lovely video and congratulations for getting to the top with out too much bother. Ash was very patient. Hope you all enjoyed the walk and cream teas at the end. I had to re subscribe, as i hadnt been getting your chanel recently. i wondered why.

My favourite channels are the mindful narrow boat, your channel and boat time although I do like boat dog traveller

Eight for the winding

Congratulations on reaching the top lock and a well-deserved cream tea after all that work opening and closing all the locks. That was a nice trip very relaxing to watch well worth waiting for " sat on my waiting to watch list " see you and Ashby on your next adventure bye for now.

I'm enjoying watching your vlogs, only been at it a couple of weeks, working through the back catalogue. Love the simple "come along with me" filming, and the great narrative over the top. Your phrases remind me of my dad, he was from West London (Paddington), so the accent ever so slightly different, but the phrases exactly the same. My husband would love an uncensored version of your vlogs, but I just watched one of yours from the Fenny Stratford cruise, and told him you don't like the agricultural language! Keep it up Vince, your content really is soothing.

Brilliant video dad.. Im so relieved that you managed to get some help through all those locks. I bet you were too haha! That would’ve been hard work completely on your own. I’m so proud of you for going for it and travelling about. You deserve it after all the hard work you’ve had to put up with over the years. Keep going, we all love seeing your adventures xxxx

Still subscribed! Haven't pulled any of that unsubscribing nonsense on me yet! LOL Glad you made it up the lock flight unscathed. That looked like quite the long day. Silly Ashby, I'm sure he views Richard as a favourite uncle. ;)

Hello, I have followed you from the start and enjoy your videos. I remain 'subscribed' so no problems there. I must say that, not trusting computers, I do not rely on notifications. If there seems to be a long time without 'seeing from you' I check your website to make sure I haven't missed anything. I have been up Hatton twice, each time with a professional crew. My log shows that in 1978 on a day that included Hatton we 'did' 47 locks in all. I was on a working holiday at the time and count myself lucky to have had the chance to experience a limited insight to what life was like in the commercial days. Now, it is good to experience the trip at a leisurely pace via your video. Thanks.

Hi Vince, just a couple of quick notes that may help you. My boat had stick on non-slip decking strip on both the top and side walkways. I believe you can get this by the roll to suit your length needs. As for running two boats side by side, the simple trick is to lash the two together starting at the front, then as you can on the rear depending on length. normally two boats running together will be sucked towards each other but at canal speed this doesn't apply. Finally from me that tea room, We spent a very pleasant afternoon there a few years ago when staying nearby on our way back from Scotland. Keep up the good work Vince looking forward to your next instalment. Kev

Its been a long time Since i have seen your vlogs Vince i followed you along then lost track of your travels, i would say you got lucky on this flight of locks Canal folks are the best and the locky's do a great job and deserve a lot of thanks, Enjoy your cream tea When i lived in Devon cream teas were a regular treat for the kids the misses and i when we go back home on holiday we always have to have one. Stay safe take care of Ashby mate Ed 40 S of Vegas

When you put the top coat on the roof, sieve some sand onto it to make it non-slip.

Hi Vince - do you have a patreon account? - I’ve heard they don’t take as much in commission as buy me a coffee

Hi Vince, that seemed like an enjoyable day for you. What lovely people those volunteers are. It’s nice to see different aspects on the channel. Variety is the spice of life. I’ll have a look through those websites. I am still subscribed and got an email notification. People have to make a choice once they click the bell, so that could be why some people don’t always get notified. I’ve found that I can’t buy you a coffee. I’ve tried a few times but it’s not working for me. Prob due to my older out of date browser. I haven’t updated it Though since they expect to harvest your soul! 😊 Take care Vince. Looking forward to the next one. Xxx

Love your videos. 'Gwen' in Wales is short for Gwyneth. This must be the most trivial piece trivia I've ever burdened someone with - sorry Vince.

Put another coat on the roof with some antislip granules in it, might stop you going on your arse. Smooth paint when wet is like ice.

Cheers Vince. Lovely bit of boatmanship! Great video as always. Best wishes, Bill.

So glad luck came your way Vince, as a solo boater that flight wouldn't have been much fun. Love a good cream tea. I'm not from London but I like the accent and understand you😅.. Aww Ashby loves you really. K

Hi mate . . . All good at this end . . not been un subscribed yet thankfully. Shame about the numbers but im sure they will return. Loved the video as always. Take care bud.

❤ It's good to hear a cockney accent

I have been recommended to follow you as l am Linda Parker's cousin. Her mum was my dad's sister. I am enjoying your travels.

Another great video Vince, thanks. My subscription has never cancelled itself on YT but I did notice for a while that your videos were not appearing on the main screen in the reccomendations. I have turned on notifications to make sure I dont miss any. There are so many videos on YT it must be a challenge to get them in from of folks. Keep going though mate, the numbers shall continue to grow. I see you have more than 8000 subscribers, and that is a good number of people taking an interest in what you are doing. You don't sensationalise things, or put click bait thumbnails up to falseley draw people in. So basically that is a good number of pals to have. You wouldn't want to have to fork out for a cream tea for them all !! All the best, as always..

Hi Vince we watch your vlogs, have subscribed from the beginning and have given a like for this one woohoo. We get notifications 👏 We come from Walthamstow and Chingford ,was near river lee . Hence our fondness of you and your channel . Good luck Julie and Alan x

Vince, is that aitch as in harry redknapp aitch..? ⚒️

Great video. Just checked we are still subscribed.👍😎

Nice 1 matey, great viewing as always. im the same as you.... Cream teas mmmmm

Vincent, take a tip I learnt from Clint Eastwood, he was asked how at 94 he is still making films etc, his reply...Never Let The Old Man In...Keep telling yourself you're old will make you age quicker.

Nice one Vince! Needed a lift after seeing the US election results. And I'm still subcribed.

You lucked out going up the Hatton Flight Vince, I must have done that flight about a 10 times and I’ve always had help whether it was from another boater and or from volunteers, generally both. I’m subscribed and I get notifications.

You just can’t beat good luck 🍀👍

Nice work on the locks. That little Ashby didn't pull his finger out much though 😂

Another boater gave me this tip and I've done it ever since. Before climbing the lock ladder, put the windlass handle first through belt loop in back of trousers. Push it all the way down up to the sockets so it can't fall out. Then both hands are free.

Hi Vince, I enjoyed the journey again. A busy one for you. It was lovely to hear about the way you all pitch in and help each other and the friendships you make. The locks were interesting. I love hearing your accent, it reminds me of home and all the memories. Ashby may like Richard but he loves you. He has a lovely face, Ashby that is 😂 A nice idea to use your channel to help and promote others. I am still subscribed and Ive been getting notifications. The weather was beautiful. Not like here in South Wales. It's cloudy and cold.. I'm glad you enjoyed the cream tea. It looked delicious. Bless you Vince. Keep safe and try not to slip on the roof. Love aunt Babs XXX

I have bee suscribed to your channel since before you left Essex, and avidly watch all your videos but UA-cam rarely, if ever, send me a notification of yout new vlogs, is is only because I look for them. Another thing I notice is that very often, after I have watched an episode it doesn't show up with a red line underneath it to show I have watched it. Doesn't matter to me either way as I invariably watch them more than once. You and Country House Gent are my two most favourite UA-camrs

I'm still subscribed but I didn't get notification of your previous video (the one about Warwick). I've just watched and enjoyed it (and hit the like button). BTW, there's nothing wrong about speaking with a regional accent. I haven't lived in the UK for over forty years but still speak with my north of England accent!

Well done Vince, I am still subscribed and looking forward to the next vids 👌👌

Hi Vince. As allways nice video keep them comeing Thank you from Brian w.germany

Subscribed Vince 👍

You was lucky with having help with all the locks this time, well done to the volunteers for doing what they do...enjoyed watching your journey with people you met along your way 🥰🥰

Hi Vince, You’re right about your videos, we’ve not seen much of you for a while and we’re very glad to watch this one! The last we saw of you was when you were in the middle of painting Aitch. Don’t ever lose your accent Vince, you remind me of my mates down south, where blokes are dependable and always there when you’re in a fix. Look after yourself and Ashby, Brian and Chris.

Busy days for you but another peaceful journey for me. I love the camaraderie you have found along the way.Partnering up seems like the only way with so many locks in a row

Well done good job with the locks and with halp all the best to you and good look😊

much easier to tie the boats together and go up as 'one' - then only one steerer is required.

Thank you for another Cracking video, I’m glad UA-cam recommended your videos about a month or so ago and I have been catching up with your older ones. I heard you say in a past video that are from East London can I ask what your Manor was? I’m in Canning Town for what it’s worth!

Re-subscribed I wondered why I wasn't seeing anything. Can you add a link to the charity that Richard supports.. I work with the Wounded Warriors Canada.. Nothing wrong with the east end accent.. My Dad's Aunt and Cousins were from east London, my Dad's uncle has a thick Scots brogue.. Old school canal boatmen ..

Question Do you tip the volunteers? Enjoy your videos 😊

Good to have help through all those locks. You meet a lot of friendly folks. Passed on your link to my cousin Val (mom's side) hope she stops by for a visit.

Thanks Vince that was a good Video you can park in the car park up there and have a walk up to the tea and coffee shop and have a drink and a piece of cake its a nice little Walk the locks and NarrowBoats look Good it must be a good days Work you had plenty of Help off People there is Hatton Country Park up that way its Shops and a Kids Farm as well glad you Got Through OK Brilliant Video Thanks
