Thank U! You are one of VERY few "old" cutters still vlogging along the network. Keep on crancking (?) I love it!

[@user-nd1ck7eb2v]

Nice one Robbie

[@joerg-michajahn4963]

Hear, hear! Several have quit indeed this year (or during the pandemic), so I agree - good to see that Robbie keeps on cranking!

[@alisonwalsh8816]

As an ex live aboard I enjoy watching your videos. They show cruising as it is. I enjoy your TV programme too.

[@barryoconnor4670]

Keep 'em coming Rob. Love watching these vids as well as 'Holly The Cafe Boat with Joe, Vic and baby William'. So relaxing to watch and listen to your journeys through the canal system.

[@ethyhayes]

Thanks for another vlog Robbie - I just want to say the camera work and editing effort you put into these is very much appreciated, thanks for the content 💛 you are very much appreciated.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Brilliant as usual, fabulous music, great content and a cracking pub 😃🍺❤️

[@RobbieCumming]

Thanks Heidi 🙌

[@soupyruns9709]

Can’t beat a good Robbie Cumming Vlog 👍🏻

[@yuenthem7662]

You vlogs could never be described as "just another canal vlog really", each one is awe-inspiring and peacefully beautiful. They are compulsive viewing and I can't wait to see whats going to turn up around each and ever corner! You just "keep crankin' it". And keep that wonderful music coming too. Your vlogs are simply a perfect way to chill in this far too busy day and age. Thank you for all your hard work. It is appreciated and LOVED. ❤️😉👍👏

[@RobbieCumming]

Ah thank you very much!

[@kathrynschauf1784]

Robbie: once again the opening frame you used is lovely and inspiring. You might just be getting to be a proper cameraman! Good to hear from you again.

[@Robaylesbury]

I live very near the Grand Union in Aylesbury. I’ve walked from home to the Paddington basin in London ( 3 days) and from Marsworth to Blisworth (2 days) on hiking adventures. Love chatting to boaters and there’s a real lifestyle thing about the canal network. The calm, the open countryside stretching for mile upon mile, and the transition into a major conurbation. My wife and I love Canal Boat Diaries, and to happen across your channel is a bonus. Great stuff Robbie!!

[@lynnecrook9345]

Came to the channel via the TV series. My campervan dream might be getting replaced by a canal boat dream. Not sure if that should be encouraged!

[@waynescanlon6715]

Yes something brilliant to watch👍

[@MegaSuperpotter]

Gon an dun it again Robie, took me into your world and shared a great journey, thanks again from Jim Splinge.....

[@alchapman1052]

A real tonic for a manic Monday, a vlog by the man himself ,always great viewing 👍

[@danstaple675]

Had a bit of a crappy week at work and just noticed you posted a new vlog. Always cheers me up to watch your adventures Robbie. Takes me away from the daily grind and chills me right out. I like your ratty old cap, I have one just like it!

[@MissyCaroline1]

Lovely video, especially because they're places I'll probably never get to

[@Stewharp]

Hi - just wanted to say how much we enjoy your vlogs. This episode was great. Some nice filming and always nice to see where you are and what you find in that town. Stewart & Anna x

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you so much 👍

[@pamelasmith9784]

I just love your vlogs Robbie I watch a lot cos I would love to have a narrow boat life but missed the boat to old now your the best 👍👍💕💕

[@allanf8578]

Never commented before, but have been watching for ages. Brilliant stuff Robbie! I am now sub-2 years till I stop pumping this grind stone round and round - done half a dozen narrowboat holidays and there is no doubt what I will be doing when I get there. Cheers for getting me through these next 2 -years

[@RobbieCumming]

Nice to hear Allan cheers

[@Pop_cool_ninja89]

Been watching you videos for years now....did a fair few holidays on the network. Then the draw became too much and I got my own. Me and my daughter have just brought our first boat up from whilton marina to Leeds liverpool canal. Passing all the places we watched on your channel on the way. Its unfortunate the fuel went through the roof during the process....but I get the mental health side you have mentioned. My work world fell apart during the return voyage....but who cares when your on the back of your boat....it can wait another day. Silence of mind can't be divided and that what you get on your boat....maybe not yours with that engine🤣🤣🤣. With so many channels packing in....don't leave us....keep up the good videos👍🙏 Take this as a compliment....my friends and family have called me Stuart cummings🙈🤷‍♂️ We are cranking it!!

[@pauljones5066]

you are one cool guy Robbie!

[@dawndietz4654]

Loving you as always! Keep cranking❤️👍🏻

[@phillipbateman2284]

Thanks Robbie, always really different , but normal. For you. Take care.

[@fatbloke1953]

Just rewatching this one. You mention all the plastic bags hanging on the trees. Better on the trees than round your prop!!!😜👌I am a Yorkie originally but moved to Dorset in 1979 and currently live in Weymouth👍 We have a canal holiday most years and our next one is May 4th and we are hoping the Brinklow landslide will be cleared by then, 'cos we pick the boat up at Clifton Wharf and want to do the Ashby for the 1st time🤞

[@markchatt2813]

Keep on cranking! Thanks for another class video! Hi, from Cambodia!

[@ianmaude6604]

Can’t believe I missed you passing through Mirfield, it would have made my day

[@mightyhorsey]

Love the 'turbo cruising' section.....

[@Debba521]

Really enjoyed this one, especially at the end with Pub of the Week. Glad you motored on to find a more lively pub, with music! 🎶

[@layalabi1667]

Another nice one!!

[@Chipchipsaway]

Yes we have a 60 ft ...came through those locks last year. We'd watched a few vloggers to get an idea what to expect and asked other boaters on the FB groups so had lots of good advice. Took bow and stern fenders off and sealed up the back doors of the trad stern with plastic bags and lots of tape....plus bilge pump running so no water in back of boat. Daunting experience though....not in a rush to repeat it 🤪😂

[@49BRITTANIA]

Hello from Az Robbie and 112 degrees for a high today. What keeps me coming back to your vlogs and a few other like minded vloggers, is the fact that you don't make the CRT the scapegoat for everything that doesn't go right in their everyday travels. I imagine the system has always been a challenge to maintain and always will be, however after being able to experience its challenges through vloggers like yourself, i look forward to returning home to become a part of narrowboat life whilst im still able. Keep sharing your fascinating adventures please? Thanks.

[@andrewbarnard667]

Hi Robbie. Somewhere near Halifax there is a canal that was closed yesterday can't see it on crt yet. Check where you are going. It's going to be a long job. (Captain Grandad)

[@jacquelineryde7339]

Always great to have a Vlog from you Robbie, so nice to meet you at Crick x

[@RobbieCumming]

You too Jacqueline!

Cheers from Canada's west coast. Great video. Safe travels.

[@BoatTime]

Great vlog! The editing is superb as always 😊

[@RobbieCumming]

Aw thanks

[@Rose-Willow]

Favourite bits.... That footbridge was gorgeous, and hearing you singing in the pub lol! (and you said you couldn't sing) I have the opposite problem with my ears. Dry itchy and irritated. Think I need more earwax, mmm yum lol! 🤣

[@chrisgraver2112]

I can send you some? Its a bit wet coming out the ears but it will dry then just poke it in :D

[@Rose-Willow]

[@kitwest61]

Classic cranking RC. Most excellent music, as always. Always keep an eye out for Naughty Lass. It's been a while now since I passed by.

[@stellaonnarrowboatnogginth9108]

Hi Robbie. Enjoyed the v!og, love the new font style, filming looks great. Couldn't get over thinking you seemed a little down, can't put my finger on it. Hope you're doing ok.

[@RobbieCumming]

I try to hide it but I get bouts of low self esteem/anxiety which takes it’s toll but I’m fine really just cranking on and trying to enjoy life

[@seanduncan8927]

You cheer others up so all good

[@flatusinteruptus]

I started hearing "fake plastic trees" by Radiohead in my head as soon as you mentioned the bags hanging from the trees

[@madcapjourneys9014]

Love the vlog keep up the good work

[@carycoombe3380]

I liked how you showed how much the boat moved while moored at 2:15, and the drone shot near the end.

[@wendyflanagan5738]

A good choice for the Pub of the Week.

[@geoffcampbell7846]

Hi Robbie, what a great treat to catch up with you and your travels. Like pouring a glass of your favourite tipple and sitting back to luxuriant in the pleasure of your company. In fact, that's exactly what I did. Great vlog again, always something to see. Keep chugging along matey. Till next time, 👋

[@russellsprout2223]

Still the best boat vlogger by a nautical mile. I do flinch though, when you leap from boat to lock ladder - yikes! Keep up the great work and take care. Atb, fella 👍

[@clairereid6974]

Pull the tapes at the top of your gorgeous new curtains Robbie, it’s drivin me crazyyy! 🤣🤣 Fab vlog, great footage! ❤️🐚

[@RobbieCumming]

Can you help me please it’s also driving me mad too!!

[@Salaryman1998]

Another awesome vlog Thanks Robbie

[@stevecooney1361]

Loved it, great to see you again Robbie.

[@fp30e]

Hi Robbie, another great Vlog. Sorry about your truck breaking down. Great cruise, and loving Mirfield. Great Pub of the Week also. Really enjoyed this Vlog. Thank you. Take Care.

[@philiphollowday6741]

Wonderful video as always, great seeing West Yorkshire again. Look forward to keeping up with you as you head east. Shame you missed that bit from Salterhebble Lock to Sowerby Bridge. Years ago we rescued the charity boat from there after they flooded the engin room by mistake and towed them back to base at Sowerby Bridge. Watching your video's brings back happy memories; and well done, at how adept you are at jumping from gunnels to lock ladder; couldn't manage that these days, Best Regards, PMh

[@MrOVERANOUT]

Oh I wish I had known you were passing through my home town of Mirfield, twice. You chose a good spot to Moor up. I often park there and walk the canals and river in both directions. Those two steel bridge supports in the middle of the river are known locally as Titanic's Funnels. The originally supported a cross over bridge for horses pulling barges and also railwaymen getting to the engine sheds that used to be there. Hence the name of the Railway pub. The Flowerpot has some excellent Real Ales by Ossett Brewery and is ok in the Navigation Tavern. That old iron footbridge is quite rare. I think there are only two others on the rail network. Alas, there are plans to remove it when the line is electrified because the cables would be too close. I hope they rebuild it on some heritage line somewhere. I often walk across it. Thanks for showcasing Mirfield known as Flower Town because we win the Britain in Bloom contest regularly. Love the place you live. I always enjoy your vlogs. I hope you got your truck fixed.

[@patriciagassor4497]

Been teasing me waiting for this vlog, we did the Calder & Hebble several years ago but just as far as South Pennine boat club as they were holding a club Rally, great boat club, made us very welcome, was nice to see a further stretch that we did not have time to do. We travelled from River Soar. Great to find lock paddles all working, lovely video thank you.

[@martinkaye1801]

Cheers mate. That brought back some nice memories. Moved to Mirfield from Kent when I was 4 Yrs old. Spent the next 20+ yrs there. Recognised everywhere on the vlog. You got to meet a Mirfield legend in the laundrette. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to the next vlog😊

[@franktuckwell196]

Great to see you out and about again, good vlog.

[@gemmab940]

From ear canals to boating canals, what's next, birth canals? Hope not 😂 Lovely camera work and the bit where you zoomed up from the river up to the map at the start was great. Interesting to see the footbridge too, they don't make things as beautifully as they used to. Already looking forward to the next one, thanks.

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you ha ha yes that might be a bit too much for some of my viewers 😂

[@dianelefarge5898]

Great intro to this one and then totally absorbing lock-life. Another winning vlog from a busy man . Cheers . Always a treat to watch…

[@RobbieCumming]

Thanks Diane

[@Kat69nh]

Hi Robbie. Nice to see you on the other narrow boaters vlogs at Crick! Sorry to hear about Gary Phillips dog Chip passing at Crick

[@kevinknowles3365]

Another enjoyable video. I had my ears syringed a few weeks ago and talking to the nurse about not all GP practices offering it she said that all had to stop during the worst of covid as the virus was found to survive in the ears. Spraying water etc was the danger.

[@andycrossland3892]

Yay, been looking forward to getting a video notification from you. Thanks Robbie!

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

The Railway definitely gets the thumbs up for Pub of the Week... A dartboard and Timothy Taylors Landlord on the pumps being two big plus points as far as I'm concerned.

[@ColinOBear]

Another great vlog - brilliant! 😀

[@matsiesmith2425]

Hi there just got rid of covid. Thank you for keeping me sane. Your narrow boat and adventures make me smile. Life can be rough and yet full of challenges. Keep doing what you do best. Love ya 👍😘⭐

So great to watch you tonight Robbie.Made my gloomy day.x

[@kertmustapha2367]

Sorry about the clutch in your truck. I too have a really bad transmission problem. I bet mine is more expensive than yours. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@brodie2711]

Great stuff Robbie. Thanks, mate.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

New look to your vlog Robbie. I like the fancy fonts you were using. Yes. Lovely job.

[@jo2oxla]

Always good to see your blogs. i put a couple of maintemce drops of olive oil in my ears every so often to keep canals clear. we stopped syringing as its one the highest areas of lititigation. Also aerosol generating procedure re covid.

Love watching your travels ❤❤

[@carolynabramo7108]

Hey Robbie, Lovely Vlog. Hope you are well!!+

[@KarrierBag]

Oi Oi trouble, you were moored right next to my friends yard in Mirfield. When you back this way (Selby) about time we had another pint or 3 and a game of pool ( thrashing 🤣)

[@scaniamanbert]

I was born in Mirfield and my family still live there, those very same tree’s you were passing was where we built our rafts and tried them out on the river. (Sadly my brother fell in and drown from there) the posts in the middle held up a bridge that allowed people to get to the mill and the engine shed. I’ve enjoyed watching you TV series and have just found your KZbin channel so will be subscribing.

[@RobbieCumming]

That’s so tough sorry to hear that. Thanks for subscribing!

[@paulayala4816]

Looks like the last pub was definitely POTW material, darts, pool table, live music and lively group of people. That's a bummer about the clutch going out on your truck. I made an effort to replace my own and found it had a hydraulic clutch assembly and that it entailed more work than I was willing to exert so I took it to a shop.

[@silva-anderida7695]

This is just another canal vlog ... I like it.Cheers!

"Just another canal vlog really" .... And JUST what the Dr Ordered EH?? 👍🤠

Love following your journey robbie, great vlog. Hope your ok with the breakdown of your truck and its not to expensive. Take care 👍

[@RobbieCumming]

It was very expensive back in April when i had it fixed but financially recovered from it now!!😂

[@hughcarson6837]

Another good one.

[@joerg-michajahn4963]

So I was thinking "Trains!!" (cheeky reference, I know). But seriously, it always amazes me how often the railway runs near the cut. No surprise, in a way, of course. Still: that you then go to "The Railway" is just - nice! BTW, thanks for letting some of your music gear into the shot when you introduced the newest crew members. Always curious to see what people use for making their own music. And a speedy (and affordable!) recovery to your truck!!

[@RobbieCumming]

Thanks - the gear was for playing music not making it but i totally get it i love seeing what kit people use 👍

You need to keep us up to date with the launderettes, try the one at Riddlesden, very good machines, but prices up 25% from six months ago! Three minutes from boat. Manned. Co op across street, prices in line with launderette!

[@liamofthornhill]

Leccy and the price of soap have increased so it was bound to happen unfortunately

[@douglaswehmann3088]

Hi Robbie, always enjoy your music and videos here in the US. Two odd points, 1: is your "font" available, 2: when my ears need a clean, I use "Elephant ear washer" $29 on Amazon!

Nice one Robbie - navigate and chill. I think you need to treat yourself to a new cap.

[@RobbieCumming]

I have done it just needs wearing in 😂

[@trottiscliffe]

There seems to be a lot of Slows on the canal. Possibly explains why you often see a sign highlighting a dead one.

[@davidbrynhughes]

When I saw you were going to Mirfield I was willing you to go into the Ossett Brewery Flowerpot, then you abandoned the idea. You really missed a treat, great atmosphere and an excellent choice of beers. Maybe next time.

[@RobbieCumming]

Interesting… because I found the atmosphere was oppressive, and there didn’t seem to be anything to do in there apart from stand awkwardly in the way of people going to and from the bar and the toilets! I’ve been to Ossett pubs before, beer selection is generally pretty good you’re right.

[@davidbrynhughes]

@@RobbieCumming I have never been in alone, so I guess its a different experience. It looked nice where you ended up though.
