I think the old bridges right by a lock is probably one of the best image I have of English canals. I love the old bridges too. But next to each other is my favorite image.

enjoying your stuff very much - the locks may be boring to you because you have done thousands - but a huge fascination to many of your viewers I think - well done

Thank you. Plenty of locks done slower in previous videos.

England so pretty. Wish I was there. Love the music💖

Another great vlog, I can't wait until may next year when I go on Holiday on the cannel for a week.

Thank you. Have a good holiday. :-)

lovely video...haunting music, I was looking for the flying saucer .

Thanks Phil, never get tired of watching these.

lets agree to disagree - doubt I am alone in this viewers view - the more lock works we see the happier we are - but hey what do I know - keep it coming

No shortage of nice moorings there.

Great job thanks

Lovely video 😊

Another nice trip. If you have any funny, scary, weird stories to tell about your canal life or stories you have heard it would be interesting, to me, to listen while you cruise along. Peace.

Thank you. I will probably do things like that as separate videos in their own right. I have to add voice-overs at the editing stage because my engine is too noisy to record my voice whilst I am actually moving along.

Some questions... I wonder if you can assist... Where did the towpath go as you cruise thru and after Somerton? Many years ago (50+) I recall a huge complex of buidings adjoing the canal close to or nearby Somerton Deep lock... A very copiuos cobbled courtyard maybe 30 yards along the canal with a range of stables and boxes about 20 yards back from the waters edge.. A fully working forge... A number of accomodation buildings and cart barns. No road access as I recall. I have some old photos .. Have these buildings all gone? Later of course The USAF would fly at canal boat roof height at sub sonic approach to Heyford air base. Other times..same canal Oh and... Does the canal lock onto the river at any point? I seem to recall it did.

Thanks for the video. Nice work. From which website is your map image with the canal and bridges, etc? Cheers.

Google Earth - but I added all the canal features myself as these are not shown normally.

Yes they know. They won't fix it until it gets really bad, or fails.

I noticed that you pulled the boat through after letting the water out of one of the locks. I seldom see this, but I would think it would be faster than getting back in the boat, motoring out of the lock, and mooring downstream of the lock. How do you decide whether to motor out, or just pull the boat?

It's usually quicker and easier to pull the boat out by hand when you're on your own. If there's another boat coming I just motor out.

Time lapse less relaxing than regular
