can be hard work especially while trying to run my little badge business and pirate boat business at the same time 😂😂🏴☠️ I love it though 🏴☠️
While we have binge watched all your vlogs I just realised we had liked but not commented. After 50 years of travelling and camping, with a combined age of 171 years we have resorted to armchair travelling. We enjoy your channel immensely as it shows a lifestyle we haven’t experienced in Tasmania nor even Australia. Wow the locks were deep in today’s vlog and in the heat hard work. Oh! Never thought of orange with our rum. Thank you for your continued posts. Take Care.
Aww thanks for commenting guys and all the watching it really means a lot 😃🏴☠️ I only had the orange as it was the only ice cold drink I had in the fridge - it was very refreshing 😂🏴☠️
Great video …so sorry to hear about the queen of England’s passing safe travels ❤
Yes it’s very very sad … she was legendary ❤️
Thanks!
Thank you Janis 😃🏴☠️
Great video Heidi
Thank you Liz 😃🏴☠️
Hey Heidi it's nice to see you enjoying the warm weather I don't know what you've done the video quality this week was absolutely fantastic.😀
I’ve no idea it was still the same iPhone and go pro 😂 maybe because it was a bright day hahaa thank you 🏴☠️
Thank you for my Friday morning fix. A lovely way to start the day. Have a great week. JRS
Aww thank you …. You have a great week too 😃🏴☠️
Another cracking Vlog - (I used to be WB, well still am but this is my writing channel). Next-day Chinese is second only to a bacon butty in terms of scrumptiousness. That said remove all traces of Lock-Jism before consuming food.
Yes of course … I don’t want to get that in my mouth 😂😂😄
@@TheNarrowboatPirate there's no shame in spitting...😉
Hi Heidi ,you're looking good despite the heat. Don't complain too much it will get cold soon enough. I'm late again this week as I've had a busy day INR test this morning ,luckily the clinic is very near and the result was excellent so don't have to go for another month. Picked up my new glasses ,sad to say they aren't the Gin and tonic type.This afternoon the wife and I drove to Sussex a Dairytown about 35 miles away, they have a big hot air balloon festival for the first time for two years because of Covid. You can buy a ride if you're brave. I just like to see them above the green countryside, they are all brightly coloured and in al kinds of shapes too. They also have a huge Flea Marketa ,Funfair and lots of Food trucks but as it was warm 25c we just had a chocolate dipped soft ice cream. After driving home I got ready to go to a big reception in the Hilton, lots of nibbles but the Bar prices were through the roof so I just had a local beer. Just got home and watched your vlog .Another nice one darlin, I see your numbers are going up nicely you should be at 10k before Christmas, good to see the Patreon list growing too and the rum keeps flowing all good to see.. Haven't seen any Drone shots lately, is it lost or broken hon?
Well I've got nought more to say so I'll end here l uv.
Take care stay as cool as you always are even when its hot .
Luvz ya lots XXX
Oh wow Ralph that hot air balloon show sounds amazing 😃🏴☠️ I’m so glad your INR test was good and you have some new glasses even though they not the drinking kind 😂😂 take care Ralph and see you over on the Patreon page 😃❤️🏴☠️
We finally got to 69...! I had the pleasure of talking to you and Paul outside salt museum a few weeks back. Got to say, you are just as entertaining off camera. Are you taking her up the Llangollen ? Ooh mrs...its just i volunteer for canal boat trust who operates trips from Trevor basin. Taking disabled folk on trips across the frontyc...vront...that big aquaduct thing...Come and see us, i posted a link but YT dont allow links on comments. Loved the vlog on Wooden Boat society and wondered if you like to see what us old farts do
Awww Norman I would love to see what you old farts do, but I won’t be taking it up the golly until Oct/Nov time as I’m going to spend winter on there 😃🏴☠️
Hiedi, Kraken and Fanta, SACRILEGE. On a serious note, has the Plague screwed up your taste buds. Also I don't know any one personally that's suffered from it! Love the shot of the ladder climb, not a wide angle lense required. Wot a result Chissium an a excepted. Much Love xx
😂😂 it was the only ice cold cans I had in the fridge! It’s was very refreshing 😂🏴☠️
Nothing like cold takeaway on hot days, hope you are using sunscreen =-) Great vlog I love sitting watching exercise videos lol. Take care. =-)
😂😂 have a fabulous day Lorraine 🏴☠️
Cheers, I’m having wine🥂
Cheers! 😄🏴☠️🥃
Nice one Heidi. Already that hot weather seems an age ago. Keep smiling. Stephen ❤️
Thanks Stephen 😄🏴☠️
Hi Heidi. A quirky vlog, as always, and I love quirky. I just had a look on the Black Country Boating Festival website (it's this coming weekend) and by a roundabout route ( no, not the the Curley Wyrley!) found myself on the CRT site and looking at the cost of boating licences. Blimey, it costs quite a bit for a trading licence doesn't it, and even more expensive when you have to pay for a boaters licence as well. And the continuous cruising rules-well, I bet somebody in an office had nothing better to do one rainy afternoon and came up with that lot! Keep up the good work, love Mike.
Yes it’s the Black Country … I’ve done a lot of them in the past… a fantastic festival ❤️ luckily we only need the traders license not both but we do then have to get additional insurance and public liability but yes the continuous cruising rules still apply however we do get an extra day either side on a 48hr is we are trading thankfully 😃🏴☠️
Fair play. I struggled doing 3 locks in that heatwave and I had help.
Hats off to you girl. X
The pint of rum at the end made up for it 😂😂🏴☠️
Hope this buys you a cool drink 🍸.
Aww thanks Mark 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate You're more than welcome.
So many canals with water shortages, it is worse than winter trying to negotiate the planned stoppages.
I know, it’s a nightmare 😩
Rum n Fanta..new one on me...glug !
Hahaha it was the only ice cold cans I had in the fridge 😂😂
4:57 Bollocks 🤣
In the immortal words of Sid Vicious " Never Mind The Bollocks "
😂😂
Hopefully those HOT late summer days will give way to a long, pleasant autumn 🍂🍁 Cheers
I know, I’m freezing today 😂😂🏴☠️
Sorry to hear that you are still experiencing a heat issue. Hope you get better weather soon. Be well and stay safe.
Thanks Mark 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate You're welcome.
Fanta and rum - is that not a capital offence?!🤣
😂😂
Please raise a glass or goblet to our wonderfully dear Queen Elizabeth the second, an amazing woman and I doubt any other Monarch will reach 70 years on the thrown. She was my Queen as I was born in March 1953 and was given a silver £5,00 coin to commemorate that wonderful day. 😢❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
Aww yes, it’s so sad - such a legend ❤️
I'm just amazed... that you didn't make any reference to this being your 69th video (woo hoo) !
I know … I didn’t know it was until I made it 😂😂
‘Just wet the lips’ she said, taking a couple of big swigs on that drink. Haha, which lips are you trying to wet? 😂
😂😂 it was bloody hot, I needed to quench my thirst 😂🏴☠️
Hi Heidi,so that’s how you enter a lock crash bang wallop nice one ,yes the water levels are dangerous low ok we had a little rain but no wear enough,it’s so nice when people help you in a lock yes it’s hard work on your own but a fit bird like you not Problem lol 😂 hehe 🙃 how is Jackie keeping and pudding is ok bless him .you not going all the way well I never lol 😂 that was a bit lucky the fuel boat coming along what is the price of diesel from a fuel boat it must be hard to earn a living selling fuel ⛽️.Well sweetheart great blog till next time take care keep yourself safe,John 😂🤝🌹🌹👀🙏🙏👏🫶🥵🥵🥵😍
I’m seeing Puddin and Jax soon, Puddin is doing very well so will be fabulous to see him 😄🏴☠️ Unfortunately Diesel and coal have gone up a lot this year but we need them 😩 it’s going to be a tough winter for a lot of people especially house dwellers as their electric has gone up a lot too 🏴☠️
My bro in law lives in Middlewich, runs the Kinderton pub. Can be hard work locks on ya own Heidi, u deserve that slurp at the end, cheers Slurpy Dave, IOM👍🍺😊
Awww thanks Dave, it’s a fabulous pub that 😃🥃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate its a bit posh for me heidi🤣👍
@@SlurpyDave254 😂😂
Thank you for another amazing video Heidi, that drink was very well deserved. Great tips too hope to join you very soon...not you in particular but I suspect I'm going to be like yourself and a baptism by fire straight into a winter on a boat take care and great scenery :)
Awww Brian you will love it, just take it slowly and everything will be ok 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate thanks for the encouragement Heidi 😃 I was hoping to avoid going straight into a winter but remembered you and your Dad did the same with your first boat and it looked like so much fun in the rain :) but just going to have my dog as first mate haha....all the best.
rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II
❤️
Love all of your unauthodox vlogs! However, just bought my first bottle of Kracken Rum as a birthday present. It'd better be good!
If you don’t like it, I’ll drink it 😂😂 happy birthday 🏴☠️
Hi Jim. I can confirm that Kraken is good, VERY good, but much too good to only have on birthdays! Regards, Mike.
Great Vlog, thank you, you are amazing how you do the lot on your own xx
Aww thank you … I have to otherwise I would get anywhere 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate That is true 🤣🤣🤣
...perhaps I should stay in the marina. I guess they're called locks for a reason!
Nooooo get yourself on the canals, they are beautiful and locks are easy as long as you go slow and take your time 😃🏴☠️
Young pirates are drinking Fanta all the time, however you are the first one being recorded! Clever move with the bridge hole to quickly pick up your Chinese, you're a real pickup artist, hahaha!
😂😂 it was the only cans I had in the fridge … they were gorgeous ice cold in 30 degree heat 😂
Thanks
Thanks Martyn 😄🏴☠️
Wow still no rain. We finally got ours last week 1 1/2" at the beginning of the week and again at the end. Hope you get yours soon. Looks like it was drier there than here.
Take care and thanks for the video. Later.
I’m behind with the videos …. I record a load of footage then it takes me ages to edit them so this was about 2-3 weeks ago. I tend to edit Monday and Tuesdays as I’m cruising, making badges and trading as the Pirate boat the rest of the time 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate No need to worry. Take your time and relax it doesn't have to be a do or die thing. You can even skip a week or two if you want. Hell you were sick one week and still had a video. Take some time for yourself. I'm sure others think the same as me. Later.
Hehe I might take a week off in the future to be honest …. The next couple of weeks footage is sitting on memory cards in a drawer for me to try to make into a video next week … I need to get more organised but I don’t want to be right up to date as people will know where my boat is if I go my mums for tea 😂😂
Another great video young lady, but cold Chinese ! .needs must i suppose, 😁❤👍
😂😂 I was Hank Marvin 😂
good vid
Thanks Lee 😄🏴☠️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
😄🏴☠️
Notice the exhaust on your boat and wondered if you ever suffer from the fumes heading your way.
Ahoy, no it’s only the same as having one right where I’m standing I suppose 😄
I still like the accent.
Cheshire 😄🏴☠️
Is this your favourite video Heidi? 😜
😂😂😂
i just made it to video 69! wahaaaaayyeee!!! 😛
Whey haaaaaaay 😃🏴☠️
We know that Puds isn’t able to be a boat dog anymore but I miss seeing Jax too. I was thinking about them because for some reason I just realized you haven’t anything to keep you company onboard anymore. Do you ever think about getting another pup to keep you company?
I’ve not seen Jax and Puddin for about 6 weeks … they are due a visit, I really miss little Puddin - he was onboard with me for 6 years, but thankfully I get photos on what’s app 😃🏴☠️
Hey I had a kitty that was with me for 18yrs. She was the longest continuous relationship in my life at that point so I absolutely understand missing what is essentially your child. The great thing is that the gods sent me another little girl kitty that is truly amazing. I have Multiple Sclerosis and a badly broken back so I’m usually in a lot of pain, I have a few things that help the pain but the best is my Kacey Kitten especially at night. If the pain I’m having gives me trouble sleeping she will climb on my chest and I stroke her back taking my mind off of the pain for a bit, sometimes I swear my other love Emmylou sent Kacey to take care of me. Oh the other thing I use to avert my attention from the pain is I watch Narrowboat vlogs. Watching you all glide through that outstandingly beautiful British countryside being entertained by such amazingly lovely people like yourself and a relaxes me. Your that friend that takes me away from the desert heat and all of the pain and you’ve got that bawdy sense of humor that as a drag nun I TOTALLY LOVE ❤️
Bless you Heidi!

Hi Heidi
It's been mad weather on the water this week hasn't it ?
Wednesday at noon I was at Barnton Cut in pure sunshine
yesterday thunder and belting down rain and steaming up
the cockpit now I'm in Northwich overstaying Barons Quay
A lot of narrowboats are stuck down with the lift being out
I was told by one bloke that the CRT haven't been checking
but its fair to budge off to let other boaters get shopping etc
I went home by train to fumigate and to get some fresh clothing
after being covered in shite myself wet ropes mud and sweaty
heading back today 0643 to Chester and the 0802 to Northwich
It's nice down there on the Middlewich branch of the "Shroppie"
are you heading for the Llangollen when you get to Barbridge ?
There should be help on hand at Grindley Brook staircase if so
Have a good cruise it's always great to see you
and I like listening to your pistons and injectors
Enjoy !
Awww are you planning on doing the ship canal ? I know a lot of boats have …. I wouldn’t want to be on the Weaver over winter to be honest 😫
@@TheNarrowboatPirate
NO I just sold it to a bloke in Northwich the little 21 foot Shetland
sorry to see my little runabout go like any boat but a cruiser is just a
headache in winter unless you can haul it out and store it sheltered
and there's outboard care ice and frost and unable to go anywhere
Now concentrating on the (remaining) canals and narrowboat again
The Weaver will always be special to me since boyhood on there and
I'll be back down there next year when the damn lift is hopefully fixed
Sunrise Northwich to Acton Bridge after another coffee at Barnton
waiting for the lockie to start at Saltersford - then more countryside
It's boss getting up before daylight freshening up coffee & crumpets
heading off like creeping away stealthily a nice quiet four stroke OB
while other boaters around you are still asleep with wood burners on
and cruising gently as the sun rises and a low foggy dew mist slowly
disappears not another person on the water anywhere it's ghostly with
all that history and ICI era skeletons around Anderton and Winnington
Then turning a bend after the old river weirs and into pure countryside
looking behind where you've just been with the rear canopy window up
and a gentle backwash two side sections rolled up to listening to ripples
made by your bow wave and seeing herons statue like all along the way
with the sudden dramatic contrasts of huge disused quays and bollards
then cows sheep birds foxes squirrels horses in fields and endless trees
So sometimes it can be fun on a cruiser I've been on the Manchester Ship
canal years ago from Ellesmere Port I haven't been while the lift is out and
I have a secure mooring only live two rail stations away from Acton Bridge
then bus or bike the train takes 18 minutes after 20 minutes to the station
Yeah I wouldn't mind doing that other way around journey on a narrowboat
The Weaver is magic to me is full of voices especially Vale Royal to Dutton
Cheers :)
Have you thought of using a rechargeable impact driver with a socket on it for winding the gates up and down?
With the amount of windlasses I’ve dropped in the cut over the years it probably wouldn’t be worth it 😂🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Your dad could make you a strap/harness for it,so it hangs from our neck and shoulder.The li ion batteries last for ages,probaly get 5/6 locks outof one charge.
😎
😎🏴☠️
Heidi Is it the Wardle canal which is the shortest canal in the UK.? Cheers
Yes it’s just from the bridge to the lock …. About 50 yards 😂
And how is pudding doing you haven't said anything about him for while
Speak to you soon From Chris
He is doing great, I haven’t seen him for a while but spoke to Jakki on the phone and he is well 😃🏴☠️
More pudding please? I've eaten my meat! 😉🙏🏴🙏
Pour a rum 🥃🏴☠️
Got any of that Chinese left? - I'm starving ...
No I ate it all 😂😂
Oo you greedy thing 😁
Episode 69….
Should wear a sundress for the ladder ascents..😉😘😛😜
😂😂😂
EXPLAIN “LOCK JISEM.
Slimey stuff on locks
Hi Heidi, I watched a video where you brought a security cemera, can you advise me what one you got please.
Ahoy there.. I put a link in the video description to it all on that video … I can’t share links in this comment section unfortunately
@@TheNarrowboatPirate ahoy there lol.... What's the video called please? Great videos by the way x
@@rjmitchell5128 it’s number 68 … you will be able to access it from the playlist as they are all in order
@@TheNarrowboatPirate thank you Rum Wench.
i had a chinese last night my wife wasnt best pleased lol JOKE

Haha now now hidie 🤣

Hmm... doesn't rum negate the "sugar free?" Or is that just the molasses byproduct? Fun-fact: 21 people once died in Boston by drowning in molasses.
😂😂 it was ice cold and very refreshing 😂😂
PLEASE
Sunshine? What's that?
😂😂
How big fuel tank ?
About 150 litres
Ah 39 gallons lol
When do you find time for yourself, being singlehanded?! So much to do.
I’m constantly knackered 😂😂
Woo Hoo made it to 69 🤣🤣🤣

69! 🤣

Russia is putting the screws to your diesel prices. You shouldn't have to continuously for a while until the UK figures out a solution.
I need to move for water etc anyway and I do love a new view every few days 😄🏴☠️
There isn't a solution.
