Facing our FEARS cruising on the Tidal River Trent! (Keadby to Torksey Lock)
FINALLY, I catch up with what's been going on with our narrowboat life amidst our first Summer holiday. It starts during the longest narrowboat trip we've ever done in one day and I talk about why we're living on it and what it's been like... where our stuff is...
AND, we do what we promised we would try this year and that is to travel to Lincoln along the River Trent from Keadby Lock, with the first stop being Torksey Lock.
FYI... if you're wondering, my name is Vikkie (AKA The Carpenter's Daughter) and I usually share easy how-to DIYs here on UA-cam 😉

    Lovely little video. We did the same stretch of canal in June this year, except we set off from a different wharf. Ironically, our barge was identical to yours, but ours was red. I video'd the whole adventure, but not yet made it into a film as I've been too busy. We are going on a barge day trip this Saturday from Penkridge to Wolverhampton, then back to the same canal as in your video in May next year. We will then be purchasing a barge as it's been a lifelong dream of mine. When on the canal, you are forced to relax, especially when driving because it takes 100% of your concentration, and there is no time to think of anything else. The best therapy one can have. I'm glad to see that Robbie Cummings now has his own TV programme.
