  • After a frustrating few weeks of waiting to sell my campervan, it has finally been sold and gone to a new home. Now free to cruise I set off from Barby to Rugby. Passing through Hillmorton Locks, the busiest on the network. I cruise along this picturesque part of the North Oxford Canal and moor up close to the centre of Rugby.
    Apologies for the poor sound towards the end of the video I should have picked up on it. 😟🤔

    It's been a pleasure meeting you & your friend & we already feel we know you quite well despite only meeting you twice!
    The camper is now known as Max & has now been given a new personalised plate! We've been busy taking some of the stickers off & making it our own.
    Hopefully we will meet again in the future & we'll definitely be following your next journey in your new boat. You're a very knowledgeable man & have some great life experiences. Take care Alan & good luck in your travels. We feel honoured to get a mention 😊
    Also thank you so much for delivering the camper up here!!

    And we’re off!🙌🏻😃 Glad you got the camper sold and really looking forward to watching what you get up to. Looks like the CRT have cut the Bankside and then left the cuttings to just fall in to the canal 😒Happy cruising ☺️

      I must admit I was getting worried about living on bread and water for much longer. Now I can have a decent meal and a vino or two. 🤣🤣🤣

    Pleased to hear you've sold the camper Alan now its freedom !! I become a boat owner next week so perhaps our paths (canals) will cross.

    Thanks for the nature scenes, one of the reasons I enjoy these videos. Also 11:45 you're moored up at Rugby, not Oxford. Are you going to make use of the canal pubs? There's one coming up at Ansty with the very canal name "Rose and Castle".

    • @TheNarrowboatNomad

      Opp’s slipped up there, should have said in Rugby and on the Oxford canal. Thanks for the heads up on the Rose and Castle.

    We would have liked to see you clean prop and remove weed hatch, plus a gander at your engine, all part of the adventure, ps lovely boat

      No doubt you will see the engine and me down the weed hatch before long. 😀🤔

    Please, please invest in a microphone that will pick up your voice. I have my computer sound at the highest level and you're coming over as a whisper.
    Would have liked to have heard your witty commentary. Perhaps next time 😏

    • @TheNarrowboatNomad

      Sorry, thanks for pointing that out. The mic I was using broke when my camera fell. The sound seems fine on my computer though.
