Travels by Narrowboat - "The Terminator" S09E12

[@camdenmcandrews]

Thank you, Kevin! I certainly enjoyed that trip to the terminus of the Ashby Canal! Three cheers for the folks who are restoring the canal! Hip, hip...

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Hooray

[@thomasattwell-dl5if]

Have a good break… but come back soon. You are ESSENTIAL.

[@marionjohansson4235]

Ha we had sausage stew! Yummy! Enjoy

[@valtillman7634]

Don’t leave for too long! The great feeling of your posts is hard to be without. Come back soon please.

[@helenel4126]

Well done, you! Thanks for taking us vicariously (virtually?) along your canal journeys.

[@annmarteau9938]

You provide so much entertainment for myself and my parents. Now we dream of navigating the canals as well. Now I just have to get my husband on board. Thanks!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Oh you are so very kind and generous Ann, and always great to hear how much the videos are enjoyed. Cheers,

[@trevorspottiswood985]

I miss the canals very much. Your travel videos give me a lot of pleasure. Thank you.

[@chris030664]

Pie tokens are the very least I could do, you keep me sane my friend you really do

[@geoffmccord4880]

Great watching as always enjoy your break,see you soon

[@fookdatchit]

Thank you Kevin, the last 12 weeks have been a joy.

[@SteveMikre44]

Thank you Kevin for all your hard work in creating season nine. I greatly enjoyed watching every minute...🇬🇧

[@CountryHouseGent]

You're very welcome Steve and many thanks for your contribution. Fabulous, thank you. 🙂

[@mitchkahle314]

CountryHouseGent's videos are the best, in my opinion, because Kevin keeps everything real and does not include annoying background music. The natural sound and his spontaneous narration are the charm.

[@martinjames9250]

Until next time old chap! Take care. 🙂

[@CountryHouseGent]

Cheers and best wishes as always Martin.

[@ksweet696]

Glad you had Chewbacca on board as your first mate when you got stuck. It was touch and go there for a sec.

[@brendahamilton6316]

Thanks! 🎉 We very much appreciate you!

[@CountryHouseGent]

Fantastic Brenda, that's very kind of you. Thank you and cheers for your support and for watching. :)

[@denisscott3073]

Hi Kevin 👋 just us 2 saying hi and thanks for sharing these video with all of us watching your lifestyle 👋 den and sue 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌

[@souffle53]

That wind was outrageous! Thanks, Kevin - I will miss you but enjoy your time off.

[@baronblimey]

Nice one. Always a pleasure.......

[@2gray2care]

A big thanks to you and Aslan! Have a wonderful break, and enjoy the lovely Spring weather! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. “Cheers, for now.” Well done, Kevin.

[@thefitzs]

I can say in all sincerity that you will be missed! Until next season Kevin, thank you, cheers, and may God bless you.

Thank you I always appreciate your videos

Accy Stanley 7 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!

[@templar1694]

Solar energy has changed nomadic lifestyle like this. Narroboating, sailing, van life and even camping. You have convenience on the go.

[@Mainstayjay]

Thank you for allowing us to ride along on your Narrowboat journey!

[@CountryHouseGent]

You're very welcome and many thanks for that. Cheers 😊

[@williambell8282]

'Bobbing up and Down' lol. I was bobbing up and down in a 4 metre swell off the West Coast of Scotland

[@abyssiniahenry128]

Thank you.

[@legacystudentschannel]

That wind is reminding me of my journey to get Oban blacked during storm Brian. 😮😂

[@Setinmywaysalways]

That Wind reminded me of taking a 40-foot truck down the A1 from Scotch Corner to Skegness many moons ago & putting 20 years onto my life :)

[@CountryHouseGent]

Heck, I'm familiar with that stretch of road Robert. Very exposed and on a bike as well, bowel clenchingly disconcerting. :)

[@lspringerjones]

Nice episode. Keep your nose into the wind!

[@johnburgess5534]

Hi Kevin. A tip………when pinned to a lee shore, take your boat pole with you to push you further off, enough to let you motor off before the wind blows you back on again!!! Best regards. Capt John

[@LarrySams71]

well done Kevin, another season wrapped...the Ashby is my favorite of the canals you've travelled, gorgeous even in the dead of winter -- one can only imagine how luxuriant and lush the vegetation appears in high summer...I must say that your technical skill in recording the sights has visibly improved with each installment...have a great break -- of course we all look forward to your next post!!

[@JaEDLanc]

I love your channel Kevin, I binged watched on Amazon about 4 years ago and even though this is my 11th year on the boat and you think that a single handed continuous cruiser would not want to watch another but I do and I love it! It’s had work because I’m so far out of touch with the world I never know what day it is, until Friday 😂😂😂 I used to know when it was a Sunday because of church bells but you don’t hear them anymore I’m not religious but at last it was a good way of letting folk know it was the end of a weekend 😂

[@ksweet696]

Sounds like a great life!

[@JaEDLanc]

@@ksweet696 it is and I wouldn’t change it even though it’s getting increasingly harder but I look at it like this, it’s getting harder everywhere.

[@rocknroth764]

NO CHURCH BELLS?!!! smh

[@mikebrown6805]

£20 winging its way to you Kevin, I just want today how much I've loved your video's Kevin, they're an absolute joy to watch...❤ Take care Michael & Jo x

[@CountryHouseGent]

Gratefully received Mike and Jo and thank you for your support throughout. A break now to recharge the 'batteries' and then full steam ahead for Season 10. 🙂

[@laurahaughton4523]

Thanks Kevin , another nice wee journey. Take care, see you next time, have a nice break 🌸

[@eileenburley8693]

Thank you so much. I enjoy you and Aslan so much. 😊

[@Nook747]

A very interesting video Kevin. thank you 😀

[@lloydferguson1918]

Hoping all is well Kevin. Missing your insight and humor. Cheers, Lloyd

[@CountryHouseGent]

Fabulous, thank you Lloyd, that's most appreciated. I'll be back soon. Cheers,

[@jules9303]

Brilliant video’s thank you 😊

[@concealedcarrycurmudgeon2818]

Sorry to see the end of season 9. I always look forward to Friday and the latest installment of the adventures of Kevin and Aslan. Thanks for another great season. Looking forward to season 10. Best wishes and stay safe.

[@mkredenbaugh6322]

Thank you Kevin! Your kindness in sharing your life is cherished by us all. Stay safe. Prayers for you our friend.😂

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

I felt for you in that wind….must have been frozen. All very beautiful though……I reckon the Ashby is particularly attractive. Glad to have seen it.

[@CountryHouseGent]

The wind definitely cut like a knife Rikki.

[@sarahdavies7851]

Really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.

[@MrTonyTuber]

Travels by Narrowboat always great. Thankyou Kevin 👍

[@Lynette21122431]

From your Chaka Khan bit, to the wind in the trees, on the canal waters, in the reeds, to your man boobs in the imaginary depths of the rest of the Ashby canal, this was quite an eventful end to your season. Thank you so much, Kevin.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Thank you for watching Lynette. Never a dull moment on the canals. :)

[@patrickjames1080]

Brilllllliant Kevin ! Such good medicine for the soul, thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍

[@tgcrowson]

Thanks, Kevin for another great episode. I’ve noticed with football results, the voice note should go down on the losing score and up (with a slightly surprised emphasis) for the losing score. Draws are read with a flat tone. I need to get out more.

[@CountryHouseGent]

I remember the voice of the football scores on Grandstand back in the 80's. He became very famous for it. 🙂

[@rickonnye2001]

Lovely video 😊thank you

[@charlesebyjr2925]

Kevin I was eating sausage gravy with buttermilk biscuits when I started watching this episode, haha 😂, glad for the trip through the Ashby, tata, Charlie from Pennsylvania.

[@waymathews1222]

Congratulations on another excellent journey Kevin (and Aslan).. Looking forward to season 10!!!

[@raytheron]

How wonderful to be able to travel with you and Aslan -- well, virtually, at least -- through the Ashby Canal. Loved every minute of it. And now I'm saddened that there will be no Kevin and Aslan for a while. Will miss you. All the best and all that makes you happy. Looking forward to your next adventure!

[@CountryHouseGent]

A pleasure to have you along for the journey Ray. Cheers,

[@johnwolfe610]

Thank you Kevin for allowing us viewers to be part of your adventures🎉

[@kcsteeler]

There is a place on the Ashby Canal They call The Rising Son....😀

[@garethvaughan426]

Thanks Kevin, another great season, although I think you should have called this episode 'Bad Wind' lol, oooo I also love ReggaeReggae sauce mmmmmm. Cheers 🍻

[@Handyman70]

Thank you and aslan for the trip this season, cant wait for number ten have a good break see you next time.

[@Dannyshort1003]

Friday viewing sorted again. I visited Skipton earlier today and had a ride on a narrowboat. I remember when you visited there a while back Kevin. What a gorgeous place. And YES I did find that award winning Pork Pie shop.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Cool, sounds like fun Daniel. Skipton is a wonderful spot on the Leeds Liverpool. Very good to hear the pork pie shop is still going. Must get back there and try another one or three. Hope you found that they lived up to my hype? 🙂

[@lizmottram7902]

@@CountryHouseGent We too were in Skipton last week, We went to the WRONG PIE SHOP first before we found Stanforth's round the corner. Stanforth's had better meat but the WRONG PIE SHOP had better pastry. After that, we found a third "award winning" pie shop but we didn't try that because we were "all pied out." Then I happened upon Fran and Rich - no pie connection.

[@Dannyshort1003]

@@CountryHouseGent I got two pork pies Kev. I had one this morning. It was amazing. Hope to see more CHG videos soon. This last season has been excellent. Take care Kev.❤️

[@boequet]

Oh! I've been waiting for another tunnel and for another cooking segment! Well, it was another eating segment anyway. Loved all the historical markers you showed us. Thank you, Kevin.

[@Elizabeth-tb5oh]

There’s a first. I think I saw a white caps on a canal! Lol Great episode. Gorgeous countryside.

[@drumminwoman5646]

Well done! *flicks Bic lighter, waves it slowly up high, back and forth* Yes, please, to the sausage and beans and especially the bread and butter. The microphone Tribble is quite appealing. Per'aps give it a name? "...got blown to the side, and now I can't get off it..." There's ALWAYS something. Up to your what?! ... Oh... never mind... Good night, Kevin. See you next season!

[@d220219b]

Thanks Kev, another great series.

[@OldNickHindle]

Thanks Kevin, have a good break 😊

[@annjarvis9300]

Been grand Kevin dont be gone to long and tc the oldes 👍🤗

[@ben8mag]

Congratulations to another season. I hope you are warmer now. The Kentucky Derby is today. I hope you get to watch it 🐎

[@NarrowboatFirefly]

Actually the winding hole at the end is max 52ft, I turned ours at 50ft there, no problem! Glad you walked up there and followed the old line.

[@cheesypotatoluv]

love the harry and paul reference, they're hilarious 😂

The grayer I become, the more I appreciate a good Chaka Khan references.

[@northwind9505]

This is new to me. Never heard of a narrow boat. Really enjoying it.

[@angelabarnett774]

Great series, thank you.

[@Daytona2]

Interesting old sign. It used the regnal year to reference the specific legal act.

[@SondraTreasuretheMissus]

That was very enjoyable. It looks so nice back up in there and you can see on the map where Ilott Wharf used to be! What a neat hike on a sunny day :)

[@LONEWOLFHMS]

Well that went quickly. I was on the Ashby last week doing a bit of perch fishing on the lures .. had a lovely 1 pounder within minutes and thought i was in for a blinder .. until... suddenly.... all the fish decided to feed the ammassing ducks and geese with fish eggs ... oh bugger. At least i didn't have a dry net .. lovely canal. Hope to see you back soon Kevin. Stay safe, stay floating 👍👍👍

[@CountryHouseGent]

Those ducks do go a bit loopy when there's food about - especially caviar. 😁

[@Nidhoggrr]

I wish that in America we do on railways what you guys get to do on Canals.

[@crystaledelmann]

What a wonderful trip! Soon, at least when my youngest have grown past the diaper stage, we want to get over to England and rent a couple of hire boats for a holiday on the canals! There are so many places to see!

[@struanrobertson3417]

Perfectly paced video. Enjoy your break. 👍

[@polluxsimracing3712]

Ill be back😂 better be lol thanks!

[@James-In-Exile]

Thanks Kevin. Looking forward to the next adventure

[@Multipleimaging]

No 1 fan here Kev (not a stalker though 😄). Really gutted I didn’t get to say hello last Saturday (I won’t give away where I saw Aslan) but I got a picture along side her. Maybe our paths will cross one day soon. Enjoy your travels, safe journey & a huge thank you for your amazing vlogs.🍻

[@judyanthony5480]

Congratulations on finishing the Ashby! And a big thank you for taking us along for the ride. 😊 I sure hope to see you and Aslan again soon.

Thank you Kevin for sharing, we’ll miss you on Friday nights. Have a well earned break and hopefully see you soon. Susan and Gary 👍🔨📐😄

[@Balthazar1963]

Thank you Kevin for season 9. I enjoyed every minute of escape. Hope to see more in the future. Cheers from backwoods Mississippi.

[@MrVerno46]

Ashby is picturesque, but windy and wild on this cruise! Aslan was sailing sideways much of the time, however traffic was light thank goodness! Bet you managed some wind-burn? Nevertheless, another splendid adventure in the can...... The seasons seem to fly by to quickly! Cheers ⛵️⚓️❤ 81

[@DanMoult-m4j]

Another great series. Thanks & Take care. Cheers for now!

[@deacjansp2]

A very satisfying season wrap-up! And with some determination; I could see how the wind would grab the boat in a couple of senes. I find myself content until you reappear and wish you good times and Godspeed, Kevin!

[@melinayorke7462]

Congratulations on Season 9🎉 Thank you for the journey and good company.

[@msw00]

Very good canalmanship in such wind, and wonderful video of such beautiful English countryside. Have a splendid Coronation weekend and see you next time.

[@mesocosm]

Thanks for another great season! Cheers until next time.

[@quavernote4307]

Hi Kevin yes that's exactly my thoughts those trees as I was moored at the end in September 2021 and had a windy couple of days so all I could see in my mind was a row of fallen trees so I quickly got out as it's a place you could be stuck for a few weeks while the CRT decide to get it cleared I have just had the same thought today on the K&A going through the Bruce Tunnel anyway great to see you're trip on the Ashby Canal 😊

[@kevinhickson1481]

From one Kevin to another, Thank you for the content.

[@ricklg745]

Hi Kevin Thanks for taking us along the beautiful Ashby Canal. Wonderful scenery interspersed with the excitement of cutting through thick ice, battling against the howling gale pinning you to the canal edge and finally negotiating that bendy tunnel. Great stuff! I also remember your kindness when helping the old gentleman who later sadly passed away. Looking forward to the next season. Regards. RickLG
