Kevin, do give us more of your homespun philosophy, quirky insights on life, and personal anecdotes. That's what sets your channel apart from the myriad of worthy boating channels.
Hi Kevin and finally after watching what seems like zillions of your videos, I'm finally writing. As I mentioned to you via another platform, I'm not a seasoned narrowboater, my experience is mainly of the North Sea out of the Tyne as a fisherman and sea angling boat operator. However I have to agree with you and many others that the Middlewich Branch of the Shroppie is a beautiful and calming experience. If I never went on any other stretch of canal, I could be happy just chugging along between the Wardle and Barbridge. Your videos have always brought me calm and relaxation in these testing times and I also agree wholeheartedly with you on your views about the last couple of years. I thank you for proving to me that I'm not the only one who thinks similarly. Take care for now and I'll be eagerly looking out for your next offering. No pressure eh?! Cheers from Bob in Geordie land.
Great cruise and interesting contrasts. The whole section from Middlewich up Heartbreak hill , through Harecastle Tunnel is fantastic and so much less crowded than the Shroppie route north/south
Cheers. Yes what struck me was how infrequent the boat traffic was, and the remoteness of the surrounding landscape, even a couple of miles from a huge town like Kidsgrove.
That was a very enjoyable jaunt on the canal with you and Aslan, Kevin. Thank you for the lovely spring scenery, the blossoms were lovely and I love seeing the swans and ducks too. One thing I particularly noticed was the contrast in pace between the serenity of the canal and the rush, rush, rush of the roads. I know which one I prefer! Looking forward to watching your next video. I’ve nearly caught up! Bye for now.
Your love for pork pies is legendary. Your love for a chicken vindaloo almost as much. Wouldn’t worry too much about the chimney, you aren’t the first and won’t be the last. One of the perils, I imagine. Anymore cooking coming up? Always a treat. It’s great to see you happy on the cut. Cheers Scott
Evening Kevin " SUNSHINE ON sunny days" haha!! Thanks for video. We loved the improvisation with the black bag..... very "upmarket" as we would have used an old carrier bag 😄 love the scenery and your sence of humour, you do make me laugh, you will never know how that has so often lifted my spirit and left an inner smile so..... "CHEERS TO YOU KEVIN" keep smiling, keep safe and keep travelling. Flossy & Jan x
Pretty, yes, very much so. The word that kept popping onto my mind is cheery. What a lovely episode. Its very cool that you got so much help from viewers! I wish I could, but thanks to all of them that did. Enjoy!!
Delightful canal journey, although a bit noisy due to traffic. You know you’re settling into the boating life when you define the time of day as “still light”. ☺️
Hi Kevin. We cruised past Aslan on the T&M last Wednesday (April 13). You were moored up in the mile long gap between the two chains of locks. We were a bit star struck to see your famous boat. The last frame of this video is where we moored up too, albeit going in the opposite direction. A lovely spot it was. We enjoyed a long sunset and watching the trains go by. Thanks for all your videos. You're a natural broadcaster.
I get so much pleasure from your canal journeys in many ways but one way in particular. Due to Sepsis I have lost my balance and can only move any distance outside the house with the aid of some kind of wheely frame. With your camera and all that you have to do I get the same sensations of moving as if I WERE moving. It is amazing and very very satisfying. Bet you never thought you were giving people like me a dose of excitement and physical satisfaction in our trying circumstances.
Growing up in the UK , a comment like yours about children would have got a laugh. I live in the US now and used it a party a few years back and got asked to leave ;-) it made me laugh so keep it coming …
The morrings next to the allotment are awesome it's a bit tricky with the fenders but once you get that sorted it's okay........ It's nice to see other people enjoying the same spots that you have enjoy the rest of your trip..👍👍
was feeling a bit stressed but went to a Good Friday service this evening and came home to a new video by the man himself…cuppa a tea and feet up lovely…👍
Hi Kevin This is Groovygail from California..love your videos..look forward to them each time they drop..I am an expat and just seeing the beautiful countryside makes me feel less homesick..please keep cruising..you make me laugh out loud often.. My son knows when I'm watching a new video because he can hear the chug chug of the engine, so he fires up his TV and watches too 🥰 Thank you
What a relaxed way of life Kevin apart from unruly outspoken Middlewich kids !! They always hang about around there being an absolute pain ! You are so polite and calm, again must be the relaxed lifestyle 😌 thanks for the vlog Kevin and keeping us up to date !! Put you tin hat on going through Stoke 😑😑😳
Kevin, enjoying Your adventures and the English countryside. Even if the countryside is industrial. The way it goes sometimes. Sorry to see Aslan got damaged, you’ll make it right. I like signage some vessels have, very cool. Take care. David n Pam
First ..Aslan really is looking great..and as always sounds great to.Very pleasant listening to your boat chugging a bit louder than my Bassett hound snores! Lol..😊 Enjoyed the vlog as always.....hope your Easter is pleasant!😊 Its nice to see how comfortable you are cruising the canals..Your very nice company.....😊
Kevin, once again a marvelous segment. I've been dealing with some issues for the last week and your speech and demeanor are so very calming. Thanks for the calming influence. Can't wait for the next part of your journey..
@@CountryHouseGent I believe that the line is from one of the Pink Panther movies?? I seem to remember that Inspector Dreyfus interacting with Clouseau??? I loved those movies...
I simply must compliment you on your scene composition and editing prowess. I have been following you since your first season, and you have constantly improved and refined your video storytelling skills. This latest tour is a very fine piece of work. Well done, Sir.
Great photography Kevin. I really get feel of the beautiful/tranquil countryside and never tire of it. I must comment on the amount of exercise you get climbing on and off Aslan and opening all the gates. You truly get a work out! Thanks for the ride Kevin and Happy Easter! Cheers!
Loving the comments about your twin....I was watching late last night and thought I was too tired and just seeing things. Glad to know my eyes weren't playing tricks. 🤣 Wishing you well at Easter and always.
Great job going through those narrow locks. Great to see the springtime weather. Here in KY. It is almost warm. Lots of rain and wind. I long for a warm sun on my back. Thanks.
The boat names you highlighted were just “spot on!” I enjoyed them greatly. And that comment, “I can control the boat much more fluidly when I’m on it,” that play of words had me smiling. You did get some gorgeous spring filming, a pretty week indeed. So now I’m left to ponder, what was Kevin thinking about with the thousand yard stare? And, why did he leave us with that last shot? (That’s not how I described it the first time I wrote it;) That second question could be anything from the metaphorically sublime to, well, we’ll leave it at metaphorically sublime. More entertaining thoughts until I see you next week. Hope you don’t mind a little joking, and lifting a cup of tea to you from here. Thanks for another great vid!
Morning Kevin , another excellent and funny episode! Thanks for the mention and it was a pleasure to assist you through the locks - stay safe , we sadly are at the end of our holiday now .
Aslan strikes again, when I see your film pop up, i wait eagerly till bed to watch It, and yet again whilst listening to Aslan's engine I fall asleep several minutes from the end.... I would be nodding off at the helm 🤣😂🤣 excellent work as always Kev man, this new series is just what this screwy world needs, perfect for peaceful relaxation, thank you very much and please do continue making this amazing series.
Can't tell you how thankful I am that you and Aslan are once again sharing your journey with us! I just started watching Well Deck Diaries and in #10 at 12:30 they cruise past moored Aslan on the way to Crick. ❤️ 😜 I've re watched that few seconds of video several times 🤣
Well well well, I never knew about that. That's for pointing that out. Good to see. Brought it all back, those 3 years ago. It sure is good to be back travelling and filming again. Cheers Olivia and thanks for watching. 🙂
Hi, NBWill, thanks for your vids, always interesting, your reflections on life, your information on the cut and surrounding area. I probably should write more comments that I do. We are a couple of months from leaving Ohio to join all you narrowboaters for couple of years on the canals. Thank you again, look after yourself. Colin and Heather
Nice ,casual ride along the canal. Glad the kids didn’t do any damage . Love the sequencial views of the lock. It felt like being there in real time. You certainly get a great workout with all that hard work ! ❤️
Oh yeah ending shot was "pretty" enlightening. Lol Your video was so good just am greedy and wish it were longer. Loved seeing all the spring flowers and trees blooming. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels and Godspeed. Tx🇺🇲
@@CountryHouseGent I was being thoughtless and greedy 🙃 sowwy. I love Friday's cuz I get to settle in for some down time with you and Aslan and your experiences on the canals. I don't recall but have you circled around the canals nesw? Safe travels 🙏
@@CountryHouseGent there is one picture of the bridge and lock I haven’t seen. It’s no where to be found. And it can only be taken on a narrowboat. Just under a bridge going into a lock. It’s a sweet spot. Haha!
@@CountryHouseGent heck no. I’m just a 60 year old man enjoy your videos. I’m afraid to put them on Facebook even. They are just between me and you. But I will show them to my friends and family. If I can get that picture I’m looking for, I’ll try and show it to you. If possible. 👍
Thanks for another lovely vlog Kevin you are doing a good job as usual take care now hope you get a restful Easter Ann n David🐣🐥🐣we are not boaters just oldies who luv watching you
First, let me say that I enjoyed eating my Saturday breakfast while I watched this vlog. It did my heart good that you got so much assistance at those locks! And I’m looking forward to the next episode to see if you find somewhere pretty to moor up. Thanks for catching those interesting names of other narrowboats along the canal! Bye-bye for now!
Indeed, I often think I would love to buy a nice, slightly fancy wrist watch. But I'd never wear it cos I try to avoid 'time', so would be a waste of money. 😁
You’re obviously enjoying being out and I am jealous and wish we were on the cut, too. Dr.Syn is still in Garstang for a while until the skipper is fit again, so your excellent videos are a pleasure to watch. You were very polite about the kids…….!🤣
I discovered your channel, when you put out a Harley Davidson video. Been hooked ever since. You can tell when someone puts a lot of time and effort into thier content. It pays off for me as a viewer, I hope it pays off for you. Then it's a win, win. Looking forward to your summer adventures, and more of that dry British humor. Cheers and crack on mate.
Now I know how to build my chimneys just in case I need to defend them against an invasion of screaming chipmunks from Normandy! Thanks for, Kevin! Enjoyed every minute of it!
Kev, I see your thousand yard stare is at ninja level. Respect it takes years of practice to achieve. When ever I try it people offer to help me cross the road. On a serious note though, love the format and content of your vlogs. I eagerly look forward to the next instalment of travels, observations and not forgetting;…..wit! 👍🏻🙏🏻😎
Thanks Ian though the camping videos were a little bit of fun. A pleasant change and was never intemded to be a new avenue of video making, just something different.
When I was a kid my father paid me to haul 10 gal. of water to a oil well pump jack. It was a Hit and Miss one lunger that sounded like the boat at Time stop 8:00 min. It had a 8 gal. water jacket for evap cooling. You could hear it from 5-6 miles away. KABOOM boom boom boom boom. The KABOOM was when it started on the up take of the sucker rod and the boom boom was the fall of the sucker rod. The fly wheel was huge.
Well spotted Gern. The engine was a one cylinder hit and miss Bolinder. One of the earliest diesel boat engines. The engine can even be reversed as no gearbox fitted with those engines.
Good One Kevin! Just hanging out with you while you go through your locks listening to Aslan’s engines and your occasional voice guidance. I know an older professional woman who married a guy with younger kids “ You need someone to wipe your arse when you get older” no doubt 😃🍀👍❤️
Hey hey. Hope all is well. I have just discovered that the canal we have here In The states, Eerie canal in Pennsylvania and New York offers canal boat rentals. The canal boats offered are exactly like the UK canal boats because they were built there. Pretty neat. I have just discovered these and I tend to go all the way to the north east soon to enjoy, thanks to you and your videos. Haha. Although it’s not the same views and exact experience at least it’s the true canal boat experience here in the states.
Good Evening Kevin and All who read this, picking up the feeling behind "No Particular Place To Go" ......much contemplating.....I thought I were not greatly attached to my flat, but it does bring me a level of a sense of security in familiarity. Having no geographical stake does it bring a freedom,though in my mind it takes a special level of self strength and greater reliability in your Being and Soul, so emphazied by going alone in such a journey. How you fair and think your way though this you good CountryHouseGent? Many thanks.
Thanks Kevin, another relaxing Vlog ! Time for me to wake up from my Idyllic snooze-n-cruise ! Naah ! I'll just play the Vlog, one more time (only !) ! Honest ! Stay safe ! Stu xx
Kevin, do give us more of your homespun philosophy, quirky insights on life, and personal anecdotes. That's what sets your channel apart from the myriad of worthy boating channels.
Agree, wholeheartedly.
Perfect 👍
"I like children but I couldnt eat a whole one!" I love it Kevin! Your production editing is the best too
Thanks,
TC
Even when you are going slow and no where in particular we like the journey. Leslie
That was nice of your twin Kevin 2 To help with the other gate.
😁 He has his uses.

Soooo, the more viewers you have, Kevin, the fewer locks you have to man handle! Niiiice!!
Indeed. At this rate there'll be enough soon to station one on every lock. 😁 🤭
Great cruise and interesting contrasts. The whole section from Middlewich up Heartbreak hill , through Harecastle Tunnel is fantastic and so much less crowded than the Shroppie route north/south

Wonderful just wonderful
"I've no idea what time it is..." The perfect way to travel. Beautiful countryside. Thank you.
Cheers Dennis. Yes indeed. Never keep my phone with me now when travelling, or wear a watch. Quite liberating.
Your love for pork pies is legendary. Your love for a chicken vindaloo almost as much. Wouldn’t worry too much about the chimney, you aren’t the first and won’t be the last. One of the perils, I imagine.
Anymore cooking coming up? Always a treat.

Enjoy!!
Thank you Mary. Yes I'm pleasantly suprised by the general scenery and location of the T&M so far.
The only UA-cam channel i press thumbs up before i watch. It’s a lock ( no pun intended 🧐)
Delightful canal journey, although a bit noisy due to traffic.
You know you’re settling into the boating life when you define the time of day as “still light”. ☺️
Luvely to see you enjoying salf on the canal

Fabulous to hear that and cheers for watching.
Love the shot of the two yous working the lock. The neatest thing I've seen in a while.

Thank you Way and hope it's nothing too difficult that can't be overcome. 🙏
@@CountryHouseGent Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. You're very kind...I'm sure that today will be a better day.
There's a line I have ingrained from an old movie, can't remember the name but it's "Every day and in every way, I'm getting better and better."
@@CountryHouseGent I believe that the line is from one of the Pink Panther movies?? I seem to remember that Inspector Dreyfus interacting with Clouseau??? I loved those movies...
Oh yes now I remember. "Are you alright, former chief inspector?" (Just after he'd stood on a rake). ☺️ 😆
Nice stretch of canal….
Glad to see your back to your expert boating skills kev……..
Loving all the boat names. 👍
Another relaxing and enjoyable trip. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Whitty. Always like to hear you enjoy watching. Cheers,
I simply must compliment you on your scene composition and editing prowess. I have been following you since your first season, and you have constantly improved and refined your video storytelling skills. This latest tour is a very fine piece of work. Well done, Sir.
That's fabulous and rewarding to hear. I put a lot of thought and creativity into the videos. 🙂
As an American watching your channel I just love seeing you cook. The classic English dishes you do are amazing.
Enjoyed the ride Kevin, glad you had some help with the locks, (PRETTY NICE) loved it. C U Soon, Charlie from Pennsylvania
Very enjoyable. One to revisit here. Spring sprung in lovely areas. Thank you, CHG.

So enjoyed cruising with you today. Very peaceful and I thank you for it. Safe travels.
Great job going through those narrow locks. Great to see the springtime weather. Here in KY. It is almost warm.
Lots of rain and wind. I long for a warm sun on my back. Thanks.
Thanks Suzanne. Looking forward to that intense sunshine as well.

Morning Kevin , another excellent and funny episode!
Thanks for the mention and it was a pleasure to assist you through the locks - stay safe , we sadly are at the end of our holiday now .
Was grand indeed to travel a few locks with you and your family. You have them well trained. 😁
We cruised this some 12 years ago and must agree, it is a lovely canal to cruise, locks and tunnel included!
Another most enjoyable video. Thanks, Kevin!
Thanks Ray
Aslan strikes again, when I see your film pop up, i wait eagerly till bed to watch It, and yet again whilst listening to Aslan's engine I fall asleep several minutes from the end....

Happy to oblige Luke. Sweet dreams. 🙂

I appreciate that Steve. Have a fine Easter.
Hi, NBWill, thanks for your vids, always interesting, your reflections on life, your information on the cut and surrounding area. I probably should write more comments that I do. We are a couple of months from leaving Ohio to join all you narrowboaters for couple of years on the canals. Thank you again, look after yourself. Colin and Heather
Pretty indeed! And I had to rewind and check I WAS seeing double at one point! Crafty!
Ha, it's my twin brother who lives in the cupboard. 😁
Had me going there for a moment with the double exposure/ doppelgänger on the lock closing. Good one!
hey Kevin, been traveling but couldnt wait to see your video😊
What’s up
Nice video…. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful vid as always. You and Aslan seem in very fine form, chimneys and all. Have a Happy Easter. 🌷🌻🌹🐇💐🥚Much love from Florida Laura 🧡🍊🧡🤗🧡🌞🧡
Excellent!
Great video!

Nice ,casual ride along the canal. Glad the kids didn’t do any damage . Love the sequencial views of the lock. It felt like being there in real time. You certainly get a great workout with all that hard work ! ❤️
Hi Kevin thank you Another great video .....
Just what a canal vlog should be for me thank you.
Oh yeah ending shot was "pretty" enlightening. Lol Your video was so good just am greedy and wish it were longer. Loved seeing all the spring flowers and trees blooming. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels and Godspeed. Tx🇺🇲
I could make the videos longer but that would mean taking twice as long to produce and being uploaded half as often.
@@CountryHouseGent I was being thoughtless and greedy 🙃 sowwy. I love Friday's cuz I get to settle in for some down time with you and Aslan and your experiences on the canals. I don't recall but have you circled around the canals nesw? Safe travels 🙏
Always look forward to your next episode! Cheers from Kansas City!🍻🍻🙋♂️
Really interesting video. I like how you go into alot of details and explain really clearly. Thank you very much for producing the videos.
Great job as usual Kev! Really enjoying the return to cruising!
Thank you Anthony. It feels good to be back to travelling and filming. Cheers for watching. 🙂
Great video Kevin. Loved all the locks. I’m even taking a picture of one of them. Thanks again for sharing Englands wonderful Canal. Cheers 🍻
You're very welcome Ben. I imagine it'll make a nice wallpaper on a phone or computer.
@@CountryHouseGent there is one picture of the bridge and lock I haven’t seen. It’s no where to be found. And it can only be taken on a narrowboat. Just under a bridge going into a lock. It’s a sweet spot. Haha!
Sorry! I should have asked. Is that okay with you?
Sure Ben, no worries. Unless it's for commercial use, of course. 😁
@@CountryHouseGent heck no. I’m just a 60 year old man enjoy your videos. I’m afraid to put them on Facebook even. They are just between me and you. But I will show them to my friends and family. If I can get that picture I’m looking for, I’ll try and show it to you. If possible. 👍
Thanks for another lovely vlog Kevin you are doing a good job as usual take care now hope you get a restful Easter Ann n David🐣🐥🐣we are not boaters just oldies who luv watching you
Great Video Kevin, always a pleasure to watch and relax to, keep up the great work, Cheers!
Spring is in the Air 🌞
Sure is. Definitely warming up. In fact, I haven't had to light the fire for a week now. 🙂
First, let me say that I enjoyed eating my Saturday breakfast while I watched this vlog. It did my heart good that you got so much assistance at those locks! And I’m looking forward to the next episode to see if you find somewhere pretty to moor up. Thanks for catching those interesting names of other narrowboats along the canal! Bye-bye for now!

It's SO good to have you back

Awsome vidio,buddy.Be safe Enjoy 😇😎🐸
Hello Kevin mick from Hull really enjoyed this episode hope you are well and I will look forward to your next episode 😊😊😊
thank you for this fine n/b cruise . cheers
Herz und Seele .. the heart and soul..of England..
"i have no idea what time it is" - love it
Indeed, I often think I would love to buy a nice, slightly fancy wrist watch. But I'd never wear it cos I try to avoid 'time', so would be a waste of money. 😁
You’re obviously enjoying being out and I am jealous and wish we were on the cut, too. Dr.Syn is still in Garstang for a while until the skipper is fit again, so your excellent videos are a pleasure to watch. You were very polite about the kids…….!🤣

Now I know how to build my chimneys just in case I need to defend them against an invasion of screaming chipmunks from Normandy! Thanks for, Kevin! Enjoyed every minute of it!
2nd camera - I see you! Helps it a lot! Also split screen on the paddles. More trick stuff. Really like it.
no particular place to go, so we parked way out in the kokomo.....Chuck Berry. Another cracking little jaunt Kevin, keep it up!
Loved the double screen side by side shot, that was cool. Wish more boaters could get that creative with there vids... CCHHEERRSSSSS
Kev, I see your thousand yard stare is at ninja level. Respect it takes years of practice to achieve. When ever I try it people offer to help me cross the road.
On a serious note though, love the format and content of your vlogs. I eagerly look forward to the next instalment of travels, observations and not forgetting;…..wit! 👍🏻🙏🏻😎
Yep, black belt in the subject, Pete. Cheers for watching and following.
Brilliant videos
Another great vid, kev. Very pleased you chose this as opposed to the tarpaulins and tent peg option. Keep the faith, brother !
Thanks Ian though the camping videos were a little bit of fun. A pleasant change and was never intemded to be a new avenue of video making, just something different.

It had a 8 gal. water jacket for evap cooling. You could hear it from 5-6 miles away. KABOOM boom boom boom boom. The KABOOM was when it started on the up take of the sucker rod and the boom boom was the fall of the sucker rod. The fly wheel was huge.
Well spotted Gern. The engine was a one cylinder hit and miss Bolinder. One of the earliest diesel boat engines. The engine can even be reversed as no gearbox fitted with those engines.
WHAT A RELAXING CRUISE. AND YOU MY CAPTAIN WERE IN A PARTICULARLY BRIGHT PHILOSOPHICAL BENT.
Thank you Bill. I think the spring warmth was going to my head. 😎
Good One Kevin! Just hanging out with you while you go through your locks listening to Aslan’s engines and your occasional voice guidance. I know an older professional woman who married a guy with younger kids “ You need someone to wipe your arse when you get older” no doubt 😃🍀👍❤️
Glad she's back cruising
Hey hey. Hope all is well. I have just discovered that the canal we have here In The states, Eerie canal in Pennsylvania and New York offers canal boat rentals. The canal boats offered are exactly like the UK canal boats because they were built there. Pretty neat. I have just discovered these and I tend to go all the way to the north east soon to enjoy, thanks to you and your videos. Haha. Although it’s not the same views and exact experience at least it’s the true canal boat experience here in the states.
Sounds ideal Jesse. I'm assuming there's also places to moor up and have a relaxing evening? 🙂
Good Evening Kevin and All who read this, picking up the feeling behind "No Particular Place To Go" ......much contemplating.....I thought I were not greatly attached to my flat, but it does bring me a level of a sense of security in familiarity. Having no geographical stake does it bring a freedom,though in my mind it takes a special level of self strength and greater reliability in your Being and Soul, so emphazied by going alone in such a journey. How you fair and think your way though this you good CountryHouseGent? Many thanks.
I'm amazed at how he can keep his boat from grazing the walls in those narrow locks.
Glock where there was to Kevin’s open the gate was awful cute you’re getting real creative love it keep up the good work
I meant the lock not the Glock although one probably be convenient once in a while too
Ha no, I think Glock was right Dave. 🤭
Thanks Kevin, another relaxing Vlog !
Time for me to wake up from my Idyllic snooze-n-cruise !
Naah ! I'll just play the Vlog, one more time (only !) !
Honest !
Stay safe !

Kev is the best. Instead of cutting the film, he just left in the change of plans.
