Looks like you had a nice dream there Robbie! You're heading up to where I moored over the winter at Swarkestone. You've got a LOOOONG way still to go though!
My favourite Robbie Cumming song is the one near the end of this video, just before Alrewas. Yours is my second narrowboat youtube channel, after Cruising the Cut, and I find myself recognising some places, which is quite a feat, given my rubbish memory 🤦🏻♂️.
Thought you were better than that.. Slagging off your elders...tut tut young Robbie..Respect..we all get old if we're lucky..am sure I am not the only old person to subscribe to your channel...I do enjoy watching your vlogs,don't spoil things ...take care xx
Cheers Andy. Can I just say though, it really doesn’t matter to me how old someone is, if they make an arrogant remark chances are I ain’t gonna like it! I’m only human! I always show respect to others - but if they disrespect me then what do they expect! Thanks for watching the vlogs, yes you are definitely not alone - 50% are between 45-65 - but I don’t pander to demographics you know that! 8^)
YEP! ... I definitely think #Karma has your back there Robbie ..... Us 'Oldies' get enormous pleasure from grumbling and putting you Young'uns in your place ;-)
A sleeping dog in the pub, hopefully they’ll let me bring my two boisterous pups in! Great video with some lovely photography. I don’t know how you’re managing to keep up with the videos and the boat move but thanks, I’m really enjoying them.
Thank you Sylvia, well with so much breaking down (currently awaiting an engineer) I have had extra time - plus Lou has been treating me to pub dinners so not much cooking!
Mmmm.... going fast past moored boats for revenge, karma will indeed get yer - the boat next door to the one you showed was mine and that lady is my good neighbour !! Tut tut Robbie
I'm really enjoying your daily vlogging. Keep up the good work sir. I wonder if the old lady was trying to get you to save water by starting to fill the lower chamber before emptying the upper one. It means a bit more walking when you're single handed but does save a lot of water. An old chap on a coal boat going down Marple flight explained it to me last year.
Ok blew passed my other channels bc I was so worried if you made it threw that dangerous stretch of the pass... lol... I knew ya did. When you 1st showed that dog on the floor it looked like a child laying on the floor with a blanket over it... hahaha, my eyes aren't so keen these days.. lol... & that beer looked great & I don't even drink any more, but I liked the color of it & it looked so refreshing. You did good by not bashing the old lady on the path. She might be right but it's like you say she didn't have to be so damn rude. My Grandma always told me this: You get more with sugar then you do with VINGER.... & she was so right. She passed in 2012 & I sure miss that old bat... lol... She was something else. She taught me how to cook. I can made chicken noodle soup from scratch. I don't even own a rolling pen. I use a glass to roll out my noodles. I'm very careful not to break the glass. So don't worry about that happening. I wouldn't want to have to start the whole noodle doe over. To long of a process. So you be really really careful... lol.. It looks like your making good time? But I don't know much about canal life so I don't know if your making good time or not. I do know about that rain & it sucks. Lucky for me I have one of those bikini tops I can put up to keep sun & rain off of you. And we love it. It's hard to get under it to fish off the back side of the boat. But I can get my little fat body under it... lol... I'm not really that fat. Ok going back to regular schedule broadcasting... lol... Keep on CRANKING it on Mr. Robbie, Chris
Robbie Cumming yes she was... I'm going to have that tattooed on my body. Maybe on my ass bc she could be a smart ass at times to. And the bad part of I was she knew when & how too use it. She was a hoot & I can see her right now flapping her lips & thoughts was the good olè days .............. I miss her really bad.... Have a nice day, Chris
Crazy weather! I know most folks will find the graffiti off putting, and a lot of it is, but sometimes I really enjoy it like in this video. Have A Super Fantastic Day!
Just to let you know. Cranfleet Flood Gates are currently closed (just after Trent Junction).. Not sure about Shardlow, but Cranfleet is, who knows, how long for with this rain.... Great Videos...Thanks Carl & Gemma
Maybe if you had sent the staff ahead and set all the locks in your favour you would have done the distance in half the time young man. Love the cruise Robbie, keep on cranking.
Isn't it great receiving unsolicited advice like that. She probably thought she was being really clever about it. The first thing that popped into my head was "it's Mandy Cohen."
Loved it. Maybe you should have told the lady. If she'd did the locks for you, it would have been a lot easier for you also. But I'm just a smart ass. As far as the dreams go. Maybe lay of the beer.
Ha ha yeah that’s it! Never been good at witty retorts as it’s always led to more trouble! I actually just stared in disbelief at the unhelpful arrogance of the woman!
BTW IMO Cruising The Cut is more pro....Journey with Jono is more tech savy....This Narrow Boat Adventure is farrrrrrrr more sexy. But your channel is by a long way the funniest.
I am old Robbie, 76 years old. Subscribed. Love your site. I am not sad or a bint. Nor am i unsubscribing. Just choose your choice of words a little better.
Hey Lee, I’m not sure - I guess it’s just in a place where lots of people visit to take photos of boats etc and it gets in the way?! I wanted to go inside to see if it was even more special inside but needed to get crankin!
for us americans. ha. tickled me that one. hey i notice quite alot of americans interested in the narrowboat vlogs. dont blame you. see its all sail boats whith you lot, imagine if the usa made canals, and narrowboats. your country would boom again.
Stephen Yates I'm only 2 miles south of the Ohio River, but I can't swim and have never owned a boat, so all I can do is... Look... at the river lol. And I'm several hours away from any ocean. But no, America can't agree on anything these days, can't imagine trying to get canals approved. Elon Musk can't even get his tunnels approved for high speed travel.
i live a mile away from the river mersey, and coasts, a place in england called the wirral., i have just paid a deposit on a narrowboat myself and plan on doing a year cruise, through towns ,citys and countryside. dream stuff realy.
I think it sounds really nice myself, especially the open countryside. Amazingly, much of your country side looks fairly similar to Kentucky. I'm stuck in a city of maybe 90,000, but within 5 minutes I can see rolling fields and hills.
Some kind of horrific nightmare at the end there, oh dear.
That's because he as sleeping on those scary looking rabbits.....LOL
Looks like you had a nice dream there Robbie! You're heading up to where I moored over the winter at Swarkestone. You've got a LOOOONG way still to go though!
Yes THANK YOU JONO 😂

Ha ha enjoyed this vlog as always thanks Robbie 😊 looking forward to the next and hope the weather is better for you
Thanks Kay 8^)

“Sad old bint” the worst kind of bint...
Fradley junction remember it well coming home to K&A from Nottingham it was sleeting then! Great vids
YEP! ... I definitely think #Karma has your back there Robbie ..... Us 'Oldies' get enormous pleasure from grumbling and putting you Young'uns in your place ;-)

Loved the use of the word “bint” it’s been ages! Also loved what you dream about! 😂😂
Ha ha yeah I think in this case it was accurate. I just hate being talked down to by smarmy arrogant people, bints or otherwise!! Fever dreams!! 8^)
I'm really enjoying your daily vlogging. Keep up the good work sir.

LOL. I like that dream you had there, Robbie. Great video as always!
I have very strange dreams! Thanks Brian 8^)
That's OK, me too. XD

Keep on CRANKING it on Mr. Robbie,
Chris
Ha ha thanks Chris that was entertaining in itself and I loved your Grandma’s quote, what a wise lady she must have been. 8^)
Robbie Cumming yes she was... I'm going to have that tattooed on my body. Maybe on my ass bc she could be a smart ass at times to. And the bad part of I was she knew when & how too use it. She was a hoot & I can see her right now flapping her lips & thoughts was the good olè days .............. I miss her really bad....
Have a nice day,
Chris
Worrying dreams there Robbie...I recommend at lest two more pints in future before taking to your bed!
Crazy weather! I know most folks will find the graffiti off putting, and a lot of it is, but sometimes I really enjoy it like in this video.
Have A Super Fantastic Day!
Thanks Mama D!! 8^)
Really enjoyed this video. Nice editing Robbie.
Ah thanks bud 8^)
I think we’ve come across that woman on those moorings in Fradley too! 😂😂
Ha ha ha brilliant it’s not just me then! 8^D
You are a funny guy. :-) Great filming, editing and sound track..
Ha ha well I’m only funny when I’m not trying to be! Thanks Norman! 8^)
Just to let you know. Cranfleet Flood Gates are currently closed (just after Trent Junction).. Not sure about Shardlow, but Cranfleet is, who knows, how long for with this rain.... Great Videos...Thanks Carl & Gemma
Thanks C&G that’s great to know. Got to go back to my own boat now as the “holiday” is over! Will see Lou through to Sheffield eventually.
Maybe if you had sent the staff ahead and set all the locks in your favour you would have done the distance in half the time young man. Love the cruise Robbie, keep on cranking.
Ha ha you git thanks Darren!! 8^)
It would not suit you Robbie to be a cranky cranker. Enjoying this vlog. 3c in Rishton and freezing cold today.
Sounds like the bint I bumped into in Burton upon Trent. Funny dream scene hahaha!
Ha ha there’s always one! Thanks dude and thanks for supporting the vlog #crankitcrew 8^)
Great filming robbie, next best thing to being on a boat ⛴
That’s great to hear cheers Greg 8^)
The Weather is quite intresting all over Europe in the Moment. We have 3 inches of snow here in Hamburg on Wednesday Night, not realy Spring, isnt it?
Interesting! Yes this Easter weekend feels more like Christmas!! 8^)
Isn't it great receiving unsolicited advice like that. She probably thought she was being really clever about it. The first thing that popped into my head was "it's Mandy Cohen."
another ace vid! crank up the dreams! lol
Hoping the river levels are ok for you as you reach the Trent
Crikey rob I've spent some hours of my life blasting up and down that road at 7:19 in an artic.
fucking hell that was some nightmare dream that Ale is nuts m8
You should keep a running tally of how many locks you've tackled during the journey, must be an insane amount.
Good idea! 8^)
You can see why I want a boat.
Another good video
When you said she (the old bint) was technically correct, do you mean she was??
Trent & Mersy. Home of the Mersey beat?
I guess! Probably best to say Liverpool just to be on the safe side!
Loved it. Maybe you should have told the lady. If she'd did the locks for you, it would have been a lot easier for you also. But I'm just a smart ass. As far as the dreams go. Maybe lay of the beer.
Ha ha yeah that’s it! Never been good at witty retorts as it’s always led to more trouble! I actually just stared in disbelief at the unhelpful arrogance of the woman!
You should have waved more! Missed ner ner, ner ner, ner ner! Cheers
Amazing well done.....you make my day!!!!!!!!! Please teach me how to vlog?
Ha ha thanks sure what do you want to know!
Nah. Shove the old crone in.
HAHAHA bunny sheets huh, no wonder having nightmares, hahaha
BTW IMO Cruising The Cut is more pro....Journey with Jono is more tech savy....This Narrow Boat Adventure is farrrrrrrr more sexy. But your channel is by a long way the funniest.
Your dreams are like mine.
I am old Robbie, 76 years old. Subscribed. Love your site. I am not sad or a bint. Nor am i unsubscribing. Just choose your choice of words a little better.
Thanks Sylvia - apologies for that, I think next time I will just bleep the words and leave it to the viewer’s imagination! 8^)
😂😂😂
Lol, now that is Karma, told off twice and they're both old......i see a pattern emerging... ;)
I always give time and respect to the 'elders'.. But sometimes i think...
Why is the world so crap? Ok I'll shut up! X Respect to you Mam.
Chill out Sylvia.....it’s a fact that there are some sad old bints in the world...it wasn’t aimed at you.
Good one lol.
For us Americans, what's up with the Swan?
Hey Lee, I’m not sure - I guess it’s just in a place where lots of people visit to take photos of boats etc and it gets in the way?! I wanted to go inside to see if it was even more special inside but needed to get crankin!

Keep chipping the miles off mate.
