[@roadstrom]

Yes I bought you a coffee you nasty little boatman 😉

[@carmencross3754]

I totally don't mind the wind noise. It's part of the experience of going on a virtual narrowboat cruise!

[@NarrowboatWill]

Some viewers don't seem to realise that Carmen. I think it's worse with headphones.

[@NorthernNarrowboaters]

Wind noise makes it real. Love your vlogs will. Real people are our kind of people x

[@NarrowboatWill]

Bless your hearts. You 3 take care. Just getting ready to go over the Wash. Take care

[@christinetaylor6897]

Morning Will, don't worry about the wind noise, it's all part of it. Great video, I love the bike journeys, golf etc and you are right about 18 holes, I just do 9! Best wishes Christine x

[@NarrowboatWill]

Hello Christine. I don't think people realise how hard golf is when I'm rubbish. ha ha Thankyou for watching again and good on ya for playing.

[@susangoulding3159]

Lovely to see my favourite walking spots from the rivers view. Welcome to sprotbrough. Very popular area is the falls

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

Another very enjoyable video, thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@NarrowboatWill]

My pleasure mate.

[@letsbefrank6269]

I notice you keep your solar panels clean Will, great idea. Nice video, relaxing trip down the river.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I brush them off to get the best power Frank. Thanks for noticing.

[@LloydHywelBevan]

loving this cruise Will heading to my beloved Sheffield where I was raised - words can't describe it can they and why should they - you are what you are fella and that's why everyone adores your channel - Will's way !

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou for the great comment Lloyd. I enjoyed Sheffield I used to travel up from Nottingham. Years later I'm back. Ha ha cheers

[@bingbong7316]

Love the bridges, Newcastle eat your heart out. The Don is absolutely splendid.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I was very surprised how beautiful the Don is. Silver propeller at the end as well. Have a good day.

[@carolinefiler5506]

Must admit we drive down the A1 and often wondered if you can use this as we have never seen a boat on it. It is beautiful. Thanks for showing us theses beautiful rivers.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Amazing river I was blown away by it. Thankyou again Caroline for watching.

[@carbootsally]

I've never been up to this area so interesting x

[@NarrowboatWill]

It's a lovely river Sally. I'm very impressed. Take wonderful care today.

[@daveoliver7521]

great intro again, keep taking the tablets mate🤣I recommend lashings of Lard for your bruising, it's also pretty good for helping you get a tan, so I have been told😂

[@NarrowboatWill]

Can I put lard on my tablets as well? Ha ha Cheers for watching Dave.

[@janiceblacow1728]

Will you are a real tonic : )

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou so much Janice.

I always look forward to your videos Will, a nice relaxing one today.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou for your support Philip. Have a great day.

[@garylinker69]

That was beautiful 🤩

[@NarrowboatWill]

I was very shocked at how beautiful it is Gary. I thought it would be all industrialised. Cheers

[@austen.5756]

my ribs feel like I've had a kicking this morning but me an the Mrs did 23 miles of lumpy bumpy towpath from Lapworth to Stratford and back. here's a new word for you relating to Doncaster. Miserable 🤣 keep chugging.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha ha great comment. I found Doncaster people pretty glum to be fair. Perhaps it was me being to happy. Ha ha cheers

[@lorithorpe3502]

lovely video , that green chickweed is leathal , dogs sometimes think it's grass & get a shock when they find it's not ,& one or two have nearly drowned when they've fallen in , i'd probably use the word very panoramic lol , hope you're feeling well soon .

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou Lori I feel chipper now. That's a good word should've thought of that. I will use it if I can say it. Pani panner..oh it's gorgeous. Ha ha

[@martianmagician6215]

Donny is my home town, joined the army aged 19 to escape and I haven't been back in years. Watching your last two video's I hardly recognize the place. The Don was once the most polluted river in Europe and now salmon are running up it again, unbelievable. A truck full of vegetables drove off that A1M bridge that you mentioned , apparently the locals were eating free cabbages for weeks after. If you go back up the Selby canal it is now carpeted with that strange green weed and it is getting worse.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I thought the river Don going into Sheffield would be heavily industrialised but it's very pretty and bursting with wildlife. Green people keep telling us we are killing the planet but it seems to be the opposite. Fantastic cruise. Thanks for watching.

[@michellec8273]

@@NarrowboatWill just because we've cleaned up some of the rivers, it doesn't mean we're not messing up lots more places. These heat waves and droughts are some of the consequences of what we're doing.

[@tonycarter3756]

Nobody wanted to live by the waterside when l was a kid ,Sometimes when you were fishing the hook would dissolve,probably due to the large battery pile leading down to the waters edge .My Dad said he used to slide down it on old sheets of tin when he was a kid ! No Thorpe Park then 😱

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha No Thorpe park. Alot cheaper and more fun. Great story thanks Tony.

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

My aunt used to moor her boat there. I think those noises are a nearby quarry that is used as a gun shooting range.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Very loud at times. I thought it was dynamite for the quarry. Makes sense cheers again Tony.

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

Wouldn’t want to be in one of those houses when the Don floods

[@NarrowboatWill]

I know what you mean. I wouldn't live near a river. Beautiful in summer though. Take care Tony.

[@thomascoyne157]

Nice Will 🌟 I Will You’ve got to be careful when hitting them balls into the bush and especially whose bush😂😂 and check all your bits and pieces all men should do that😇😇

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha ha yeah I always shout before going in the bush incase someone's already in there. Bits checked pieces checked.

[@barrieking5939]

Hi Will, it's me again. You could say those views of the tree lined river are, 'Splendiferous '. I suspect the growth in that lock is 'Duck Weed', but needs a closer look. Didn't realise you were a nottingham lad. Originate from there meself. Which area did you come from? I were Bulwell. Cheers mate.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I lived in Ashley growing up but moved to Bulwell and Bilborough then Strelley new housing estate. I can't say I miss it. Good word Barrie. Cheers.

Oh no yellow buses have gone. Perhaps not enough people using them. I used to say duck but they didn't like it down there. I can't say I miss the traffic in Bournemouth this time of year Lee. Have a good day.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on cut will thanks lee

You're very welcome Lee.

[@johnwilkinson2314]

The explosions are likely the sound of gun fire as there is a police firing range in the quarry near to where you moored up.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Oh right. Thanks for letting me know. I thought it might be explosives they use. Cheers John.

[@1258-Eckhart]

That dream was a bit disturbing though. If the symptoms continue, I would stop putting things down to a stomach bug and go see a doctor. Also a strange sort of synchronicity: when our family lived in Doncaster, the family doctor, who was also a family friend, lived in Sprotborough, where we used to visit him (+ family) a lot.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Wow! it was a strange dream. I always wonder where we go because I meet so many people in my dreams. Great memory thankyou.

[@RobertSmith-zv1xo]

The comedy bit at the start is funny, or was it serious? Haha. Think it's alright to make up words, some catch on and make it into the dictionary. If that happens, it's not made up anymore and a word! Loved the cruise Will! May we call you Will?

[@NarrowboatWill]

The beginning is whatever you want it to be Robert. If it makes you laugh then that's even better. I make up words all the time. Filfy fumbs up ripper.

[@yta6765]

You suggest Nottingham has a rough accent. My late mum was from Nottingham and where I grew up people thought she had a posh accent. That was only about 40 minutes by car from where you are in this video.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Yeah I used to come up to Sheffield with my mates. When I moved to Bournemouth it was a London accent so now I'm mixed areas. Ha ha cheers for watching.

[@yta6765]

@@NarrowboatWill You think your's is mixed up? I'm from teh north east, lived even further north for while, then Kent, then London followed by a few decades working abroad largely in countries that speak English as a second language, so with their slang added in for good measure. Still in the Far East now.

Can u fish from your boat anywhere you are as long as you have a rod Liecence or do u get A mate you can’t fish ere ya not a member

[@NarrowboatWill]

I have 2 licences. A rod licence and a wonderers licence. I'm not 100 percent sure about fishing anywhere. But I get my rod out until somebody tells me different. I actually asked a bailiff the other day and he didn't know because I'm not on the bank. It's a grey area. Cheers Mike

[@juliesmith260]

You might think you talk differently now but I recognised you as a Nottingham lad as soon as I heard you. Just with the odd posh pronunciation every now and then😂
