55- Exploring The Beauty Of Glasson Basin

[@shardlake]

Watching this one again, just to see the lovely scenery from when we were allowed out - Lancaster Canal looks lovely, well worth the Ribble Link trip :)

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Aww, we loved Glasson Basin and spent a week there. Definitely we’ll worth a visit and the trip down the locks! We loved the Lancaster Canal too. We can’t understand how some people only seem to spend 2 weeks doing the whole canal, we took 7 weeks and could have stayed longer. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

MUSCOVY DUCKS YOU SAW...LOVELY SCENERY AGAIN...LOVE GOING DOWN TO GLASSON DOCKS...

We loved Glasson Docks and stayed there for a whole week! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

Thank you for taking me along with you. I am envious. Here in the USA everyone is speeding along in a motorhome on the freeways, and they miss a lot of the little things along the way. In a narrow boat it’s the journey and not the destination. Great video.

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Michael W. Salter - Hi Michael, that’s what we always say, it’s the journey that counts not the destination. We did consider A Motorhome but didn’t do it for exactly those reasons, we would still be in the Rat Race!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Alpaccas! :D I soo envy you.

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Roy Mottershead - many thanks Roy, we are both great, hope you’re good. Loving our journey so far. The Ribble Link return was a bit hairy to say the least. Will be out in a couple of weeks. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@patriotu.s.a6846]

Love the scenery😍

Corinne Lapenes - It saw great wasn’t it!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@dabois8845]

It was a Muschovy variety of duck that you saw

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Thanks Elizabeth, I did look them up afterwards. Did look like a turkey though 😂. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@maureenbyrne6278]

Loved this vlog. Lancaster canal is such a beautiful one. Never been into Glasson so was good to see. Safe onward journey peeps.

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Maureen Byrne - Hi Maureen, it was only a small village, but had some lovely walks and scenery!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@cazw179]

Keep seeing Silver Fox 😉. Dunworkin pops up in their videos too. 😁. Nice you are keeping each other company en route. I love watching both journeys. x

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Carole Webster - Hi Carole, yes we came over on the Ribble Link together and kept leapfrogging over each other, as well as mooring next to each other. We had a great time!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@billhall8745]

I came across your videos with the Hest Bank one. On that one you said there were no locks on the Lancaster canal. I am pleased to see that you found them. What a pity it would have been having traveled the distance you have to have missed out on Glasson. I'm enjoying your videos

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Aww, thank you Bill. Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs. 🤣😂, we did know that the Lancaster had locks down to the Glasson docks. I probably meant on the main canal! Anyway, we loved the Glasson basin and stayed there for a week. Great sunrises! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

[@billhall8745]

@@ournarrowboatquest4894 I was moored in Glasson marina at one time for about six months. It was certainly different with all the seagoing boats when it was windy with all the ropes slapping and bells clanging.

[@carolrayfield2275]

Hi you two 👋thanks for sharing with us. Excellent filming of those beautiful views. So many different shades of green and every bridge looked different from the last one. Love it .👍xxx

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Carol rayfield - Hi Carol, there were some great views and Glasson basin was beautiful. Hopefully see you soon!! 🥰xx

[@carolrayfield2275]

Such a lovely time; thanks for the video. Lovely to have a journey through the beautiful English countryside!

[@jiloute22]

Hello to you two, the ducks you saw are in french "canard de Barbarie", very beautiful region that you visit, my friendships to you

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Hello Jean-Louis, lovely Lancashire, some beautiful countryside, and the ducks were great too!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👋

[@junepercival418]

Muscovy ducks!

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

June Percival - Yes, I did look them up afterwards! They were great! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@berniebne8243]

Thank you for the video. Although I spent a lot of time walking & cycling around Lancaster when I lived there. I never really appreciated just how beautiful the countryside is around there.

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Bernie BNE - Hello Bernie, I don’t think that we ever appreciate the area that we live. Great walking and cycling country though! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@Tnapvrvideo]

@ 11:40, you pass a marina with many power boats. Are they also held to the 5mph maximum speed limit on the canals? I think I join everyone, and, of course, yourselves, in feeling that it is the slow speed limit that makes this entire experience so spectacular. It really is special. Enjoy!

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Travel Seekers - Thank you, yes the speed limit is 5mph maximum for all boats. With regards to narrow boating we always say that it’s all about the journey and not the destination. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

Walk down the path on vlog at 19.21 to the stork pub . Good food 😁

What a lovely canal. You both look very relaxed. Keep safe.

Thomas James Tannian - It’s a great canal Thomas, we loved it! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@patevans1048]

Looks like you had some good weather, not been out on our boat for 3 weeks, storms every day, almost 60 inches of rain for the year!

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

James Evans - Hi James, yes finally some English sunshine. ☀️ Don’t send the rain over here though, we’ve had enough for the time being 🤣😂. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Tim - Thanks Tim, glad you enjoyed the journey. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@peterkay8073]

When you where looking over the river that was the railway line to Lancaster. The wreck in the marina at glasson was a home to some guy who was supposed to have gone away and when he came back his boat had sunk. Some locals fishing furnished that bit of info. Smoke house is a corking place but a bit pricey. If you're there again go to the top of the hill and you get a great view from the south lakes down to Blackpool.

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Peter Kay - Hi Peter, we did cycle up to Lancaster from the basin, it was a lovely ride, almost all off road. We picked up our information from the local pub! 🤣. We did buy some produce from the Smokehouse as you said, a bit pricey. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Oh, and I did take a walk up the hill to see the views across to Blackpool!

[@Q-ey2jk]

Love it

Tony hood - Thanks Tony👍

[@SCCFORUM]

Great Vlog and fantastic views.

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

SCCFORUM - Thanks, Glasson basin was great! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@SCCFORUM]

@@ournarrowboatquest4894 It was great to see sail boats and narrowboats in the same area. It would be very cool to moor up the narrowboat and jump on a Sailing vessel and nip over to the IOM. Looking forward to your next video.👍🏻 All the best, Paul.

[@silashouse1054]

Some great shoots on this trip. john-NZ

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Silas House - Some great views too! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@gonegoozling9034]

Deep cutting is lovely isn't it? The Muscovy ducks are always there, just south of Lancaster :). Sadly the Smokehouse had a bad warehouse fire recently and lost a lot of stock :(

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Gone Goozling - It was lovely, and quite cool, it was good to get back out in sun. ☀️ I did see a post on Facebook about the fire, such a shame! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@easyglide301]

Looks like you were there same time as Silver Fox

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

easyglide - Yes, we came over the Ribble Link together, so spent a lot of time with them. Great guys!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@papapa9106]

it's not a university town Lancaster is a City

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Yes, it’s a city but it does have a university with lots of student accommodation. Although I believe in the vlog I do mistakenly call it a town! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

[@10wanderer]

Glasson Dock has a dark history, it.s linked to slavery !

[@10wanderer]

that sounded like a Pun ?

[@ournarrowboatquest4894]

Peter Mcintosh - As do the docks of Liverpool, London and Bristol! Glasson was small by comparison. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
