Thanks for taking us to Leeds City centre, great boat handling Tony, the food looked brilliant. I hope that you are both doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Hi Jan & Tony, now that was an adventure! Thank you for sharing the info about those beautiful bridges. Street food in a mall, what a good idea. Looking forward to more adventure on the Leeds and Liverpool canal. Take care, Bryan & Donna
Cheers Jane! All boats should have a horn fitted - you can't traverse some tunnels without one and anyway, if you're in trouble how do you alert other boaters. Crazy!
What a fun look around the city! That river looked very dangerous, pushing you towards the wall like that. The food looked delicious. Well done to those who take the leap of faith of getting their vans all the way up there for the experience.
My son took me to Trinity kitchen when he first moved up there - we had Thai and it was delicious . Such a great city Leeds, I love it. Loved the throwback video Tony - maybe a side hustle from The Boat?? 😁☺️
Loved Leeds ❤️ We did consider running a food outlet from the boat but there's a lot of hoops to jump through and we didn't think it worth it considering we just wanted to cruise...but never say never...😉
In your flashback to feast on the street,my stomach turned when it shown the Fried Frog Legs,The rest of the vlog was great,I wouldnt like to be a novice boater approaching that first lock,looked very dangerous if you didnt understand the force of the rivers flow.
I don't think I ever tried any frogs legs and anyway, like most things I guess it tastes like chicken! Rivers need to be treated with respect. A lot of understanding before you traverse on them is the best way - and be prepared! (Old Boy Scout motto relevant here!!) Have a great week 👍
Nice video again guys. Really p155es me off when you sound your horn & other boats don’t respond so you think that it’s safe & then you see them & they’re totally oblivious to the world! Absolute Richard Craniums!
If both 'parties' gave proper sound signnals (as used by 'our' salty bretherin' ), there should be no need for panic.... Onle long blast for 'I am entering the waterway' followed by one or two short blaqt to indicate which way I'm turning. It's all in the book but nobody bothers.... (sniff)
I dare say 'street food carts & vans' isn't a new thing, see here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_truck It's been done to death all over the world, and it still continues today. FYI: It would be nice to have a real 'walk about' into historic places along the canals, i.e. remaining buildings of yesteryear, then & now coverage, and the like. Take good care of yourselves ~🤗💕Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾
Hi and thanks for watching 👍 I (Tony) personally witnessed the birth of street food when I lived in the US and was part of the movement when it hit the UK and stayed very much part of it until 2018. What was new back in the day was getting the actual trucks inside a shopping centre and I believe Trinity in Leeds is still the only one that features an entire floor dedicated to street food. Re History: If you watch our vlogs regularly you'll know that we feature quite a lot of the history of the waterways and nearby towns and cities that we visit.
What a beautiful city....that taco looked very yummy..
It was! Could have eaten another one, but, you know...diet! 😂
As always loads of interesting facts. Those bridges were lovely and nice to see they are being kept in good order.
Thank you Elizabeth.❤️ Some lovely bridges, we always marvel at the engineering and work that goes into them. 👍
Woooow BIG well done Tony on getting into that lock with much a heavy sidewash. That took some amazing boat handling skills - well done
Thanks Liz 👍
Crown point bridge! Just an awesome piece of work! Beautiful.
The architecture of some canal bridges is quite amazing, such a big difference to the modern day lumps of austere concrete! 👍

Cheers Stevie! 👍 Yes, both doing well thanks hope you are too. ❤️

Thanks for the tour of Leeds (fan of yours from Chicago).
Our pleasure! 👍❤️

Thank you. Glad to be off rivers and onto the canal.👍
Street Food was excellent and such an achievement to get them to the top floor!
Tony and Jan thank you for always giving me a smile. Safe, healthy travels
Thank you - our pleasure ❤️

😂 Exactly Spudders!
Boats have horns fitted for a reason...🙄
Good video
Cheers Lee 👍❤️
Well done for getting into that lock 1 off the river. The stream did look fast. Always good to hear Jan on the bow 😂. Loved the walk around Leeds. 👍❤
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you Bears ❤️❤️

Quite true Henry. Sadly some boaters simply don't bother using their horn 🙄
