Thank you so much for your generous donation Bobby. It really id appreciated. We have had an expensive few weeks with travelling costs and winter fuel and I also lost the top of the chimney on an overhanging tree so this will help. We will also get the doggies a packet of treats from you. 🧡

I'm always happy to see you always interesting newest vlogs along with their great music. Thanks.

hi both, Well that was a relief getting the Wigan flight done. Love the Guitar music. Bon voyage.

Thank you. The fella that owned it was so so I guess 😂

Going under that bridge I almost felt my cap rubbing on the low hanging bricks @ 17:30. That was close, lol.

It’s so funny when you go under a low bridge I duck. Thanks for the video, cheers.

The before and after views of you two--exhausted at the end of the locks and refreshed the next morning--said it all. What a day! The combination of the music and overhead drone footage was utterly lovely. And the footage under the bridge had me shrinking in my seat.

I achieve the Wigan flight 50 year ago I think you two are a good couple I am now 80 years old And now on my 15 boat Over the years have down sized to a 40 ft narrow As new Brayzel build Keep going you two nice people 👍

Hello Rodney. Thank you for your comment. 50 years boating, I guess you quite like it 😊

Oh no. I’m half a mile away and didn’t realise you were on your way down . Sorry to have missed lending a hand. Also there is the fantastic Amberswood nature park 2 miles away you and the dogs would have loved it. Regularly see deer!! Great achievement and I hope it didn’t put anyone off for life but now you know why there’s so much weed about, the canal has hardly been used this summer 😢 Every blessing. Joan

Thank you. it is good to hear from you again.

You need to do the Stratford-upon-Avon canal, through the Lapworth flight. Neither wife or her sister wanted to drive the boat, so they did all the locks. They were nearly dead by the end because sone of those paddles are very very hard to wind.

Hi that was the dover lock pub,it burnt down a few years ago,I do alot of fishing round there,was I nice pub.Great vid guys.

Your videos are such a visual treat!!

Best to breast up going through broad locks, much easier and saves time. These big lock flights are always demanding. When we had the boat and crew, they would enjoy breaking last journeys time on places like Hatton, Cain Hill and the Wolverhamton flights, we never did manage the Wigan; the western part of the LL always seemed to allude us, stoppages and time. Yes, we've been battered by the storms here in the soft under belly of the south; can't beat the gods country of Yorkshire. Great videos, take care, regards, PMh
