I did most of my canalling in the 70s. Started out hiring for three holidays, then Dad bought a 25 foot cruiser (for four of us!) which took us round the country until 1979 (! ). We then had a lovely 42 foot boat called Griffin which Mum and Dad used mostly until the mid 80s. Dad was meticulous about keeping our voyage logs up to date. It would be fun to retrace some of our journeys using our old logs. It would probably take a lot longer as there seem to be so many more boats around today and you are forever ticking over past miles of moored boats. Lovely to see you retracing your Mum and Dad's steps, Kath. Really enjoying this.

Another great vlog! I’m incredibly impressed at Annamarie mooring in such a tight space. I’m rubbish at parallel parking the car, and that’s easier than manoeuvring a narrowboat into a space just big enough! 👏🏻. Already looking forward to the next vlog! x

Now here's what ya need, a life size Dalek riding on the bow deck (I don't know the proper canal boat name) to intimidate the water wasters. Was initially thinking put it on forward end of cabin roof where it would really stand out and be intimidating but then remembered all the low bridge clearances.

You Mum And Dad didn't have the cat's with them🐱🐈. So big thumbs up for trying.. 👍🏻👍🏻. What a lovely time to attempt this 1979 series... ask your parents about the summer of 76 .. now that was a time of water shortage.. I was but a kid then... happy times..😁. Thanks for this trip down your memory lane. It's so much fun...😊💖🐶🐾ps "Tune in next time to see what our heroines get up to".. TBT old 70's type tv series commentary 📺👍🏻

Oh no! That makes me boat sick. Looking at the scenery makes me wish I was back on our boat. I’m really missing it. I was just wondering how long your boat is (our is 45 but my husband thinks 52 would be ideal) when you said there was just 52 foot to moor! Amazing. I’m enjoying this series but slightly worried but the B&W, it does give it a dated feel but everything was in colour by 1979. Unless you were like me, I moved into my first flat in 1980 and I had a tiny B&W portable TV! Those were the days 😁

The mooring you guys stopped in for lunch is a beautiful spot if a little busy but that windmill and the fields with the wind blowing the grasses was one of our favourite sights. I cant wait to head bk up country on the canals. Must be tiring putting in all those hours and floating work too....entirely selfishly keep em coming tho 😀 love these daily vlogs

The Folly was an ex-pub but used as a house, to my recollection. My mate, Butch (yes, that was his nickname) Haville, lived just down the road from there. Happy days as a youth riding my bike, just like the Famous Five. I see now why the emphasis on 1975. Birth year? But, that would make you ... no way.

I'm jealous: I didn't have a Tardis until 1983 (which was a 125 dinghy called "The Tardis" - one of only two boats I haven't renamed when I bought them). So ... Dr Alice must have regenerated some time after 1979 from her time as a blue hulled boat, then? Did she have a taste for fish fingers with custard as a kitten? Another great vlog, and magnificent scenery (and living) despite the drought (on that, I think it took people here about 3 years to really adjust to the Millennium Drought) - thank you. Also, as someone who has never skippered anything bigger than 36' (and that wasn't my boat anyway), I was impressed by the boat handling at around 9:50, as well as the mooring. And, given your need to keep working, I think you are doing very well with progress.

The Narrowboat Experience if there’s one thing I’ve learned about Dr.Who is its ability to challenge misconceptions and perceptions of what should and is with what can and will be. So I think it’ll still be very much the same Dr.Who but also very different indeed as each Dr. Always brings something new to the show once they’ve settled in to the role after a year or so. In short, bloody looking forward to it and can’t wait to see it myself 😀

Extract from Folly website: So far we found a Stephen Winkless in 1841, described as the Publican of the Napton Folly … we don't have a photograph. So Kath rather than time lords I think your parents were alien abducted before the Folly and then re boarded after the Folly so they never saw it.

Annamarie you gave your age away in this one. As far as the irresponsible lock uses you should video them and then report them. If the reserves run out everything hirer up ends up being stuck in the mud. You have had another heat wave this year so it is a problem that sensible boaters need to address to stop it. The cats did need a break the diary can wait. 👩‍🦳👩‍🦰😺😽
