When my daughter was young we spent many happy a day at cassiobury park usually walking along the canal from Nash mills red lion a play in the park and a ride on the train a play in the paddling pool now I believe a splash park plus a fishing net in the gade
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle it certainly is a lovely park and ideal for the kids without having to spend loads of money just the price of an ice cream and the train ride and we are talking between 1986/1993
Beautiful Vince - just beautiful scenery 😍 What a lovely life you have now 😊 Just meandering along - as you said no need to rush 😀 Lovely 🙂 And you deserve it 😊 Shame about your laptop & lost footage but that's now in the past 😒 Look forward to what's coming 😀 & all the adventures & footage still to be had 🤗 Bring on the next one 😊 Lots of love xxx
Another relaxing vlog Vince your having good weather that helps. Bad luck with laptop. How's Clare I bet your looking forward to her next visit. You take care and stay safe.
Hello again Vince and many thanks for the memories of Cassiobury Park a nice reminder of the couple of times we cruised for a week up to Stoke Bruerne and back. Very sad to hear of the loss of the West Draton to Watford section, I'd have loved to see that now. I have many good memories of that route. These things are sent to try us but the calmness of the canals help sooth the pain. Keep up the good work, Kevin.
Viewing all your videos, Vince. You're doing what I have always wanted to do but alas living down under we don't have a canal system, all my boating has been on open water. Good to see you have waste barges like we have, got to hand it to the old Captain Crap and their Turd mates. lol
Hope you enjoy them! We are lucky here to have the inland waterways. I reckon the crap boat makes a decent living. but it's not for everyone! See you on another one!
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle I live near Uxbridge and have friends in Watford. So, know the park pretty well. Looking forward to your future canal travels..thank you for sharing 😊
Hi, enjoyable video. If you haven't gone through Milton Keynes yet can I recommend a mooring place immediately after bridge 75. It is in the north of MK. There is good solar, 4g, TV, open parkland either side of the canal and an Asda 5 minute walk
Enjoyable vlog to watch , glad to have come across your channel as of late and really enjoy your straight up the guts commentry all the way down here in New Zealand. Keep up the great work.
That was a good’un. So beautiful. I have to restrict myself to one (?)ish trips a day and not gobble them all up at once. I live in deepest Hertfordshire…seen it all from motorways etc, so seeing the lovely country surrounding the rivers and canals is a special pleasure. I agree with you, it’s a knockout. another thank you.
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle . Co incidence is a funny thing. I watched part 1 of BBC on Demand The Metropolitan Museum this afternoon. They showed a couple of rooms from Cassiobury along with a stunning staircase from the hall. Amazing carpentry. Worth a look. Never knew the USA had some interiors of GB’s stately homes.
@@rikkiharcourt3868 That's an interesting coincidence! So some of it still survives. A lot of the stately homes were pulled down after the First World War!
Another Great Video Vince! Such a shame to lose all that footage, it's heartbreaking when you have spent so much time collecting it all too. Well hopefully the new laptop won't let you down x
Hi ya. So glad you are back doing vlogs. Was wondering how you was, and why no vlogs for a while. I love your seeing your journeys and all the pretty scenery. Oh and miss your London accent ! Stay well from a fellow Londoner. Cheerio x
Loving your videos. Hope to see you exploring lots of the canal network. It’s so interesting, especially when you look into the history of the various canals.
sorry to hear of your laptop probs,but great to see you back again doing what you do best giving us a terrific veiw of canal life as you see it,i feel like i am there with you and enjoying the trips as well.keep up the good work vince see you soon.
Vince . . . Good to see you on here again with another cracking vlog. Loved it mate and the scenery was stunning. Shame about your lost footage. . these things happen I suppose. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you soon.
It is nice around here Mark, just a little setback with the computer, but like you said its just one of them things! Look after yourself see you soon, Vin
Shame about the lost footage but this more than makes up for it, the GU looks beautiful in the sunshine. Never seen a 'pump-out' boat before, I wonder if any boats make an excuse not to share the lock with him. lol
Good to see you back Vince, sorry to hear about the lost footage.. Its a lot to loose. Scenery is gorgeous still hope you're enjoying it as much as we are. Thank you for sharing. Have a good week.
Wotcha mate. Great to see you out & about again. Shame about the laptop etc maybe go down that way again sometime. Great video mate keep them coming always look forward to your way of doing stuff. Up the Ammers cheers see ya
Really enjoyed the vlog. I especially like the way you show your starting point on a map. I am right there beside you as you go pootling along albeit i am using Google Earth. South Carolina
What a shame about your laptop. I think we’ve all had similar issues to some extent but that’s a lot of video!! Enjoyed the ride as usual. Beautiful area! 👍👊😎
Hello Vince, nice video, lovely weather and scenery, quiet jealous here at the end of August! Heartbreaking about the laptop but are you sure it's not just the computer that's failed? If the drive is still working you (somebody) could easily retrieve your precious stuff...
Great to see you back charming us with your humour. Bad luck with the laptop, is there no way of retrieving data from ur hard drive? Great shots of the GU with super clear video's. Look fwd to more of ur Vlogs. Gerry. NI
Cassiobury park looked nice. It would make a nice stop off point to take a break. Towpath is rather busy there too. Are you finding the GU busier with boat movements than the Lea and Stort were and London as most of them were moored up? Seen lots of fuel boats before but never seen a pump out boat. You did say you would show us things Warts an all 😂
That was great matey....just what i needed after a challenging day !! So peaceful and tranquil...I was actually knackered after watching it and needed a small sleep. Was this always a long term plan going off grid etc ? Or did you just wake up 1 morning and think there must be more to life than working to live? All the best and look forward to 26 Hemel & Berko !!
Hope everything is OK Stuart! I was just looking for a way to get out of debt, and getting away from stress, and a job that I've hated for 45 years! Looking forward to Berko, see you next time!
good to see you back, can i ask what do live aboards like yourself do about medical issues ie; finding a doctor or getting medication is there a system for this that you all use ?
Wherever you bought the replacement laptop from, should have been able to remove the old hard drive and transfer your footage files to the new one (unless the old hard disk was a kaput). Another nice video anyway.
Hi Vince, I back up everything on the Cloud and by using 'Time Machine' Since i lost my Windows based Laptop, i sold my Soul to 'Apple' and have never looked back. If i lost my hard drive it would be disastrous and wouldn't know what i would do. Take Care, it's a Mad Mad World out there. p.s Don't fall into bad habits and only open 'One ' Lock gate. This is how so much damage gets done to the seals, hence the leaks.
About your PS Nobby, I can see where you're coming from. But even every lock that there's been CRT lock volunteers operating them that I have been through, they have only opened one gate! It's a bit of a quandary mate.
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle Hi Vince, Reading in the Waterways Mag, the CRT really frown upon boaters only opening one Gate. If their own volunteers do it, what can one say. Carry on regardless and enjoy you boating life mate. Hope to join you sometime, as I am looking at another boat this weekend. Take Care.
Another fantastic vlog, I really like your style. As I’ve said before, I’d take lots of decent commentary over royalty free music any day.
Thanks for that S N!
Another lovely video! It all looks So pretty! Looks like you had a beautiful day for it... Well done Dad xxx
Some of it is very pretty around here Clare xxx
When my daughter was young we spent many happy a day at cassiobury park usually walking along the canal from Nash mills red lion a play in the park and a ride on the train a play in the paddling pool now I believe a splash park plus a fishing net in the gade
I thought that was a lovely looking park, with plenty for the kids to do!
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle it certainly is a lovely park and ideal for the kids without having to spend loads of money just the price of an ice cream and the train ride and we are talking between 1986/1993
Another great video Vince, thank you. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Thanks Greg! Hope you enjoy it!
Oh what a shame Vince about the loss of all your hard work but what you showed us was wonderful. What a beautiful, peaceful place. See you soon. xx
Yes its very nice around here! See you soon xxx
Lovely area Vince really shows how pleasant the towpath views can be. What a shame about the lost footage! At least it was after crossing London.
Nice around here Robbie! I would have been gutted if I lost that London footage. See you next time Vin!
" So he's full of it " . Love a bit of toilet humour :-)
I wouldn't fancy doing his job Ray!

There was some nice looking scenery around there Sandy!
Looked like a wonderful cruise! Keep on enjoying yourself!
Yes, it is nice around here John!
Hi mate Ron from Aus here - fantastic journey on this one - when you were in lock down did the solar do everything - didn’t even run the engine ..
Hello Ron! I had to run the engine for an hour a day in the winter months! In the spring the solar panels were good enough!

Lovely vlog as usual, very informative and fantastic scenery. You must be one of the best Canal vlogers. Thanks Vince
Thanks Martin high praise indeed!
Beautiful properties as well as scenery along this stretch. Thanks for taking us along. Have a Blessed day.
It's been a lovely surprise along the GU, and it's my pleasure!
Glad to see you back...

Glad you're pootling along with me Russ!
To echo the comments of so many here, sorry to hear of your hardware failure and content loss - love your journey vlogs Vince :)
Cheers Brian, glad you like them!
What a shame about your laptop. I think we’ve all had similar issues to some extent but that’s a lot of video!!
Enjoyed the ride as usual. Beautiful area!
👍👊😎
Yes a lot of wasted effort, but one of those things!
Hello Vince, nice video, lovely weather and scenery, quiet jealous here at the end of August! Heartbreaking about the laptop but are you sure it's not just the computer that's failed? If the drive is still working you (somebody) could easily retrieve your precious stuff...
Cheers Nick! When I get a chance I will take another look at the computer!
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle I'd offer to help but I'm in North London, closer to where you started than where you are now! Anyway fingers crossed!
@@nkiey Cheers anyway Nick!
Nice to see you back, this is a part of the GU we know well from walking. Did you get help with trying to recover data?
Microsoft was useless! I couldn't even get it to boot up!
I have sent you a Facebook message in case we can help x
Brill mate nice
did know there were people who empty your toilet
Cheers, yes he pumps out the big toilet tanks!
wonderful scenery, too bad about the laptop and the lost footage,
It is very nice around here Linda!
Alright, mate, nice video shame you lost so much footage; however, these things are sent to try us.
Cheers Tony, one of them things mate!
Fab like all ways sorry to here about the laptop
Cheers Robin!
Great to see you back charming us with your humour. Bad luck with the laptop, is there no way of retrieving data from ur hard drive?
Great shots of the GU with super clear video's.
Look fwd to more of ur Vlogs.
Gerry. NI
Thanks mate! I tried all I could to retrieve the footage Gerry, I got some of it back off of the cloud. But I just have to except it I suppose!
glad to see and hear you again. When you can afford it, perhaps get a backup disk to backup your laptop.
I will have to do that Andy, when the boat comes in (as they say)
Cassiobury park looked nice. It would make a nice stop off point to take a break. Towpath is rather busy there too. Are you finding the GU busier with boat movements than the Lea and Stort were and London as most of them were moored up? Seen lots of fuel boats before but never seen a pump out boat.

Cassiobury is a lovely park! And I would say that the GU is twice as busy as the Lea & Stort so far Paul! Yes that must be a smelly old job.
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle yeah not one I would like to do. His nose is probably immune to the smell now though
" World Leaders" careful mate you nearly went into one of your rants🤣 Looks lovely, sent you a message! Take care Vince.
You gotta watch them Jeff haha! I'll have a look and get back to you later Mate!
Bad news about the laptop. Did start to get a bit concerned at not seeing you for awhile, glad to be joining you on your cruise again.
It took a while to get set up again Dave!
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle I guess it would have. I had a hard drive go to meet it's maker and lost stuff.
@@ukdave57 Plus I'm not really computer savvy!

Turn the volume up a bit next time, lower than usual, mayde new laptop PC.
Maybe laptop, I will keep my eye on it next time!
Wondered where you had been got spoiled too much having a shipmate Vin sorry about the laptop how far are you travelling upnorth
I've got no real plans Peter, I might go up to Crick and take it from there!
good to see you back, can i ask what do live aboards like yourself do about medical issues ie; finding a doctor or getting medication is there a system for this that you all use ?
I'm not too sure about that, but I will have to cross that bridge when I come to it I suppose Elliot!
Lovely vlog, scenery superb. Is it just me and my equipment or are you quietly spoken or the volume is low? Looking forward to the next trip.
Cheers Bill! It did come out a bit quiet when uploaded to UA-cam for some reason!
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle good that confirms my Mrs was wrong when she said I should get my hearing tested!!
