NARROWBOAT | Get off our tiny floating home | Unwanted hitchhikers | Episode 60

Hi Guys

Welcome to our latest episode in our ADVENTURES in our TINY FLOATING HOME.

This week Michael explains in a little more detail about our ‘threatening’ experience of the previous episode on our NARROWBOAT and we discuss why we didn’t record any footage of the incident.
We show a different side of Loughborough before leaving for our onwards cruise north towards the Trent & Mersey canal. We moor in a beautiful location for lunch and end up mooring underneath a flight path but then have some great banter with each other as we tackle the after affects of some unwanted HITCH HIKERS - just one of the PERILS of our LIVE ABOARD LIFESTYLE!!!

We hope you enjoy a look at our ADVENTURING LIFESTYLE xx

I think the spires of Churches reaching up from our our beautiful landscape are like spires of hope in these strange times.

We did a canal boat holiday along the Grand union canal 30 years ago with our kids.no problems. Just shows how the world had changed, so sad

Hi Guys, another great vlog, fab scenery and what looks like a safe spot to moor up.

[bolllochead]

We have done the Norfolk Broads a couple of times. With and without Bow Thrusters. Bow Thrusters are a game changer!

[mishkawp]

What a lovely area to relax after your scare in Loughborough. Beautiful and peaceful…if you ignore the aircraft!! Fantastic job on the roof clean Michael!

Years ago I was on the London underground, District line. The train stopped at Earl's Court. Doors slid open, and two pigeons hopped aboard. These two birds pecked and shimmied their way along the carriage floor, around the legs of the passengers. I think they hopped off two stops later at South Kensington.

[anthonydriver]

The pigeons was looking for a drink of water before returning home .🖒

Thank you very much for sharing Great video Stay safe

[johnland]

Great video, thanks. I remember mooring in that basin in Loughborough without any trouble fortunately. The Great Central RR steam railroad is also there and provides a great ride for we steam enthusiasts. I spent a weekend there on the shovel up on the footplate. Great fun but hot when raking out the hot clinkers at the end of the day. Enjoy the river Soar this week!!

The stretch of navigation around Zouch and up to Kegworth is very peaceful which is surprising! Because the area is very busy with major roads, rail line and the flight path to East Midland airport. I often walk the dog along the towpath there and is is such a lovely walk. It's a shame you did not have a more pleasant experience in Loughborough, the spot you had the trouble in is it is fair to say not the best place and you were wise to more on.

1st time i've seen a narrowboat with a bow thruster, such a good idea. You need a cat to sought out your pigeons but you might need a decent sized dog for the junkies, great video.

[andrewbowley]

Just found you, and I'm glad I did 😊. Love your videos, and thanks x Andy

[PhilHonour-zzmc]

Hi you two
I have a Dogue de Bordeaux
(French Mastiff or a Turner and Hooch dog )
We live on a Narrowboat and he’s the best guard dog, on guard 24/7. It’s a shame he can’t do any other chores to earn his keep
But he’s great company and always aware on what’s going on and who’s about.

[lovelyskull]

Airborne was the word I think you were searching for. Hilarious pigeons, very funny. I’m under a flight path, it makes me loopy, haha.

[davidhall]

After a stressful week your vlogs always give me a lift 🎉❤

[fionasevern]

Lovely to watch your video, used to live not far from kegworth and worked in Loughborough, recognised a lot of the area you were travelling through....
