Such a shame to see abandoned boats..great travel vlog..thanks for taking us along ❤

[@darkmatterxi]

Glad you are loving our adventures Penny xx❤

[@howardeastman-uk]

Brilliant. When and if we swap our widebeam for a Narrowboat the Nene and that area is where I really want to cruise. Great vlog. Thank you.

[@darkmatterxi]

The river Nene is stunning and we have loved it.

[@iandavenport8423]

There is a mobile sandwich van turns up for the offices by the lock

[@darkmatterxi]

Good to know thanks 😊

Lovely cruise. That was lucky meeting other boats as you were coming out of the locks. It's like everything else going up in price. James from The Narrowboat That James Built did a vlog on the price increases earlier in the year.

[@darkmatterxi]

We have never paid this much for a pump out. Couldn't believe it, the dearest we have paid is £27 in the Aquaduct marina on the Middlewich branch. We thought that was expensive. Its a bit annoying as when you get to Peterborough there is a free pump out and we use that later on 😊

[@iandavenport8423]

I understand that the Anglian pass is for the Middle Levels and the Cam - you can get a short term pass for the Levels but it won't save you much and it means you can't spend any time on the Levels - beware low bridges and Olive will have difficulty turning in lots of places

[@darkmatterxi]

We know about the 3 day pass for middle levels but it £80 so for £30 more you can get a year long one. Thanks for the heads up though 😊

[@iandavenport8423]

The Anglian pass was less for me at 39 foot but do consider the Friends of the Nene and same for the Great Ouse

[@darkmatterxi]

We are with the friends of the Nene and Doba moorings on the Ouse 😊. The anglian pass was more expensive for us because it depends on the length of your boat like the crt license. We had to upgrade to a gold licence.

Hi not far behind you guys got through 16 locks from 12 pm wow isn't it Narrow after lock 14 also weeds but only had to go in reverse to clear them Wow what a price I am only going on the Nene for a week 😊 ££ Dianne

[@darkmatterxi]

If you get to Peterborough there is a free pump out there it's great. The first one you get to the second one is broken. We use it before we go onto the middle levels.

[@keithknightson4410]

Did you get some new flags. I thought you lost your Devon flag, and I noticed a Union Jack flag on the front of your boat 🚢

[@darkmatterxi]

We have new Devon flags and the union jack one was for the coronation and won't last long as plastic.

[@chow24]

Great video thanks guys

[@darkmatterxi]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@janeosullivan7027]

[@darkmatterxi]
