Kennet and Avon Canal - We Go To Bath!

Күн бұрын

Julia and I are on the fabulous Kennet and Avon canal and today we cruise into Bath and visit the city. Sadly it is a whistle stop visit because there are other things to do and the weather threatens rain, but actually holds out for us.
We have only one more day left and have to make our way back tomorrow to the marina.

I built my own boat and I set it afloat! I went through locks and tunnels! Where I lost all the funnels! I didn’t get it right! I forgot about the height! Julia has become a Tiller Girl,only those over 60 will understand that one!!

I thought those ducks looked rather aggressive!!!😂 I agree Julia - the entrances to the tunnel was beautiful! Loved Bath (I know you've made vids of walking around it before, but I was still rather hoping to see y'all exploring more of the city😕)! It was interesting listening to you guys talking at the end, but I gotta admit I was a bit distracted by Joseph's tongue in search of his pacifier!😛😜😝👶🏻🤣🤣🤣 So cute!

Sadly lack of time prevented up from spending too long in Bath and it was so busy with tourists. Will return another time.

Hello Richard & Julia You both did so well making these videos. Especially with such a small baby. You made a good team. I have never been on a canal boat but seen them on TV. tfs

That’s the second time this week I have seen those tunnels this week. The first was a couple who have given up land living. Channel Floating our Boat). Also I noticed that you are coming under Julia’s influence and your cloths are going purple. Great video.

Wow! The shot of Richard and Joseph as you came through the tunnel was idyllic. Well done for getting all the way through to Bath and for taking a quick stroll too. Julia's narrow boating tips were brilliant. You must try to have a good turn at the tiller on the way back. You have an excellent teacher on-board! Full speed ahead now through just outside the marina.

We love Bath and have stayed there in a hotel, but I must admit being on a canal boat does look more fun. A guided tour around the ancient baths is well worth the pennies. When we last went you could put your fingers in to the warm, spring, water, which considering the Romans did exactly the same many years ago is quite amazing! 👍

We didn't stay very long in Bath unfortunately - so will have to return another time in more detail.

Good to see a dry day. I’ve only been through bath on the train really - would love to spend some time there. Bow thrusters are amazing - makes life a lot easier to moor!

Ive already thought i would love to do this but a little bit nervous thinking i would be useless piloting the narrowboat and nobody to teach me. Looks such a lovely thing to do on the water and visiting places for a week or even two. Thank you Richard and Julia for a series of super videos 🌻

Who said he's a bad captain? He just doesn't have a lot of confidence when it comes to taking the tiller but we'll work on that perhaps in future 😊

@DavidB5501 4 жыл бұрын

Remember the phrase 'bald as a coot'. A coot has a white forehead extending almost to the top of its head (hence the description 'bald'), while a moorhen has a red forehead not going as far up. NB this applies to the UK/European coot and moorhen. I believe America has different birds with the same name (as with some other birds, such as the robin.

@ramibu239 4 жыл бұрын

Yes our Robins are def different! Not sure about the others as I don't know if we have them in OR. Lots & lots of Mallards though!

Was it easy to find moorings? Some people say there isn't anywhere to moor because of all the liveaboard boats moored up?

Hi there glad you are having a good time, just one question do you have to empty a toilet tank or does it end up in the canal !

@RichardVobes 4 жыл бұрын

We don't have have to deal with it.

@JuliaHartley 4 жыл бұрын

The hire boats tend to have large holding tanks for that waste which the hire companies deal with upon return. Private boats usually have toilets that take smaller waste tanks called cartridges which can be emptied at various points on the canals.
