Kendorr Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Having just watched the video, got to say, it was one of the most enjoyable I've seen for a very long time. For those who don't like youtube, their enthusiasm may get to you, but it is worth watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Sorry, didn't realize the home button was hard to find, and I went off to view the video. Thanks to others. Enjoyed the video, but my mistake, “anywhere on the towpath,” not, “wherever you like.” It might be anywhere on the towpath on the Monty, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Tee Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Its quite interesting to see a foreigner being so enthusiastic about stuff we kinda take for granted - cows, sheep, pigs, greenery, canals and rain! But he is right, we are lucky. Even finding all the food outlets closed and surviving on a ham sandwich didn't seem to dampen his mood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know where it is it's not hard to find - I think you may find that a large number on the forum just use the "Activity" "New Posts" so that whenever they log on it automatically lists all new posts. I don't think I have used the home page for 'years'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichM Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Thanks for the feedback. It takes a little while to find good quality content like this to feature on the site. Typically we feature more experienced boaters but these guys did a great job, well narrated and gives a glimpse into what our canals have to offer.

Puffling Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 His enthusiasm is infectious, tempered by his partner Nicole's qualifying her praise with the problems she discovered as a new boater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac of Cygnet Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Although his unrelenting enthusiasm can be a bit wearing, I enjoyed the video and actually watched one of his others about a train trip in the US. I look forward to the sequels of the canal trip, especially as I spotted my (former) boat in the aerial shots of the intro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 I just watched the current "Featured Video" of Country House Gent showing us how to start up an old vintage twin cylinder Ailsa Craig diesel. All goes well as he lubricates stuff, turns the fuel on, slowly turns the engine over using the hand start to get some oil moving, etc. Then he shows us the lighting and insertion of the wicks it uses instead of glow plugs. Then when it's finally ready for what I expected to be the finale of a grand, triumphant hand start, he spoils it all by just pressing a button and wanging it over with the electric starter motor, lol!!
