Narrowboat Holiday Plans Forced to Change on day 1!! No.177

[@MrOVERANOUT]

Nice to see Mrs Lumsden again and as pretty as ever. 🎉 I like the bohemian look. Maybe Lumpy could follow suit with a Yorkshire Bandana.... a knotted white hanky. 😂

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@MrOVERANOUT I shall go check my hanky drawer!! Not sure if there’s a clean one! Mrs L says hello and thank you.

[@prestoncrewnarrowboaters8619]

Nice to see you back on the water, have a good trip

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@prestoncrewnarrowboaters8619 thank you. We absolutely loved it. Plenty of footage captured too!

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Absolutely brilliant you two are fantastic. Love love love the banter. So genuine beautiful cruise too. Awesome vlog indeed. Best wishes 🎉

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Thanks Trevor! Really appreciate that mate.

[@IanKitchingman]

Glad it wasn't only me that thought the bridge holes were tight.

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@IanKitchingman they were! Vegetation doesn’t help! Good to see you both earlier!

[@catherine3902]

Lovely seeing you on your holiday. Hope you made it to Liverpool and the Llangollen. Keep safe and well 😊

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@catherine3902 thank you Catherine. We had a great holiday and did indeed get to where we intended. I’ve got plenty of filming done so you’ll no doubt see the continuing story/vlogs.

[@andrewjohnson-hr6qv]

Come on, Lumpy. You're living the dream. I know your going over old ground just embrace it and enjoy. Great vlog though thank you

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@andrewjohnson-hr6qv it’s all an act (mostly). I love it pal!!

[@andrewjohnson-hr6qv]

@NarrowboatNatterings I know, mate. It's disappointing when you have planned a trip out and circumstances beyond your control happen, but 9 times out of 10, you end up having an even better trip than you expected.

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@andrewjohnson-hr6qv yeah. We went on (as you’ll see) to have a great time.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Good to see at least the small amount of the Macc that you managed to do. Its definitely a canal we want to do as well... Maybe that's where our paths will cross next? :)

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@WingingItBoatingonaBudget it would be nice to think so old chap! Say hello to Dawn from us.

[@michelefoxton1586]

Lovely vlog and I do when you sing x

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@michelefoxton1586 thank you Michele! Mrs L doesn’t share your enthusiasm!!

[@Rovinman]

Well ! This was a reversal ! Sorry I haven't been on sooner, but MY Computer decided to give me the ""BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH a week ago"", but UNLIKE the canal there was NO Winding hole to turn around in ! I've only just got my { very ancient } computer back from the "Man who fixes EVERYTHING" You're probably in the "Pool by now ! I bet a lot has changed since I was last there ! My family used to live just 12 miles down the E. Lancs. Road, towards Manchester ! Nice to see Mrs Lumsden looking so Lovely and Cheerful, and joining in the singing ! I'll bet that's why the Horsefly decided to grab a bite while it could ! Looking forward to seeing the old Docks again ! Love to Mrs. Lumsden ! Take care, .... of the ":Cavern" ! See you shortly on the next episode ! Stu xx

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@Rovinman when PCs go wrong, it’s very stressful!!! Yes been to Liverpool and other places and currently on way home. Will actually be there this afternoon. Plenty of filming done so vlogs will gradually show what we’ve been up to. Have a great day Stu and thanks as ever for your support and engagement.

[@robertbrierley7083]

Nice to see you both again, Sorry you've had to turn round have just come back from the Lanky where we've had a breach our Freeman 23 is nearly sat on the bottom of the marina, Canyon make Liverpool in a week, Good luck.😊

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@robertbrierley7083 yes the Lanky sounds a nightmare at the moment. Hope they sort it soon. We did make it to Liverpool. It’ll be a few vlogs away yet. It was awesome!

[@marsexpresschipper7915]

This seems like a lot of distance to cover in 3 weeks. A pity about the plans being changed, but mooring up near a pub and enjoying a nice pint of Guinness at the end of the day is what its all about.🙃

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@marsexpresschipper7915 it was a lot of distance. We averaged around 7hrs per day. We did have a couple of none cruising days however.

[@pathickman9271]

Awhh i feel your pain, in 10 years we've tried six time's to get up the Macci 😢

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@pathickman9271 gosh!!! Will try again for sure!

[@owencarlstrand1945]

Broughton Arms is a decent place to moor up and it hopefully slightly made up for what was a frustrating day

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Thanks for this. Yeah it was nice. Enjoyed a nice steak! What’s not to like eh?

[@davehopkin9502]

Look on the bright side, come back and do the Macc another year, then turn right at Marple and do the Upper Peak Forrest Canal.......

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@davehopkin9502 definitely doing this. We were only discussing this last night!

[@davehopkin9502]

@@NarrowboatNatterings If you feeling brave - come back down to Marple, descent the 16 lock flight and head on to Portland basin and go left and over the Huddersfield narrow... only 97 locks....

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@davehopkin9502 maybe next year! Get the Mrs’ muscles in training for a few months first! 😜

[@ktmmac]

Yong man indeed!!! You should have gone to spe£ s@v£?. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. It was great to see you, is Mrs L wearing that mic yet? I assume you made it! We watch with interest.

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@ktmmac great to meet you guys! Is she wearing the mic…. What do you think???

[@edwardhoughton2565]

[@MrSychnant]
