Nice to see you again JL. Thank you for sharing your recommendations. I forgotten about the series featured at number 1. Have to agree that Robbie Cumming is top of the,it’s for content, presentation style and showing what it’s actually like to live aboard. Happy new year, Simon.

That’s a great selection Johny. I had only heard of a few of these so there’s plenty of watching ahead for me. Not a factual canal programme as such, but a very amusing and absorbing drama is The Flower of Gloster, which was a children’s series from the 1960’s. It is only semi scripted and there are many scenes with real canal workers talking about their way of life. The Anderton lift is shown working with the motors and pulleys. It’s on KZbin.

Question: (you have solar) so, is it possible to store that extra energy in summer for winter use ? I suppose in "theory" it may work but not certain. Thank you for your educational video about such an important subject.
@ProjectNarrowboat Ай бұрын
You would need an extremely large bank of batteries, about one (100ah lithium) for every days use. So if you had around 180 batteries, probably. They could be housed down under the floor space if the boat was designed for them, but they are too expensive to make it practical.

Nice to see you back on the canal. I’m surprised you didn’t show us David Bowie’s statue to commemorate his first gig in Aylesbury. John Otway also came from there. I had a day out walking down the canal and left my phone on a bench at the basin. I thought I’d never see it again, but a guy from the University handed it in to a woman working at the cafe. My friend put a message on Facebook and the woman saw it, so I got it back. There are are some good hearted, honest people in Aylesbury.
@ProjectNarrowboat 2 ай бұрын
Oh - well the reason I didn't show David Bowie's statue was that I just didn't know about it! I didn't do any research before hand - not that I ever really do - it was a spur of the moment one this.

Great idea that would be quite easy to replicate. I was trying to guess the diameter of the rebar and thinking you have 12 or 16mm there? Now subscribed.
@ProjectNarrowboat 3 ай бұрын
Oh that's a point - I don't have them now so I'm not 100% sure. Certainly either 12 or 16mm. The thing with them was that because they were relatively thin, they pierced the ground well (even going through hard obstructions on occasions) and of course they were so strong that they never bent. The pattern on them kind of allowed you to twist them in but also gripped the ground. And when removing you could grip them really well. Way better than anything else I ever used.
