Travels by Narrowboat - Lancaster Canal - Back To Basics - S07E10

[@Seccsee]

I find your videos so relaxing, you are the Bob Ross of the cut!

[@ben8mag]

I have to agree. His HD Quality is the best. Right down to the bird poop. Ha!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thanks for the reminder Ben. Must get and clean that off. 😁

[@ben8mag]

@@CountryHouseGent I wouldn’t change it for the world. It comes with the territory. Lol!

[@martinlauer7837]

Yes he is! Instead of happy little trees he’s got happy little ducks and the engine sound is very meditative!🦆😃

[@kentjwolfe]

This video's been up for about 3 hours and all ready over 3500 views. We've been missing our Aslan. Thank you for making my day!

[@CountryHouseGent]

A pleasure. Cheers,

[@pfallen8067]

What is that beautiful chugging sound? Oh wait! It’s Aslan and Kevin back on the tour! Great to see the smiles!

[@MatthewThomasFunk]

Your narrowboat videos are the best of the bunch. Great observational humor, relaxed, and visually appealing. Thank you

[@catpurrson3651]

One of the reasons I like your videos is not having to listen to inane, irritating music. The bird song and the rhythmic chugging of Aslan's engine are just perfect. Glad to see you're free again.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you Connie. Yes I feel the same about background music.

[@jamescook8897]

Just enjoy it buddy take in as much as you can obsorb all the therapeutics and calmness off it all and take your time👍

[@chiefvince4689]

My boats go boom boom too, love what your doing. Keep moving on!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Cheers for that. Keep chugging. ☺

[@wesleyhead3408]

Great drone footage pf the aquaduct!!! Crystal clear!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thanks Wesley

[@mwolfer1]

Ahhhhhh! Regular service has been restored. Happy cruisin'!

[@viktoriaelisabethrotenbour8285]

Loved to hear Aslan chugging along again.

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Love the opening song that goes with Her too.

[@rocketrose2165]

@@Yorkshiremadmick Yes! Boom Boom Boom could be a hit. That little intro sounds a bit like 'If I Needed Someone.'

[@CountryHouseGent]

@Rocket Rose Yes it does but actually the intro part of the tune is a thinly veiled homage to She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult. ☺

[@rocketrose2165]

@@CountryHouseGent Keeps me alive

[@teds3242]

I very much like your adding drone shots to your videos...specifically at the aqueduct. It adds a nice texture to the story.

[@sandywatson6520]

Aslan and you are refreshing to watch. Simple pleasures you n your boat are!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you Sandy

[@lindahernandez9938]

I think living along a canal would be great. Sit in your back yard and watch narrow boats go by. What a life.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Yes I would love to live next to a canal with a garden leading to it (if I didn't already live on the canal that is).

[@LarrySams71]

allow me to add mine to the chorus of voices expressing the joy of reunion, at again hearing the long-absent pulse of Aslan's diesel cycling...what a pleasant and calming sound!!! here's hoping for many more days of you and your sturdy vessel exploring the canal system without interruption...

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you Larry

[@kathyshepp4752]

Glad you're back at it. Greetings from Lancaster County Pennsylvania.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Ha yes Kathy, greetings from Lancaster, to Lancaster. ☺

[@2Amendment]

Love the sound of the engine chugging

[@daleguenther5826]

Thank you Kevin for taking us along on your travels! So relaxing and beautiful country side!

[@friendly_B]

"Very relaxing indeed," agreed. Thanks again for sharing sir!

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

A fair few donkeys being watered out side that student accommodation Public Watering Hole. Loved this Thanks 🙏🏻 for YouTubing it. Strength & Honour 👍🏻

[@stevesrepairs5778]

Thanks Kevin for a lovely cruise with the background tune of Aslan. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@JH-si9oe]

Thanks for taking us alone for the ride. Looking forward to the next time.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you John

[@johnwalker6736]

You are one of the bast canal vlogers,Kevin.........good photography,with spontaneous,interesting commentary...........more please.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you John. The Lancaster continues, soon. ☺

[@ianmckenzie5303]

Ah... Thank you for bringing a little bit of normal back into our lives

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Can you believe this eighty-year-old soon-to-be 81 lady happened to catch one of your videos. I was so intrigued that I went back to the beginning to see how you got started doing this and have slowly been trying to catch up. I'm not very interested in the mechanics but the scenery is amazing. I especially remember seeing the swan in the little babies with her. I find this so interesting thank you for doing this

[@Michael_Scott_Howard]

The best part of this channel is the quality of the video and not too much talking --just enough so we can tag along for the ride. I have looked at other Narrowboat youtubers and they frankly talk too much. CHG: keeps calm so we can all enjoy.. Well done as always..

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you Michael. Agreed, I've never been a huge fan of music in any travel films or documentaries - I think there's enough natural 'music' going on already in the areas being explored.

[@ianofsjkartwork]

Great to see you cruising again Kevin..........you picked a lovely day too........stay safe.........thanks for sharing

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thanks Ian. Yes was quite fortunate with the weather. A few days later was torrential rain

[@RainbowPhotoTours]

Welcome home, to the one who started it all for me. 👍❤️

[@carolynmccammon4544]

Watching your videos calms my mind.

[@miloroberts5883]

Beautiful, nice to see our wonderful England waterway:‐) Xx

[@nitkalta]

Glad to see you moving again. Fair winds and following seas to you.

[@susanmarker2164]

OH SWEET! loving hearing Aslan once again..welcome back to the cut..and us of course! 😊

[@grob25]

Perfect way to spend a half hour with a cup of Builders tea. Cheers mate.

[@CountryHouseGent]

You're welcome Norris

[@johnemagnet667]

I grew up in Lancaster, and still visit family there when I can. Really appreciate your affection for the area - your vlogs have made me quite homesick! Spent a lot of my youth walking and cycling along the length of canal between Glasson Dock and Hest Bank and sunk many a pint at the Water Witch. I equally appreciate your understandably hushed views on the 'Rona' and 'totalitarian tip-toe' we are experiencing with which I fully concur. Keep up the fine work Good Sir!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Hi John. Yes I've always had an affinity for the area, having lived in Cumbria for many years. Look out for a future video travelling along the Glasson Branch and fingers crossed for the 'other' stuff. Cheers ☺

[@fredg5390]

So glad to see you ack on the water and traveling. Can't wait to see more of your adventures along the canals, Washington, USA

[@davidbutler4363]

Excellent vlog,well done thanks 😁👍👏👏👏

Really great to see you back in the saddle.

[@Whitty-zs5yl]

[@davidstephenson8699]

Kevin, bring at the top end of the Lankie, I’ve found you being in Garstang so reassuring close during lock down . Almost a friend … don’t underestimate what your Vlogs mean to us all in your community. Lock on!

[@janej6253]

Aslan puts me In my bliss! Love traveling with her! Boom, boom, boom!

[@charlesebyjr2925]

Oh that was just perfect 👍 thanks Charlie from Pennsylvania’s

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you Charlie. Always good to hear you enjoyed watching. Hope you're well.

[@billywayne9039]

Nice aerials. Much appreciated. Well done!

[@sa9861]

Great filming Mr Green Man 🐲 your glee shows! Thoroughly enjoyed the Lancaster scenes, and the quiet, steady tick of Aslan thru the countryside. The travelling map was v. useful ~ Hey, great Shoes 👞👞!!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Cheers. Yes those boots aren't quite worn in yet. Like 2 solid blocks of wood. 😁

[@Texasepies]

I enjoy your style of storytelling in your blog. Wish I could be on the canal listening to the Chug of the engine.

[@souffle53]

Love having you posting again. Glad you missed it and still enjoy it yourself.

[@ndsailor]

Thanks for the trip, Kevin. I’m happy to ride along virtually during the excursions for all the reasons you gave.

[@brodie2711]

Glorious ride along, I did enjoy that. Nice to see you back cruising. All the best Kevin, take care. Stephen

[@NK-iv1ik]

So glad to be back to Lancaster canal with you and Aslan! The views of the see and Lake District are priceless, especially knowing what a long waiting it has been for you. Happy for you and grateful you let me join you! PS The filming of Lune Aqueduct is brilliant! Outstanding place indeed.

[@lesliesimpers465]

We’re all slowly returning ☺️ Thanks for the ride, Kevin!

Since discovering your videos several weeks ago I have done nothing but watch them every day. Talk about escapism at its best!!! From the gentle chug-chug of Aslan to your wonderful cooking segments (and yes I've tried a couple of them), I just can't get enough. Thank you for sharing your wonderful canal world all the way to Indiana, US.

[@richardfoote4518]

Glad you are back to cruising. I enjoyed your video.

They should give you the Keys to the City you've been on that canal so long :) Lovely to hear Aslan and see all the lovely views mixed in with the modern day bustle :)

Superb! Thank you Kevin.

[@TomBow606]

Found your show on Prime video, started watching and absolutely love it! I never knew about the canals in Great Britain until watching. It looks so relaxing and fun. Such beautiful scenery! Cheers from Missouri! Keep doing what you are doing, I’m sure many of us wish we were there doing the same.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Welcome aboard Thomas and great to hear you are enjoying the series. It's certainly a unique and relatively unknown lifestyle, even in the UK.

At first, winter in England brought me down. I'm here in South Carolina at the end of spring and everything is plush green. But I loved your venture into the cathedral of St. Margaret, as I always enjoy your ventures. Good hope
