We're a married couple spending most of our time cruising the rivers and canals of the UK. Our ultimate goal is to cover every navigable waterway but that's going to take years! There's a few to be going on with and we'll add more as and when we cruise them. Hopefully you enjoy the videos and take away a flavour of each navigation. Perhaps in the future the videos will become a part of social history - who knows what changes we'll see in the coming years and decades.
Soundtracks are from our own collection and reflect our varied taste in music - enjoy!

Grand Union Canal, Tring Station to Marsworth
After rescuing a fellow boater's narrowboat last night we set off this morning on a cruise of two halves. A pleasant, lock free trip through Tring Cutting and Bulbourne gets us started. The junction with the Wendover Arm marks the start of the Marsworth lock flight and a more energetic descent to a mooring next to Tring Reservoirs.

Grand Union Canal, Berkhamsted to Tring Station
Переглядів 6114 днів тому
We head further north out of the suburban sprawl of Berkhamsted and back into picturesque countryside. Eight locks, so another fair workout though we have time to catch our breath at an interminably long water point stop! Trainspotting, Red Kites and a classic rock soundtrack from Quo, what's not to like? More cruising videos @boatsatnav9045

It's another beautiful day as we set off northwards from Boxmoor. There are 10 locks to climb today so it's going to be quite a workout but we find a great mooring at the end which includes a playground for our two pussy cats :-) More cruising videos @boatsatnav9045

Off we go heading north again from Kings Langley up to Boxmoor. A fairly uneventful cruise other than a big pile of poo and a wet cat! More cruising videos @boatsatnav9045

Quite a few locks to climb today but, as luck would have it, we team up with the couple that we first met back at Denham. We recognised them 'off the telly' as they were on one of the boats that featured on Channel 4's documentary 'Narrow Escapes'. More cruising videos @boatsatnav9045
Grand Union Canal, Denham to Batchworth

Heading north from Denham we cruise through the picturesque Colne Valley Regional Park following the course of the River Colne all the way to Rickmansworth. After a shopping stop at a very handy Tesco we move a little further on to a nice mooring near Batchworth. Is it a car? Is it a boat? No, it's Super Panda! More cruising videos @boatsatnav9045
Grand Union Canal, Three Bridges to Bulls Bridge
Переглядів 322 місяці тому
It's like a motorway drive for this leg. A couple of wide locks to start then two arrow straight sections almost a mile long each take us to our destination at Bulls Bridge. There's also weed galore which brings us to a complete stand still at one point.
River Thames, Teddington to Brentford
Переглядів 953 місяці тому
We don our big boy pants today for a cruise along part of the tidal Thames. We're booked in with Canal and River Trust for the transit through Thames Lock at Brentford. The plan is to leave Teddington at high water and ride the ebb tide down to the mouth of the River Brent then up on to the Grand Union Canal. Fingers crossed we don't have to use any of our safety equipment. More cruising videos...
River Thames, Hampton Court to Teddington
Переглядів 783 місяці тому
It's the last non-tidal leg of our Thames cruise. Tomorrow we venture out on to the tidal Thames down to Brentford. For now it's calm water and balmy weather as we leave Hampton Court Palace for Teddington Lock. There's plenty of river traffic around including several of the big passenger ferries that ply these waters. More cruising videos @boatsatnav9045

One of our longer legs this time, four locks, a good few miles and, oh my, what a change in the weather. More cruising videos @boatsatnav9045
