Travels by Narrowboat - "Spring Has Sprung" - S08E03

- čas přidán 24. 03. 2022
- Join Aslan and I as we leave our mooring at Dutton on the Trent & mersey Canal, and continue south towards our next overnight stop, at Marston.
Along the way we pass through two dark, damp and twisty tunnels - Saltersford and Barnton. Fortunately this time, I remember to turn the light on and wear the correct glasses.
Travelling through Anderton and passed it's world-famous boat lift, we eventually arrive at the service point - where I fill Aslan's water tank, dispose of some rubbish, and empty the toilet.
A little later we moor up at Marston, where I stay for the night.

UK canals...a national treasure.
YAY another video from Kevin and Aslan!!!!! My soul is once again at peace. I get to listen to that beautiful chug.
It is very calming!
YES! I really truly and honestly and utterly appreciate Kevin's determination to bring us new episodes every week. I look forward to Fridays like never before. Thanks, Kevin!
Yes very injoyable thank you , I too like the chug
You were born to do this. You have found your calling and (once again) found yourself. Very fortunate to watch from my chair in Michigan. Ta.
Aslan’s song is beautiful, what an engine basically, great tune.
A person who travels solo on a narrowboat must be reasonably fit and healthy. You do a lot of physical work!
Indeed Maya, it's a great way to be out in nature, hands on, walking, pushing, pulling and so on.
Love house cleaning day…when it’s done! We got into our car and drove a mile to the sports complex to do our 30 min power walk around the soccer fields. You get to get your exercise shopping, topping off water, empting trash and toilet. Ihope after that kind of day you treat yourself to a good meal, cup of tea, and put your feet up and recall thel lovely sights of cruising down a beautiful canal.
Kevin, my wife and I enjoy your videos. It is obvious that you take pride in your work product. Thank you for taking the time and care to ensure we are able to share your exploits as though we were there on Aslan with you. We are looking forward to being whisked away on this new journey. Fred and Sandy in Ohio.
Thank you for that Fred and thank you for watching.
Love the sound of the engine chugging along….great views along the way sunny too…..
Thanks for that and good to hear you enjoyed watching.
"Scrub that!" Ha, ha. Nice nautical touch. Catching up on three videos this afternoon. Very pleasing.
Cheers Richard. Yes you'll find I often change my plans on a whim. Usually through no choice though. :)
That was so enjoyable, thanks Kevin. You had a lovely day for it, and the tunnels were a breeze. Some lovely scenery too, and I love seeing the ducks. 💕 I’m doing catch-up on your videos as I have been preoccupied with painting my outdoor chair, trying out my new Rollator and knitting a jumper for my own Kevin, who turned 62 recently. Being 87, one has to pace oneself! 😂 Oh yes, and editing my poetry book, ready for the printers - well, nearly! 📖 See you again soon.
You're very welcome Connie and pleased to hear you're enjoying the videos. Best wishes with your book,
Yay CHG! I loved the bit where you wrote, "Scrub that" when you found that mooring. I couldn't agree more. When you find that mooring, it's 50/50, stay or go, and then that shot with those beautiful taut mooring ropes. Lovely. Perfect cup of tea time. I think you're gonna have a bumper 2022. Good. Why not. I think you have a lot of people who are thinking of you and care about you. That's a treasure. Big love.
Indeed Peter, he who hesitates and all that and rarely is there something better around the corner. Very true, feels different this time round and a definite buzz in the air on CZcams.
Great you found a place for the night.
That one dog looked like he was herding Aslan along the canal!
Thank you for cruising without musical accompaniment....love the sounds of the boat and what's going on around you. Your opening song is just fine👍👍👍👍
Cheers Diana. Yes, I never put music with the travel videos, with one or two exceptions and of course, the theme tune.
Just nice to watch and relax with. Especially with Aslan chugging along happily.
Love the boat lift. My grandparents lived in Northwich and my mum used to take me there a lot in the summer 👍🏻👍🏻
What a beautiful day you had for travels. Beautiful shots. May the spring sun stay high and warm on your face. -Cheers from Seattle.
Thanks Ann. Yes plenty of sun please. Does wonders for the old brain.
Thank you for sharing your adventures, and for teaching me something new (wich meaning salt).
It sent me down a fascinating rabbit hole regarding the history of salt production in that area.
The different methods for extracting the salt that were used throughout history etcetera.
I’ve learnt about Lumpmen and Wallers and Lofters.
This canal is one of the most perfect places for yourself and Aslan to be - near the Lion Salt Works 🙂
The Lion the Wich
& the Waller - a very salty tale.
Ok.....
i’m going to shut up now. 🤣
Thanks again and all the best.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
I like it 😆
@@CountryHouseGent
🙂
at the @17:49 ish mark.... 🐕 😂. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your life with us.
YAHOO YOUR BACK IN THE CANAL
Relaxing viewing.
I think I would get nowhere quickly on a narrowboat...every time you chug past the odd branch in water, I want to 'pull to the side, get out and lug it out of the way for someone else!" That dog made me think of a sports practice where you tap a spot and then run, tap and then return...except no idea what the dog was chasing after!
I'm so pleased that you haven't given up your windlass (unlike others I could mention). Keep up the good work Kev.
Thank you Nigel. Yep, more to come.
Good to see your vlog again Kevin.
Good camera shots and the chug chug of Aslan is great.
Hope your keeping well.
Take great care.
Keep safe warm dry and virus free.
Thank you as always. Very well here. Cheers for watching.
THANKS AGAIN KEV'.
16:14 wow that kitty had a long life. Quite the array of boats in this vlog! As always thank you so much for sharing with us.
Yes he/she surely did. Made me think at the time of my old furry friend, god rest his soul. 🙂
I really appreciate Kevin's ability to capture these kinds of details in his videos, it makes me take the time to reflect on life, including the kitties I have known.
Noticed that as well !
We have just finish watching series 6 loved every minute of it. Thank you
I'm delighted to hear that Jeanne. Many thanks for watching.
Pure existentialism at its finest, Kevin. There’s something extremely satisfying watching you enjoying the simple things in life, aboard the time machine that is Aslan As you travel along at “walk-speed”, life reverts from a blur to a tranquil water colour of nature and history, with a good dash of humour.
Just perfect 👍🏻
Very nicely put Peter, thank you. Yes, you see the subtle details in things at a slower pace.
@@CountryHouseGent 🙏🏻😊
I love your sense of humor - especially that you can laugh at yourself. Thanks for making me LOL at work - I'm sure my team thinks I'm crazy. If they ask - I'm blaming you! :D
Beautiful day for boating!
Yes fabulous today Suzanne. The past 2 weeks in fact, but today was the best this year.
Why is it that the chugg, chugg, chugg, of the motor just makes me relax ?
Zzzzzzzzzzz !
Er, Wot ? Nearly dozed off there and missed a bit !
Casual Happy Grafting, down the cut, to a ..... Whoops, nearly missed it, mooring point.
Loved every minute of it !
See you next time !
Tararabit !
Stu xx
Many thanks Stu.
Love it, totally addictive viewing. Nice one Kev. Keep 'em coming mate.
A pleasure, TC. Cheers,
Your Moor Hen was a coot...
Good to see you moving. Kev.
Just great to see you back travelling again Kevin. You met a mate of mine Lee who insisted on a selfie with you, thanks for being patient with him! Good luck and safe journeys matey.
Cheers Baan. No worries, always happy to chat with viewers.
good vid on the cut keep up the good vid thanks lee
Hi Kevin great to see you out and about. John.
Chug chug chug. Ahhh... If you fancy a river, you might like the Nene - it's sedate pace would suit Aslan I reckon 👍
It's taking it's time to spring this year
It sure is Pam. Just hoping the strong winds and rain will be rewarded soon with a long run of warm, sunny and dry weather.
Thank you Kevin a nice one.
Nice to see you are cruising again and still take great video.
Good morning from Florida
Glad to see you again. Gals you learned from last tunnel to be more prepared so you can have a great experience.
Half you didn’t hang around the Marina for 3 more months. Really enjoy the scenery in your videos, they show so much history.
Keep up the life. I look forward to the next one 👍
spring has sprung, the grass has rizz, I wonder how my spar plugs is! haha
What a differance 14 days made 336 hours little hours and now it's ruddy (no pun, rudder!) cold !!! Having a pasty (homemade/baked) have switched to shortcrust pastry as my dear Dad used to make them along with the apple pie, but that's a different story. Oh the memories of a latter time (not the apple pie nor the pasties) but the memories of your trip so far. Preston Brook tunnel many memories and visiting the pub at Preston Brook which is now a spar shop and walking the length of the tunnel albeit on the top of to the next pub. I Recall your first tunnel experience and I was very anxious even though I was watching it and not actually physically being there but the claustrophobia of it did have a nervous effect on me, so well done with the tunnels Kevin.
Hi Kevin. Great to see that you’re up in the Northwich area. It’s amazing that some of those salt mines are so big that they use them as underground storage of documents and even as Gas storage. Take care. Nick
Cheers Nick. Now that's something I'd like to visit.
I got to hear your ooga horn several times in this vlog. Just can't get enough of it.
Love your vlogs Kevin. The perfect anecdote to the stresses of life
It’s always FriYAYyy when Kev posts another video! Great job as usual! It’s about Time for another cooking segment “Cooking with Kev” don’t ya think?!!!
Lovely, but that moore hen was a coot lol 😂
nice little run out kev. please keep them coming need your down to earthness at the moment.
Will do Alan. Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice to see you, again!
So glad to hear that lovely sound again =)
Omg I love your klaxon, it has to be the best horn on the whole canal network I want a C.H.G style klaxon for every day working life when I'm being pestered 😂 😂 😂
the king of the canal return
Ah too kind Tony, but I shall accept the honor nonetheless. 👑😁
Another super vid Kevin,and great weather for traveling and filming , as always superb quality, nice to see you on the T& M, thank you once again and keep safe.....mike
Cheers for watching, Mike
Lovely marsh hen. Wish we had lots of canals in the US.
Thank you for another episode of “Canal Therapy”- much appreciated. Loving the slow pace and peaceful scenery. 😌
Agreed it is rather therapeutic. 🙂
Thanks for this!
Thanks for the video
Always enjoy your vlogs.
Great videos, nice to see you and Aslan cruising again. Be safe.
Thanks 👍
Top video 😊
Good to see you doing your thing 👍
Great to be doing it Roger, cheers,
Amazing the number of boats that need a lot of TLC……..
+1 for the Terminator quote. Cheers mate
WhenCountryHouseGent
sings we in town get a lot of wildlife.
You are getting close to my neck off the woods Kevin , on the Trent and Mersey spent my childhood playing around the Trent and Mersey and the Macclesfield canal where they meet up at kidsgrove , we used to call the Trent and Mersey the orange canal as kids owing to the iron oxide that leached into it mostly from the original Harcastle tunnel . I will keep my eye out , it would be so funny seeing you . Anyway if you need anything when passing through Let me know Staffordshire oatcakes are always a winner . Glad you are back on the move mate . Ps there is now a very handy Lidl shop at the intersection of Liverpool road and second avenue , if you tie up just before the lock that is between the canal tavern and the bluebell public house , that’s the last lock before the harecastle tunnel , it’s just a 30 second walk from the bridge if you look left with the tavern in front of you .
Hi I love your travel logs, thought of you while recently in Dublin and crossed a narrow boat canal with a lock.
Thinking this form of travel isn't on my bucket list now. You take care and be blessed. P.
Kev...pass the wich !
Watching happily and enjoying a cuppa! In North Texas, wishing I was there!
Same from Florida
Spent the last 3 days in bed moaning with the man flu lol. Today I feel much better, and there is a new episode to watch with my coffee. Happy days!
Oh I can sympathise Bryan. I don't care what the opposite sex says, Man Flu is a menace. Great to hear you're on the mend.
FANTASTIC. Thanks for the escape for 30 minutes. Looking forward to the next episode.
So good to see you on the water again, and that tunnel light is the bee’s knee’s .
Me thinks that Moorhen was actually a Coot. Moorhen has an orange beak with yellow tip whilst the Coot's beak is white. Here in Suffolk they tend to get called Water Hens 🤔
Yes Bob, I stand corrected. Cheers for the info.
Beat me to it :)
A Friday afternoon treat!
I know what you mean Mike. I was the same with Top Gear and Star Trek. 🙂
@@CountryHouseGent omg top gear and star trek almost used to be like a religious appointment 😂 sadly both have gone down hill lately
Like everwhere else, some places on the canal are lovely and others not so much. The little RIP painting of their cat was so sweet. Thanks for showing it.
What a Beautiful day for you to take us on Cruise. Thanks again Kevin.
It’s great how you manage to capture how relaxing narrow boating is. At the helm with a cuppa. Nothing better. Now a subscriber.👍🏆🇬🇧
Thank you Senna. Welcome aboard.
You were pretty nervous in your first tunnel, the Husbands Bosworth Tunnel. When you exited I believe your words were " I didn't enjoy that one bit, but I've done it. What the hell, did I just run over someone" Classic CHG.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Endured the tunnel, then ran over something (or someone). 😬
very nice vlog
Aah, wiggly tunnels can have a timed entry. Always learn something watching these vids.
Back out again. I love it, and I would move aboard a narrowboat just to hear the sound of that engine. I don’t think there are many boats like Aslan out there. Until I find one like him that comes with a reasonably content roommate that knows how to work on an engine and the boat like you do, I will continue to live vicariously through you.
I was fiddling about on my IPad when up came a Friday night treat in this miserable world right now. No good news in any direction, so lovely to get away from it all on a narrow boat. Nothing like messing about in boats……………that was adventurous and amusing and I am all relaxed again now. What a great start you have made. A good omen.
Happy to offer some respite Rikki. Yes couldn't have asked for things to go more smoothly.
Loved this. Just started watching about a month ago and you are wonderful. I am your newest fan. Thank you
Thank you Candy and welcome aboard.
Hey Kevin, Great to see you back again. Just a point of bird order :- 08.50. Not a Moorhen, it was a Coote!
Cheers Tim. Yes you're quite correct. 🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed riding long the K&A, seeing the sights, listening to Aslan and your commentary, plus bits of wry humor, going through the tunnels with the light on, and thinking about your cup of tea as I ready my next one. It is fantastic how good you feel about cruising again and that you’re sharing it with us! Thank you so much!
Another great vlog keven
Awww I think that dog wanted to go with you.
Yes I think if I'd been closer he'd have leapt onboard.
Awesome video Kevin. It's always refreshing to see the earth wake up after the doldrums of winter.
My favourite time of year, Way. New beginnings and giving winter the old heave ho.
@@CountryHouseGent Mine as well. Here in the US, we are now on Daylight Savings Time. We now get more daylight which is an added bonus.
Well Kevin, think of it this way, that fall would have killed a lesser man. As far as the lights are concerned, possibly you were haunted by a memory from Mom, "Kevin, if your not using that damn light, shut it off!" Now that was a pleasant trip, thanks.
Arghh, don't remind me. PTSD and all that. 😉 For me it was mainly closing doors behind you. 😬😁
Fantastic Vlog ! You are the only one that I watch who actually slows down to tick over when passing moored or other boats . I commend you on being a real boater . STAY SAFE
Thank you for that Michael. I do it cos I know what it's like having someone tearing by - and I kinda hope the courtesy will be reciprocated. Still waiting. :D
Great vid Kev, love the effort you put in to show all the practical stuff that needs to be done i.e. elsan, water etc. FYI that water bird was a coot that you called a moorhen. Remember that if it has a red nose it's a moorhen, and a white nose it's a coot. I used to make the same mistake, just saying :)
😃 great vlog just cuz you and Aslan are under way again. Life is just a little bit better. I enjoy your humor and can't wait till you cook again. Safe travels and Godspeed. Tx 🇺🇲
I have watch lots of others that have no commentary to explain what or where and find them very boring
On my commute home and I’ll look forward to it on the big screen this evening 👍
Good video very relaxing
Wow-Kevin-just really enjoying your travels again, your weekly new vlogs are such a source of complete relaxation. Thanks for sharing-you’re a treasure on CZcams!
Another gentle ride along with Kevin ;-) - Thank you
Very nice seeing all the scenery and the interesting architecture along the way. I'm sorry some people haven't picked up on why you did what you did. It seemed perfectly clear and reasonable to me the first time you explained it. 🙂
Kevin, it was so nice to be cruising, again! I love the pace and the diversity you capture in your videos. Especially the pace!!! At my age I'm no hurry to move on.
Wonderful to be out cruising with you again. Thanks Kevin.
Another great video😄love watching them. Any chance you can make them longer 🙂 28 minutes fly by when I enjoy them.
Cheers. I could make them longer but historically, 25 to 30 minutes is about right for CZcams. Any longer and the majority of viewers 'turn over'. Plus there's the fact that a longer video takes longer to produce, so means less videos, less often.
