Mountains of salt and Pub of the Week at the end of the Weaver

[@theturquoisedream9244]

After chugging along and country house gentleman (whom I watch avidly) you're an absolute joy!!!! Jolly good show mate!

[@RobbieCumming]

Ah thanks so much!!

[@julianmillidge1198]

Just noticed you moored up behind our house in Worsley enjoying your morning cuppa Great to see you happy cruising Jools

[@kerriesowka6666]

Really enjoy winding down at the end of the day with these vlogs. Such beautiful scenery, occasional silliness and beer...what more can you ask for. Except more vlogs 👌🏻😆😆

[@divaden47]

I really love the way you give other boaters who vlog a shout-out. XXX

[@TomDoughty]

It's your openness, integrity and (apparent) ease with which you talk about your feelings that makes these videos work. The rest, is the icing on the cake, like a conduit that you communicate through. Wonderful stuff. Great to see our local canal and river which lurks just 50 yards from our home.

[@carlhowe5470]

Totally agree. Robbie comes across as a genuine chap, really enjoy his vlogs. Dawn and I have a share in a narrow boat, been down the Anderton lift a couple of times and even moored in Northwich for a day (popped home with a bag of dirty washing!). Through your comment here I have now found you on facebook - looking forward to listening to some slide guitar!

[@TomDoughty]

@@carlhowe5470 thanks Carl. By fluke, I met Robbie last week in Barnton, there's a path from the canal/river past our house. Thanks for your kind words. My music is available everywhere. Good place to start is my main site. www.tomdoughty.com

[@davidkitchen7941]

It is always good to see some railway structures.

[@catherineatkins7908]

How nice to be able to meet up with Fran and Rich and have a pint. It seems the River Weaver is very popular right now as the Foxes have just gone down the boat lift.

[@aaronhunter38]

Caught up with the Fox boys in Northwich. Great guys! I kept them chatting for over an hour and they even offered me a cuppa!

[@Rose-Willow]

Lovely to see Fran and Rich too! You're all such a lovely lot 😊

[@willgaukler8979]

... sometimes when you visit ... you become a friend and thusly missed ... when you have to leave ...lovely picture too ...memory years these are for you ...

[@louiselage7740]

I appreciate and enjoy your no nonsense approach to your vlogs, Robbie. You don't sugar coat anything and your honesty is refreshing and balanced. Thank you.

[@RobbieCumming]

Thanks great to hear 👍

[@altacat9702]

Outstanding!! ...thanks for the ride along!!

[@kiltedbill7594]

KINDA ECLECTIC VID, THANKS AGAIN ROBBIE.

[@SLO-Ride]

What a stunning bit of canal, after the salt mine. Picture perfect sailing!

[@wharfedalehome]

Robbie - I really enjoyed that, thank you.

[@Bob8091]

Thanks Robbie. It's so nice to sit inside a pub again! Sitting outside and cursing a cloud that covers the weak but warming sun. Trying to escape the constant cold wind we have been having. That was no fun.

[@Gmanmx01]

Good to see places that I’ve cycled regularly for years from the waters perspective! Great vid.👍

[@gars1074]

Great video. Love your channel. So nice to see you meet up with my favorite canal boaters Fran and Rich!

[@ryanforeman3650]

Cracking video, thank you, just seen foxes afloat on the same canal too, glad you were able to find a actual pub for pub of the week too!

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

Love the gift and that Pub looked nice. Great trip .

[@leslielutz1874]

Watched Rich and Fran and you. Now watching You and Fran and Rich. LOVE IT.

[@wilfamos7314]

Great to see you and Naughty Lass back on the cut. Thanks for the great video with exciting drone footage! :-)

[@RustyManisduckman]

So happy to see you back. Been missing your vlogs

[@oldbloke204]

Great video thank you. The footage was awesome. Watching two narrowboats racing is like watching bald men fighting over a comb eh. Cheers.

[@kieran.stafford]

Fell in love with the TV show Robbie and today discovered your KZbin channel.

[@rogerwhittle2078]

I saw Floating Our Boat mention they were going for a beer with you and was so please for you all. I did point out you are but a day or so behind the Foxes and wondered if all three of you were going to meet for a beer somewhere. That would be awesome. Good vlog Robbie, good to see everyone beginning to 'open up' again.

[@dizzylizzysunflower]

Thank you for the vlog...Pub of the weeeeeek and it’s great to see Fran and Rich ..

[@franktuckwell196]

We did that trip in 2018 and found the architecture of all the by washes fascinating, looking like mini castles with extensive stonework around, the good old boys working the locks were there then as well.👍

[@stevesrepairs5778]

Thanks Robbie for a great vlog with Fran and Rich on the Weaver. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@hellyavard8552]

Well done Robbie I just love the art work for your boat! Some people are really clever!

[@susanmarker2164]

The Naughty Lass is beautiful!!! Congrats Robbie!!! 😊❤That arche reflection was awesome!!! Very happy to see you back on the cut..nice work Robbie very nice!!!😊❤

[@RobbieCumming]

Thanks Susan!!

[@stilcrazychris]

Good to see ya Robie. You know your having a great day when you've got fellowship, a cold one, & some good olè dogs hanging around ya. Be safe & crank on, Chris from Missouri

[@karynbrown7519]

Looking good!

[@alannorman1773]

Just catching up on your vids, very excited with this one as I live just near the blue bridge. Lovely.

[@carolynabramo7108]

Hi Robbie, Good to see you and The Naughty Lass cruising again. Lovely vlog. So love the drone footage. Stay well!!!

[@nilo70]

Robbie ! Love the drone , and the ride .

[@Ian-gw2vx]

At 1:43 I can see our old flat we lived in the 90s.

[@Santafefrank]

Great vlog Rob

[@Will-am-i]

Robbie, you're an inspiration to the newbies, hope to meet you on the water one day. 😁👍🏼🤞🏻

[@simongadsby8436]

Love watching your videos, there is one small problem i do have tho.......there's not enough of them! Lol keep on cracking Robbie

[@mac3573]

Loved the shout out to the kings lock in Middlewich... brought back some grt stomping ground memories from the late 70's. Had a good crowd of regulars and darts team, great ale and super friendly bar staff. Just further down on the way out (towards Sandbach) was the Kinderton (my former pub of the week n where I met my now wife of now 38yrs) Sadly the Kindo is now a dishevelled looking shell awaiting restoration (i hope) - I know how it feels :)

[@lornaeaketts-rogers2812]

Great footage, loved the salt mine, glad you were able to go to a pub 😊🌱🍻

[@robreibel3491]

Great to see how you guys are living at the moment during lockdown. Hopefully the pubs will be full soon. From Tasmania

[@boomerology18hz78]

Your canal videos are full of inspiration and vibe, watched about half of them since canal diaries on the bbc , we have found a red wine of the week! Called lock keeper, happy Cranking.

[@RobbieCumming]

I’ve had that one! Can’t remember if any good 😂

[@dereklonewolf9011]

What a happy ending Robbie . Guinness ! 👍 🇨🇦 71+ Yorkshire expat

[@Goldie644]

Good to see life finally returning to the cut 👍

[@MegaSuperpotter]

Wonderful Robbie!

[@stevecalver1879]

Great vlog Robbie always wanted to cruise the Weaver great clips thanks

[@MrRichard64]

Loved it keep up the good work great viewing

[@mitchwarren1600]

Well done Robbie just watching your tv series, knew and glad to find you here on YT !

[@chrisabbott7458]

Good to hear from you again. Couldn't watch until Friday evening as Internet from Crick to Foxton is almost non existent on three but now moored outside Foxton village it's great. Now to watch all the other vlogs.

[@MB-rp2qg]

Robbie this boy from Todmorden, again thanks you, as we are still on lockdown in Canada. You warm my heart. Cheers from Fredericton New Brunswick Canada.

[@billmc4673]

I LOVED WATCHING THAT VIDEO, AND WAS CAPTIVATED BY THE AMAZING STONEWORK, THAT FORM THE LOCK WALLS AND THE PEDESTRIAN FOOTBRIDGE..HUGE CASTELLATED SKILLFULLY ENGINEERED PIECES OF MASONARY..SO,PLEASING TO THE EYE..AND THEN A DAY LATER, I SAW IT ALL AGAIN, AS THE 'FOXES ',WENT THE OTHER WAY 😆..LOVELY VIDEO 👍

[@johnhartley3596]

Enjoyed Fran and Rich’s podcast feat. Robbie Cummings.

[@elegantinfusions]

Cracking vlog as usual mate, look forward to Fran and Rich's vlog now .

[@wingsofcrystalaz]

Hello from Arizona 🌵

[@ericfoster3636]

Viaduct? Via not a goose? LOL Cool video, I hope I made you smile with my goofy humor. Cheers Friend. :-)

[@andyhedley1250]

Brilliant to 'see you' back Robbie - Id just watched the Foxes going the other way..

[@chris-cole]

Can't wait for some more epic drone shots! Not sure if I've had a shout out in the CIC but proud supporter of the vlogs............one day our paths will cross, I'll be in my lorry on the road, and probably a flyover somewhere 😉

[@RobbieCumming]

Hey Chris so sorry hopefully will get to your name soon, am still on February sign ups! Thanks for your support!

[@chris-cole]

@@RobbieCumming hey Robbie! Thank you for your reply, don't worry about it too much...........we're all hoping you're enjoying some awesome Crank It time!!!

[@mikesmith-yj3ih]

Robbie mate, at least it was not the mines of Mordor ! even Gandalf had problems there. well done you 😀

[@grahamball7243]

Your vlogs Robbie are pure escapism. Love all the regular items like adding of the Crank it Crew. Although I don't drink alcohol I think Pub of the Week is great. So hope you get a third series with the BBC👍💪

[@laurieberg2880]

Ha ha I'm having a Guinness right now watching this from Alberta Canada hahaha

[@brodie2711]

Nice bumping into Rich and Fran two of my favourite NBoaters. Anyway Robbie thanks for that smashing Vlog

[@paulayala4816]

I have been following Fran and Rich's channel as well, nice that you can meet up with them for a pint. Seeing the pint of Guinness reminds me of having lunch in Breckenridge, CO. Delicious beef stew, with a slab of Indian corn bread and a pint, all the while a light snow coming down on top of our heads.

[@RobbieCumming]

Ah that sounds great cheers Paul!

[@davidbutler4363]

Excellent vlog and an excellent job done on bbc4 last night.well done robbie😁👍👏👏👏

[@dairyfarmerdan]

Loving your work Robbie 👍

[@lefroy1]

That little trawler at 5:35 is so cute! Half expected to see Popey peeking thru the porthole

[@andynightingale7335]

perfect viewing at lunchtime at work Robbie! (Fancy a pint now after that!)

[@jimhammond6395]

Robbie them tappits would drive me mad ha ha love the pubs off the week you must have sampled some good beer over your time on the cut

[@fp30e]

Hi Robbie, Lovely Vlog again this week. I like the way you keep Cranking along, so relaxing as you do your own thing. Great to see Pub of the week, but no Jingle this week. I love your "Pub of the Week Jingle". Take care, and looking forward to your next Vlog.

[@RobbieCumming]

It is in there somewhere near the start if you listen carefully 😂

[@claireb2700]

Nice to see you haunting our fair river :)

[@craigelliott4338]

Robbie, haven't forgotten you, had some boring technical crap to endure. Anyway, you will be cranking in the warm this winter. Cracking drone shots btw.

[@deerohdeer8000]

Just been watching your series on tv 📺!! Fantastic I’m hooked !! Top guy great series ! Just subscribed 👍👍

[@hughcarson6837]

Good vlog as usual

[@chiselset]

Nice one Robbie absolutely love watching your vblogs and the TV programs but when are you going to pen a book 👍

[@RobbieCumming]

One day I’m sure!

Deep Store has The Ark of The Covenant

[@chungokhowb2957]

fantastic robbie, just watched the bbc4 series, yr a fine fellow, great stuff

[@davidsnapebrcrosslane8782]

Sean and Collin (Foxes Afloat ) are at Northwich for a couple of days on Silver Fox , say hello if you see them.

[@RobbieCumming]

I did try but they were too busy

[@barriepayne1690]

Nice to see you all together,didn’t no Fran could sink Guinness like she did.what about their new boat.keep cranking pal,

[@honda0105]

How good does it feel to have a proper pint of draught beer? My girlfriend and I had a pint or two or three or four in Liverpool yesterday and it was great to be back inside a pub. 😉 Good to see another one of your videos and to see you’re keeping well and meeting up with old friends. Safe boating Robbie.

[@alanswallow9033]

Great to see the Guinness! I did suggest to Fran & Rich that might be having a Guinness or two at the Pub Of Week! Cheers from Christchurch New Zealand!

[@halfglassfull]

digging the synths.

[@mikehurley5052]

I enjoy all your vids but this one seemed really good.

[@RobbieCumming]

Ah cheers Mike

[@stephengardiner9867]

We have a Windsor here in Ontario, Canada... complete with salt mines!

[@RobbieCumming]

Ha cool!

[@johnmaher9917]

Watching you on Bbc4 again 👍

[@anhistorian7255]

Me too, I think that's the fourth time I've watched the first series and it's always a joy.

[@sa9861]

Me hat’s off to you Girls n Boys in the UK 🍺🎩 After the Flood the Naughty Lass and LauraMaisie, scouting a local, pulled into the Ark Inn for a celebration drink. Happy Days! 🎉🍺🍺🍺🎉 Haha, you’re a good story-teller Robbie; I enjoyed this immensely. Cheers from “Hobbit (Hobart) Town”🍺🐨

[@FjHenderson]

I follow Floating our Boat channel to. Lovely couple. I seen you in there last video.

[@johnallen148]

Nice to see you Robbie you do keep bumping in Fran and Rich beginning to wonder about you lot lol great video most enjoyable,take care keep safe,John 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@imranzazai7404]

Nice place.

[@stephenbirchall941]

Great video. Love the Weaver. My moorings are at Preston Brook so I'll be popping down at some stage. I'm not sure it's courteous to mention other Vloggers but Foxes Afloat are on the Weaver. You could do a joint episode!

[@RobbieCumming]

I don’t know them though and seemed to moor when they were going so sadly not something we could sort out!

[@bex82uk]

Nice one Robbie. I'm enjoying your second album Choons II by the way, perfect to listen to whilst crunching the numbers at work :)

[@RobbieCumming]

Ace so glad to hear!!

[@tanna4534]

14:14: You looking longingly at the pub!

[@guypidsley1572]

Lapped it up ! Guy

[@FredStam]

I also follow foxes afloat and they made the same trip only reverse and they post the YT video at the same day remarkeble. Nice Video Rob

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you!

[@nickhickton2395]

Did you know, towns with 'wich' at the ends of their names e.g. Nantwich, Middlewich etc, were always synonymous with salt production. Not sure which (see what I did there ?) came first, the chicken or the egg but I learned this from the commentary on the trip boat at the Anderton Boat Lift. So there you go ...

[@RobbieCumming]

I did know that but thanks good to be reminded!

[@estd1984]

What drone did you get? You can use the drone to find pub of the week now, just do a fly by 😬

[@Peter-nv3wu]

Hi Robbie, just wondering what engine and battery/power set up you are running ? I am Gathering all the info I can, on my way to get my first narrowboat.

[@RobbieCumming]

Info about my boat is in the ‘about’ section - just updated it for you to include batteries 🤓👍

[@Peter-nv3wu]

@@RobbieCumming Thanks Robbie.

[@Peter-nv3wu]

@@RobbieCumming Thanks for that Robbie. Two questions if I May. Have you come across anyone who uses evacuated vacuum tubes or flat sheet heaters for solar heating their water, from what I have read they are far more efficient than copper with a reflector ? on to electrics/batteries now, again do you know anyone who has dual alternators ? A 12v for starting the engine and a 24v for power as from what I have read one 24v battery can give twice the Amps that one 12v can, and 230v off the inverter as I would have thought ? And finally, from what I have heard so many boaters are running their propulsion engine just to run the alternator when they are moored for a few days and to me that's rather the sledgehammer and nut. I have seen a few who have who have a generator on the tow path away from their boat because of the noise I assume, but very few have an inboard generator, which I thought would be far more economical to run.

[@1258-Eckhart]

4:06 - a practical demonstration of "knowing the ropes".

[@HorshamSteve]

Rather than waiting for rain, which I’ll only confirm that you have a leak “somewhere”; have you considered doing a more controlled test by using a hose pipe on specific areas of the outside in order to identify exactly where the leak is?

[@RobbieCumming]

Could do but would need a second person to help!!

[@HorshamSteve]

@@RobbieCumming OMG, thanks for replying, but your first instinct (probably - what is this crazy person asking me this for) would be correct. I somehow asked this question on completely the wrong video. I think Autoplay must have opened your video just as I was about to write this question to another leaky boater. Thanks all the same, and hopefully you don’t have a bilge full of water 😀

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Nice to see the Naughty Lass and you out, about in the sunshine and able to get to the pub. She’s looking good. Guinness is ok. Maybe something a tad lighter but still dark. Maybe a Beamish stout? If that is legal to order in the UK?
