    now THAT is incredibly quiet! Amazing - also to hear the chatting and noises that go on naturally. For someone who has not been on a narrowboat (yet) this is quite an experience. And in an interesting way different from similar channels, even David’s old real time videos had a different vibe. Good luck - I’ll stay subscribed for a while and probably watch from time to time!

    Moving along the canal, from the bow prospective, appears to be almost silent - or I really am going deaf. I could clearly hear the lock gates being opened, but it surprised me how quiet it was, from up front.
    These videos are a great idea, and could have long-lasting historic value if you include all, or the majority, of the canal system.
    Thanks for the video.
