Getting to Thorne by narrowboat from Doncaster.

[@christinetaylor6897]

Loved that Will, you do make me laugh! Always great vlogs, your hard work filming and even harder work editing is hugely appreciated. Right at the beginning it said on screen Mr Van, looked more like a bus to me ha ha. Best wishes Christine x

[@NarrowboatWill]

Got to have a laugh Christine. Everyday things can be so funny. Glad you came along again. Have a great evening.

[@michellec8273]

Glorious sunrise!

[@NarrowboatWill]

It was about 4.30 in the morning. Quite rare those ones. I had to get it. Have a good day Michelle.

[@themindfulnarrowboat]

Super vlog Mr Will! You cracked that Latin name of the wasp beetle!🤭 The sunrise was stunning too. Safe cruising, take care🦋🌻👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

Because you and Mrs pirate told me to put it in I had to remake it. Ha ha Safe travels mindful family. Pat Zeph, stroke India, and give your dad a hug. Pffft ha

[@gailpz4764]

Who is India ? X

[@gazpol123]

Thank you for clarification of the fact that the Minster was burnt down by "Fire". This would have left me wondering how it did burn down.

[@NarrowboatWill]

You're welcome Gary.

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Superb filming and commentaries Will as per usual. Your mindset and humour is similar to mine we both upset the snow flakes but we are who we are. You are taking in some very interesting places as you go on your travels Will and for us it's great to see. Keep safe warm dry and virus free. Take great care no risks

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha if snowflakes takeover it's goodbye happiness. They're offended and triggered by everything normal. I really enjoy what I'm doing and I hope it comes through in my vlogs. Have a great day.

[@rickeys]

I always enjoy your vlogs. I have a great respect for what the CRT does so well. That includes the lockies too! Be well and keep up the great work!

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou for the great comment Rick. I have alot respect for them as well. I like to get them on when I can. Cheers

[@gazmartin50]

Hi will love your video, s being a Doncaster bloke I left in 86, and watching you going thru stainforth that was wer I use to go fishing back in them days, and thorne I know it well. So Thx alot mate and keep safe.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Alot of people say my travels bring back loads of childhood memories. It's great. Thanks for watching Gaz.

[@mauricewright1575]

Great vlog Will. The pipe over the canal was used by Pilkington glass works I believe it was for the residue from glass making it was pumped over the canal to a settling lagoon wich has recently been excavated and recycled.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Oh right that's interesting Maurice. Thankyou for the info.

[@carbootsally]

I've been watching your vlogs on the TV the last couple of weeks. Enjoyed all of them. Love the commentary xx

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou so much Sally. The commentary makes me laugh as well when I'm doing it. Have a good day.

[@LloydHywelBevan]

Stunning ending Will - what a beautiful shot !

[@NarrowboatWill]

Cheers you stuck it out to the end. Ha ha

[@annjarvis9300]

Good vlog as always Will keeps us entertained and happy you tc now age is in the mind lolAnn n David😉👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

You're right age is in the mind but my body won't listen. Ha ha Thanks again for watching guys.

[@mortxiii]

That smell in the air probably isn't sewage, more likely to be Prosper de Mulder - which is a waste food recycling plant. Also that pipeline was from the Old pilkingtons Glass factory.. it was the waste water outlet pipe, that goes to the slurry fields (water with fine sand in it)

[@NarrowboatWill]

That's interesting thankyou. I heard they recycled the glass waste slurry pit. The smell was a sewage smell but you're probably right. Cheers

[@mortxiii]

@@NarrowboatWill they did - they'd dump it out through the pipeline to let it dry out, then they'd re-use the sand from the pits once the water content was at a certain percentage.

[@susangoulding3159]

Fantastic to see my walking routes from the water view. Just lovely

[@NarrowboatWill]

It's a cracking place for boating it really is. Cycle track was rough though. Ha ha. Have a lovely evening Susan.

[@susangoulding3159]

@@NarrowboatWill I was wondering all week where to walk this Sunday and thanks to you I'm walking the canal from Barnby Dun. Lovely in the sun early morning

[@atoff]

Cows telling you to F off always makes me laugh.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha ha i'm glad because it makes me laugh.

[@lorithorpe3502]

great vlog Will , ive not been to doncaster fir years , but it's a lovely little town , it's nice when other boaters & lockies help , it's a shame about that boat sunk , it looked like it was a really nice boat once .

[@NarrowboatWill]

A chap bought that boat and took out the bilge pumps that kept it afloat so it sank. CRT have sent him a massive bill to have it removed. Sad thing is it's an historic boat and the owner would've been eligible for a grant to refit it. Shame. Thanks again Lori.

[@RobertSmith-zv1xo]

That sunrise was amazing! Good end to this vlog 😊😊

[@NarrowboatWill]

I got up to go for a pee and I thought wow let's get that on film. Cheers Robert.

[@stephenobrien5909]

10.10.We used to jump off the bridge over the canal in summer time.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Alot of people do. Takes some balls jumping off bridges. Ha Have a great weekend.

[@andyskinner9903]

Great to see our boats twin in the stainforth basin As you passed by Good pub in stanilands as I remember 🍺👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

Glad i got the boats in. People love it. I was impressed with Stanilands service. Cheers Andy

[@markmeadows9838]

Great video again 👍🏻 that smell would of been the De Mulders other side of the bridge 👊🏻👍🏻

[@stephenobrien5909]

The lock keepers house at 9.40 was built by Roibinsons Builders in about 1976..

[@NarrowboatWill]

As late as that wow. Thanks for the info Stephen and thanks for joining me.

[@toekneepea]

We have a beta 38 and we get that sound between 1600 and 1700rpm. Going over 1700 it disappears so I have put it down to a rattle which is resonance related. We only discovered it on the tidal Trent as we never normally go over 1400.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Oh well I hope it's just part of it and that's it. It does sound worrying though. I've thrashed my engine to the max so if it's going to go I'd rather it go on a canal rather than the tidal Trent. Ha ha Cheers for watching Tony.

[@leedavies3629]

Nice one Will busy old vlog that .ya boat can shift when you had it at full throttle ya say that rattle stopped now that’s good cud have ended up a Taylor fiasco ..and that clit beetle LMFAO Cheers Will Top stuff 🙂🔧⛳️✌️

[@NarrowboatWill]

Cheers Lee. I always squeeze alot of stuff in. The beetle name when I looked it up was hilarious. The noise is still here but not until full throttle so I just leave that alone. Ha ha have a good one.

[@carolinefiler5506]

Another great vlog. You do make us laugh we so look forward to your vlogs. Do hope we all meet up when we’re on the canals next year. Really can’t wait to do the journeys you’ve done. Take care

[@NarrowboatWill]

I'm looking forward to seeing you on the cut Caroline.

[@jimbob356]

You make me laugh with the voice overs, really original vlog, just brilliant.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thankyou Jim. Glad you enjoy it.

[@tonycarter3756]

Those pipes over the canal can be water ,gas,sewage.You are obviously a better Entamolagist than a botanist although l always enjoyed your rough stab at the plant names .And as for the weather not being favourable,l remember one of my 80 year old clients saying -always remember Mother Nature is a b......d 😱

[@NarrowboatWill]

Interesting pipe set up. I said I wouldn't bother with plant names then throw some in to annoy gardeners. Ha ha That 80 year old was right Tony because right now I'm stuck on a shallow river bed with miles of reversing tomorrow. What a pain..Cheers

[@chriselson7413]

Those pipes carried "Burgy", a waste product from making glass at pilkington glass over to deposit on the other side forming those small hills. Long since stopped, I think!

[@philhonour1333]

Hi Will Just watched your blog on engine mounts, very very useful Keep up the good work and when are you down on the Nene We can have a couple of Speckled Hens Phil

[@NarrowboatWill]

I'm near the Nene. Just been caught out in Brandon. To shallow right at the bloody end. I had to pole my boat back miles to turn. Just sat down from that mess. If you see me give me a shout and we'll have a cuppa. Not sure when. It might be a month yet. Still got Bedford and Cambridge etc. Cheers

A up will, old lad, the gear box, is it a variable speed box that works on oil pressure, check belt and oil level . By the way if the little man on ya tiller arm miss behaves cover him over like you would a budgie. That little bag that you put ya glasses in, good laugh on one of ya vlogs. Kind regards, old coalminer Johny.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Hello John. He's got some mouth that tiller man. Ha ha My gearbox is a prm 120d I've checked and changed the oil recently and I'm always checking my belts because of the trouble I've had with my alternator mounts. Another comment said his does the same on the same engine. I don't thrash it often anyway. Just to clear the bores. Have a great day.

@@NarrowboatWill I’m not there 😂😂

[@NarrowboatWill]

Oh you will be..You will be. Star wars.

[@hobbshire9373]

You aways crack me up. Great vlog. Maybe the rattle is a screwdriver or nut that was left behind? 😁 BTW, you ever forget where Mr. Van is parked? 🥺

[@NarrowboatWill]

Yeah it could be something rattling around somewhere. I have lost track of where my van was a few times. I usually ping it on Google maps. Cheers buddy

[@andyaldrich5884]

Sounds like gearbox out put shaft bearing, mite be prop shaft out of alignment

[@NarrowboatWill]

Yeah it's a weird sound but perfectly fine until I thrash it. It's hard to find because I can't recreate it when I'm moored up. Cheers Andy.

[@mikeaustin6561]

Check your uv joint on the prop shaft

[@NarrowboatWill]

I haven't got a UV joint but I know what you mean. Thanks

[@barrieking5939]

Thanks again Will. Another enjoyable journey. Could that weed be 'Duck Weed'? Can I ask, what is the M.C. After some of the names of subscribers? Pardon my ignorance. Barrie.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Hello Barrie. MC mean multiple coffee's. Could be duck weed I guess. Thanks again for coming along with me.

[@johnburton2534]

Hi will its not big ends cos thats a horrible banging noise. More like a heat shield vibrating or summut similer. I hope its not a job.

[@johnburton2534]

Big.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Yeah it could be. I've revved the engine full revvs out of gear and it's ok. Got to be clutch or something. I haven't bothered since because it's only full revvs. Fingers crossed nothing blows up. Ha ha

[@grahambulled7702]

fan belt or alternator belt possibly

[@NarrowboatWill]

No I've checked all that. It's only on full revvs. it's so hard to find Graham.

[@oliverwatkins2324]

Yo man how are you I helped you last time you was in thorne I'm Oliver that boat was sunk due to high winds causing a mini twister cased lots of damage to houses in thorne

[@NarrowboatWill]

Hello Oliver. I missed you this time. The marina told me it sank because they removed the bilge pump. Ha ha crazy. Sorry I missed you this time.

[@oliverwatkins2324]

@@NarrowboatWill in our local paper it said it was a mini twister which sunk it you know what papers are like lol I've just applied for an apprenticeship with canal and river trust if I get it ill be based at kirk bramwith where you travelled past but it'll be from there down to Keadby so I'll hopefully see you next time you come down this way did you find out what the issue was with your boat engine

[@1258-Eckhart]

Rob hasn't yet posted his version of the Pocklington. Hope he's ok.

Oh right. He's been up there it's on Pocklington society Facebook. I'm in a similar spot now. I have to reverse for miles. Not good. Cheers for watching.

hello mate how are you coping in this drought have you been restricted moving about? lets hope it rains soon again. where i am down south parts of the canal (the basingstoke) has completly dried up its all very sad lots of fish and wildlife dying

[@NarrowboatWill]

I'm stuck on a shallow river and i've got to reverse back miles tomorrow. I think poor water management plays a big part. We get so much rain in this country. Thanks Dougie.

[@stephenbrentnall]

Sounds like something vibrating ??

[@NarrowboatWill]

It does but I can't find anything Stephen. I haven't fixed it because it's only on full revvs and I don't hit full revvs often. Let's see how it goes. Cheers

[@peterchapman3740]

Can i ask why you have the van

I've had the van for 17 years and I use it all the time. After along day cruising I'm not cycling 4 miles to the shops. Ha ha Cheers Peter.
