Very interesting thank you. Just a little criticism if you'll allow? As lovely as your heads are... two giant heads filling the screen don't make for a great video - invest in a tripod to keep the camera further away and to show more scenery in the background. Appreciate the info on the old canal, it would be lovely to see it cleared up and made use of again.

Great vlog on visitor centre if only more u tube boaters came here to learn about what was the black country, so much history to learn about, Evan David from c.c. made a fool of himself last year. Standing on Engine lane bridge he was asked a question, As part of a BCNS. 24 HR CHALANGE RALLY, He did not have a clue the question was, why did Thomas Telford like brick BRIDGES?. A simple question, he had not got a clue made a fool of himself So yes the ans, to that and what was the black country can be found inside the visitor centre.

I've been fitting out boats for 20 years can never understand why builders don't put a 2 way switch system in for the water pump, 1 switch in kitchen 1 switch in bathroom, this is how I've done mine, so when you use the kitchen or bathroom you turn the water on when you've finished you turn it off, so many boaters never turn the water off, go to the pub or shopping and come back to an empty water tank and the contents of said tank in the boat, easy to do. Slightly different for you as the water may off prevented a fire, if off hours the main fuse or light circuit fuse had tripped, if it didn't I'd be checking why I'd didn't???

Think the reasoning behind the small rise was explained that CCs use facilities & infrastructure much more than a marina based boat which maybe fair comment? CRT have an uphill battle at some places like Lee navigation as its choked solid with old boats that never move & half with no licence. Downside is it may have opposite effect and see more boats with no licence at all.

Loved the fair with all the different things going on - the boats with their crafts, the bikes and horses - how often are there events like that along the canal? I had been wondering how narrowboats were removed from the water - they are often such long boats. Here in the states, many marinas have one of those boat hoists that lift them out of the water and the hoist itself can move. It's always a bit of a letdown to see all the work the hull needs after just a year or so, but then, you can't see what's happening down there until the boat is out of the water, right? 🙂

@nbwakamatandoto4127 Жыл бұрын
Hi, there’s Events on the canals most weeks during the summer months. Yes some yards here have cranes for lifting boats out too, think I prefer the tractor and trailer! Regular inspection is definitely the key to looking after the hull. Thank you for watching.
