The bit with the music, and the view along the length of the boat, looking down the river, just quietly travelling along......was an absolute dream! Just gorgeous.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ahh thankyou. Wasn't it just a lovely scene. I loved it and I'm glad you did to. Thanks for watching.

[@paultoseland6855]

One of your best mate. Great to see you back on top form. Plenty of chat, information, and laughs. Enjoy the way you do the whining comments of your subscribers. Makes me chuckle. Keep attacking mate. All the best, Paul & Liz.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ahhh thankyou Paul and Liz for the lovely comment. I sort of try and answer the comments before they come. Ha ha ha. Makes me chuckle..Have a great day.

[@sandihandi7831]

Why is it we never see you cook Will? You can cook,, right? Lucky you always with those prepared sandwiches and pies. Hey, take care out there and there's nothing wrong with golf. Good exercise and all. Liked the music.

[@NarrowboatWill]

A few vlogs back I cooked and I ate it as well Sandy. Ha ha. I enjoy golf like you say for the exercise but also I meet people. Thanks for watching again..

[@lorithorpe3502]

[@NarrowboatWill]

It smells of roses to me. Ha, I like it..That food didn't last long Lori..My slim figure has gone to pot...If I ever had one....ha Thanks for watching...

[@sharonhiggs3248]

Hi , I am really enjoying your early vlogs-Fitting out the kitchen and bathroom . Worth viewers going back and watching 👍 I enjoy coming along on your cruises 😎

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ahhh thanks Sharon. I think my early camera work was abit rough. Well it hasn't changed so that's good...ha ha . I can't believe it was years ago and it all still works... Blimey...Thanks for watching and commenting Sharon..

[@keithknightson4410]

Very enjoyable vlog Will. You were making my mouth water with the food

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha it did me when I was editing. Cheers Keith.

[@phillipbateman2284]

Thank you Janice for feeding your bro. He cant stop n chat, got golf on this arvo. Gone awry, right up the Swanie, I mean Aire. Good on you Will, taking us for a lovely cruise. Thanks, and take care.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha cheers Phil. People like Janice are the salt of the Earth. Take very very good care.

[@traceydodd7286]

Aww if you hadn't done the beautiful Huddersfield narrow (shallow) you wouldn't have met me 🤣🤣 boat came past the other day hey you were on wills vlog waved like mad at me 👍🤣🤣xxx

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha hello Tracey. I think it was the same bloke who said he's never doing it again Ha ha. ooh your famous on that stretch now....Have a lovely evening..

[@MrOVERANOUT]

I took up golf when I worked in the Fire Service. Got all the gear but had no idea. As a Yorkshireman, I couldn't reconcile paying whatever the fees were to try and get round in less than par. I like getting my moneysworth. So took 7 or 8 shots at every hole... 🤔 I see that you do the same. Nice one ripper. I enjoyed the mood music. Very ethereal.

[@NarrowboatWill]

That was such a great course for the money. The greens were perfect. I thanked the groundsman for their work. Shame I took so many shots getting onto them. I love being out in lovely scenery scrambling through bushes and hitting balls from behind trees. Ha.. I haven't played for weeks. I miss it..Thanks for watching Harry. Have a lovely evening.

[@hilarygibson3150]

Beautiful cruise on the river. Great music👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ahhh bless you Hilary. Glad you liked it. Take care.

[@maisiecatchat]

Fab vlog, as usual. Love your music. Stunning scenery, must make you feel happy when you look out on that view and pootle along that picturesque river.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Words can't describe those views. The conditions were perfect. I really love it..I'm glad you love it to..Look after yourself and god bless.

[@dba750]

Loved golf, especially with a bag full of beers ;)

[@NarrowboatWill]

Might play better with a beer swing. Ha ha. Fantastic greens..Amazing value...cheers

[@littleoldme205]

🙈 It was nice of that kind lady to give you that food 😂 That boat stuck over the weir has been there since 1976/1977 its called Thomas, i know the full story of how it got there but i cant say on here 🙊 your vlog of the last time you were in Castleford was posted in September last year, you were cruising in the opposite direction towards Leeds. Great vlog as always Will thank you.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Hello Janice the star of my vlog. I remember the area but I couldn't remember where I moored. I could of checked my vlogs but I hate watching my old vlogs..funny that. A lovely area for boaters around there. I enjoyed that food. Good quality Janice. Thanks again and hopefully see you next time around..ha.. Have a lovely evening..

[@heatherreynolds1771]

Will, you really did such a fantastic job with the piece of music you wrote! ❤ It mirrored the beautiful river, the nature going by, everything!! Lifelong classical pianist here, telling you... keep composing! You have talent!

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ahhh thankyou Heather. I like that deep moody music with unusual sounds. You keep watching and commenting and I'll keep vlogging and composing. Deal?..Have a great day...

[@jimmineweaser3300]

I’m so glad you’re including your music on your vlogs! Have you considered a collaboration with Heidi of Narrowboat Pirate or Robbie Cummings , or both for that matter. I’m a musician myself and your music is a GREAT accompaniment to your crushing vlogs. ✌️❤️🎹

[@NarrowboatWill]

I don't know Robbie I know his vlogs but not in person. Heidi Mrs Pirate lady I call her, she's great. I send her my music and she lets me know if it's rubbish or not, Ha ha. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it. I make music for myself to listen to really. I will start making vlog music...which abit lighter. I like making scores which can last upto 38 minutes..Thanks Jim have a lovely day.

[@wb7181]

Cool music, ambient like. 🙂

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou...

[@TheSkskitey]

Nice vlog Will , cruising on a river is great , when it's not in flood of course . I like watching you play golf so bring it on :-)

[@NarrowboatWill]

Oooh you like golf do you? Right 30 min clip of me smashing my balls into bushes coming up.🤣🤣🤣. I'd get loads of stick if I did that...ha, I'm glad somebody out there likes it..I love it. Thankyou for watching Kitey

[@dougiepaine449]

i played a lot of golf got down to a 9 handicap then detatched a retina so now cant play to same so gave it all up i have a couple of new gloves here you can have if i new where to send u them ,, nice vid as usual and no bumps..hehe

[@NarrowboatWill]

That would be fantastic Dougie. Message me at [e-mail] and I'll send you an address. All my gloves are finished. It's a shame you can't play, it's so hard getting older. We are wiser without the fitness to use it. 9 handicap is bloody amazing. Thanks ever so much...Take care.

[@1258-Eckhart]

Never mind about 3-D printers, they should put their heads together to make a smell generator driven off a USB port on the computer. I imagine it like the old TV-technology of three colour guns making all the pictures you ever need. There'd be say three base fluids held in small silo tanks and with some clever mixing all the smells you ever need would be wafted towards your nostrils by a little airscrew. Then we "rippers" could smell the rosiness of the weir and the cherry blossoms.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha what about muck spreading? You can have that smell I don't want it. 😂😂😂😭😭😭

Was watching your adventures and thought I recognised the accent! First time I heard Bulwell mentioned on KZbin being born and bred from there myself. Enjoying the videos keep up the good work.

[@robertspencer3914]

@@NarrowboatWill Great to hear from you, my father worked at bestwood pit until it’s closure. I was from Bulwell but have long since moved away. I’ve spent many a happy trip in a narrow boat on the canals and watch with great interest recognising you passing the places where I’ve been. Keep up the travels.

at 14:25 it was the Wheldale Basin. There was the Wheldale Collierie nearby and there the coal was transferred to the boats.

I knew it was some sort of wharf for loading. Thanks for the info Juergen.
