views it’s just constantly changing the skies the colors the sea oh it’s fabulous place I love it good signal you see that signal MK beautiful I think because of the rugged terrain in this area and the the sea breezes the weather changes so quickly probably why we get so much rain up here I’m not sure um it’s got something to do with it surely I just don’t like it I just don’t like the rain it’s getting on me nerves but it is nice to sit and Peru is out the window and be inspired by a cup of tea and the landscape AP there’s a little village over the canal I thought take a little walk up there it’s only little walk cuz you know I’m nearly 90 80 I’m no good to Counting I’ve told you that H it’s a very quiet very pretty little village I want to go look at that that white church that I pointed out on my last Vlog I don’t think it’s that far well I hope it’s not because I’m turning back otherwise and you won’t get to see it so it’s not around this corner I’m turning back you know I’ve had

instrument here is what you call a nappy pin and ideally uh you don’t want to do it this way you want to put your rope through first cuz you can so easily drop it in um which I didn’t do amateur amateur you know got magnet so that’s fine that’s all right I might find another one while I’m while I’m in there you know sort of thing and you pull your rope through and it what it does it attaches itself to the arm Co at the side and it it’s so you can want to put a spike you can’t put a spike in but his arm Co you can use these nappy pins for a borro from giant giant babies that’s what you do you know thing all right here we are there’s the secret little box is it working let’s have a look we have H2O wonderful all right let’s get my hose let’s get the hose good thing about these hose is you can put them in kind of tight places i’ got to flush this through though because got to flush this through because sit there we are all right it’s been sat for a while come on let’s think about these they do knot up have get some knots in them if you said to me tie knot on this in this thingy while throwing it on the floor I’ll give you a million Quin I could do it you put this into the put this on the step there a million knots in it turn it on let’s turn it on shall We There we are it expands a lot he like me in your Prime not anymore okay let that drizzle out for a minute what do next there’s me key on the Rope here we are let keep it on the Rope cuz it’s easy to lose these things I’ll do that make sure that doesn’t fall in the water that’s somewhere really safe so I can spill it s and I can’t find it later wonderful right H get that it’s hold it a minute here we are right there for a minute [Music] drain that there for a minute every now and again I put uh put these tablets in just to sterilize the tank and the uh water system I put about I put that strip in there in there you know each one does 25 L it’s not going to do the whole tank but it’s going to do the pipes and stuff clean them out all right okay just pop these straight into there another one couple of those pop some more in there feed the tank some pills there we are put a good strip in there that the hose is cleared out so all right let’s put the tank up sort out it’s going to trip somebody up isn’t it that’s it I think we’re about they’re about full now right let turn it off these pressurized these pressurized take some time to go down so won’t pull it off straight away so it’s turned up still pressure in there a lot that pressure is going to have to drop before I can take the hose off see it’s shrinking bit like me as I get older that’s my manhood just going into Oblivion and every year passes the manhood starts doing that sad really shrinking and shrinking and you get knots in it let’s close a secret door that only we know about under this hedge ah few bits on it never mind that wash Cycle’s finished as well so 15 minutes it’s taken wonderful I love this little twin tub it’s very quiet and it cost me 22 quid but they’re about 20 30 other and um I rinse it by hand in the in the bowl so I mean jeans and stuff I don’t bother but you know towels and things like that and uh sheets

Thank you so much. β€β€β€
Between you, me, the fence post and all of your traveling gongoozlers…..I think we can keep that secret water box a secret. πππ Nice ballet behind the camera. We were watching! Not really but wished we could have seen it! LOL!! Beautiful scenery at the moor-up at the beginning of the video! Thanks for Sharing another great video, Will! Stay safe and healthy!
Glad you are feeling a bit better xxx are we going to see Leons boat ???? Not that we are nosey xxxx
You know having the notes taped to your keyboard is cheating… π It's ok though, I play guitar and when someone asks me if I can play some G#m7sus4 cord, I just say my guitar didn't come with that cord installed. π I have to have pictures to show me where my fingers go. It's kind of like it used to be with wife, I need pictures. ππ Oh, and speaking of manhood, yeah mine shrank as well… π
You know, you can find books for going through adolescence, what to expect when your pregnant or raising kids… but, there's nothing on what to expect when you're rowing old. I need to find a "Growing Old for Dummies" book. Maybe someone could write one…π€
Thanks for another one Mr. Will. Take care. ππ
Great video Will but sorry didn't like you in the blue and white capπ€£
Great Video Will.
Awesome, thank you Will. I was able to update Jacob Stanley and wife Sarah (Wilson) to my family tree. On mom's side we are Stanley from way back.
Great vlog Will love your humour. Xx
Will, Iβve seen a post on Facebook that Savick Brook sea lock is broken. Will this stop you escaping the beautiful Lancaster Canal?

You could always add a viagra tablet in your water hose π
Wow, what amazing views. Thank you Will ππ
Hi, did you spotted the turtle in Bolton Le Sands on the canal? He's always in the same place, very well camouflaged, just north of bridge 125 on the opposite side of the canal just after all the houses. Look out for the Otter around bridge 75 too!
Thank you Will ,spent the day with some of my kids and the grandkids. Pity my team lost that game but you canβt win them all.πThanks again for the shout out.π

That ballet performance was so gracefull, didn't expect that from a 90 err 80 year old π
That view is amazing!
Will, Phil here from NZ. Great vlog as usual. That small gas heater you found, please dont use it, in fact destroy it and get rid. The reason that if used in an enclosed area, like your boat, they give off both Water and Carbon Monoxide. In an enclosed space with no ventilation it could be deadly. The water is invisible and will condense on a hidden cold area and may form mold. I have experience of bigger versions and felt drowsy. I found out early and stopped using the heater. Cheers mate, stay safe love the vlogs.
Morning Will. Should be plenty of water in the canal! Even if the edges are shallow. Enjoyed video and like to see repurposing of stuff from skips. I am given "stuff" at our lake frequently for helping fix up modellers' boats(three last Sunday!). My latest is a dual channel oscilloscope and a signal generator as I like to dabble in electric/electronics. They were in my wish list for several years but pricey. Delighted. Hope you are keeping well after your "bout". πππ. Paul.
The Hosepipe made me laugh π
Your hose WILL come right now you put all those Blue pills in the Tank Will. There's a night on the town coming up very soon .
Nice video again π . I didn't realise we are around 6 weeks behind you at home viewing the videos. It's still raining now . That remains consistent across the months. Wherever you are currently on the Lancaster. It'll be raining.
What are the name of the cruisers you point out where you can sit inside?. Braunch cruisers? . Forgive me, I'm from Ayrshire , so there's sometimes a language barrier π.
Good luck π
You seem to be a bit better glad
Take it steady x
Cheers Will, catch you on the flip side π π
Hi I wonder if I could ask a question, I'm going to do the network on my boat next year after making my boat a safe pleasant and mechanically sound narrowboat..is it possible to do the whole uk network including all navical canals tidal stretches rivers including the wash . I don't want to tear around not taking in the sites but I not one for parking up on the towpath for weeks in one place . I was thinking in my mind I could do the network in 8 months taking in spring summer and autumn. Would this be a ridiculous estimate or could your share your opinion on this . I'm currently moored up on the middle levals so I plan to start probably at Bedford and work my way around the uk from there. Thanks for sharing your journey very interesting vlogs.
