Travels by Narrowboat - "Escape To The Country" - S08E04
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2022
- Gooday everyone and join Aslan and myself, as we leave our overnight mooring at Marston on the Trent & Mersey Canal and continue southwards.
Travelling through the outskirts of Wincham and Northwich, we pass a busy canalside boat yard, as well as cruising directly through the imposing (and noisy) Tata Chemical and Salt Works.
Peace soon returns as later we stop at the area of Rudheath and Broken Cross. By now I'm running low on food supplies and take a short walk to the local Spar shop.
With the cupboard and fridge suitably restocked, we then continue onwards for about another 3 miles, to our next stop at the off-towpath mooring "Bramble Cuttings", of the Broken Cross Boating Club - a little, hidden gem, unreachable by anything except a boat.
Here we stay for the next 3 days, whilst I knuckle down to some intensive video editing.

We have lost “Cruising the cut” and “Foxes Afloat” in the last few months, so glad you are still with us. Regards AJ
We've not lost "Cruising the cut": in fact David says there will be more cruising videos now he is selling his boat.
Well Deck Diaries has stopped continuous cruising for a long while now. They are dealing with family health issues. 😞
@@GalaxyRangerNiko They have just done a vlog explaining their situation
Anyone know what happened to the two lovely ladies I think one was cath they use to sell art
@@Raggman42 "The Narrowboat Experience". Annamarie is still doing her online art. I heard a rumour that they had family health problems, but they did stop UA-cam suddenly, after saying there would be more vlogs.
Love seeing your travels. Relaxing, no dramatic editing to get views, just easy to watch. You’re a breath of fresh air.
What I like about Kevin's video is that he speaks then pauses let you enjoy what he just said speaks again then pauses for quite some time and that you just soak in what have just Sayed while watching the beauty. Plus he has a very comforting voice. Just wanted to point that out. I love to put it on in the weekend and just watch it episode after episode.
after 10 years UA-cam gongoozling, I got 3 nights on a narrow boat as part of my 50th birthday. Did exactly this stretch ! Freezing cold rain all day, got literally soaked to the skin. Loved every minute. Even stopped at the three bears off path mooring for a bacon sandwich . 3 yrs later, am still listening to r4
Kevin, nice episode, you used a good mix of the scenery, and appreciate the history of the area. Please in the future keep the camera on when you go for your walks in the towns and stores. I have never been in the UK, so your travelogue gives us Americans a taste of your great country. Keep up the good work!
Oh, man...that sound. The fade in at the top with Aslan chugging is so wonderful. Just a genius editing method. Keeps me coming back over and over and over again. Years now. Thank you, sir!
It really is the best sound!
Kevin! Loving this latest episode! I noticed that in this season, you’re bringing the camera with you on your land voyages to the shops. I love this! As an American everything looks different and is fascinating to me, from the cars to the squiggly lines on the road to the products in the shops, it’s fabulous! It really gives us the viewer a feeling like we’re riding along with the whole adventure! I cook all the time as does my wife, so I’ve always enjoyed your cooking videos and knowing what’s on the menu! 😄 keep up the good work! Happy narrow-boating!
I like the fact that you show the less than beautiful parts of your journey, including the factories, sketchy areas and the graffitti. It gives a more true picture of your daily lifestyle.....which is kind of what I thought this whole thing was all about in the first place. There's plenty of pretty sights as well, and those are welcome, but the rougher stuff completes the impression of what the life is really like! Thanks! Well done!
You’ve quickly become again my favourite part of the week, thank you Kevin for another peaceful trip. 🌷👍😊
The perfect way to unwind after a long day!
I’m 65 now
😂😂😂
I’ve not watched tv since 2010
Never listened to BBC shite. Don’t really listen to the radio and don’t buy news papers.
I get all the news I need off the weather report!
Good Video
The other boat left because of Aslan !!!!
Boom boom boom
Nice cruise….I loved that patio with the screened in shed right on the edge of the canal. I would spend a lot of time there! I stopped listening to the news, and fighting and lies, and biased news reporting and politics. We live in crazy days, and it was depressing me…and I am not one to be negative or depressed. That is how I found the UK canal narrow boats and enoy “visiting with friends.” It is so relaxing to watch and share your experiences.
I avoid all news now. Occasionally I'll slip up and take a peak, in case I'm missing something, but instantly regret it. It's all bad.
I agree on not watching the news. can't trust the news, large corporations or politicians.
thank you for allowing me the pleasure of cruising along. cheers.
Thanks again Kevin!!! I love your artistic and mechanical work!!!!!!!!
Cheers Tony, great to hear that.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed seeing the industrial side of the canals, especially the old abandoned stuff. I think we all dream of the cut going through open countryside with amazing views and clean fresh air, but when it rounds a curve and you're right bang in the middle of an industrial estate it reminds you that the canals themselves were very much exclusively industrial back in the day. Then two turns later you're back in the countryside!
Indeed Mick, it's easy too forget that without the industry, the canal network would never have existed. I enjoy every aspect of the canals, not just the pretty stuff.
Great job. Have been watching you for a long time. You do the best job and are a natural story teller. Thank you for sharing Great Britian with us.
It's fabulous to hear that Sheryl. Cheers for watching. 🙂
Most enjoyable outing, Kevin! Thank you! :)
Thanks for taking us along!
Good show! As usual... Great having you back at the tiller
Cheers Kevin, Enjoyed watching 💯👍,
I'm sooo happy that you and Aslan are back cruising the canals....nothing more soothing than watching your vlogs and listening to Aslan chugging along.....stay safe !
Not just one reference to a British comedy classic, but two in the same reference, Reginald Perrin and Dad's Army. Loving journeying with you Kevin.
Love the objects on that bridge…..
Yes it's a fabulous way to bring some character to what would be a very ordinary bridge.
Kevin, I've been a fan since you first started your journey. It has been great to see your progression. I really felt awful when you ran into your troubles on that New Years Eve. You have inspired me to start searching for a boat to take on the Great Loop. That is a 6,000 mile trip in the US, thru the Great lakes, down the Mississippi river system to the ocean at Florida and back up the intra coastal water way into the Great Lakes again. I live in the USA. In Michigan, between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. Around the year you were born I was operating boats for my uncle Sam in South East Asia. I did this for two years and skippered several boats. My favorite was a 45 ft tug. I really enjoy seeing the scenery along the canals in England. I have a "You Tube" channel and hope to post my travels also. God Bless my friend. Safe travels.
Nice to see a boater flying the Union Jack on that boat you let pass!
Sure is, and to think that not long ago, the forces that be were trying to make showing it a socially unacceptable act. 🤔
I think those people you mention are unacceptable. I will lobby for the UJ to be flown from every public building when I return to the UK in 2 months time. I will fly it from my house. After what I have lived through these past years, a few woke muppets, don't mean shite to me!
Chug chug chug chug oh I'm already feeling more relaxed
Great stuff! Excellent video!
👍👍👍👊😎
Thank you🙏🕊✝️🇨🇦
Who are you kidding😜, it's a fry-up with biscuits!
Fried ginger nuts? Now that's something I must try. 🙂
I'm with you, I no longer listen to radio 4! Thanks for great videos. They are real - unlike radio 4!
Brilliant as always
Excellent vlog again Kevin good camera stuff.
Hope your good
Keep safe warm dry and virus free.
I love.see you and Asian.on.the canals good luck with the sopping
Okay break time at work 😊👍
Thank you Kevin, love your camera work as always.
Thank you Derek.
You do have a good eye with the camera wherever you are, Kevin. And I second Jason L about the sound fade-in. It’s good to be reminded now and then of the industrial beginnings of the canals, and the men who struggled to make a living there. I’m glad for happier boaters today. A nice mooring spot to settle on your way to the adventurous places. Lifting a cup of tea with you from here.
Nice one Kevin. Enjoy your 2-3 day rest.
I actually don't mind the industrial parts of the canal. It's a nice change of pace . Plus I live a few miles from the Ohio and Erie canals here in Akron so it reminds me of home.
Do people cruise the Eire canal or is it just commercial traffic?
We stayed near Akron for a couple days hiking in Cuyahoga last Fall. Beautiful area. Sadly, didn't have time to see the canal and train. Currently editing a video I shot in 2020 of a lock on the Muskingum river during a press trip in the Cambridge area. Should have that up in a day or two.
@@WagonPilotAdventures Unfortunately the canals in Akron are no longer used for boats of any kind. The tow path trails are lovely for hiking but the locks have been dismantled and all I've ever seen on the water are ducks and blue heron.
All the best from Pennsylvania, USA!
Thanks for your latest installment, Kevin. I really look forward to each and every video. Most importantly, I appreciate knowing that I'm not the only shopper who finds it wise to make his or her selection from the bottom of the stack whilst navigating the frozen foods section. I mean, why mess with the half-thawed items on top that are attempting to escape their packaging? Only the wise shopper KNOWS where things stay FROZE.
I know... poor English, but, physics don't lie. Thank you, friend. Safe travels!
another great video, Kev. Cheers, mate
Always a treat to travel vicariously with you and Aslan. Feels like visiting with an old friend.
Getting older is no joke...I turned 52 this week. Some days I can't believe I'm that old, and others I feel 152...😊
Welcome to club Sonya. 🙂 I've since decided that I'm 36 from now on, and there ain't a thing anyone can do about it. 🤔 😁😳
@@CountryHouseGent I just say I'm 29 plus shipping and handling...😂😂😂
Now that's a new one. I shall remember that ... for something. 🤔🙂
@@CountryHouseGent once in a while I come up with a good one. 🙃
You can’t beat a couple of packets of ginger nuts… Top man. Have a great weekend 👌
Nice one Kev. Brilliant stuff staysafe dude 🙂✌️
That was a decent bit of food you got 😁✌
once more an engaging segment of your show -- there may be those who did not appreciate the departure from the normal picturesque countryside scenery during the run alongside the chemical plant, but, having spent many of my working years in just such grim and cheerless commercial settings, my practised eye found much to process...where I live, in texas, such facilities have a history of massive explosions that take out the factory along with considerable areas of the surrounding town, including schools and care homes -- do hope there's more effective regulation in Britain than here -- so proud of your decision to resume working the canals, Kevin, and am looking forward to the next installment...
Sausage, spuds and beans ...a traditional staple 👍
I've never heard of a Spa shop. I do enjoy your shopping expeditions and am fascinated by the different British products. I believe the package of bacon said, "back bacon" and again it is not like any bacon I've seen. I am so very thankful you are continuing your narrowboat adventures. Most enjoyable vlog! Thank you. Sincerely, Becky W.
Hi Richard. Spar is a nationwide franchise of shops and supermarkets, often found in smaller more isolated places without a supermarket nearby, and in fuel filling stations like this one. The two main types of bacon in the UK are back and streaky, which is thinly sliced pork belly.
@@CountryHouseGent Thank you so much for the information. I was quite impressed by the shop. It is so very beautifully British to see "fuel filling stations" instead of my southern name "gas stations." Now I must see if I can find back bacon here. I am so fond of British foods. McVitie Digestive Biscuits are a favorite of mine (thank goodness for Amazon), but have not tried their ginger biscuits (snap or cookies), yet. Your vlogs are superb!
...thanks for some silly graffiti for a good laugh : ) Beautiful ride !!
That looks like a nice peaceful place to stop for a few days. I envy you. I wish the US had such canals. Another great video Kevin. Thanks a bunch.
how cool it would be to witness the day they fill that marina.
I volunteer to be the one who smashes the dam holding the water back. 😁
Nice video…. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely.
Very relaxing, keep up the vlogs.
Found yourself a nice little mooring spot to hunker down for a bit. Nice vid!
Praise baby Jeebus!!! Seemingly CHG has very nearly managed to navigate back 'roun to the wholly blissful comfort of his tried-true "cruise n cook" format!!! The universal *id* implores ✨The Great Infinite✨to see fit to reinstate cosmic order in empowering that entity - commonly acknowledged as, "Country House Gent" - to embrace his cosmic "cruise n cook" Ley Line!!! ✨⚓️✨✊🖖
Yeah... what u said!
Lovely enjoyable cruise that one. Plenty to look at along the way. Bacon and mushroom sandwiches sound devine. Enjoy!
Thanks Nathan. Oh yes and with a dollop of Brown Sauce, simply unparalleled. 😁
Great video... thank you .. cheers
Thoroughly enjoyed that
Kevin. The scenery wasn’t all that beautiful to start, but there was a very interesting bridge. Back into the countryside it was lovely seeing your shots of trees against the sky. And of course seeing the ducks, swans and a squirrel even! You certainly picked yourself a lovely spot to moor up. Look forward to your next video. Cheers.
Indeed Connie, the landscape of the canals is a varied and ever changing one. It's all good. 🙂
Wonderful.
Loved it Kevin, Charlie from Pennsylvania
Always a pleasure to know you're watching, Charles. Thank you,
Evening "sunshine on cloudy days" thank you for the video Kevin. Thank you for the "ESCAPE" that is you and Aslan meandering along the canal. Our Friday night treat which starts the weekend off perfectly. Like devouring your favourite meal, listening to your favourite music or the sipping at the first cup of tea of the day...... something you look forward to and simply enjoy to the last - PERFICK!! Thanks again Kevin. Keep smiling, keep safe and keep travelling. Flossy & Jan x
Great job as usual Kev!
Cheers for watching, Anthony.
Grand vlog shades, cheers
Love your videos
As a Brit living in the US, it’s great to see the supermarket, how ever so small, stocking our wonderful great British food! I could almost taste those delicious sausages and the back bacon! 😋👍🥰
Love your journeys Kevin, great job!
That sound of Aslan is so reassuring.
Country house gent, my favourite viewing on UA-cam!
And yes! Hit 50 and started listening to radio 4 😂😂 yup 👍🏻 now 51 and listen to radio 4 from 10pm till 6am tramping down the M6 (past Garstang!). Amazing what you’ll do to stay sane in the wee hours, when the solitude turns to cabin fever 🤪
Keep on keeping on Kevin pal! Love your work mate 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Hello! Nice to see you again!
Thanks Katherine.
More cooking! Love to watch you cook.
During travels.
I'm so glad you are back to cruising around on the canals!
There's a big Co-Op in Rudheath, about half a mile down the road from the Broken Cross 😉
Good one Kevin
You had me at "bacon sandwiches."
Excellent Reggie Perrin reference my friend. Another classic ep and a chap after my own heart (and sadly age). God speed Kevin and Aslan and thank you for your stories and journeys !
Love it, beautiful country side even with the industry around 👍your weather is a lot like mine ,here we say if you don’t like the weather in Kentucky wait 5 minutes because it will change never fails😝Thankyou for the few minutes of relaxation your travels bring to my day 😌stay safe and eagerly awaiting your next videos
Great to hear you enjoy the videos Lisa. Yes that's very true here as well. Not many places you can experience all 4 seasons within the same hour. Just the other day the sun was out, bit of cloud but warm. Next minute it got dark and chilly, followed by some hail, then strong winds. Suddenly it was sunny again. 😊
So really all I need now is a canal and narrow boat I could be living the life🤣😂looking forward to your trip😛
That’s a very good shopping trip, especially the Ginger Nuts 🌰👍
Excellent video. I have watched it twice already 🙂 I was only a recent subscriber to cruising the cut and now he is selling his boat 🤔😁 he is thinking about his future when he gets old but I don't see anything wrong with cruising around on a boat when your an old man.i thought it would be more relaxing than living in a house.
Agreed. Especially consider the way things are currently, buying bricks and mortars seems an uncertain decision in terms of future security.
It's okay that you are showing us industrial areas. After all the original purpose of narrowboats was commercial shipping of goods.
Great to hear you are cruising onto unknown waters, look forward to viewing the scarecastle. If you are coming down past fradley Junction into Burton on Trent a really go place for diesel and gas is Shobnall Marina but make sure it's not a Monday as all the decent pubs are shut. Stay safe, NB Blue Adeline
Good video
I randomly stumbled up on this channel and i love it its relaxing interesting content youre making.
Many thanks Finn. Good to have you along for the journey. Cheers, 🙂
Binge watching from Alaska. Wish I had started back when I had the Rona. Could have been up-to-date!
Cheers from the Greatland!!!
Thank you and welcome aboard. Cheers,
Ya' had me worried there for a second with the opening scene of the Police....a good April Fools on this April 1st. Hope the weather gets better as planned for you. -Cheers from Seattle!
I completely agree about the vegan food imitating meat. Weird. Plus I don’t eat any processed foods.
Have fun on your vacation. Am looking forward to Season 10!
Half way thru when you pulled up outside that Pub I thought right he's going to have 6 pints of Guinness this should be a laugh but then you went to a garage.
It was Reginald perrins boss CJ that used to say things like - I didn't get where I am today by looking a gift hores in the bush. 🤣
Call me a stickler for tradition but I didn't get where I am today by drinking Guiness in the daytime. 😉
Another great video by the Narrow Boat master. Thank you Kevin. Be safe.
Great Vlog Kevin. Thank you. As you can probably tell I'm a big fan of everything Canals and Narrowboating and hearing that gorgeous sound emanating from Aslan just gives me joy. "I tingle"
Enjoy your videos so much.
Hi Kevin Rod from Garstang
All the Best keep going👍
And to you Rod. Cheers, (P. S. I'm missing Booths and Hamlets sausage rolls). 🙂
Oh Kevin you were so close to a large Tesco 😔 they are so un friendly at that Petrol Station/ Shop !!! Thankyou for the vlog ! You will soon be in the countryside again, Northwich area not so inspiring 🤫
Looking at the food It reminds me that as a Brit living in Austria the only real changes since the dreaded B word has taken place are my residency status which thankfully now is permenant for me thank goodness and a few food items.
I have lived out of the UK so long now it is rare I miss much but since the B word I have noticed that Heinz baked beans and Pataks are no longer availible in the supermarkets here ( There is a British Shop in Vienna but I refuse to pay €4 for a can of beans!) Thankfully they do a brand called Wild Bill now which are pretty much identical to Heinze and only €1 a pop!
Occasionally I do miss a bag of chip shop chips ( both in Canada where I used to live and here) I have yet to find a decent bag of chips anywhere outside of the UK!
Oh and a pint of good ale but thats not a problem as I drink very little these days anyway and when I do the beer is fantastic as is the wine produced litterally outside my window!
I am glad to see that there is still some large industry going on there. Are there any British car makes left now that are not owned by overseas companies.
Jeez Kev when I spotted those coppers , I thought you had been handed a speeding ticket . 🧐
I have thoroughly enjoyed today’s ride, cruise, I mean. Plus the little bit of shopping. See you next time!
You are a proper chap Kevin! I trust you have more food strored!!!
Thank you for the video. Nice to see the industrial side of the canals. Love to listen to your motor. Nothing like the chug chug of those. Take care - Be safe.
"Language Timothy", lol. Thanks Kevin that was a great spring time cruise. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thanks Kevin, keep up this great work, enjoyable indeed!🇺🇸🇬🇧
love seeing English countryside, and points of view we don't normally see as touristas. You could prob publish book on canal sights and village views!
You're very welcome William and thank you for watching. 🙂
You need to lay in some non perishables for the lean times between shops. Canned goods, etc.
Brilliant! I haven't heard anyone impersonate CJ off Reggie Perrin since the 90's!
