    True life of a English Huck Finn life on a narrow boat

    Enjoying the viewing of life in another country by the means of a new travel method. Almost how the horse riders of old days seeing a auto for the first time touring the country. It's modern living in a slow pace of life but still new images weekly. That's what the doctor tells every middle aged man to do. Slow down enjoy life. Just wish it becomes two travelers as life is better with the right co captain in life for all of us. Thanks for the English county landscape views.

    Travels with NB Aslan

    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.

    Relaxing and unique travelling experience.

    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....

    Beautiful

    As an American (I have never been to England), I really enjoyed watching this series. Good photography of the English countryside, and a wonderful adventure. I am a small sailboater and the narrowboats are fascinating to me. Kevin does a good job of documenting the experience. It's also quite relaxing to watch.

    Unsure how I found it but glad I did

    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.
