Tiny Narrowboat – Mighty River! The Tidal Trent To Keadby Lock – Reveal At The End… | Vlog 127

#narrowboat #liveaboard #vlogs
We take our TINY LIVEABOARD HOME on the final part of the Tidal River to Keadby Lock.
It’s a lovely journey as we and our buddy boat cruise the vast river.

However, there’s something we reveal about our NARROWBOAT HOME at the end…things are not all they seem…
