I Kayaked Across England... Just to visit the Oldest Pub

3 роки тому

What happens when you are unemployed for a few weeks? Well, obviously, you go to the pub. But I thought I would make my journey to the pub a little different, with a 12 hour kayak to the oldest pub in England

I go a little stir crazy without a project, so I thought I would document my idiotic challenges, buildings, and musings. Thankfully, life on the water, in a Dutch Barge that is half-built, throws all kinds of weird and wonderful things at me.

Kayaking journey to a pub with breaks for tea and cake might be the most English adventure of all time

i liked your style of making videos already in the great big stories, so i subbed to you and i hope and think more people will find about you! This reminded me of the time when i hiked for 12 hours just to look from a hill that was 24.8 miles far. I was looking at this hill everyday from my old job and wondering what does it look like from there. I went with a friend and my dog and when we arrived at the hill it was accidently perfectly timed for a sunset. So yeah it was worth it...

@stilcrazychris 3 роки тому

@@JacobHarrell your so welcome. I really hate that GBS shut down. I've watched them for years & loved all the stories, except the ones where you read the English subtitles & can't watch the video. Those always made me mad. Bc I wanted to see what's going on. Ugh! I like the water canals. I watch Robbie Cunningham of the natylass & David from Cruising the Cut. Very nice guys. Now I get to add you to my list & I'm really enjoying your now. Lucky me.. hehe..... My family built are houseboat back in the early 1980's. It was 20'x70' that includes front 4' porch & back 8' swim deck. It only had 1 bedroom, large kitchen & living room combined, & a bathroom w/large shower & then the power room. I ran all electric & steering cables under the boat. I was the smallest. Dad was to big to fit & Mom said she wasn't doing it, so off I went.... lol.... We had a lot of fun on that boat. Then when my Dad passed away my stepmother sold it. Man I was pissed. Dad even told her everything @ the lake was mine & she didn't listen. All I got was a truck full of lumber that I couldn't really use. So I built me an outhouse, bc she shit on me. It's a nice one to I might say..... lol... Oh well karma is a bitch & she will get hers @ the end. Anyways back to you....... your doing good on your videos. Keep up the good work. Be safe, happy boating my new friend from across the pond, Chris
