Betty on a Boat

Ай бұрын

In this video I took my narrowboat over a canal aqueduct which crosses the River Dove. The River Dove follows the border between the English counties of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, which means I started off in one county and ended up in another!
Sorry it has taken me so long to post another video by the way. I've had a lot going on lately and I haven't had much free time to edit this together.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy watching it and I'm aiming to post another one in a couple of weeks!

A cracking little video Betty. You've just passed through my home territory, just like Mr Swan. I see him daily on my dog walks between Mercia Marina and the Dove aqueduct. He has a Mrs with 4 cygnets at the moment and patrols the whole stretch, fending off all other swans and geese. Sorry I didn't see you along the way but if you ever come back I'll say Hello. Happy cruising! ❤

Thank you for your reply, Betty it was so nice of you. Yes, there are some lovely walks around the river at this time of year, and winter is magical as well. If you like nature and enjoy walking, may I suggest that if you have reached Branston yet, there is a water park called Branston Water Park you might like. It's nice. There's a little cafe there, i believe. You can access the park from the toe path of the canal, a little way up from a lovely pub called the Bridge Inn. Best wishes 😊

Good evening, Betty. What a lovely surprise as I opened my phone and there you were. I've been thinking about you and wondering how your journey has been so far. So, have you reached Alrewas yet? Be careful on the river! There's a lovely little church called St. Leonards, you might like to visit if you have time. I have fond memories of Alrewas, visiting friends who had a white thatched cottage by the river. We'd spend late summer evenings picking fruit from their orchard. I'd love to tell you more, but for now, stay safe on board 'little one' , and thank you. Andy 😊 xx

Burton is world renowned for the quality of it's beer. It's all down to the water used. In times gone by rival breweries up and down the country would go to Burton to take water samples to see if they could reproduce it, naturally they couldn't. I'm a Londoner now living these past 40 years in Dorset and I picked up that information somewhere along the way! I'm enjoying your videos and looking forward to seeing how your boat is inside. Great respect to you, I like an independent woman.

Dear betty rather than walk back 4 miles to your car which is quite a distance . haven’t you thought about a fold up bike on your boat . i’ve had a Brompton fold up bike for 15 years they’re strong fast and folded up it would fit on the backseat of your car with no problems . taking a slow bike ride along the towpath at 8 miles an hour will get you back to your car in around 20 minutes it’s only a suggestion . Enjoyed the video and seeing the 🦢you look very nice and ready for Royal 🐴 Ascot in that Hat and glasses safe sailing !!

I probably will get a fold-up bike eventually but I really enjoy the walking! I’ve always enjoyed walking along towpaths.

Hi Betty, I really love it when your latest installment pops up on my YT feed! Thanks for the time snd effort you put in to do these. I also live solo on a boat, but she's a sailboat called Starlight and my mooring is on the coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales. I go out sailing whever i can. All the best, Paul.

Oh wow, you’re braver than me living on a sailboat! I think sailing must be really difficult.

Been following since you started. You went past my house just before the Stretton A38 bridge. The canal just before and the one after the Bridge inn at tatenhill are the worst bits for road noise. Ps :- grab a pizza from the Bridge. They’re top class.

That was a really lovely trip, so enjoyed your informative delivery to camera. You are definitely enjoying talking to camera more, and it was lovely to hear your conversations with your Swan pet. Shame he didn't come with you. Looking forward to more adventures of Little One.....from our Little One x

Yep another nice video Betty!! A mine of information as well !! Love your hat as well looks good on you. Left to left for boats passing = Port to Port. Right side is Starboard when looking towards the Bow at sea this applies /just for anyone who reads this. Love your Swan friend all by it's self though something must have happened to it's mate. See you next time on you travels Betty👌

Thank you for another peaceful "mental health" quarter at the entrance of the weekend, Captain Betty. If you are caught talking to the camera again, just remember that you are guiding 15,000 friends around. Thank you 🙏 (oh, your job with the B-roll footage is really adding a lot to the ambience of the landscape you are navigating through for a Norwegian who straps on a whitewater kayak to visit rivers over here they are less like canals and more like waterfalls, adding the feeling of being in a truly exotic place).

"Captain Betty" - I like that! I'm glad you enjoyed the extra bits of footage - I actually went back to film those a few days later, but it meant I got to explore a bit more.

I think its sweet that you feel embarrassed getting caught talking to the camera by members of the public, but the thought of 15 thousand subscribers is no problem :)

Another lovely video Betty. Life seems so peaceful and civilised on the canals. I am sure there is the occasional " canal rage " moment but it does look so relaxing. Love the way you explain about life on the canals. Thank you.

Aww I was sad to see the swan swim off, but I suppose they needed to be somewhere. It's a small world when you meet another boat with such a similar name! I wish I'd bought one years ago.
