Have you thought of having them looked at by a podiatrist? Sharp edges can perpetually become damaging, if left untreated.

Good thing it's a truck.

@@toyotahontas9296 As if anyone is gonna use this as a "truck"

I don’t have much basis for comparison, but it seemed reasonably maintained. There were various official mooring spots along the way, some of which had water/fuel. Each of our overnight stops was spent at one of these. But the boat also came with stakes that could be driven into the ground along the side of the canal for mooring anywhere the canal was wide enough.

@@jerryryle Thank you.

Supreme Court will say "AI's are people too", so....

Happens anyway, there are thousands of accidents every day. Computer cars won’t drive drunk have medical issues or road rage. Not to mention smelly drivers not speaking English and taking their own routes at will.

stop saying bullshit and use your brain, companies make security their priority, there are people employed who know 2000 times more than you and who's role is to make it safe

They deploy the Gundam.

I'm ok with self-driving cars, but I am actually afraid that they will make it mandatory. I 100% do not support that, because some people enjoy driving themselves.

What would you do if you self driving car freezes while its is on the highway and it just keeps going imagine being late to work because you car had an update imagine someone being able to control you car from a computer and making it drive into the ocean

Good thing is an electric car

First thought was how durable are they

They still do. Why do you think it's limping home?!

Let's see. It's been a few years. First, I recall the ABC Boat Hire people being really helpful in pointing out places to fill up with water and/or overnight, depending upon how ambitious you are. They know the route really well and have helped a lot of visitors, so they're a great resource. Second, note that you _can_ pull over and moor on the side of the canal almost anywhere. You'll have stakes and rope to tie up to the bank. This reduces the pressure to get to official overnight spots. Refilling your water tank might be your biggest limiting factor that drives stops at specific points. I like to take showers and cook/clean, so we stopped for water at least once each day. But there are quite a few places to do so and we never came close to running out. Our first overnight was through a tiny entrance on the right that's really easy to miss, so I'd recommend watching that section of the video a few times (00:12:57). It's right before the aqueduct in this little cove next to a bistro. I don't think the bistro was open when we were traveling, so we didn't try it. Here's the location on Google Maps: goo.gl/maps/6wCA7619ZXNBykth9 Our second overnight (00:29:39) was right after the Almond Aqueduct at this Union Canal Car Park here: goo.gl/maps/LvywMiba3gFFNP7Y8 I believe we made it all the way to Edinburgh by our third evening and we spent the night there (00:45:25). After the Leamington Lift Bridge, there's a long strip of mooring spots leading up to the Lochrin Basin. From here, you can walk into town and enjoy Edinburgh: goo.gl/maps/hq6wVd9hrixJAax19 On the way back, I believe we made it all the way to Linlithgow for the first overnight (01:10:14). goo.gl/maps/S6KhbgnEDkaRcDhQ7 The next day, we made it all the way back down to the boat hire pickup point on the Forth and Clyde Canal. The boat hire was closed by the time we got there, so we spent the last night on the canal and returned the boat the next morning (01:31:15). goo.gl/maps/tskamsCcF59URruv9

@@jerryryle so yours was a 5 night trip? We are doing 4 nights in july. I am hoping to have an overnight and close to a full day in Edinburgh as it is the only time we'll have there on our entire 2 week Scotland trip. but i don't know how we'll make it back to Falkirk by 930am on Day 5.

@@AngelaDuchesnault it was a 7-night trip. I just found the old reservation email and the trip was 23/08/2014 through 30/08/2014. We actually did the 4 night trip in 2013 and did not make it all the way to Edinburgh. We had so much fun that we went back and did the 7-night trip the following year. You might be able to get there and back in 4 nights with very long days of boating, but that sounds a bit grueling and I don’t think you’ll be able to spend much time in Edinburgh. If you want to spend time in Edinburgh, I really recommend the 7 night trip.

Darn! Well at this point I guess we'll just have to skip Edinburgh and come back another year. 😿. Thanks for responding so quickly!

@@AngelaDuchesnault You bet! And sorry, it would appear my timeline was incorrect in the original message you replied to. That message does make it sound like it only took 5 nights, but it was definitely a 7-night trip. I must have been mistaken on how far we made it each day & there were probably 2 extra overnights I missed. Have a wonderful time! If you have as much fun as we did, you'll be back the following year. : )

I replied to your other comment about the overnight stops. As for sights/pubs/restaurants, it's been a number of years and I only vaguely remember all the places we visited. One that stands out was the Tally Ho in Winchburgh (00:24:55): g.page/BarTallyHo?share I think it was mostly memorable because it wasn't the most touristy town so we got some (friendly) looks at the pub since we were obviously not from the area. I remember enjoying the pub because it was pretty low-key. Other than that, I recall Linlithgow (goo.gl/maps/FV7AjFFJrnzphMteA) being a pretty little town with a number of restaurants and pubs. We checked out the Linlithgow Palace (goo.gl/maps/cH7EVodipzUAKAuj9), which was an interesting piece of history in a beautiful area. And, of course, Edinburgh has plenty to offer. :) Have an amazing time!

I think it's still invite-only at the moment, so I'm not sure whether residency matters. I'm afraid I don't authoritatively know though--I just rode along with someone who had an invite. They do have a sign-up page you can try to see if they'll send you more info: www.getcruise.com/ridersignup

Not 3 years. Probably 10. Laws are very slow to change. Which will be needed.

Ill definitely miss normal taxies

Ich stimme zu, dass dies wahrscheinlich erscheint, aber An Mücken kann ich mich überhaupt nicht erinnern.

@@jerryryle umso besser. Welche Länge hat dieses Kanal-Netz ?

@@Franz-X-Bauer Gute Frage. Wir sind über den Union Canal von Falkirk nach Edinburgh gefahren.
