We start our HOLIDAY by heading up 'The New Junction Canal'

It's Holiday time, 11 nights out on the boat.... A chance to relax and visit some new places on the inland waterways.
So the journey begins at the start of 'The New Junction Canal'.
There's lift bridges, swing bridges and even a lock with a swing bridge in the middle of it.
Peter drives the boat and Dawn cycles along the towpath to get the locks, swing bridges and lift bridges set.
So join us as we start our break on Lyanda Lady, the Winging It! Boating On A Budget narrowboat.
Here's a bit about us and our boats...
In August 2019 we bought narrowboat - a 1980s Springer that's 36ft long and had previously been sunk twice prior to us purchasing it! It's engine was rather poorly so we took it out and fitted a DIY self build Electric Drive system - which we recorded and made vlogs about (available to view on KZbin).
Move forward a year from buying that boat and we were loving life on the water so much we wanted a bigger boat so we could move aboard full time.
So we bought 'Lyanda Lady' a 50ft boat that needed a LOT of work. This series is following us stripping the boat right back to a basic shell. It will then be time to completely re build the boat before moving aboard.
Just to add to the fun I'm a Tight Yorkshireman, and we are working with a small budget - hence Boating On A Budget!
Come along and join us on what promises to be a epic adventure!

You Two (KZbinrs) are crack on, down to earth and excellent at explaining everything that you see and are doing. It is like being on the boat as a crew member without having to do any work 👍.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Our pleasure!

[@penneynoss9552]

Hi Dawn and Peter, this was a new cruise for me, it was beautiful thank you.

Nice to see you both out on the boat,well done on the locks dawn,great simple idea on the tiller.always love vids.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Glad you enjoyed it, thankyou.

[@cheakyblinder]

Brings back memories when I moved the boat from Thorne to new West Yorkshire mooring last year. Did it by myself up to Kellingly before crew arrived. Managed to upset one of the locals with the time taken on one of the lift bridges. Lock keeper was there on the day and thankfully 2 boats came opposite way which helped greatly. Very few moorings except landiings and around lock entrance. Happy holidays.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

We had hoped the lockie would be on to ease passage through the lock - but no such luck! Overall was interesting little trip up the New Junction though.

[@ChrisBrown-jh2mo]

The Pontcysyllte aqueduct is no problem, walked it twice, done it both ways on a trip boat. That one you did is just a tiddler! 😀

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Big enough for me... I'd never go across the pontysylithe!

[@mandyslack7589]

looking to be having fun xx

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

We are, thankyou - pity I had to miss darts though!

[@NeverTwoLateOurJourney]

Lovely to see you out. Have a great time x

[@kathpitman2202]

Love your bike Dawn have fun both of yo

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

The bikes ace - already done 60 miles on it in about 3 weeks!

[@castingshadows282]

Great to see you both indulging in some you time and enjoying the freedom with Mother Nature. Looks really serene where you are traveling to, too. Have a super journey and plenty of fun. Peace. Catch you on the next one.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou!

[@chrisrand5185]

The waterways around you look vast when compared with those we are used to in the Midlands. Have a great trip and we look forward to more boat updates when you return.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Yes, most of the waterways round here were built for the large work boats - upto 16ft wide so the canals and navigations had to be vast to allow these huge boats to pass.

[@andrewwheeler2599]

Have fun and thanks for sharing...

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou!

[@garylinker69]

Lol wow that was sooo high up! Surprised you didn't need safety gear to cross that 😛 Nice steering mod but I think I'd rather go for a swim than snap / bend my rudder? (Horses and courses) nicely thought up though 🫣 Hope it was a wonderful trip, can't wait to see more 😘 You guys are great!

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thanks 👍 a swim maybe be too bad on a nice sunny day. not so keen on a freezing day though! :)

[@TheDudez1313]

Loving your salute signal lol

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

It works a treat!

[@billharris6886]

Hi Peter and Dawn, it's good to see two again, especially enjoying some quality canal time, along with enjoying some of the fruits of your labors with the boat work. Yes, the solo narrowboater gets a real workout with all the locks, swing and lift bridges so, nice to have a second person to act as "lock/bridge monkey". I have noticed also, how boat boarding access is missing when doing some of those bridges but, I guess this is due to the setup used with the original horse drawn boats, coupled with tradition. I am a bit surprised with the low priority given to canal traffic concerning the bridges. All that engineering is spent designing a lift or swing bridge, when it seems much simpler to everyone concerned, if they just elevate the bridge a few meters (Ah tradition!) Great idea on the tiller travel limiter! Enjoy your holiday!

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou, Yes tradition seems to go a LONG way on the canals!

[@frankwhitney5774]

When you get to lemonroyd you back on to St Aidans RSPB reserve ,worth a visit and look for the famous Black necked grebes

[@frankwhitney5774]

Its a former coal mine and they have a large dragline machine at the entrance

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

We did get to Lmenroyd and saw the reserve but didn't have chance to properly visit it....

Taken from Wikipedia quote "Goole is first attested in 1306, as Gull Lewth (where lewth means 'barn', from Old Norse hlaða), and then 1362 as Gulle in Houke' (referring to the nearby, and then more significant, village of Hook). The name is first attested in its shorter, modern form, from the 1530s. It comes from the Middle English word goule (or an Old English ancestor), meaning 'a channel made by a stream'. The word has sometimes been taken to imply that Goole is named after an open sewer, but there is no strong basis for this." unquote

[@davecolston582]

Hi When are you planning to complete you’re fibre glass repairs?

[@brianinbrisbane6632]

Did you drop by my grandfather's old house in Goole? He emigrated to Australia from Goole.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Ah alas I guess we missed his house, we were only really in the port area and shopping centre.

[@workingboat]

Have you finished with the fit-out of your boat ?, I would like to see more of that

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Still more to do... the trip we are out on at the moment is the last proper trip we will do this year. So time to concentrate on finishing the boat when we are back..

[@trevormegson7583]

Like the suicide seat solution guys. You excell.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou!
