A Tearful Farewell and a New Narrowboat Adventure! Ep. 147.

How are there 1.2K comments already? It’s 3pm in Southern California and you made me cry Colin! I’m a 67 yo wf married to my husband for 40 years. Found your blog and binged it all, became a patron, and now on my second go around. I’ve fallen in love with both of you! You bring so many smiles and different emotions to my life. Colin no one would never know You dont like meeting new people because you are so gregarious and outgoing on the vlog. I’m with you guys through thick and thin. We’re coming within the year to rent a narrowboat for 2 weeks. Thanks for all the history of England. I’m a true Anglophile. Shaun, thanks for loving and supporting Colin the way you do. You guys are the best!! Ps loved all the waterways world articles😊

All compiled within a week on a boat!. Better than many so called mainstream broadcasters with multiple crew and resources. A joy to watch. BAFTA needs to start a KZbin awards category.

When I was about 13 or 14 in the early 70's, my mum worked with the wife of Ted Caveny, who was instrumental in the restoration of the peak forest canal, there's a plaque in his memory somewhere near the macc canal junction. As a result I did a little bit of work helping to dig out Marple locks and as a result, we were invited on the first test run from Marple to Godley and back, this would be 73 or early 74. It took all day and we got stuck in the cutting just after the aqueduct, they had to put a chain across the sides of the hull and wind it in with a screw device to reduce the width of the barge, it was an old working boat and we were all in the cargo space. But we made it, in later years it was my regular commute home from work in Dukinfield to poynton by mountain bike. Keep the vid's coming!!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Amazing!

As a Romiley lad born in the mid 50's 'the canal' between Romiley and Marple was playground of choice for myself and friends. We used to know every inch of the towpath, happy days! I remained in the Stockport area until 3 years ago when I moved to the south coast, near Brighton. Today's episode has brought back many happy memories of the care free childhood days of adventure on and around the canal, I'm sat here with a huge smile on my face and feeling the warmth of all those wonderful memories. Your vlogs are fantastic, so professional yet funny and informative along the way. Great work, long may it continue ... many thanks to you both.

Thanks so much, Stephen! I love it when we bring back memories 👍🏻💜

[@geoffmaycock7043]

Hi guys, myself and Jane discovered the channel about a month ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed lots of the vlogs. Although i have to confess we haven't watched them in order, but personally i find life is much more interesting this way. The cinema was fascinating and took me back to October 2016 when running demolition from what was the Clydebank Cinema. In the Second World War, it survived unscathed the Luftwaffe bombing it during the Clydebank Blitz, but in 2016 had to make way for one of those hideous timber kit block of flats. I took a very sombre picture from the cab of my truck whilst being loaded, and could only feel immensely sad thinking about all the wonder, laughter, and enjoyment tens of thousands of people must have had through the decades in the auditorium. I still have the picture on my phone to this day, if only i could post it on here. As ridiculous as it sounds, i am sure we speak for tens of thousands of viewers, in saying thank you. You both make us feel like family. Kindest regards...

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks so much, Geoff!

[@murdeng]

Just discovered your channel and think its great, I have even got my wife watching you on Amazon Prime. Reminded me of cruising on the Grand Union and Coventry Canals back in the 1960's on my father little cabin cruiser, I think I can remember whole families still living on some of the working boats. Anyway we now live in Gloucestershire and very often walk along the Stroudwater and Sharpness Canal's, there are less hills for to bother our old bodies. Keep up the good work your historic notes and relaxing style are perfectly balanced and if you ever fancy visiting the Sharpness Canal its got plenty of history for you cover.

Nice touch with the curtains opening. I don't know how in hell these little places have stayed afloat (pardon the canal pun). There is an independent cinema that I frequent in Waterloo Ontario called the Princess but I don't know if he is in business anymore or not with all this covid rules. I think these types of theatres are hanging by a thread at the best of times and now of course, as Ontario goes into another 28 day lockdown, it may very well be the nail in the coffin for many of these small businesses. The Princess shows the films that that big box theatres won't show because they don't appeal to the masses. I will sure miss it if it gone. I love these little independent small cinemas. I hope they do well and I hope the locals go out of their way to support it and all small business. They must be hurting.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! I bet they have 😂

[@peterscandlyn]

Another nailed presentation guys, absolutely! That piece on water sluices seems to hold even today with water well drillers, creating a discharge pond, setting up a temporary vee-sluice and calculating the flow with accuracy that is accepted. (Don't know how that works, but there you go, have witnessed.)

[@FoxesAfloat]

Cheers, Peter 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MAdams853]

The v-notch forces the water to go over the weir at a constant speed, regardless of depth. This makes the volume of water calculatable by just reading the depth, as discharge (volume over time) is a function of depth and speed. Studied this at university, very ingenious and even though in modern times sensors and gauges are used as Colin says, a lot of those still rely on the science of old school hydrometrics and v-notch weirs.

That aqueduct is mind blowing. Another top vlog guys. I'm looking forward to the summer cruising you'll be showing us. Keep up the good work guys 👍🏼

Thank you! Will do!

Enjoyed the trip, the conversations, the theater history and the journey down the locks, every bit of it. Beautiful, thank you! Your excellent editorial skills are evident, as always.

Glad you enjoyed it

Wonderful vlog! The cinema was so beautiful - I miss places like that, it would be an experience just to visit it, never mind watch a film there :) The gentleman playing at the end really added something special to the whole vlog - seeing you on the move a little, and having some facts and history about the places you were passing through helped to make it feel as though ‘normality’ (whatever that is) might be seeping back (even if there was a traffic cone wedged in a lock gate!) Hope the pizza was a good one and you enjoyed a well earned rest after all those locks ☺️🐾

Thanks, Maudie!

As usual, I am totally entertained by Colin's guide through the canals. The stopover at the movie theater was marvelous. I only wish I had your ability to remember and speak like you do in your vlogs. I so do love the patter you share. Here's to the Silver Foxii!

Glad you enjoyed it!
