I recently got to have a wonderful visit with the lovely David from Cruising The Cut we started at Stone (the first day I arrived we went through to the other side of stone and the heavens opened and you can see that in Davids video • 190. A Special Guest a... ) I this video is of the next day cruising through Barlaston, Stoke-On-Trent and out the other side to Milton.
there are lots of interesting canal things I haven't seen often: single locks, stop planks, staircase locks and a swing bridge.
do enjoy the trip!
A Massive Thank you to David for hosting me on his lovely boat!

You got him to smile. He never smiles on his own videos.
hes very serious!
@@ThisNarrowboatAdventure You can tell, there was no badger in his
think david just had wind lol
I noticed that!!🥰
@@simoncoldrick8508 😂😂
The sparkle in your eyes give the hint of your inner child!
the inner child is strong in me for sure, but I tried to hold it together for david!
Very sweet Jasmin. Great to finally see an animated David, laughing and all that sort of stuff. Dare I say it, you make a nice couple.
Hmmmm... they both are eyeing the same house as their dream home. I call that a match made on the canal.
A great collaboration.
I liked all the joy you find in the things along the way like playing, I mean, OPERATING the bridge. Very life affirming.
👍on including the dead badger 🤣
thanks martin
Heh, I've never seen David smile like that. You're cool beans, Jasmin.
As opposed to a baked beans ;)
I have come over from Cruising the Cut.
Now I have subscribed to two great YT canalboat channels.
Hi I came here from David's channel.
So did I

Me 2
Me too!

I have seen your videos before (and you at a couple 'boat-tubers' meetings) but I've just subscribed after seeing you graciously help out poor, pitiful David navigate those locks and bridges.
hahaha.....wanted: partner to share life on the canals. Must have own boat :)
Isn't that what the butty is for? :-)
@@hamshackleton Indeed, for when you get banished to the "spare bedroom" ... and from memory, for absolutely no reason whatsoever known to "man", accent on gender.
I remember Ross'es comment as a child, hehehe. just moved onto a narrow-boat from a 3 bedroom house, removed clutter & thing's I didn't rely need, so much happier (also I now waking up with out headache's as a bonus)!
@@MrVinnyh You got that right brother 😂!
... send picture of boat ...
It's good that you showed some footage of David also picking the damsons - he's getting a lot of stick on his own channel for (apparently) not helping you !! It's also a shame that neither of you remembered the boat hook that was I understand on the roof hidden under the solar panels
- doh !! 😎😲
Always fun to watch 2 views of the same events. Thanks!
(That said: _Lift_ bridge. :)
or probably more correctly , bascule bridge. but it is unclear if this one has a counter balance (there is some stricture but the balance weight is lost behind trees) ... or just the brute force of hydraulics.
Richard Benjamin I can accept that, though I suspect regional usage is probably the guiding factor. :)
@@MrLampbus Bascule?! Methinks you are comparing this with Tower Bridge in old London Tahn.
Lift bridges on canals aren't really Bascule type bridges at all.
You need a massive, fixed, counter weight for it to be a true bascule bridge. The two for Tower Bridge are under the towers, concealed in vast chambers; bound to be a YT video somewhere.
Canal lift bridges are a slightly different design. Google is your friend. Basically the bridges are held open by "you" pulling down on a chain, essentially "you" are the counter weight. Or you can hook the chain onto a ground anchor.
Interestingly the chain is, usually, on the non towpath side which makes single handed boating a bit "interesting" ...
Some single handed boaters lift, (not raise, to be pedantic) the bridge and prop it open with the pole (used for punting). The pole is pulled out once the boat has passed under the bridge. Often the bridge just crashes down on the bridge landing ...
The southern part of the Oxford is a case in point.
Btw, hydraulic lift bridges are something of a rarity ... on the grounds chain bridges need a lot less maintenance.
Ross Kneebone Wikipedia is pretty generous in how it defines a bascule bridge, which is why I was willing to accept it. :)
@@baitcommajail Oh, alright then.
Then of course there always "Bascule the rascal" ... you can always "bank" on that.
Yes I know, I was deffo trying to stretch that reference more than a bit.
At 10.00 yes a beautiful view 🙏
I like David's personality
Your video's are excellent...
A beautiful lady interesting content I don't know much other than the small bio about you ,going to stay on your list for a while to hopefully enjoy more of you and the British countryside! Lovely
I hope you enjoy what I make!
Damsons are great for jam!
Utterly charming - both of you. You even made Stoke-on-Trent look beautiful and this is some achievement....
I too popped over to ur channel whilst binge-watching CtC.
Many girls can 'turn heads' but only a limited few can 'stop traffic'! No wonder you love doing it LOL Nice collaboration with David.
If I ever get to owning a narrowboat you're already on my invite-list due to his 'recommendation.
Wishing you safe travels and happiness.
Jasmin, I've been watching David's vlog for a couple of months. I began with #1 and have made it to the one in which you were his guest. I've seen you a few times, along the way, but have just now subscribed to ThisNarrowboatAdventure. I'll get caught up with your postings after I finish with all of David's. I like your pleasant voice and clear enunciation and I'm sure I'll have more compliments as I view more of your videography. I haven't looked ahead so I'll be disappointed if you've given it up for something else - as we all are inclined to do with personal interests! I spent over two years modelling a N Gauge railroad layout, and after the Covid hit I lost my momentum and have been idle for a while. Thus, I've had time for vicarious canal adventures!
Btw, I did learn of you through David... He is quite an expert in his field and produces high quality videos... I have found your channel to be inspirational and quirky with a cuteness that is genuine. Thank you for your work!
Aloha.. Great to see David and you traveling
Hello, Yes ! I am indeed a refugee from David's channel.. so the links do work .. now I have another whole series of videos to watch in the "Cult of Canal". Thanks, and looking forward to following your travels...
Way cool video young lady ! Way cool ! Thanks ! 🇺🇸
David seems happy to have you along, not just to crew. Yes, I dropped into his channel to look around. Used to watch him all the time, but got a little bored. But you liven the videos up.
Excellent swan impression 🦢
Just came over here from cruising the cut. I too love damson plums and my mother taught me a wonderful recipe for plumb crazy you may enjoy.
Place 4 quarts of washed damson plumbs in a 1 gallon jar with a wide mouth and lid. pour 2 cups of sugar and enough vodka or other neutral grain alcohol to completely cover the plums, usually a large bottles worth. wait 3 months. drink
After you remove the plum infused vodka what do you do with the left over plums you ask....pour in a dry red wine back into that jar and leave it another 4 months.
oh that sounds good ive only ever used them for jam
It may just be a regional quirk, but working for British Waterways in the 1970s I learnt that the "Stop Planks" were called "Stank Boards" placed into "Stank Grooves". No idea why.
An early job was cutting vertical Stank Grooves into the brickwork of the Caen Hill flight of the K&A prior to its renovation.
Enjoyed the video, thanks.
I love stank boards
Hi, I have been watching David's channel for a while but always looking forward to finding others that sail on their narrow boat. It is amazing that both you and David were videoing the same trip but your story line was quite different from his. Thanks for posting and I enjoyed watching it.
Hello from Canada and "Cruising"
Growing up in NEW England, I had never even heard of a narrow boat. Now watching David's channel and now yours, getting over the pond and on a narrow boat is all I can think of! Thank you for your wonderful videos.
sounds like a narrowboating holiday is in order for you.
Jasmin, don't worry about it you and David produce great videos.
Cheers
Hello from David's channel. I grew up watching the lock in Banbury and fell in love with the canals. We have Damson's here (I think) in the form of Italian prunes, a freestone plum, really. Delicious.
they do look similar!
I have a friend who says "visitors should be like fresh fish - they go off after three days". Not a bad rule of thumb although I wouldn't live my life by it! This was a nice gentle watch - thanks for that.
I enjoyed watching you with David, you free of life, David a bit straight faced, given a different light on him, good on you girl! Must seam strange being away from the London out skirts?
not really cos I leave London easter and summer and sometimes in oct adventuring every year any way
Loved the video , you are a cutie pie !!!
My mom's Wedgewood made it all the way back to N.Y./FLA with no breakage and it it still in perfect condition, she was there in 1967. : ) peace
Watching both videos made for a very entertaining evening. Thank you.
I have watched all of David's videos, now that I've subscribed to your channel, I will watch all of yours as well. I am sure that if I had my own boat, I could tolerate 10 guests onboard at once (having served onboard a submarine for several years I got used to being cramped amongst many people), but I imagine it would "get old" after a while since cruising the canals is for fun and not a job. There is certainly a good feeling that comes with solitude, but having a welcome guest onboard, especially if they loved the boat as much as I did, would make it a very pleasant experience. Thank you for a lovely take of canal life with friends!
thank you for subscribing and welcome! how long could you have ten do you think?
I saw you on David's video so I came over for a look. Thank you so much for the video it adds something to the whole narrowboat experience for me. I have subscribed to your channel and am enjoying your content.
thank you for joining us anna
Great video of my hometown, thank you
your very welcome! love place it is too
Love the lifestyle- wonder if I could just drop everything and cruise the channels.. wish this dream could be possible in Sydney 😀.. came from David’s channel... keep up the great work !!
hi there nice to have you here, if you are considering buying you should check out this video czcams.com/video/480FAOqb5pI/video.html
Two nights..... MAX!!! 😊❤️🌱💚
I follow David but i did enjoy watching this video after just watching David's video of u joint trip . Both videos were a good watch . Your different styles complemented each other .
Great film as usual! Love those times when boattubers come together and do things! I think I remember David and the "Experience" girls also picking Damsons once.
Nice vblog. Thank you. One night is about my limit for guests although I did have a nice lady stay two nights. However, she was very helpful and, so, a joy to have around.
Well let's all aim to be like your two night guest :)
@@ThisNarrowboatAdventure I should be more like you and be hospitable for three nights.
David “mastermind” of the canals and narrow boat life. :) good to see you both enjoying the trip.
Don't know if I'd go that far ;)
So cute.
My Father always said that after 3 days, fish and guests smell.
Police headquarters to Car 6, people nicking Damson's along the waterway; both of them look shifty...kind of like full time mariners. Could be some of those people posing as CZcams stars. (Jasmine and David do a great job and we like watching your videos)
That was lovely Jasmin, I hope you have invited David to stay on your boat to get another couple of videos of the pair of you.
LOVED THE BLOG
thank bro!
I watched both your video and David’s. Really different styles and perspectives, both as engaging and fun to watch. More collaborations please! I really like your joy and enthusiasm, and your mastery of the Swan language - am now subscribed!
yes we have very different perspectives
Hi Yes just popped over from David’s channel and you just gained a new subscriber. 👍🏻
nice to see your video as well as david's. yes, he does present different from you, but i enjoy the both of you as the difference is nice. i also love how you look at the start of your videos when you are at the helm. am a late comer to these videos, and i am going thru david's from the start. my plan is once his are all thru i will do the same with yours.
I think the way your filming is great. I love your perspective and of course seeing David in action was nice. I have spent a week on my boat with three guests the entire time. My boat is 30 ft long and 10 feet wide. It has a v berth forward, a dinnette that folds down to sleep two short people and an aft private stateroom that has a full sized double bed. It has a wet head as you would call a loo THAT has a hot shower and sink, a two burner stove both electric or gas, and a small frig. My pilot house is covered and can enclose it as there is a sofa there. The aft deck is large too so there is always plenty of room so the guests are not on top of each other. As I travel rivers, inland waterways and the ocean I have a 42 mile radar and gps that is married together. No I have get cramped with folks aboard and always enjoy it. I love to teach them the ways of cruising. I r4eally enjoy the beauty of your canals. I love seeing how pretty all the houses are along the banks. I do not live full time on my boat but have spent weeks at a time on it. People in my marina use to enjoy my boat at Christmas as I always had it decorated. Just wondering if you decorate your boat for holidays. Again I enjoyed this vlog while watching it in North Carolina, USA
Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. I think I've found all of the narrowboat vlog subscriptions I follow via David. He has great taste in friends. :c) Cheers for the dead badger, btw. Eugh! LOL!
A lovely fresh insight in canal boat life.
Hi just came over from him.
Great video of you guys working together and seeing it from your eyes and the way you do your thing.
I have had a look at some others you have done the Book. And the Island tours as well. Very interesting. Will be looking at yours as well as all the rest.
It's so nice to see all of you an the peaceful channels.
hi stephen its great to have you
You and CC made a great team. Seems like CC is seasoned in narrow boating and is very knowledgeable in the canal network. Well done.
we have both been boating for about 5 years i think, glad you enjoyed the video
I came from David's channel and im gonna start watching your videos aswell, nice to meet you Jasmine!
Bravo ! Great video ! I came over from David's channel and I'm happy I did ! You have a new subscriber !
Keep up the great work !
SBF
Absolutely fantastic collaboration by you guys. Well done👍
thank you :)
So fun to see you guys work the boat together and different shots of the same canal !! ...the Badger !! Hahaha!! ......you have a serious fan of your work now : ) ...you just don't get that reality elsewhere !! ...he (was) cute Thank You !!
Bravo! I've been a David groupie for a while, and occasionally popped in (max 3 nights!) viewed your channel, too. You have likely captured me now, especially with the show-all-dead-badger-shiny-water-reflection approach! :)
I believe you should spend most of your time with David. He needs someone like you.
Well he is rather far away to do that but we will viset again I'm sure.
@@ThisNarrowboatAdventure
I hope it happens sooner then later.
It’s great when people are able to collaborate.
We all benefit.
That sneaky little badger 🤪
I like that you’re letting your hair grow out. Seems it can aid in navigation when a breeze is blowing.
That’s funny you disrupting traffic.
I worked in Louisiana for years, and some areas had many bridges along the way. Some were so low that even the smallest of boats couldn’t slip underneath. It seemed quite ridiculous at times the production of it all stopping traffic, opening the bridge for a tiny one man boat to scoot past.
Enjoyed your comments you were a joy to watch
I do love the intro-song on your videos. Found myself humming it the other day months ago. And keep having it pop up at the oddest times. ;-) Looking for your next video.
thank you from me and seb!
Hey there, came here from David channel cheers. Oh and that dream house you spoke of is also David’s dream house 😂
I follow Davids Channel and really liked seeing that cruise from another perspective. Thanks to you both letting us participate.
thanks for popping over here!
I am a lot like David in that I get anxious when people come to visit me at my home... I have guests semi-frequently and my max stay for casual people is 3 days while family is 5 days. Great video!
That was a beautiful area after the staircase locks.
Very enjoyable ,,, Jasmine,, different way to David’s !!
Now more vlogs to follow!!
Hi came from David’s vlog....loved the format and the background music.....I’ve subscribed to your channel ....keep up the good work 😊
A sweet girl you are. Well done, these boats remind me of my airstream camper with out the water.
saw you on cruising the cut had to check you out and subb love the lifestyle so jealous lol.
I live in Milton, it is nice to see the village get abit of recognition 😁
its lovely!
Friends and Fish stay Fresh for Three Days. Great video.
I have a big house, Four bedrooms with a Bed in the upstairs hallway Widened area, my son and his two boys live upstairs full time, My oldest son comes to get his daughter every other weekend, and visitors come as extended stays quite often, One sister comes for a month in July every year and other for a week or two quite often I've had to buy an extra fridge for overflow, and I can readily see how tight it would be in a narrow boat, I have two bathrooms, what ever would i do in such tight quarters but I do dream of parring down and moving into something much more private. Good job you two.
As usual great show! Cheers old Bean!
well done love both your channels
II was flying over the UK yesterday and looked down and thought of both of you
I didn’t get my notification for this video, only realised it was here when I watched David’s. I do like Jasmines look on life.
Houston Texas USA that’s where I have been!
Your style of filming and narration is what makes your vlogs unique, an almost old home movie kind of feel to them which makes viewing all that more enjoyable. Great to see the mutual collaboration between CZcams Narrowboat contributors. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful video Jasmin and wonderful job filming and narrating it ;) I too, had the rather fun experience of "Cranking up" a Swing Bridge with the Windlass on the Llangollen Canal just before reaching the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct, it was quite fun and felt so medieval ;) The dead badger was funny and I had no idea these were indigenous to England. Jono just recently posted a video with some small animal resembling a Ferret swimming about, but he called it something else, quite interesting and entertaining. I look forward to your next vid and thanks ;)
There is a saying. Company (visitors) like fish, both get old after 3 day. Linked over from David's channel. Enjoyed your video.
Excellent presentation 🎥 Well done🤩
Can’t help but hoping you can do a little catching up.
Hello from Oregon, USA enjoy your videos, will be looking for future trips.
When I saw the Wedgwood building and you mentioned the pottery, it reminded me of an article I just read last night on Charles Darwin. Emma Wedgwood of the pottery family married her first cousin Charles Darwin. They went on to have 10 children. Thanks for sharing your cruise with David!
Well of course he would want you on board, besides being a very good looking distraction you do most of the lock work. 😁 I'm was surprised you had never encountered a staircase lock before. But like David said they are rare so it isn't strange after all. I'm surprised he let you stand on the roof of the boat. Just so you know it is you we, your subscribers, are impressed with. I hope you have many more happy and uneventful days on the canal. 👍
You can't do many locks single handed without standing on the roof if the rise/fall is more than a few feet.
A lot of roofs are painted with anti slip paint in addition to the gunnels and decks.
When single handed you have to take the boat into a full lock or an empty one.
Whatever happens, whether going up or down, you either climb up or down the lock ladder at some stage.
Standing on the roof is not something sacrosanct, it is just part of getting across from ladder to tiller or vice versa.
One of the things that makes watching the many videos by various canal vloggers is the difference in style. I love your videography style for its relaxed, comfortable and homespun feel. David’s style may be a more journalistically polished production because of his background. But, both styles are lovely, relaxing to watch and informative.

you just gained a new sub direct from crusing the cuts video this video is linked in
yaya nice to meet you harry!
Wonderful to see you two together. I had a good laugh at David describing if he had a partner, she would have t have her own boat! Lots of potential cartoons here. Would he tow his partner's boat? Would she influence him and hang frilly curtains everywhere! BTW - that bridge you described as a swing bridge was actually a lift bridge. Great fun and I'm following you from now on

I watched your video now after I watched David's. Your filming is very good and natural to portray the adventure! Well done! I love your commentary and more relaxed than "official". well done. You are a hard worker on the lock paddles! Well done! To get along sharing a small private space... Well done! Wonderful meal to impress David... Pretty damn good well done!
I'm glad you guys had an awesome trip! Awesome video. Thanks.
@10.22, a LIFT bridge jasmine. yes, they are fun. normally us civilians have no authority to stop traffic, but at a lift bridge, we can!
I am beginning to see a real pattern with David. :)
what does that mean?
@@ThisNarrowboatAdventure He likes to get other boaters to help him with locks.
You two seem to get on well. That just adds a quality to the video. Please do another trip together at some point!
