285A The most unusual narrowboat cruise Ive ever been on (Part 1 of 2) CruisingTheCut 2022-12-05 | I was invited to take part in a trip that very few narrowboats are able to enjoy, along the "Cambridge Backs" - the river Cam running through all the historic university colleges. For most of the year the waterway is forbidden to powered craft but in winter, with permission, you can take a narrowboat. The trip is in two parts, this being the first is the voyage from Ely to Cambridge; part 2 is the trip along the Backs themselves.See Part 1, the Backs themselves, at youtu.be/eeyM94L1tb8See Simon's website at scholargypsy.org.ukIf you have enjoyed the video, a tip can be left viako-fi.com/davidjohnsor patreon.com/CruisingTheCutGet your Cruising the Cut mugs, t-shirts and other merch here: cruisingthecut.myspreadshop.co.ukInfoQ&A: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/f-a-q/Filming Gear: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/gear/Contact MeTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/CruisingTheCutInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/CruisingTheCutFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/CruisingTheCutWeb: http://www.CruisingTheCut.co.ukTheme music: "Vespers" by Topher Mohr and Alex Alena, from the YouTube music library#narrowboat #canal #cruisingthecut #rivers #offgrid #liveaboard

268. Replacing canal lock gates using a boat crane CruisingTheCut 2022-06-15 | Every year, the Canal & River Trust replace a load of worn-out lock gates across the 200+ year-old canals of England and Wales. But how do you lift a 4-tonne chunk of wood out of its bindings, on waterway, often with limited room to manoeuvre? With a crane on a boat, that's how...Location: goo.gl/maps/AYdeQGuqnpqMbGjH9How lock gates are made: youtu.be/UGucbWhD5s8If you have enjoyed the video, a tip can be left viako-fi.com/davidjohnsor patreon.com/CruisingTheCutGet your Cruising the Cut mugs, t-shirts and other merch here: cruisingthecut.myspreadshop.co.ukInfoQ&A: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/f-a-q/Filming Gear: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/gear/Contact MeTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/CruisingTheCutInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/CruisingTheCutFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/CruisingTheCutWeb: http://www.CruisingTheCut.co.ukTheme music: "Vespers" by Topher Mohr and Alex Alena, from the YouTube music library#narrowboat #canal #cruisingthecut #rivers #offgrid #liveaboard

266. A narrowboat designed for the less agile liveaboard boater CruisingTheCut 2022-05-23 | What would a narrowboat look like if you were able to start with a blank sheet of paper and design it so that the boat was still very usable in later life or with limits on your physical agility? A couple from Hampshire have done just that so I went along to see the finishing touches being put to the boat ahead of it going on display at the Crick Waterways show in June.If you have enjoyed the video, a tip can be left viako-fi.com/davidjohnsor patreon.com/CruisingTheCutGet your Cruising the Cut mugs, t-shirts and other merch here: cruisingthecut.myspreadshop.co.ukInfoQ&A: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/f-a-q/Filming Gear: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/gear/Contact MeTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/CruisingTheCutInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/CruisingTheCutFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/CruisingTheCutWeb: http://www.CruisingTheCut.co.ukTheme music: "Vespers" by Topher Mohr and Alex Alena, from the YouTube music library#narrowboat #canal #cruisingthecut #rivers #offgrid #liveaboard
