Narrowboat in a Storm! Trapped on the Stratford Canal. Ep. 91

We're on a narrowboat in a storm! After several fallen trees, Silver Fox gets trapped on the Stratford Canal by Storm Ciara as we explore Britain by Narrowboat.
We begin in Illshaw Heath, visiting the gorgeous Wedges Bakery before cruising through Hockley Heath towards the Lapworth Locks.
At Kingswood Junction, we have to decide whether to continue down the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal towards Stratford or bear left onto the Grand Union Canal.
We get trapped by fallen trees after Storm Ciara sweeps through, the first major storm narrowboat Silver Fox has been caught up in. But where do we end up?
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    Did you notice the house on the left after lock 21 with the curved barrel roof. There’s another at Lowsonford. There are several of these along this stretch of the Stratford on Avon Canal. It is said that they were built for canal workers, re-using the timber centring (supports like shuttering for concrete) used to support the brick arches of the bridges during construction. A bit of 18th/19th century recycling perhaps.

    THERE'S the Muttley laugh, at 17:14, but there is smoke involved. :-) A Q for a future Q&A: Do you ever worry that canal you-tubers will cause their own problems by bringing more doofuses to the canals, especially with future lock-downs? Have you thought about making a "Getting started with a canal boat" series that might focus on etiquette particular to specific places? Maybe short-attention span things, 10 mins or so, focused. Like talking to others who are moored around particular locks to arrange going together, the importance of going slowly through particular stretches, or tipping volunteers with a cup of coffee or what. You both seem very sensitive to others' needs, and you'd be the perfect ones to have that kind of series. Thanks for all!

    Port side, hurmf, port is always on the left side of the pointy end of the boat, when looking towards the pointy bit from the blunt end or stern. This is irrespective whether you looking forward or backwards. So the Christmas tree factory was on your starboard side. Just saying, use it, or dont use it.
