Narrowboat Rescue on the Grand Union Canal. Ep. 124.

Can we perform a narrowboat rescue on the Grand Union Canal? We come across a drifting narrowboat on our way towards Milton Keynes. Colin jumps off to secure the boat.
Colin explains how the summit of the Grand Union Canal is supplied with water, how the 'Northern Engines' keep it moving, and we look back at the Great Train Robbery as narrowboat Silver Fox passes 'Train Robber's Bridge'.
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

The view into history is wonderful. You warm this old woman's soul with the laughter . As the summer closes and winter approaches, I shall look forward to and treasure each episode of your travels.... waiting for the installment to post, trying to wait for Saturday morning to enjoy. Thank you. A cuddle for Otis, motherly hugs to you both. Remain well well and strong. K

    Love the chemistry and the humour - I grew up with canal holidays and the first thing I could steer was a narrowboat aged 7, back in the '60's. Mum and Dad ( long gone now ) loved the canals so much they bought a narrowboat - it would be a stretch to say I grew up on the canals but every summer for many years we cruised many miles. I'm enjoying seeing places I haven't been in years - but what I really wanted to compliment was the choices of incidental music - not easy - especially in this era of copyright madness - but you always capture the mood so well. Great stuff.

    I just found you guys by accident. At first I was like, “all they do is go up and down canals”’ “boring”. Now I’m addicted. I watch you guys all the time. Such a cute couple. And thanks for sharing your diagnosis. My son is high functioning. I totally get everything you talked about. He would never want to live on the canal with his mother 😝🤣😂I’m totally jealous. If I lived in the U.K. I would totally have a coffee with both of you. I am now trying to go through your videos from the beginning just to learn more about you and how this channel started. I play them in the background while I clean the house and do projects. Love your videos. They calm me. I love all the random info. Anyway, not a stalker. Just want to say... good job. I’m totally jealous and wish I lived on the canal. Especially during these weird times. Lucky. As Christopher Eccleston would say if he were still the Doctor, “You are fantastic”

I just want you to know that your kindness will one day be repaid back to you Ten fold. I believe in Karma. Collin please don't stop showing the Outtakes, what ever you and Shaun are trying to do and it gets flubed and Shaun starts laughing I split my sides laughing at Shaun laughing. You guys are the best. Lots of love and stay safe. 💕 P.S. Collin could you show more shot's from the front of the boat and just have the sound of the water trickling by? I've seen 2 Vlogs this one and one other and it's just heaven listening to that sound. I find it very calming. Just a thought. 🤗💕

Otis is looking cuter every vlog bless him, he really loves the camera.

    That was being a truly good neighbor to re-secure that narrowboat! Excellent boat handling as well! So many people go through life as spectators instead of participants. They're more than happy to pull out their phone and do a video and put it on KZread or whatever, or just dial an emergency number and expect someone to be there in 5 minutes to resolve the problem. I'm sure the owner of that boat deeply appreciates you taking a moment out of your day to secure their boat! When I first started watching your channel I had a feeling you two guys were just good people. It's nice to know I was right period God bless be safe and keep warm!

    So . . . two amazing coincidences here ! My wife and I spent the night in the beautiful Lockhouse at Lock 42 in Marsworth @ 7:00 in the video. The wonderful couple who lets this beautiful home on Air BNB, served us an amazing English breakfast in the morning, and after, we walked down to the three reservoirs. I met some fisherman there who informed me these were used to supply water to the canal, which very much intrigued me. That morning, we then drove down to Blackwater Meadow Marina situated in Ellesmere, where we picked up our Hire Boat from ABC Boat Hire, to sail up the Llangollen Canal to Wales. The people at ABC were FANTASTIC!. About 2/3rds of the way up, we too, encountered a Narrowboat pulled away from one of its' mooring pins, and we pulled to the side and re-tied the boat, pounding their loose pin back into the mud. The following morning I awoke, turning 60 years old, and celebrated by crossing the amazing Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a memory which will live forever as one of the very best days of my life. Thanks so much Shaun and Colin for this one, it brought back wonderful memories of my first-ever Narrowboat experience, (cooking spaghetti, watching Downton Abbey, touring Chirk Castle, crossing through two tunnels, aquaducts and locks) an experience I hope to enjoy again as soon as we are finally over this health crisis.
