I had my doubts that a 22-minute video inside a tunnel would be interesting, but you proved me wrong. I smiled the whole way through - as I do with all your videos. Your delight and wonder are infectious (in the best possible way) and your authenticity, kindness, and humour shine through all your videos. Congrats on your excellent work, Mike. Carry on - and happy holidays from a fellow Vancouverite. 🙂

The most amazing part of the story is a 12 year old boy having the responsibility to walk across the Pennines four times a day in all weathers for 37 years!!! These stories should never be forgotten, as this great country was built on the back these people and they were a different breed!!!

[@martinwhenmouth3977]

What a brilliant youtube description. We came from New Zealand in 2019 and spent 5 weeks on the UK canal system. We also travelled through the tunnel twice, because the Southern Peninne Ring route was not able to be traversed because of lock closures on the Rochdale canal. I had to steer the narrowboat through each way, the first time our chaperone was Trevor and the return journey was with Alaister. Great to see Trevor again. The Canal & River Trust guys are such a dedicated and knowedgeable bunch. I wonder if Trevor is still driving his MGB?

[@yoshiclubcaptainfeerick7750]

How long did it take you to go through the tunnel? I heard it was an hour and a half. What an experience!

Everyone I know who has done a UK canal holiday has loved it . I'm looking forward to experience one next time we're in the UK.

[@kencase2179]

Mike, that was amazing! I previously knew about the canals in the UK via other KZbinrs and of course your narrowboat series. However, I didn't know about this tunnel. Amazing ride and how they accomplished building the tunnel!!! If it took you guys 2.5 hours to go through the tunnel, I can't imagine how long it took for the men to leg a narrowboat along. Thanks for bringing us on this wonderful narrowboat adventure. I can't wait to see your next series!

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

The train, the British canals' killer, coexisting side by side with the canal...the peace we love to see. Maybe the shortest route is not always the easiest, but the fact they built it anyway showed their dedication to a thriving canal. I like the more natural part of the tunnel without reinforcements, it just looks cooler that way. Definitely beautiful. Quite a brilliant feat that they managed to do this canal tunnel More info on the railway tunnels, they were built by the London and North Western Railway, the ancestor of the West Coast Main Line, for their line between Huddersfield and Manchester. The Huddersfield Line is now operated by services like TransPennine Express and Northern Trains, and cargo like DB Cargo UK.

[@MrFrankhdgs]

I remain amazed by these canals and their boats. But, this longest, deepest, highest, tunnel canal was absolutely incredible. Thank you, once again, for bringing us along, to experience this journey, with you. Now, I have a new Bucket List item.

[@robindevoh]

I've seen this tunnel in another video and your video made me love it all over again. Your inquisitive nature, saying/asking the right things to open up the people you're with, and your sheer joy and appreciation is super wholesome to see. I also love how incredibly eager these gentlemen are in sharing everything -- opening up the battery compartment, all the stories they tell. Love it!

[@CanadianCardPickers]

That’s super cool! Love the folks that took you along they were so knowledgeable and friendly

[@sircharlesmormont9300]

I'm impressed by the attention to safety that has been exhibited throughout the journey. There were always volunteers or paid staff there to help boaters at key points - and friendly boaters along the way. It didn't feel as though you were ever just cast adrift to sink or swim. The canals seemed well maintained, too. The time, attention, and funds that go into preserving that canal system make it clear how highly Brits seem to value it. As an American, I am jealous. I've been to many state and national parks, here, and the most hands-on approach to safety I've seen are posted signs, paper-and-pencil checkpoints along backpacking trails, expensive paid guided tours, and, once, in Yosemite, a required video about bears. Our attitude seems to be to say: "Good luck and watch out for the bears!" The fact that you had professional helpers at key points is amazing!

[@nevillemason6791]

The amount of safety through the tunnel might seem excessive to some but a few years back someone died in a shorter tunnel elsewhere. He banged his head on the tunnel roof when stood at the rear of the barge. He fell off the back while his wife was at the front. She soon realised he was missing but couldn't find him in the pitch dark. Police divers eventually found his body. Hence the reason if you take your own boat through it's mandatory to have a Canal & River Trust 'chaperone'.

[@julievanderleest]

That looks like both a fun and exciting experience along with a slightly terrifying experience. I can’t imagine how hard it would be for those men to use their feet to push their way through for that long. That’s pretty incredible.

[@schwags1969]

Well they are British, need I say more. Ingenuity at its finest. 1841 must have been a hard time for the people who dug those tunnels.

[@mayfleur36]

Coal miners often would work 12 - 14 hours a day on their backs or their sides, as they’d only have between 36 or 40 inches squared, working away with the pick axe. So, y’all can pretty much imagine how much upper body strength they acquired 😮

[@schwags1969]

Something peaceful and relaxing about watching canal boat videos, the pace just slows down. I love it.

[@sandraoettle1476]

I've watched other KZbin narrowboating content creators go through this tunnel. It never gets old! And your enthusiasm is your particular uniqueness I enjoy. I would absolutely take a through tunnel tour boat guide from the Canal Trust. Especially if they had a geologist. I've never seen the natural rock of the tunnel highlighted that way. Fascinating!

[@nidgehart]

I’ve stood and stared at the entrance to that tunnel many a time. And just find it an incredible piece of engineering-extraordinary! Can you even imagine someone saying, ok guys, dig me a tunnel please, by hand, three miles long. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for the video experience- fabulous!!

If you build it, they will come. In this case, DownieLive! But seriously, this is amazing! They knew this would be the shortest canal route option and understood it would take a lot of work to build under the Pennines, but they took the risk and did it anyway. And you get a free shower too as a bonus for going through it! You're right, it DOES look like modern art...canal builders did modern art before it was cool! 😂 What a great bonus for the canal series, Mike! History, geology, and just magic!

I feel like, even if I wasnt already interested in narrow boats, I would still watch this video. Seeing the CRT people loving what they are doing makes it that much more enjoyable. Really loved it when the dude got soaked with the water and was just laughing. You could tell he enjoyed his work. It would also be really interesting to watch a demonstration of someone legging a boat, at least part way through a tunnel like that.

[@thecrazyhobo]

I didn't even know about these canals until these videos (I'm American), but now I'm obsessed! It looks like a lot of fun! Also, I was looking into the prices for renting one of these and they're actually pretty affordable. I've been planning a UK trip for a long time and this is definitely going on the list. I'd love to do this tour, too. The volunteers that put the work into keeping these canals working and well-maintained are just as commendable as those who originally built them. Also, I could hang out with those guys all day listening to the history. There's such an interesting history behind them that I didn't even know about until this video series. Thanks for sending me down this narrow boat rabbit hole, Downie! 😆

[@nevillemason6791]

Volunteer organisations are the ones who bring the disused canals back to life but the canal system is maintained by paid staff of The Canals & Rivers Trust. There's quite a lot of serious civil engineering involved, for instance, when canal banks collapse or renewing of lock gates in solid oak (they only last 25 to 30 years). All boat/barge owners pay an annual licence that goes to funding this work.

[@smithywfc]

Had a smile on my face the whole time watching this. Those Yorkshire lads are knowledgable!

[@PaulCashman]

What an amazing tunnel and amazing journey! The native rock really IS gorgeous, and the old brickwork not far behind.

[@Brookspirit]

Who needs TV when there are great presenters making excellent shows like this on youtube!

[@MeltWithU]

Watching these videos is truly bringing out the kid in me again. Something about the tunnels and bridges, and then the incredibly blissful look on your face as you were experiencing it. If these videos aren’t enough to let the rest of the world know that they need to squeeze every little last bit of juice out of that orange of life. To never take any second for granted, and make every moment count. None of us know how long we have on this earth, and there is no time like the present to go out and experience the world step-by-step. If you can’t fly or sail to the UK to experience what you see in these videos, then simply go down to your local park or conservation area and experience nature around you, through the eyes of your inner child. Every second of every day is another blessing… Use it to your advantage, and don’t let anything get in the way of your own experience. I always say… live life every day as if it was your last and love like it was your first… carpe diem and make it extraordinary.
