Travels by Narrowboat

I had heard about narrow boats in the UK and was delighted to stumble upon this series. It is enjoyable and relaxing show to watch and you learn quite a bit about these boats and the canals they travel on. The first episode or two were just so so but overall quality continued to improve. After a while you feel like you know the lead character, Kevin and start to root for him to get a companion. Would like to see more about the actual boat, I don't recall Kevin ever giving a tour of Aslan. Hope this show continues on for some while.

You find yourself de-stressing as you follow Kevin and his boat navigate the wonders of UK's hidden gem -the canal waterways. Stripped back to basics, how do I get from A - B , eat, sleep and fix the odd mechanical misfortune. He manages to capture the best and the worst , you forget he is only going 4 miles an hour, which ensures he as much to travel and we have much more to watch. Thank you Kevin for allowing me into your world and making me a little less stressed....

Shows us parts of England that no one - other than canal users - ever get to see.. Lots of very old homes, buildings, villages, old bridges, canal locks, some wildlife,, some interesting details about canal boating and a bit of mindless chatter .

It's a peak into one man's version of retirement.. Quiet easy relaxing TV. A pleasant change from a chaotic world.

Coming to a cinema near you Series 4, a race against time, one man's bid to escape the drought ravaged waterways of the Leeds and Liverpool canal, his only weapons, his guitar and awesome dry wit, he and his companion Aslan battle past the tea rooms and pubs full of refreshing beverages on the quest for Freedom! This is actually a very entertaining and well produced travelogue of Kevin's travels in his vintage engine powered narrowboat. Now into his 4th adventure we get to see the wonderful and not so wonderful parts of England that line the 2000 or more miles of waterways that can be navigated. I am sure there will be much more to come. Always looking forward to the next installment.

One man leaves it all behind to get away from it all on a narrow boat. Or does he? You wouldnt believe the anxiety and other stresses on the canals existed but they do and they are well documented here. Ive watched all 4 series and now on the 5th. What got me hooked initially was that he floated past places I lived or know very well, so maybe he will near you too. A great insight into our waterways, even for those without a boat (like me )the series is addictive watching. The women in my life dont 'get it' but my daughter came to me and said "you know your canal program (mine, haha), I found my boyfriends dad watching it too!" so its more for us blokes I think - we're all secretly narrowboat fans, or at the very least interested in what goes on When the family have all retired to bed, grab a gin put your feet up and turn off your brain, float down a canal and enjoy the sights and sounds of Britain by narrowboat.
