I have posted a full set of videos of my canal holiday aboard my parent's boat Rose of Yorkshire. There is only a short description on each - if you want to know more watch the video!

Ricky Richardson, in his narrowboat Tame Valley, joins us for the first part of our adventures. Our friends Jorge, and Pelina also join us for the weekend.
	132 Kbps 13 Mb Total	Part 2 - Hull Marina to Newark We left Hull Marina early in the morning to catch the tide. We kept going until Torksey where we moored for the night. The next day we continued up to Newark.
	132 Kbps 14 Mb Total	Part 3 - Newark to Sawley We had a look around Newark, and then continued up the river to Hazleford Lock to spend the night. We left in a heavy shower, and worked our way steadly up the river to Sawley, where we left the boat for a week.
	132 Kbps 12 Mb Total	Part 4 - Sawley to Banbury We did this section in two different weekends, stopping at Eric Woods place in Whittington. We then left the boat at Brauston on the embankment for a week. Doug and Judith, my Uncle, and Aunt joined us for the next week, where we took the boat to London.
	132 Kbps 16 Mb Total	Part 5 - Banbury to Staines Continuation of our weeks long hike to London. We went down the South Oxford, and continued down the Thames. We suffered a breakdown just South of Windsor where the reversing lock on the outdrive broke. Thankfully Chertsey Marine had one in stock, and we managed to fix it.
	132 Kbps 11 Mb Total	Part 6 - Staines to Alperton We went to Camden so Doug and Judith could have a look round. We thought our next mooring was down the Paddington Basin Arm, but we found that it was in Alperton (West London Cruising Club), so it was a bit late when we arrived.
	132 Kbps 12 Mb Total	Part 7 - Alperton to Waltham Abbey We planned to do the Lee and Stort, so we set off the week before the rally, and did both ends. Unfortunately I have managed to lose the tape showing this bit, and so the video stops just above Waltham Abbey, and starts again at about the same place!

	132 Kbps 9 Mb Total	Part 9 - WRG Show The Waltham Abbey WRG Show
	132 Kbps 4.9 Mb Total	Part 10 - Fireworks Fireworks
	132 Kbps 6.3 Mb Total	Part 11 - National Festival The National Festival and some working boats unloading coal.
	132 Kbps 14 Mb Total	Part 12 - Waltham Abbey to Denham Deep Lock We left the Festival on the Monday afternoon, and reached Limehouse Basin for the night. We left on the Thames to Brentford with many other boats, and then continued up the Grand Union.
	132 Kbps 14 Mb Total	Part 13 - Denham Deep to Watford Locks Another problem with the outdrive forces an impromptu repair, and then going up the Whilton flight the propellor fell off entering a lock - this caused the boat to hit the cill knocking the bow/anchor roller off. Dad returned weeks later with his scuba stuff and found the roller, but not the prop.
	132 Kbps 10 Mb Total	Part 14 - Watford Locks to Sawley Continued down the Leciester Arm, and again left the boat at Sawley for another weekend.
	132 Kbps 9.8 Mb Total	Part 15 - Sawley to Hempholme Sawley to Hempholme in a weekend is difficult as you cannot do the tidal run in one hit. We reached Torksey in one day, and then managed to wait on the piling outside Stockwith Lock for the tide the next day. We reached Hempholme very late in the day.
