Narrowboat Journeys

Narrowboat Journeys

Relax and see more of the canals with Narrowboat Journeys. I show the "in between" bits that other channels leave out. What better way to virtually explore our inland waterways? The channel also features walking and cycling videos. I have lived aboard my Narrowboat for over 34 years.
All of the music used in my videos is composed and recorded by myself under the artist name Kryfold Sky.
Thank you for watching. Welcome aboard!

    Hey Phil, just curious why some locks have double gates at one end and a single gate at the other. Looks like these had two at the bottom and one at the top, maybe that has something to do with it... 🤷‍♂ Thanks.

  • @NarrowboatJourneys
    @NarrowboatJourneys6 күн бұрын

    Top gates are smaller than bottom gates so are not so heavy and just one can be used. The bottom gates being bigger are usually paired. South of Banbury bottom gates are single. I think this was to save money.

    Bravo wonderful track ,u and your dragon.Its so quiet and truly beautiful, night cruises always remind me of coming home back to my cabin...especially after it had rained? The road was dirt and puddles would fill along the dirt road and headlight beams would reflect all the trees along each side it became an etherical experience..very calming...Much of your work has the same effect..you share your passion its a wonderful gift!!!😊
