I have just stumbled across this video and I have brilliant memories from my childhood travel from 1 Lock to Athlone and I would love to cycle it I’m just wondering if the paths are in good shape to travel on Any information you can give me I would be great full Many Thanks 🙏 John

Hi H&M, We passed on Saturday morning outside Carrick on Shannon. We were on a a Linsen from Carrickcraft heading towards Carrick and you guys were heading south; I think it was just before Jamestown. My wife spotted the boat name, 'Driftwood,' just after you passed. Marge was waving, I think. Anyway, it was great to see you on the water, after all the videos we've watched. All the best, Sean.

great video thanks Guys - was only thinking of one also

Thanks from Tukey😊

I'm looking to buy a boat soon, I have no experience, where do I start? We're from Cork but we live near Portumna so hoping to dock one there and use it with the kids before they get too old,

Great video guys.Any advice on 3night cruise from Banagher.Went athlone etc the last time looking at Lough derg this time.Portuma seems to be my issue with the swing bridge opening times.

What’s happened to you guys?

Love the content, geat for first time boaters like my self to get your knowledge

It’s May 24th, 7:35pm. Did you guess just pass the Carrickcraft Jetty in Carrick-on-Shannon ?

Really enjoyed your video. Easy explanation of inverter installation, lean, clean, no frills and fluff. Well done guys! Cheers from west coast America!

Garry Kennedy lovely place.

It’s opened again FYI

Brilliant stuff guys

The canopy looks great. When I bought my Nauticus 22, I didn't think I would use the cover much but it's permanently up. Great for when it's windy, wet, hot or cold! My cover is getting near the end of its days so I'm researching ideas as I'd like to have a go at redesigning the frame to make boarding easier. Great accents too.

Really miss your blogs

This is really awesome, I love abandoned canals, there's one near my place the ohio erie canal .

Thanks for another great video. I live up this part of the country and was always wondering what the pot was for. You videos are great and very well put together. Could I ask how you put them together i.e. software, music etc. I'm want to do something similar for a history project I'm working on. Thanks. Sean

by any chance you are still using this one? or can you recommend a latest model/brand that has same function ? i have friend who has wifi 200++meters away - he can let me connect (not possible for p2p) hope to hear from you sir

I feckin love mountshannon, one of Ireland's most beautiful places.

Missed you guys.

I wish I discovered your channel sooner! I was looking for cruising videos on the Shannon as I was a bit blue from my boating holidays there just this first week of September (you were right, we had a beautiful weather with 25 degrees). It would have been really helpful to have all your tips on the hidden & beautiful spots between Carrick-on-Shannon and Athlone. We rented a boat just for 4 days but what a blast it was. Definitely keep your channel in my KZbin subscriptions for our next boating adventures (hopefully next year).

thanks for all the video, we used this great insight to plan our passage from Carrick to Lough Key (day 1), from Lough Key to Roosky (day 2), Roosky to Grange (day 3) and then back to Carrick (day 4). Our cruise was Monday to Friday of last week and the weather was the best this year (2023). we were a bit apprehensive about going thru that small gap to get to Grange, but it was the best part of the cruise - a very special place

Like that now August 2023

Loved the vid, why were you worried about nets below the lock/dam?

Love the blog, very interesting and informative

Theres Something I just love about the canals,I've done nearly all of the rivers and lakes but I yearn every time to get back on the canals and of course the river Barrow.

I’m literally seeing pics from outside my estate

As someone who lives in Sallins, YEAHHHH

You know you guys should be grant aided by Irish Tourism you are that good .

Thanks guys for showing us part of the Shannon not many people see, great video I was rather nervous of what you were doing but you got there safely. Thanks again .

I just love your videos I swear to god! never stop please, I’m always watching the old to new ❤ thanks folks

I went down to the Shannon estuary in 1995 before the development and mobile phones. I never knew anything. I followed a workboat through the barrier they notified the lock in Ardnancrusha. I waited at anchor till Balls bridge looked deep enough and low enough. I anchored then and went ashore to explore Limerick. I spent 2 nights at anchor in the estuary. No echo sounder.Going back I tied up below the lock at Ardnacrusha. I could not get an ones attention at the lock or dam. I walked across fields went to a house they phoned the lock who let me through. Ignorance is bliss. My father and his friends never went below killaloe bridge.

An absolutely fabulous video about part of the Shannon navigation system that most people would never get to see really enjoyed this one guys thanks .

Great advise from two people with experience and know what they are talking about.

Thank you for another interesting and enjoyable video. I first went on the grand canal in either 1958 or 57. The C.I.E. boats were still running. I remember as clear as anything, with my sister, on early clear dewy mid September morning hearing the thump of the engine and eventually she passed smoke from her chimney, smell of bacon frying, man in long coat and cap at the tiller staring ahead, water running from her cooling and then the noise echoing for ages. It was a completely different country.

Welcome back we’ve really missed you both.Know you were taking a break from KZbin are you back go good .Hope we are going to more of you and Harry and Marion hope you keeping well.Thank you for sharing.Hope to see you again.GodBless.👍👍👍💟💟💚💟💟💚💚

Great to see you back again!

Hi Harry and Marion. Great to see another video. Learned a few facts as well, especially about the original plan to cross the Liffey. Something similar was in place at Monastervan originally before the aquaduct. Just some observations on the rail elements of your video. The railway at Sallins is the Dublin Heuston to Cork railway and the first section if that opened from Heuston (then Kingsbridge of course) to Cherryville Jct. which is the junction for the Waterford line on the 4th August 1846, not 1883 as in the video.

Great video... Thanks for sharing this... Cheers from Portugal

So great to see you guys back.. We have been waiting for this for like 8 months! Thank you!!

Like everyone else, it's so great to see the both of you back again and looking well! We were worried about you. A barge is nice and all, but I still prefer your own Driftwood. Can't wait to see more.

Great to see you back folks. Marion must have revelled in the flat waters of the canal. 😀 Funny the Green & Silver came up. I have just packed the book of the same name away preparing for a bit of painting.

Great to see the two of you again. I’ve missed your videos - keep them coming - I can’t tell you how much inspiration I’ve taken from them.

Ah great to see another video!

Janey Mac. That was a great video 😊

A lovely video . Thanks for sharing 👍

Great to see you both back on the water.

Great to hear and see you back. Me and the kids were wondering when you be back.❤

Great to see you back on KZbin -- thanks, a really good video 👍

Thanks very interesting 👍 nice Barge 😊
