Narrowboating - First days of summer 2024

In this video the Sun makes its first long term appearance as we travel through Barton Turn Lock 10 visitor Moorings, Shobnall Marina and Shobnall Fields, Willington, and the Dragon Public House. Followed by Stenson Bubble and Shardlow Inland Water Port.
Come and join us, for a video filled with sunshine and for the topics covered in this video, some local history of inland ports, Burton-on-Trent and Shardlow Marina and Port.
THE GENTLE LIFE!
In my little world of boating, I like fun, I enjoy the simple things in life, i love the gentle life, where nothing ever really happens. Well, until i get to work that is. Work is work, boating is the experience.
My world view is that there is already too much nonsense going off, in my world I try to inject a little humour, because after all, we only get one shot at this, so why not make it a good one.
We film our videos with the iPhone 14 pro max in 4K HDR
We Hope you enjoy this video

Very nice video, I really liked your narration on the history on lock/canal and the local town. Great work. Love your dogs.

[@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882]

Thank you very much, nice to get some great feedback, my dogs have been aboard since they were puppies and have a good relationship with the diverse wildlife. Levi and Diesel get on so well together and with other dogs. Next year it will be 10 years since we came aboard.

Another great video and really interesting learning about the local history.

[@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882]

Many thanks! I am currently editing the next part, (1 Aug 24 )with part three dropping in a few weeks time, I visited Langley Mill basin today, incredible. I will be shoehorning that into part 3 in this series …

[@eclectictraveller]

Nice to see the locks from boat level, makes a change from the perspective I get of the locks on my canal walks.

[@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882]

Yes, I thought that, it’s difficult to come up with different perspectives with so many channels producing video’s … glad you liked it and thanks for the comment. Looking forward to your next vlog. Good health and take care…

Well it finally dropped. And ironically on a day where we are set to get a whopping 8mm of rain ☔️ starting as it did at 11am on Monday 15 July 2024. I hope you like our video, My videos will only be available on here for an allotted period, enjoy!
