back in 1998 I walked from Bristol to Reading in 3 days along the river Avon and the Kennet and Avon canal and raised money for Cancer research
That’s really good going!
Thanks
Thank you so much!!
So cool seeing you two explore the K&A, bringing back so many memories! 💕
Ahh we’re glad! It’s all we’ve ever known so really looking forward to explore further now
Hi Danni and Joe. Those coots were so cute. It must be so nice to be close to nature. Loved the drone shots of you going through the swing bridge. Take care. Nick
Thanks Nick!
I love you guys! It's great to see the way you two get on... and any arguments you do have between takes do not seem to be that noticable. I've been about boats most of my life and have always dreamed of living on a narrowboat.. it was me and my wife's plan-B if we couldn't have kids...20 years on and I'm looking for a new house and with prices of things and nothing looking quite right to commit my salary to, I'm giving the narrowboat thing another thought. Not a serious thought yet, just a positive idea after a few glasses of wine, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
There rare breed ducks Danni. Apparently they're pn the endangered list so the owners are part of a breeding program. They actually let them out on the water and tempt them back after their swim with meal worms!. Very happy ducks x
Ah wow thanks for that!
FAB drone footage Joe! Great vlog thanks 💜
Thank you!
AWESOME drone footage 🤘🏻
Thank you!
Hi both a great video, loved the drone pictures , it shows warts and all in the life of a boater. Have great week😊
😂😂 thank you!
I like your sweater 😊
Hi Danni and Joe, great video loved the cruise.
Thank you!
What an uplifting video today, shenannigans had a day off 😂 ❤
😂😂 yeah a little more like it this week!
I enjoyed the boat build videos, but your travels are really enjoyable.
Ahh thank you! It’s much easier travelling about than renovation 😂😂
You make me smile
❤️❤️

New subscriber, enjoyed this video. I did a school trip on a narrowboat 33 years ago and have never forgotten how amazing it was. One day I might just have my own narrowboat. 🙂
Wet wet wet fantastic group. Never mind water below and water above.
Nice music accompaniment.
Keep safe warm dry and virus free both.
Safe journey travels.
😂😂 thank you!
You show it and say it as it is brilliant 😊
Arthur
😂😂 cheers!
Another great episode.
Enjoyed the wee bike ride and sweetcorn 😮😁
😂
Hi Danni, Joe, Loving your cruise this week. I'm very impressed you put out extra lines for long stays. Great dinner you made Joe. Looked so Yummy. I'm with Danni, I don't like Spiders either. Danni looked so cosy enjoying her relaxing day off on the boat. Joe, I felt your pain as you got so wet going for the car. I suppose it's all part of the experience. Another excellent Video. Thank you. (Spoolbox)
Thank you ❤️ we’re building a tolerance to the spiders! 😂
cheers Joe and Danni, great vlog. xx😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great insight into boating life keep them coming just found you 😀
Thank you!
Really enjoyed that video 👍
Thank you!
Great cruise and vlog indeed. Omg just how soaked can u get. Bless. Our summer this year lol. Best wishes to u both.
😂😂 thanks Trevor!
Watching this makes me very happy! I'm a Bath local and spent a few years living on the K+A -
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video.
Thank you!
I have even out of bath and Keynsham for a few years and now live in Crawley Thank you for bringing memories back used to love walking bath to Bradford on Avon brings memories back love you guys ❤❤❤
Ah that’s great to hear, thank you!
Thank you
Cheers!
Danni it’s fine with me that you’re tired after working the way you do. Plus you got your T-shirt back 😂. Joe you are the best person I’ve yet to meet. Photography was fantastic!
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your life.
Ahh that’s very kind thank you so much!
Strange 2022 my wife and a friend done the exact canal on a narrow boat for a week its really nice there. Nice to listen to your story enjoy UK
Amazing! Thank you!
The birds you saw were coots the video was a bit blurry. Coots have white beaks and Moor hens have red, I do think it's great when you still laugh and smile at the camera when you're on your bike and it's peeing down. I hope you both enjoy your journey, be safe .
Ahh! Thank you!
wow what a great Vvlog oh and love your drone shots, amazing I do love the Bath area, and Danni the jumper looks better on you, But...ummmm the flat cap..... I keep telling hubby, they are for old men lol..... but he still keeps wearing his... That salad looks awesome....we have only ever done narrowboat living on a holiday but I do love it.... maybe when I retire come back to the uk for a 6 mth holiday in summer of course....
Thank you! The flat cap is a classic in Somerset I’ll have you know 😂😂 yeah a lot of people retire onto a boat, maybe we’ve retired early!
Lovely to see you guys living the dream! Vicky from Tesco's Cam 😂
Ahh thanks Vicky!
Loved the sweet corn comment! Made me giggle
😫😂
Great vlog but boy I don’t envy the cycle rides one wee bit!! Take care folks and thank you.
😂😂 thank you!
Hi, new subscriber here, I love narrow boats, was lucky enough to have a holiday on one as a child.
It’s a great way of exploring the country!
Hello beautiful two love the video ❤
Thank you! 🙂
Outstanding . Great filmography if that’s a word. Perfect blend of drone, cruising, storytelling, nature, scenery and the music is spot on. Couple of things? Was those Danni’s shorts when you went for the car? 🤭 and Danni works but have you retired? 😉
Thank you! Yeah I think that’s a word, or videography I guess. 😂 they’re my short shorts I love them, think I’ll be wearing shorts through winter as well I can’t stand jeans at the minute.
Haha. Believe it or not I’m a full time UA-camr now, crazy what opportunities are out there low for more ‘creative’ jobs. It doesn’t fund both of us yet but we’re working on it!
@@DanniandJoe wish you all the best with it. Doing a great job so far 👍
So I can teach you a little meditation technique. Pictures yourself standing in a field. Full of flowers and animal life. Notice a deer jump in one side, and see it leap out the other. Those random thoughts that come when your meditation. Let them be like that deer, remain in the field and notice them, but also let them leave. The important thing is to remain in the field. The rest will happen. ❤
You need a spider catcher, I recommend reenforcing the joints before they fall apart, after that they are pretty sturdy.
love watching your travels ,,, you two are so down to earth :) . Hopefully , Danni will let her hair down more , she has beautiful hair :)
Thank you!
Run lol run seriously!
I was born in Bath in 1961 in St Mary's hospital 😊 have fun.
5 years before my mum! (Joe’s)
Conkers are a great way to keep the big spiders away, just put a few around the boat and the fatter ones stay away, still a few of the spindly ones which will catch the flies for you
So enjoy watching your films. We are seriously considering a barge to live on for a while and calm down from the years of working. What size barge would you say is a good size, yours is 50ft, correct, is it big enough space wise? I guess there are plusses and minuses.....cost/fees/ moorings/manoeuvrability etc....
Saturday? Saturday? what are you doing to my head? My body clock will now be wrong all week! 😀
Yeah we’re trialling Saturday so there’s a longer chance for people to watch over the weekend, not sure if it’s worked or not 😂
Hang on a minute did you just put tea and coffee into your cup 🥸. What was that lol
That’s Demerara sugar in an old coffee tin don’t panic 😂
Not a bad life! Travell but yet at home
Yeah it's the best of both worlds!
I wish some company would give you a electric bike 🚳 love your channel guy's. Have a great week ❣️
Thank you! We're working on it 😂
Might be worth putting a heat alarm (screwfix) over the cooking area and smoke alarm down one end of the boat.
We’ve got one smoke and one CO2 but more wouldn’t hurt to be honest, will check heat alarms out
FireAngel FA6720-R Battery Standalone Kitchen Heat Alarm 10 Year Battery Powered (403PT) £17.99 I've installed them in sheppard huts and had no issues. Good luck..
My sister retired as a mental health nursing supervisor in New York.
Awesome!
I found the evidence of sweetcorn comment funnier than I should 😂
😂 😂
How far along the Kennet and Avon are you heading? I live in Newbury if you need any pub recommendations ;-)
Right the way to London so we’ll be stopping in off Newbury! Yes please on the recommendations!
15:25 what location is that with bridges, a viaduct, railroad tunnel? There's a lot going on there.
Dundas Aquaduct! The one further along is Avoncliff
@@DanniandJoe Thank you!
Hi guys… Can I ask regarding your drone footage, do you fly it and steer boat at same time ? I live on a small trad and have an early Mavic drone but scared to fly it near boat as being all steel I thought would affect the fly to home or landing? Also the trees! 👍🏻
Yeah it’s a bit precarious but we take off from the moving boat fine, landing is a bit trickier but we just slow right down and fingers crossed it works!
What video editing software do you use? I want to learn 😊
We use FCPX (on a Mac) - it’s just a slightly more in depth version of iMovie (which is free if you have a Mac) - I’d recommend starting on that first!
Cant do that
😂😂 I mean Jo needs a wet suit. Maybe one for both so you don't get soaked cycling. 😊
😂😂
at around 1.24 you put a tea bag in each cup then a spoon of coffee in each cup too?!
😂😂 don’t worry, it’s sugar but we store tea bags and sugar in old coffee tins!
👍
Thank you!
So, Joe, you literally took the piss. 😂
Haha yeah every couple of days I take the piss!
Mate, tea shouldn’t be frothy. C’mon dude, we’re English,
That’s the oat milk Danni buys, have to shake it a little but think I was a touch aggressive 😂😂
I did wonder why the tea was frothy 😅
joe, how u going to blaming ur cooking finnesse on the fire alarm!!!
😂 😂
@@DanniandJoeJP/With so little space I bet a lot of people have trouble with fire alarms, and cooking with windows open if you don't have an oven fan is a must, and i have a feeling I'd be cooking with a microwave more than anything If I was living on a narrowboat.
Guys, why aren't you just tipping the p pots behind trees like everyone else does lol x
Afraid we’ll get told off 😂😂
Perfectly legal! Just ask the doggies if they get arrested lol @@DanniandJoe
How much would you say it costs to live on a narrow boat every year?
We did make a video about this a while back, ua-cam.com/video/sl2lVDNFrYY/v-deo.htmlsi=DuuYWmUCUuug02wG
I can’t remember what we said back then but depending if you’re getting a permanent mooring or CC’ing, anywhere from £6k to £10k!
How is Danni's anaemia, has she changed her diet
She’s keeping up with the tablets recommended and zinc too, getting there I think!
Why don't people have mud gards on bikes anymore?
Is it not 'Cool'. Always gives me a laugh seeing a muddy stripe up someones back 😂
We’re actually going to fit some, didn’t really think much of it when we cycled across Europe as assumed it’d be dry but it rained 50% of the time I think! Again assumed it would be dry in the summer here but that was silly as it definitely hasn’t been 😂😂
Dani you need a wet suit 😂
Gotta b v basic to be surprised by a girly boy in the 2020s. Lol
That’s a wood spider, very docile you really have to try hard to make it bite you. You can have it run around on your arm and hand it won’t bite unless you hurt it somehow. I move them by hand off my porch all the time. On cool days they will settle down on you because they are loving your body heat.
Ahh cute!
Thanks
Thank you very much!
