I've never visited these branches of the Grand Union, and I am really enjoying your trips. Look forward to your future adventures. In the meantime, I'll catch up with some of your older ones.

I remember biking in the Dales in the 70's, before Hawes became a tourist trap. On a busy Saturday there might be 6 or 7 bikes parked in the main street at the most, not the dozens you see now. And the Ure is pronounced "Yor", as in Yorkshire. York was Jorvik - "the town on the Yor".

Hello, Loved the video, it’s interesting to see people’s reaction to the tunnel on their 1st passage. It does get quite low. 31 minutes is my personal record but that time we were the only boat going South. Sorry for being pedantic but the junction at Hardings Wood (Kidsgrove) is with the Hall Green branch of the T&M. The Macclesfield joins that branch at Hall Green stop lock, 1.5 miles to the north. The T&M were paranoid, to say the least of other waterways joining their canal so built branches out to meet the newcomers and therefore able to charge ridiculously high tolls on them. The worst example of which is further down the canal at Middlewich where the 100yd Wardle Lock branch connects with the Shropshire Union’s Middlewich branch. Happy and safe cruising, Paul
@narrowboatemerald355811 ай бұрын
