My father and I were part of the initial cruise from tarlton into Preston docks (pre all the development works) to make the case for the ribble link. The docks were derelict and access limited. But we did it, and the result was this link. Very proud of my father and the team of people that worked to make this happen.

Hello from the USA! I found you on Amazon and binged all 5 seasons. So I thought I would come to KZbin to see what I could find. You probably get tired of hearing "I just love your videos!!" But I do love them! I'm fascinated with the whole canal system there and the canal way of life. Thank you so much for taking us on a journey we would not otherwise be able to make. Safe travels Kevin!

(i bet that made no sense?! lol)

That looks a nice part of the world... without wanting to tell you how to do things but the Gentleman doing the towing would have made it a lot more easier for you both if he’d set a bridle up from both Sampson post on each quarter of his boat and making the tow gear longer when out in open water! Close quarter manoeuvring then shorten the tow up but any length of time make it longer and you’ll both have more control..

I used to sail dinghies on the River Lune out of Glasson Dock, 1 river up from the Ribble, and the river currents plus the tidal currents make it all very tricky. Add to that the fact that the route is not navigable at low water so you have time constraints unless you want to sit on a mudbank. Right side up if you're lucky, having been swept downstream because when the tide is running it's likely to be over 6 knots! Makes it a serious trip quite hazardous and well done.

Until very recently I had a business in Barton and lived in Garstang. Its a lovely market town and I'm sure you will get to sample the Tithe Barn for some great food. Good on Mrs CHG for helping you out, the transformation in your appearance from when you set off two years ago is unbelievable!

Just catching up with the vlog Kevin, highly entertaining and very enjoyable. Your ex wife is clearly a very remarkable lady, helping you out in the way that she has....I really hope that there may be scope for the two of you to share a life together....🍷🍷

For some reason the lyrics from this Bob Welch song popped into my head while watching this episode: “Sentimental gentle wind Blowing through my life again Sentimental lady, gentle one . . . “ Cheers Kevin, thanks for the videos and I hope you are well.

Another great video sir looks like some fairly nerve racking moments for sure. It is great that you and your ex are still friends enough for her to come help you like she has.

Yes I think it's better long term if both parties can remain on friendly terms. Nowt worse than bad feelings.

Well done, Kevin and crewmate! I held my breath when that cruiser came at you like a bat out of he11. And TWICE, the idiot. I'd have had a few not so lady like words to say to that pilot. Your team and the tow boat fellows were fantastic! I'll say though, that I found the Tidal Trent crossing to be terrifyingly exhilarating. Keep 'em coming, they are my form of cardio fitness. lol, sadly true. Health and happiness to you.

Good grief. I’m not surprised you swore! That was scary. Thank goodness you arrived safe and sound. When I saw the wash I thought about the people who cross, or try to cross, the English Channel, they must be crazy. Thanks for taking the time to film the journey when there were clearly other challenges to concentrate on. I really enjoyed it.

we enjoyed your presentation of this n/b journey , there were lots to see . we agree with you ,that it was discourteous of that large cruiser to cause a large wake ,it was inconsiderate and dangerous.the lemon cake looked delicious we have eaten them and can attest to their tastiness . thank you for sending this video for our enjoyment , it must of taken a lot of time and effort . the satellite imagery makes for a wonderful perspective n/b jono uses that technlogy . our regards and cheers : )
