The most secluded, beautiful and impossible canal I've ever been on

[@simonbell6745]

The tractor going over that bridge then the swans in the mist. Absolutely beautiful Robbie. 😊

[@grayfreeman]

Despite the weed and the effort, I found that really relaxing.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I had such a hard time on that canal. Fair play to us solo boaters for taking this canal on. cheers buddy

[@DeanPorterEsq]

Your editing in this video is brilliant, some of the shots you took is a feast on the eyes, when you moored up and had the scenery of the fields through the trees, the spider and the scenery from your boat was amazing. More of that please good sir.

[@RobbieCumming]

Thanks Dean very kind of you

[@DeanPorterEsq]

@@RobbieCumming dont mention it buddy, I know it's in you andbits not luck like you thought it was last time. I use yo work as a photographer in the past photographing famous people, so can always appreciate it when you pull these great shots off buddy. So keep it coming.

[@walterfoott5105]

yip it really is stunningly brilliant including the ghosting effects you`re audience loves You Robbie keep the good work up

[@portcullis5622]

It is a beautiful canal. Old canals like that do need some boat traffic, but it also has to be limited to protect the wildlife. The Pocklington Canal is wonderful for wildlife and supports many species that are scarce in the surrounding countryside. Nice video.

[@looneyirish007]

I never get bored of your channel rob, the music, visuals and you, is the whole trifecta.

[@matthewwright9259]

What a gorgeous vlog. The mist on the cut and the swans swimming by is sublime. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. The Pock is definitely on my list of 'to do's'

[@susantaylor927]

All those Water Lilies. Fabulous to see but know that propeller can get so chocked! Even with all the boat hic cups...... Every turn is a beautiful picture and those pictures tell a thousand stories! Thanks! Love it!

[@markholdsworth3486]

Lovely film. Thank you.

[@patriciagassor4497]

Some amazing photography there well done, but that weed and just loved the swan family

[@grayfreeman]

Some beautiful images, Robbie, such as the swans and cygnets emerging through the mist! The scenery is stunning.

[@christinegibbins6105]

Thanks Robbie, that was a delight, the red Massey Ferguson 135 tractor crossing the bridge, so cute, love 135s. Take care.

[@stephengraham5099]

A magical shot of the swans.

[@kerriesowka6666]

That was just what we needed , looking forward to Part 2 🥳

[@joerg-michajahn4963]

Most beautiful countryside and canal. I was watching while sitting outside my house in an equally gorgeous weather (and similarly hot). Lots of weeds, yes, but I enjoy canals where the water is so clear you can see deep down. Glass half full, I'd say. Cheers!

[@stuartwilsdon9683]

Thank you so much for sharing this journey and the beautiful scenery. It’s so well edited and some of your camera work is truly outstanding. I lived just a stone’s throw form this canal as a child and still have a deep love for the area. Makes me want to follow in your footsteps. 🙏

[@sup4112]

A beautifully crafted visual feast. It was a pleasure to watch this piece of your work. I look forward to viewing part 2.

[@davidhall4079]

How clear the water is and the fish what a lovely place no one to bother you ideal love the vlogs man xx

[@mattkirk2482]

This is a brilliant channel. Didn't know where to go after 'mooring the cut', but this feels like home. . Love the secluded canals. More more more

[@rickymitchell8862]

I feel the same way.

[@lesleyburton9999]

Loved the aerial and under water opening shots and the family of swans and tranquility. Thank you for taking me there.

[@bdh3949]

Wow, a country canal all to yourself, quiet observations in nature, nice landings and mooring AND a Pub of the Week with eats!!! Looks like Nirvana to me Robbie. Bring on part 2.

[@robinbanks183]

Another fantastic video Robbie really enjoyed it. All the best mate

[@Bicyclehub]

Brilliant vlog Robbie, beautifully captured and edited. I liked the guitar scene; nice to see you playing.

[@vintagevic4593]

It’s like navigating down some Amazonian tributary. Heart of crankin’ darkness 😅

[@albert2395]

I really liked the sort of faded, ghostly figure that you had on one of the locks! Kind of reminding me of the age of the canals. A super touch!!!❤😊 You should do it more often.

[@typhoon2827]

I canoed this a long time ago; a hidden treasure. 👏🏻

[@keithbagshaw3146]

I live in "Melbourne" Australia, born near a canal in Wednesbury Black Country, ......I wish we had canals here! good stuff Robbie!

[@typhoon2827]

Keith, there's actually a cricket club in Melbourne (there was at least when I live over that way, hope it is still in existence); obviously, to me it's the MCG.

[@MrFrampo56]

That’s amazing. I live in “Leeds” , one of only 2 cities in the world that includes quotation marks in its name , apparently.

[@JoanAldis-fm5th]

Robbie must tell you how you keep my sanity, love all videos on here. Sorry at 76 cannot afford at the moment t to be a cranky for you, but you are appreciated. Good luck to you.

[@wendyflanagan5738]

I love the peace and beauty of that canal. Great solitude and plenty of blessings there to enjoy. Thankful for your share Robbie.

[@N330AA]

Like the drone work. This officially makes your narrowboat an aircraft carrier.

[@RobbieCumming]

Ha ha love it yesss maybe it does!!

[@terrierman66]

Love your videos Robbie. My wife and I walked the full length of the Pocklington Canal two weeks ago and were on the look out for “The Naughty Lass” but didn’t see her. It’s a beautiful canal, very wild and tranquil but unnavigable at Bielby, towards Canal Head near Pocklington.

[@tramacmeg8103]

13:25 Simply Stunning!

[@bobgarner1402]

Absolutely beautiful that Robbie! Tranquility, peaceful it was lovely to see the canal so full of life! All is not lost... 😊

[@dreamweaver4886]

Thank you Robbie.

[@wayneallen3035]

Robbie’s vlogs are awesome, I love the mix of his music, the scenery and being part of the adventure! It’s where I go to de-stress! Keep up the amazing work 🤘🏻

[@mikes7878]

As others have said - great bit of filming - the flotilla of swans gliding along out of the mist - so peaceful.

[@seanduncan8927]

Fave bits - the passing swans and the acoustic guitar choon. 👍

[@peterdownie4789]

Whilst living in Leeds in the mid eighties I cycled out to here and walked/cycled along the canal bank from the Derwent to Pocklington. I remember the crystal clear water and total peace and quiet.Magic.

[@alannorman1773]

Brilliant vlog Robbie. Absolutely lovely. Thanks

[@naturalflow157]

My dear friend, this is exactly what I needed. This just calms my mind so quickly and without any of those struggles I have had in the past few weeks. Your videos have been very helpful and truly inspiring to make something out of life. Thank you so much for your creativity and inspiration. Wishing you the best :)

[@soundhobo]

What a beautiful canal and countryside. It’s a tad hard work and slow going but worth it for the scenery 👍

[@АндрейЗайцев-х8б]

Хорошие красивые места. Удачи вам .

[@tashaimpressions]

Always appreciate your canal journeys.

[@martincranage2998]

One word: superb

[@Steve9357]

Always enjoy your vlogs. very well done! My favorite parts are the scenery an your commentary. Robbie you really do sell yourself short. your a wonderful host an i look forward to watching . be safe now an have fun!

[@theangijt]

Fab photography, loved the underwater and sunset shots. Enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing x x

[@barrieking5939]

I've now been on that canal twice. First time with Narrowboat Will and now you. And I must say, the weed looked worse this time. Using your pole made it look even more like "African Queen". Nothing, not even a free boat at the end could induce me to navigate that canal. Another great video, thanks Robbie, take care Skipper.

[@skookumjack]

Brilliant one Robbie! I don't know if it's just me, but your films have really stepped up a level. I lot of bloody hard hours have obviously gone into it mate, very well done 👏

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you so much i am trying!

[@Hyfun7]

Stunning, best thus far Robbie.. Love the serenity!

[@dreamofstorms]

Just a fanastic film, thank you so much.

[@taxiservices5373]

Just seen you go past Nags head island 😮😊 🫡 thanks for the wave 👋

[@staceywynn5884]

Brilliant video love seeing all the different places you have been as a boater myself I take my hat off to you doing it single handed you make it look easy lol loving canal boat diaries watching for the 2nd time. 😀😀

[@royfearn4345]

Idyllic waterway. So crystal clear. But it must be like boating through vegetable soup!

[@davek8919]

Awesome as usual Robbie!

[@seancarr7483]

Always nice to catch up with some of your boating

[@1258-Eckhart]

Thanks for all the hard work needed to make this vlog 👍

[@mikesmith-yj3ih]

i LOVED IT, once you you got going those darned weeds thanks

[@clive6267]

Those underwater shots are really nice. New subscriber. New Zealand. Cheers.

[@RobbieCumming]

Welcome Clive - do you know what I misread that as underwear and thought oh christ what have I done!!!

[@clive6267]

Ha ha ha ha ha. I know THAT feeling Bro. Yes indeed !

[@carole5951]

Absolutely loving your journey, amazing photography, the whole package. 🐞

[@marionjohansson4235]

Oh my goodness, lovely for some to look at it, but hell for your propeller!

[@jcderby129]

So Melbourne….also the name of the village I live in, but in Derbyshire. I did happen across the Yorkshire one when going to see a friend in York and thought I’d have a look. Lovely part of the world… the cut looks lovely.

[@timbrown4834]

Keep playi ng love your guitar

[@rosemaryhilton2029]

Hi Robbie, I text you in August, I was renting a 35ft n/b on lancaster canal, it was great apart from it wasn't mine. Had a few mishaps haha nothing serious. Anyway I'm currently on the hunt for my boat, nervous but excited all the same. The lancaster canal by the way is near Lancaster, it starts in Preston as I believe some mush decided to close it off from running through town, of which I'm not part of being a cumbrian lass, but yeah it runs from preston to yeah lancaster but I think up to kendal but not sure on that point. It's only a 41 mile job so there you go. I think il start off on leeds/Liverpool n see what happens haha. Take it easy n happy weekend x

[@ericfoster3636]

Enjoyed the journey with you. Those weeds didn't look like fun but I agree it's beautiful scenery. Cheers

[@Santafefrank]

Thanks Robbie

[@thecockneykayaker2239]

Hi Robbie loved the video. I actually had a paddle on the Pock-Canal yesterday and not a bit of weed although granted, it is January. We dropped in at Hagg Bridge and I have to say that of all the canals I have paddled on this one takes some beating. I will be going back but after watching this video, not during the warmer months. All the best pal 😂😂

[@ubatubaable]

Majestic Robbie, master craftsman.

[@colingarner6175]

Fabulous ❤️

[@jayjaycollins]

Lovely scenery. Awesome pub. Well done for another great video. Keep it up please

[@Life_Of_AL]

Looks so peaceful there. Has vibes of the Chesterfield too what with all the weeds, shallow depths and the tranquility. That swan family sequence was just lovely

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

That tree that smacked you scared me . Lol. What a trip.

[@polycera8570]

That scenery was breathtaking. Worth the occasional visit to the weed hatch.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Great vlog, so tranquil on remote parts of county side.

[@Red-ns9ny]

Thank you ❤

[@RetroRatz]

A trooper! Determination you have in bag loads! Inspiring you are! Excellent video, thanks for taking us along!

[@wilfamos7314]

Thank you so much for another fantastic video Robbie. Such a pleasure to watch in these very stressful times. You Sir, are a legend. 🙂 Love the drone footage, nice. Awesome underwater footage.....fish and everything! We need more of this for sure.

[@themetalgardener4960]

Great Vlog! Loved every minute of it from your little bursts of wierdness (let that flag fly!!!) to the scenic shots to bits of music. The pub looked great and loved your little hints and tips stuff too. I like all your vlogs but this encapsulated so well all the things I absolutely love about watching them. Cheers!

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you!!

[@jamesstewart3317]

Hi Robbie,great video, sitting here in Glasgow,glass of whisky in hand, totally chilled with your latest trip, How lucky are you big man.!

[@DerekFox86]

Enjoyed this one Robbie - a bit different from the usual canal vlogs - keep it up

[@michelle-louisehoward8831]

Been following you for a few weeks in preparation for our three week narrow boat canal journey . We are comb from Western Australia

[@hobbshire9373]

Excellant vlog as usual. You did good on that challenging water. I could have done with out the spider tho! 😆 Thanks Robbie.

[@hazellucock4102]

Aww thanks for the mention Robbie, proud to be part of the Crank it crew 😎 xx

[@walterfoott5105]

Thanking You Robbie i Loved the camera work and the way you capture the scenery, You deserve first prize for portraying English narrow boat canals 👍 and pub of the week 10.5 out of 10 🙂😜

[@RobbieCumming]

I’ve never had first prize before thank you!!!

[@geoffwst100]

Robbie great to see you in East Yorkshire - Gods country the shot of the sunrise was truly stunning alongside one the most beautiful and sadly underused canal

[@lesbrewer8431]

Good to meet you this weekend in Selby. Thanks again for your vlogs and best of luck with your next adventures. Cheers Les and Anne on Glendyne

[@RobbieCumming]

Thank you nice to meet you too!

[@MessengerRising]

That haunting little melody you played reminds me of a song called 1865 by Travis Napier. You both play from the heart ✌🏻 🍀 🙂

[@RobbieCumming]

Wow thank you

[@darkstarr2321]

Great video, loved the early morning shot of the swans :)

[@peterwalker6020]

I didn't know that you have a KZbin channel. I don't do Facebook etc but I do find KZbin very informative. You now have a new subscriber. Next time you are around the Thorne to keadby, let me know ill come for a natter.

[@louisajones3535]

I’ve loved that…thank you!

[@clairereid6974]

Beautiful, loved the gorgeous photography, at times i was transported to pre-Raph period, it had gotten all ‘Lady of Shallot’! Another epic vlog, thanks Robbie! ❤️🐚

[@kevinknowles3365]

You video some wonderful views and wildlife.

[@billygraham5971]

Always Brilliant Videos..........

[@jenniferhowells6510]

[@carolynabramo7108]

Such a relaxing vlog, Robbie. Thank you for sharing. Stay well.

[@andynightingale7335]

Aw that was great Robbie. Gotta love a pub in the middle of nowhere when its rockin'! (Surprised you didn't grab your guitar and join in!)

[@thoughtsonfitness3249]

I just had a ‘dog blanket’ and bin liner about my prop on the Ashby, August bank holiday! The weed hatch off away we go ….. 2 hours later …💪🏻

[@kaylongden38]

Amazing video Robbie I really enjoyed it . What a beautiful canal but the weed!!! We thought the Witham was bad !!

[@davidmiller6728]

I find your films very relaxing.

[@cherylwevill4355]

That's such a beautiful canal Robbie. Shame about the weeds. The water looks so clear. Not like that on the Shroppie!
