Why can't we moor here anymore? | Narrowboat life in Milton Keynes - 211

[@janroberts1815]

You two are just big kids at heart, you have so much fun ❤ It was lovely to see Doops. Forever in my memory when I watch your videos 🐰🐇

[@penelopeshaffer5143]

You guys are so crazy and I love watching these videos. One thing is for sure-you two never run out of interesting and unique things to do! You certainly keep this granny entertained! Keep enjoying being special. It does keep you young.

[@SallyCurrell]

What a fun episode. You definitely make the most of your downtime. So cute seeing Doops. Sorry for your loss, such a beautiful bunny. Sending love to you both xx

[@cotcottage2788]

You guys are the best on KZbin we have been subscribers for a couple of years now we are narrowboaters not live aboard but you do such a good job of showing it as it is

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

That scene with Andy and Steve as the lumberjacks, and Amy splitting the logs was great. Loved your tour of Milton Keynes. So glad you found a nice sunny spot to moor….hopefully for 2 weeks. So glad to see you and The Bears back together your adventures together are always epic. Nice job!!! 😊🤗 Kathy

[@alikay57]

Another great vlog! Loved the scooters! It's great to get out and about away from the boat and canals when you can. You are always so upbeat. So fun to see the Bears enjoying themselves also. Take care and safe travels. 🥰

[@BoatTime]

Thank you so much! They were great fun 🥰 it’s always fun with the bears! 🐻 take care! X

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Amy and Wes. Looks like Milton Keynes had plenty to do. Those delivery robots were funny. Love it how you got so excited seeing them 🥰 Take care. Nick

[@BoatTime]

They were fascinating 😅 we really enjoyed our time there!

[@joycebirrell2866]

Lovely vlog and love seeing Doops still in them. Rest easy Doops xxx

[@angiedodd3016]

Who is doops ?

[@BoatTime]

Our rabbit you see in the video, he recently passed away 🐰♥️

[@BoatTime]

thank you ♥️😊

[@danielcooney-fd3sc]

great couple ,love watching you on KZbin and tv channel four ,❤from liverpool

[@bobbing_along]

Ahhh! So good! Wish we had tried scooters while in MK! And awww the robots! They were always stationary every time we saw them!

[@bernishepherd4611]

That CRT guy didn't look too scary. Couldn't you have gone to have a chat with him? 🤗 Love to Doops 💛

[@BoatTime]

we were going to when he had finished but by the time we looked back he had gone! So we just moved the boats just in case 😊

[@LornaT460]

What fun on the scooters!❤

[@janecox4173]

I moved to pembrokeshire from northamton where i had my boat. I do miss seeing the 🤖 robots x

[@ShortAndNarrow]

You could challenge the "We was here before it was up" and that you didn't notice it because you don't pass it and no one officially informed you since you started mooring under the 2 week agreement spot. This is something to ask the trust about to see what they say. But you guys did the right move of moving for the peace of mind.

[@angiedodd3016]

Aww thats the rabbit so soorry he was very old for a rabbit x

[@shelleyannehardy2719]

Hi Amy and Wes, I've been watching you on Channel 4 for all week 😀 you guys are fantastic and so glad I've found you on here so I can continue following you. Just been watching you on the Thames 😮 on tv. I'd love a narrowboat ❤

[@Northen-point-of-view]

Just watched you on episode 2 of Narrow Escapes! You have hit the big time on channel 4 😊 Love your channel ❤

[@wilting_alocasia]

Just watching you on Narrow Escapes - You can get a thing called a 'Happy Hoodie' and its a special snood sort if thing for animals to help keep them calm It goes over their ears, head and neck and their lil face are sticking out Alot of groomers use them! :)

[@sophierowley1171]

its sad seeing the rabbit in the new videos but yes thair late coming out ill miss seeing him and we love you guys im going on my narrow boat holiday the 18th. you inspired me and my other half 4 years ago and its arewe 4th year now going each year xx

[@lailamai5732]

I only just realised I passed your boat a couple weeks ago at the Leighton buzzard canal fest. I’ll be cruising up and down Milton Keynes soon ❤

[@neverthetwain]

Hey! They had those starship delivery robots on trial in our former home city in Pleasanton California a couple of years ago. Really wild to see them in MK. Great vlog. Cheers!

[@joncst1100uk]

So sad to hear about doops I could see he was a much loved bunny Time is a healer and I know it doesn’t make things easier but as well as your memories you have vlogs to remember him RIP Doops

[@fp30e]

Hi Amy, Wes, An excellent video showing off Milton Keynes. You always have a great time on your adventures. Spoolbox

[@bartonseagrave9605]

I was wondering where the trees were going.

[@karenwallace9099]

Hello There you two go again. Stellar work on this video. Your choice of music and editing is becoming so. Awesome. We get incredibly involved in the production and are startled when it’s done. Love the true content. Take care.

[@NW-zl3nm]

We have been watching you both on Narrow Escapes, always our favs! You smashed it as it must have been nerve wracking ❤

[@annjarvis9300]

Glad you all had grand time together tc now luv from the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍

[@kevbaker153]

you 2 are crazy bonkers!! don't change xx you were right to move as I had a similar experience on the oxford no signs on Sunday, went off, came back to 3 days signs put up and a section notice on Thursday evening!!

[@kevinrowland3]

Great vlog guys, we moored in the exact same spot last year, a real fab mooring and we also loved Milton Keynes and Cambell Park. We really enjoy your posts 😊😊💕💕

[@julie9242]

LOL, What a laugh, that's what I needed Cheers both X🐰x

[@sheilajoseph9953]

You both are a delight to watch. The chicken coop kindling must have been the most expensive burn.🤣 but at least you were warm. 💚

[@Boating_David]

I always remember many years ago a station sign at Milton Keynes had "legoland sh*thole" scrawled into it 😂😂😂 Looks quite fun actually!

[@shirleygreaves9650]

The cup cakes looked good I didn’t know you could use chia seeds as an egg substitute . I also don’t know if you know but to use chia seeds you need to bash them in a pestle and mortar or blender or you don’t get the full health benefits. Another great vlog, I’ve just watched the Narrow Escape episode where you were on the tidal Thames. There can’t be many bunnies who have done that journey and had it recorded for prosperity. Lovely vlog. xxxx

[@rachelshonahague5718]

Fridays episode.. SHOCK,HORROR 😱 Amy buys new trainers.😱🤣Forever you four.🐰xxxx

[@mishkawp8200]

Those scooters looked great fun!

[@themacs1974]

Coming from US. Hired a boat at Napton for 2 weeks. Pls share the name of the game complex. We will be there on 30 May and would love to enjoy. Love to all.

[@BoatTime]

Hey! It was called XScape in Milton Keynes 😊 good luck with the trip! 🥰

[@Lìven-good]

[@BoatTime]

far too technical for us that 😋😂

[@teresawright5326]

Absolutely love Waggas 💚

[@BoatTime]

You can’t beat it! 😋🍛

[@juliebecker6049]

Love watching you guys you have so much fun

[@Gaz1975-h6e]

Great vlog yet again, you guys are so natural its great to watch you both..

[@dexterfitben]

What happens if you overstay your mooring? is it like a library ticket where the fine goes up the longer you digress?

[@margaretfiggs2606]

Are there signs about the spots for 2days and 2 weeks?

[@bluedeva]

If you enjoyed the scooter vibes you should check out swifty scooters as they do kick or electric foldable scooters that would in GG easily, they are so much fun on the canal paths and nipping thru the city 😉I saw one of those lil food delivery robots last year and was just as intrigued as you both were 😂🤣 it was wandering down a dual carriageway on it’s lonesome looking so cool 🤣😂🤣🤗🤗

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the cut keep up the gpood vid cranking it on the cut thanks lee

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! 🥰💕

[@002tempest]

Amazing Doops is back

[@geoffreynolds8835]

I think you're on Channel 4 tomorrow Wednesday 15/05/2024. Narrow Escapes 🇬🇧. The reason that they lifted the heavy weight,was the boat became a lever, and lifted the mooring. Physics in action .

[@BoatTime]

We sure are! 👏🏻👏🏻🎉 ahh nice! Good to get a physics lesson out of someone’s struggle 😅

[@moffatt43]

I have a horrible feeling that the CRT are going to be changing the rules about 2 week mooring spots a lot more to 2 Days,the Canals and Rivers are getting busier with people moving onto the Rivers and Canals,CRT are pushing up prices going by length and there is a lot of talk about Diesel Engines being Banned,as well as Solid Fuel Fires. Boat prices have gone ridiculously high and it all points to a lot more boats and not enough moorings. I have a sneaking suspicion that CRT are going to be insisting on ALL Boats having a permanent Mooring rather than there being constant cruising soon. Now is the time to be thinking about getting rid of Boats with Diesel Engines and heating systems and the Solid Fuel fires while you can get a decent price for your boat and then investing in a Electric Boat that is going to be the Norm very soon 🤷‍♂️.

[@bargeonline]

How many of those scooters end up in the canal

[@snowflakemelter1172]

The reduced mooring times are questionable, all we know for certain is that there is no penalty in any legislation or bylaw that refers to it, any charge for overstaying would be a civil matter and definitely cannot be added to your licence fee or your licence refused renewal because of any outstanding charges. FOI states that no one has been charged fees for this unless they were not told by CRT it was not mandatory, those who declined were not taken to court.

[@tinalopez1522]

Hey guys, I thought dupes passed away & yet today's video he was there? Our pets passed same week, may 9th?

[@elainekaufman2264]

We have started ships all over our town. Bowling Green ohio

[@AnthonyCarter-g2o]

Is the GU getting like the Thames for mooring with little sign’s springing up? Like your techneak with the axe Amy l thought you’d us it on the radiator cover (revenge)😂

[@BoatTime]

Someone else said it was always 2 days but the signs were lost/removed for some reason! Hahaha yep Amy had great satisfaction in destroying that! 😂

[@arrowflyer5544]

I think the sign change is the switchover from winter to summer rules in busy locations. Don’t think the CRT would have called you out as they had clocked you as already there before the sign change, but an explanation would have been nice.

[@BoatTime]

Ooh could be! They usually just leave a sign that says ‘all year’ if that doesn’t apply. Good to know though! Thanks!

[@mikeconway1387]

Hi,😎👋 do the CRT police actually fine one as in on the spot?

[@BoatTime]

You normally get an email warning but I think if the sign explicitly says they charge for overstaying you probably get one straight away!

[@RCKennington]

I use 1/2 a mashed ripe banana to replace 1 egg in a recipie or 1 tablespoon in golden syrup.

[@sallyhodgkinson4920]

WHERE'S WALDO? ( SORRY WES) 😂 was not trying to bee mean. X Be careful with the wood stain on that kindling might cause bad fumes when being burnt.

[@marymargaretwillbanks5399]

Did you think about asking the CRT guy what the rules were?

[@BoatTime]

We were going to, we were waiting for him to finish up, then another boater was chatting to him and we waited, but when we looked back he was gone so we just moved the boats up anyway 😊

[@marymargaretwillbanks5399]

I should have kept reading the comments because I saw you had to answer several other people! Thanks for responding to me though, it means a lot.

[@KarenG.-qs7wc]

Nice to see Doops there. How is Rufus without his little pal?

[@BoatTime]

He’s doing okay thanks you, he’s a bit sad but luckily doesn’t really seem to have much empathy 😅 which is good for his sake

[@SheilABeer-x8q]

Why don't the CRT say anything? Just creeping around putting up very small mooring signs seems a bit strange😮❤

[@BoatTime]

Yeah we were expecting a knock to let us know 🤔

[@janelou458]

There isn't anything in an out-of-date cake mix that would give you stomach cramps.

[@Nick-yf2fh]

those robots are a bit nightmare on the redways, nearly been taken out serval times by them turning in front of my bike, as the algorithm has developed more they pause less to make a decision....still, pretty cool

[@SoHoundHouse]

Doops!

[@BoatTime]

🌈🐰💕

[@samwright8599]

We need a different government, this shower just want money and don't care about upkeep, makes me very angry!

[@BoatTime]

Agreed!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@lordbelvoir2543]

Need to get rid of the CRT(cycling and ramblers trust)

[@BoatTime]

@@lordbelvoir2543 to be fair we don’t mind the CRT on the most part. They do great work and the staff and volunteers on the ground are mostly brilliant. They’re definitely not perfect though and management seem to make some questionable decisions

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Lovely vlog indeed. Very keen to visit Milton Keynes. Did u try the robot restaurant where ur served by robots ? Best wishes. ❤

[@Stevenspielburger]

​@@lordbelvoir2543The current governments modus operandi. Underfund, or destroy everything, with nothing in it's place

I'm a lumberjack and I'm alright!

[@BoatTime]

Yay! 💪🏻🪓🪵

[@SLOWLYdoesit1]

Not filming in Gulliver’s world because it’s full of kids…? Is that because there is a follow-up on the filming of the scout’s jamboree…?

[@BoatTime]

Haha yeah the problem is being too close so they’re recognisable at the park 😊

[@shaunmk]

grand union is like 10 mins walk from my house in mk

[@BoatTime]

Ah no way! It’s a wonderful place 💕

[@SarahPutnam-q1h]

You should of ripped the sign down .

[@BoatTime]

😬

[@kathleenlench4087]

The last flog we saw the rabbit had died

[@BoatTime]

we explained at the end that the vlogs are a couple of weeks behind so he will feature for a few more.

[@janecox4173]

It obvious that this was filmed before. You could have been a bit more sensitive Kathleen!

[@kathleenlench4087]

I’m so sorry I know what it’s like to lose a pet but I didn’t realise it was old footage

[@kathleenlench4087]

And how was I suppose to know it was filmed before when on it said 5 hrs it wasn’t till the end they said it was filmed before I was not being insensitive just wondering how Doops was still alive

[@BoatTime]

@@kathleenlench4087 don’t worry it’s okay! 😊 no hard feelings x

[@emmajudson5945]

That clip of those muppets levering out the mooring ring is pure gold! Hope you reported to CRT, give them summat to do instead of sneaking around changing signs without telling anyone!!

[@johnarnell4241]

If it's a popular spot probably for the busier summer season.

[@BoatTime]

We thought that, makes sense it’s a lovely spot!

[@Faith_Soprano]

In most places that claim themselves as democracies, laws can't be enforced ex post facto. I wonder if that would apply to CRT rules. If you moored before the 2-day rule went into effect, they shouldn't be able to make you move. But obviously, I don't know how those things work, maybe CRT is above the law. 😅

[@marsexpresschipper7915]

Can I ask why you didn't speak to the guy chaning the sign and find out what the deal was instead of just filming him ?

[@BoatTime]

At first he was talking to someone else, so we waited inside as we just assumed he’d knock on and explain. Next minute we looked outside and he’d already gone.

[@lordbelvoir2543]

You saw the crt bloke and moaned about him not knocking on...so why didnt you go and ask him????

[@BoatTime]

We got the clips of him, then he started talking to another boater so we waited inside as we honestly thought he was going to knock on and tell the boaters on that stretch what was happening. Next minute we looked outside and he had gone so we just moved the boat up.
