My Great Grandfather and GG Grandfather worked on the canal barges on the Leeds Liverpool carrying chemicals. It was a hard life by all accounts.

[@buckchoppers2480]

The tv series is enchanting but I wish the episodes were longer. Looking forward to watching all these videos. Happy sailing, Robbie.

[@jillosler9353]

Wow! That sky at the end of the day looks amazing! Always good to meet up with friends.

[@wilfamos7314]

Brilliant update on your travels, thanks for posting. Awesome sky with drone footage! :-) Stay safe Robbie.

[@MissyCaroline1]

Lovely, good to see you again, hope you're feeling upbeat. Love the sound of your boat chugging along one of our treasures in the sunshine and beautiful countryside. Keep well and get on Facebook!!! x

[@rakshithv6199]

I've been to the UK as a student for a year. I always fascinate about travelling on boats in the UK canals. I used to live near Coventry Canal. Unfortunately I haven't got any chance to make a boat trip. Hope I'll come back to the UK and experience those too in future

[@rakshithv6199]

@HMS king George V Yes it is. By god's grace. I came back to the UK again as a student again. ❤️ I love a lot

Hi Robbie. Great that you met up with some mates and got to a pub. Fantastic sunset shots. Take care. Nick

Well it really looks like you're living and loving the finer times in life old Robbo 😍 What a lush little surprise this video! Some grand bedtime viewing! Wherever you are, I hope you are safe, well and happy 👍

[@rebeccahfrench7315]

Wow Robbie those scenes are filmed beautifully as you start off at the beginning of the vlog, such clarity in the video. Really makes me miss Blighty, our green and pleasant land. So good to see you cruising again

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you Rebeccah 🤓👍

Good to see you Robbie. Very interesting Vlog as always, went over far too quickly (and short), not that I am complaining. What happened at the end, it just finished, like there was more footage to come, no analysing the beer etc. And no goodbye either. Still a very enjoyable watch. Take care.

[@RobbieCumming]

Yeah sorry about that - had been editing this one for over two weeks and just needed to get it out there. Conversely the next vlog is packed full of stuff albeit no Pub of the Week 😱

[@eggchen8614]

Watched your canal boat diaries series and now halfway through your KZbin vlogs. Excellent work so please keep it up. And excellent music, so I bought your album on iTunes 👍 Thanks for the continued laughs you give me - keep on cranking 🛥

Loving the drone footage👍🏻🍺

[@laknox88]

Always nice to run into friends on your travels. I noticed that the pub had Sierra Nevada Pale Ale available. It's a decent brew, though I'm much more inclined to a Stone Arrogant Bastard because, well, I =am= worthy! (Look it up, if you haven't already!) :-) If you get over here to AZ in the February time frame, we have a statewide "Beer Week" that features hundreds of local and national craft brewers. It's called the Arizona Strong Beer Festival and is held in Phoenix. 2021 was cancelled and no word on '22, but we're hoping! And they =do= mean strong beers! In '20, I sampled several that were 10+%. Thank God for drivers! :-)

Hello from the Todmorden lad in Canada. Brilliant pictures. Thanks Robbie.

[@audaciousstuff]

Can't believe you cruised past our house (6.01) while we were away on our boat! Btw these are the houses almost all flooded in January (see Waterways World April). Hope you got back through Saltersford before it broke (again). Keep up the good work, we love your style 😀. Free coffee, WiFi, power, water here any time!

I saw that article! Madness! Promised my local mates I wouldn’t mention the floods (I mentioned once but I think I got away with it etc etc😂)

[@josephmannion1976]

Slaty dog is a cracking pub

[@lefroy1]

The 'Maggie' (1954) is a suberbly fun, wry look at life and adventure aboard a working vessel. She's a coal powered 'coastal puffer' rather than a canal boat, but the film caputres all that romance and ''top jobness' you alude to.

[@jacquelineband3048]

Just hit subscribe! Love the videos Robbie and after experiencing being a liveaboard for a while more than a decade ago as a renter on the Kennet and Avon, I'm looking at making my narrow boat dream come true in the next year or two on the Leeds, Liverpool, hopefully as an owner. 😁🤘 Long live the canals and Ozzy Osbourne!!

[@RobbieCumming]

Ahh sweet thanks Jacqueline!!

[@tykeinbrum]

Not sure about the 'top job' for the 'lucky few' - I reckon it was a bloody tough way to scrape a living! I recently read, and heartily recommend, 'Hold On a Minute' by Tim Wilkinson. Published back in 1965, it's the story of a socialite couple who give working on the cut a good go but have to give it up within a year due to injuries sustained on the job. Anther cracking vlog, Robbie. #carryoncranking!

[@stephenbirchall941]

It's Jay and Debbie. Jay painted my boat roof while they overwintered at Droylesden Marina!

[@trevorford8332]

Damn you, Robbie. I don't drink but sure are making me thirsty. Bottoms up. Cheers. 🍺 😊 Non-alcoholic beer of course, other drinks are available.

[@stephengardiner9867]

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale??? Good, very hoppy, "west coast" ... (as in west coast of the USA) style of pale ale... a long way from home! Probably as easy to get "over there" as Fullers is over here!

[@davidthomas6859]

Hi Robbie ,just been watching CBD series 2 you mentioned Tom Rolt. I don’t know if you know he helped save the Tallyllyn railway in the 1950’s.He has a locomotive 🚂 named after him in Tywyn Gwynedd.

Excellent yes one year prior to that I went on that very locomotive with my girlfriend and her daughter 👍

[@melbeadle9852]

Great vid as always. Brill to see you practicing with the drone, looking forward to seeing what these new angles will bring us! (Also, I wonder if the long grass is deliberate as part of ‘no-mow-May’? Some folk find it untidy, I’ve rather enjoyed seeing it all 🙂). Take care.

[@RobbieCumming]

Funny I thought so too (re grass) as CRT have recently said they don’t want to cut it as much but the next morning there were a team of guys down to strim it all back

[@melbeadle9852]

Oh that’s a shame! I think maybe they are under pressure to cut it back. The same happened at our local playing field; the ranger was excitedly telling us his plans to leave a whole section long and mow pathways through it. It was amazing, so pretty, lots of flowers emerged - and fun for the kids, but was not there for long before it was all mowed again. Anyway, thanks again for the fab vlog 🙂

[@tim040]

In normal times, it’s music night there on Thursday night, proper bands.
