232. Pushing the narrowboat throttle to 11 on the River Trent

#narrowboat #narrowboats #canal #canals #liveaboard #cruisingthecut
In this vlog I continue down the River Trent, from Holme lock to Hazleford lock, giving the engine some rarely-used revs yet still being slower than another boat that was doing the same trip.

Got a question? Read this!

Narration + Sense of Humor + Scenery = Thanks For Sharing Your Adventures.

Watching these videos makes me want to quit my job sell my house and stuff, move to the UK and buy a narrow boat and live peacefully ever after 😀😀😃😃

With all that speed, thank god you are not wearing a hair piece. :-)

Your humorous commentary never fails to make me laugh. Great job!

I'm following a few of these cut vlogs. Most of the other vloggers talks about things to come and later on shows just a glimps of whats nice to see. You do it the other way around, talking while showing, which I find very nice. :))

In a year of plague, malfeasance and unbridled crackpot-tery it is beautiful little moments like these that lift the pall and provide reassurance and a token of sanity. You deserve much more than a simple thank-you but that will have to do for now. Thank you.

Spinal Tap and Hitchhiker's Guide and Love the old skool references in your vlogs, keeps us oldies amused

[ynys_mon]

Love the Hitchhikers Guide and Play School references. We used to have a rescue dog called Marvin, who had been picked up as a stray. Our theory was that the rescue kennels called him Marvin because he looked so miserable (after the paranoid android). He soon cheered up once we got him home though.

OMG real money!! Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any better, David throws in a decimalisation joke. Love it!

I had stepped away from your meditative videos for awhile. I had been comparing them to our experience here in the states as we tootled around all the lower 48 and much of Canada towing our Casita camper. Today, I saw your newish video and thought, “just what I need!” Being in the middle of Covid in SC, as well as a few days before the election, the stress levels here are high, and so your lessons on calmness, oh great Zen Master, have been a joy. Keep it up!

You earned a laugh and a like for that Hitchhiker's Guide reference

[Naturerockwood]

Hitchikers guide to the galaxy .made me realize why i lwas watching

[tomtruesdale]

Great video and I LOL at the "Hitchhiker's Guide" and "War of the Worlds" references

[jamesjohnson-pqli]

Your videos go great with a cheese sandwich.

[MicheleLimon]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference... one more reason to love this channel!

[alanbower]

A lot of interesting scenery. Loved the War of The Worlds and Titanic references. Have a good night.

Thanks David, for another trip down memory lane (river). As a 14 year old, I used to camp in the back of the lock keepers garden and in way of saying thanks, we used to help working the locks. This was at Gunthorpe lock, way back in 1957. If memory serves me correct, the gates were operated by a large wheel with a handle. Great memories as well down at Hazelford lock. There's a great pub, The Hazelford Ferry, with lovely food. Thanks again, Barrie.

I love the river cruise.. absolutely beautiful boats everywhere.. cruising at 6 knots was cool the wake on the front of your narrow boat sliceing down the river was amazing.. Definitely need more of that! Cheers David..

I'm here on my butt watching Cruising the Cut. I LIKE the views of trees...as opposed to empty warehouses.
