You have the uncanny ability to make literally ALL your content equally compelling!

Even seeing an empty canal has a fascination about it, all the history and what its seen yet now destined to make more memorable time for years to come .xx

I was counting how many times Amy said nice at the start of the video but I lost count. You are a great history teacher Amy :)

Hi guys great vlog, a stop lock is usually where two canals join they jealously guarded their water, and a gauging lock is where they would have checked the boat for draughty for the purpose of extracting tolls, happy spring cruising x

The Canal is an old feeder, the original plan was to make it just a feeder, no boats, it's an old chalk stream. They realised at the time that the cost difference to dig it right out and make it navigable wasn't much different.

The idea of restoring the last four miles of that canal section really floats my boat!

The grassy knoll. Reminds me of Windows XP. 😁

Happy for hire boat season? Having just been 14d on the water I already despise novice hire boaters, especially the drunk ones - and that after having hired the boat ourselves. But it was funny waving twice to you - at both sides of Braunston! Now I'm sad our holiday is over and we had to leave Audouin's Gull behind!

I went to School in Wendover (John Colet) and used to walk home along the canal to my little village in Weston Turville, so pleased to see it’s finally being restored to its former glory!

‘a shilling per ounce’ classic! You two are brilliant!

The reason for the " Twisty " brick bridges is for strength , much stronger than straight brick .

It’s actually Cows Resting in the fields

It's amazing how Amy can conjure up historical knowledge just by looking down and slightly to the side. What a fascinating technique.

You guys truly are just Nerds. And THANK YOU! Love all the info, and I never would have been able to see the “inside” of a canal. Again, thanks.

[@Allotment_life]

I enjoyed seeing what an empty canal looks like! Thanks for sharing

[@dawnoakley1776]

I love your vloggs👌 and your background music is amazing!!!❤

[@mazack00]

History time with Amy is always a treat! Really hope you guys get to see more of that arm when it's opened up. Far future episode? :o

[@joanneabel7240]

This said with much love... Wes, I think it was because the vlog began with some yummy food for Mr Dupes, but your outfit made me think of a giant carrot!!!! 😂😂😂❤

Amy your hair is gorgeous. Love all your sheep neighbors
