Gladys the Narrowboat
I'm Jeff. The channel is about my travels on Narrowboat Gladys, my Brompton folding-bike, and videos I make of other interesting places - mostly, but not all, on canals. New videos every Saturday at 06:00!
I've bought a narrowboat - a 40 foot 'Aintree Beetle', built by Aintree Boats in Liverpool. I visited them during the build-process a number of times, but eventually, on 15th November 2024, she was finally launched at Aqueduct Marina in Cheshire! I named her Gladys and I explore the UK's canals on her, making videos as I go. She was moored for the winter at the marina but I left there in March 2025 and am now cruising the waterways until November.
