Historic CHESTER by Canal | BOAT TOUR | Rock Star 🌟

The City of Chester is steeped in History and a wonderful place to cruise my Narrowboat and explore the Roman Walls and gorgeous black and white Victorian buildings. During my time moored in Chester I met up with a fellow boater with a wonderful past; Peter Gifford who was the bass player for the band Midnight Oil from 1980 to 1987 and recorded 4 albums and 2 EPs including the hit Beds are Burning. I just love fellow boaters and hearing their stories. Peter also gives me a guided tour of his wonderful Tug Narrowboat Emily - we all love a boat tour and this boat just blew me away with her quirky interior and bespoke fit out.
------------
Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.

Being Australian and loving Midnight Oil how lucky are you to have one of our iconic musicians on your boat so jealous.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Haha I had know idea when I first met him, he was just a lovely kind guy offering to lend a hand …. It wasn’t until we got chatting 🤣🤣

[@terryrankin5747]

Heidi you encountered an absolute legend of a man in Giffo . No one he wouldnt help , the most interesting mind of our times

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

I know … I ended up spending quite a lot of time with him, and our paths will cross often in the next few weeks - he is wonderful 🏴‍☠️😃

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

I was watching Heidi introduce him and my eyes were bugging out. He’s an Aussie legend in my eyes and heart. Truly a wonderful human.

[@88DIVINITY88]

@@TheNarrowboatPirate You met a true "Soul-Mate" for sure ☺💯 We cross paths with people who we are supposed to cross paths with, all "Divine timing" so trust the process 🙏😊

Great vid this week, Heidi! Chester is REALLY cool! And I love Midnight Oil! What a fun surprise guest! His Emily is simply charming❣️

I know, he is such a wonderful guy and his boat is just stunning 😃🏴‍☠️❤️

[@vickisaunders8790]

OMG Heidi, Peter Gifford is a rock legend in Australia. Midnight oil are one of Australia's best bands. Love the tour of his boat

[@jeffebdy]

I still have the single (tho no longer a record player!)

[@johnfife3062]

Giffo is a legend, and the Oils are epic in my book. I'd have been star-struck.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

He is such a lovely guy 🏴‍☠️❤️😆

[@ilox11]

Such a great time you are having and getting to meet Peter, how cool is that! The "Oils" were just so big down this way and their music is amazing. Their lead, Peter Garrett, became a Member of our Federal Government, and even was a Government Minister for a time. Not bad for a great Band. Love their music and seeing Peter Gifford again brought it all back for me. Magic!

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww brilliant 😃🏴‍☠️❤️

Thank you 😃🏴‍☠️❤️

[@aussierick2688]

G'day Heidi, great video as always. As an Australian, seeing Peter helping you out was great, especially considering he was in Midnight Oil, one of the biggest bands Australia has produced, I am jealous. All the best and see you at the next video. Cheers

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

He is a wonderful guy 😃🏴‍☠️❤️

[@aussierick2688]

@TheNarrowboatPirate Heidi, I honestly almost fell over in disbelief once I noticed his face. Us Aussie folk help anyone, anytime. Even if were part of a world renowned rock band. All the best to Bonnie and yourself, safe travels and can't wait to see you both in next video. Cheers Mate.

Everyweek my partner and I watch your vlogs and love to see your new encounters. My name is Bev LISTER and I was born in 1969! My partner takes great pleasure in mocking me when you say “fire up the old girl” 😂. I think the Rum Wench goes to prove the oldies are the besties , love to Bonnie xx

[@pamcullen537]

Hi Bev, I’m also a boater and my maiden name was Lister. My late husband had an air cooled 1946 Lister which sounded amazing but as he ran it on used cooking oil it smelled like a burger van 😂. My boat is much more fragrant! By the way, I was born in 1954 and still makes me smile to see park benches with Lister Dursley on them. All best wishes to you 🦆💕

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Hahahaa that’s brilliant 😂😂

Another wonderful episode!. Me and my husband are addicted to your channel and have binge watched all your vlogs from the beginning and we are now up to date. We can't wait until the next episode ! If you could say 'Ahoy' to 'Garry the gripper' on one of your episodes it would make his day!

Yay! Thank you!

Heidi, what a fantastic video. What a treat meeting up with Pete, Wow. As a child I grew up where you were moored and met the policeman. Queens Street. You were tied up (ooh er) by Cow Lane Bridge, the former name of Frodsham Street I believe. Thanks again for posting and glad your mum made the trip to see you. P.S. one of my favourite haunts is Telfords Wharehouse, MANY a happy time spent in there to this day. Cheers.

As usual Heidi a brilliant vlog , Midnight Oil !! I loved them back in my younger days !!!! used to visit Chester quite often when I wanted to be posh 😂 Couldn't be posh in Salford !!!🤣safe Travels x

[@elwilson9754]

Loved this vlog. I went on a horse-drawn narrow boat from Chester to Manchester in 1976. Our start was delayed as our boat needed to be fixed and that boatyard you went past had to finish a boat before they could fix ours. They relaunched the boat sideways into the canal. It ways a fabulous trip. I was on a trip to the homeland as they used to call in my youth, being from Australia. Thank you for your vlogs.

[@juliecavanagh6094]

Another great vlog, how exciting to see a band member of one of the great bands I grew up with. Was lovely hearing Peter’s Aussie accent. What a great layout on his narrow boat. Cheers from Sydney Australia.

We're new to your boating adventures Heidi, and me and my husband are currently working through all of your videos! Really enjoying them, made us want to get on the water ourselves!

Aww thank you 🏴‍☠️😃❤️ I may see you on the canals very soon then 🤣

[@johnmcgaw2753]

Love Chester! I was there early in October as a stopover train-hopping from Manchester Airport to Penzance to start a trip across the south coast. I find Chester entertaining every time I visit and there always seems to be something new to see. I walked the towpaths and saw many of the same sights although I didn't have the pleasure(?) of running the locks. I did, however, get a nice 4K video of a drone swoop up the staircase; now I just need to edit it into something useful.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww wonderful 😃🏴‍☠️❤️

[@SallyCurrell]

Chester looks lovely. What a beautiful place to visit. Thank you for the tour round. Great to see you and your mum having a lovely catch up around the town. Bonny looking as cute as ever.❤

[@JM-2574]

❤ I felt quite peaceful and tranquil watching some bits of Heidis' lovely vid (and still having giggles at other bits!). The music is fab as well. Also, when Heidi is showing us these places, walking around, I'm now writing a list of some of them, as places I want to visit ! Thank you Heidi 😁😁

Hi Heidi, most interested to see Peter from Midnight Oil. A very long time ago, I saw them in my local pub. They were absolutely brilliant!

Nice to see my old stomping ground, fantastic place. Wish I could narrow boat. Greetings from Thailand. Love your channel

[@fergusontea]

The sheer volume of history in places like Chester always amaze me! I live in Canada where, beyond a few hundred years of European occupation, the indigenous sites are not at all obvious and they didn't build any monuments or large structures. My own house was built in 1850, which is just a baby compared to the oldies in the UK.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Yes, England has such a wonderful rich history - I just hope they keep preserving it, like our wonderful canal network 😃🏴‍☠️❤️

[@TimLehman-i6z]

You have such a great humor of life. I love listening to your boats motor running. I could probably sleep for a week. Listening to it run.

It’s been a while last year I think possibly coming out of the black forest going into Manchester or Birmingham… Anyway, I love your mother. I’m glad you finally got that hole done and by an Aussy rock legend to boot… Giffo should do his own Vlog.

Love your journeys and hints of back ends and rear entrance...I get it all and makes the clips just that cherry on the top. Would love to experience a time on the canals as it looks like a perfect way to see the country and also do it all at a pace that is so what I like. Nice to see Peter and my eyebrows raised when mentioned that he was from Midnight Oil...have played that song while teaching myself to play guitar and grew up with Mid night oil a fair dinkum group.
