Watched it all, love every second of the filming, the Narra', the crew, the endless filling up of the kettle, the sound of the majestic Bolinder, the expert rope work at the locks and when coming to a corner. Thank you to all, double WOW from me. I wish Greyhound was mine
Couldn't Swan snatch the bow of Greyhound across to clear the gate when leaving locks through a single gate, or would it pull it too far forward? Timing would need to be perfect...
Meu amigo, que delicia é seu video, agora, ficaria be, mais interessante, vc rever todo ele, e marcar todos as cancelas que vai passando, assim a gente pode acompanhar pelo maps. Ficará genial!!! PARABÉNS...sou do Brasil SÃO PAULO
@@mykaskin thanks for that. Are there many years difference in the engines? Do you know why it seems more boats had an imported bolinder rather than a local Gardner? Thanks.
@@olivermulliss7114 I'm no expert on either, but my understanding is that the Blinders engine is an earlier design and that the countries largest company Fellows Morton and Clayton (FMC) trailed them and found them powerful and reliable engines and continued to fit them in boats very late. Partially as the boatmen knew how to deal and fix them by then. They are very simple engines compared to newer types.
A lot of architecture is similar in design. The Bargee was shot on the Lower Grand Union from Bulls Bridge up to Cowroast Summit at Tring. The main scenes around the Lock cottage to which you refer were at the top of the Marsworth flight on the way down to Tring Reservoirs.

I am very surprised at the lack of respect for there Boats and the lock Gates. On a few occasions they let there Boats smash crash into the lock gates. The impact with the lock Gates you can see the shock wave on the Boat and the Gates. I find this very Reckless and un-necessary. There`s one part were some one get`s of the boat and lets it enter the lock on it`s own nobody onboard and it smashes into the lock gates. They should be fined for this sort of behaviour.
You wet vac it out when you do an oil change. Poor it into the empty 5 lit containers and leave it at a waste disposal point that are all along the canal network like are clean water points so you can fill your on board water tanks. That`s why boats have to pay over a grand a year for there water ways licence. Where did you think it went into the canal with all the critters that live in the Canals like Rats Mink defecating and polluting the Canals with the likes of WEIL`S Disease. Dumbass.
Crash Crash Crash Bottom Gates, he should be controlling stopping the barge by rope instead of trying to start the engine, especially when the engine isn’t needed to be running in the lock.
If he doesn't keep the engine ticking over, the hot bulb will cool down and then he's got twenty minutes fiddling around with a blowtorch getting it up to temperature again before he can re-start. All that time he's stuck in the lock getting abuse from everyone else who wants to use it. That's why he's so insistent on keeping the engine ticking over.

These guys smashing into lock gates. Great job.
At 28:40, it appears that the walls of the lock on the right side are even leaking, but from where is the water coming from?
Another great video, superb shots from Chester City Walls.
Привет из России! Дама в белой шляпе-красавица,капитан судна! В прочем напарница капитана в кепке тоже прекрасна! Спасибо за ролик!
Just seeing anything moving on the waterways at the moment all be it old footage is pleasing
I recognise the lady on the boat when I was at Kings Lock, great video, bollies look like hard work.
This just gets better and better!

Good
The song from swans bollinder sounds much sweeter than of the grey hound.
Swan has a Gardner engine - also a single 2 stroke but with variable injection so no funky beat, and a gearbox.

At 2:30 ... is that the lock and house that was in the movie Bargee? For some reason it seems very familiar.

There are ways and means of doing things, smashing your boat into lock gates isn't one of them. What a mess!
Отличное видео.
SUNGAINYA BOLEH DIBUAT CONTOH BAGI INDONESIA SEKIRANYA MAU MEMBANGUN.
Leakage from the gates is appalling!
c10:30 right lighterman’s fetch wow recon that other fella felt safer with you ahead of him 🥴🧐

The guy needs to learn some respect for the lock gates let alone the boat there is just no need
Where does all that oily bilge-water end up?

@@Wyrm1701 that’s the owners look out not that of the locks or paddle gear? Why does it keep stopping?
