Another reason I like these vlogs albeit a petty one is they are never those patronising annoying click bait titles like “my narrow boat had a problem GUESS WHAT HAPPENED” etc etc. I detest those types of title. I think you tube must promote that sort of things as a way to get views as it’s so common but I can’t stand it and make a point of never watching a video with such a title.

Hi David, thanks for this most enjoyable vlog, it's (almost) all very peaceful and quiet.The only thing (probably only due to being a retired bargee) was at the very start when you said when you were leaving that there were going to be a few locks further down, but in reality it was a few locks further up, but nothing important or that needs worrying about.

Silt, silt and more silt! Found myself in similar circumstances, yet again, the other day on a busy and well used stretch of the GU but in a quiet spot (like you...preferred). Is this how CRT are going to get rid of responsible CC,ers? Leave us unable to get within three feet of the bank to expire midstream for lack of sustenance, or have they forgotten what a dredger actually does! Your vlog remains a 'go to' piece of gentle evening entertainment. Many thanks.

While that is undoubtedly true I fear for the little used parts of the system. Is there an increasing danger of us losing what was so hard fought for by Rolt et al? CRT are so far behind status holding I wonder. We shall see. Take care and enjoy.
