    I think I’d boat with a small chainsaw to clear the occasional low hanging limb or to assist with making it by downed limbs in the canal. Or does the crt frown at boaters doing this? Thanks for the vlog

    I suppose you could give it ago but quite dangerous with a chainsaw when you are going along. A friend of ours does use loppers as he goes along but not since he was pulled of the back of his boat when they got stuck. If the trees are in people's garden I think it's their responsibility but on the towpath side should be CRT.😊

    You are right it is a beautiful canal. We have tried 3 other times to come onto it but couldn't. Firstly because of covid the lack of water. As they don't open it if there isn't enough water. Lucky for us this year we have had alot of rain.😊

    No the canal water doesn't usually smell but if they haven't been hardly any boats and it is very shallow you can stir up the bottom where the silt is so that can cause a smell.

    Hi Josh & Diana that's fantastic There is so much information about the Basingstoke canal I haven't seen another film yet like yours covering that canal you did so well with all those locks and they look in good condition really the Tunnel has been taken over by Bats as I think they had ideas of going into Basingstoke but the bat protection society said No it would upset the bats just before the tunnel is a pub called the Water witch and has a canal boat in the garden for children to play in !! The annoying thing is the bats move out the tunnel at night for a fly round 🙄. 🏏🏏🏏🏏

    Little known factoid nugget. Many people that live on boats will either empty their poop and wee into the canal or will poop and wee directly in there during the early hours whilst everyone else sleeps 💤. I found this out from people that live on boats in Wiltshire in Devizes and the surrounding villages. DSTM 🤷🏿‍♂️

I regularly wake up at between 3 and 4 and can’t get back to sleep. Do envy Josh sleeping right through! Lots of lovely scenery. My nephews used to go camping on one of those islands near Pangbourne on overnight bug hunts with a bush craft guy. They loved that when they were under 10 years old. You must have so relieved to stop eventually and I’m looking forward to the Basingstoke. I haven’t seen any vlogs on that canal yet. Sleep welll. Take care. Marilynx
