You are a wonderful couple to watch, never been particularly interested in canal boating, but you are making me appreciate more of what our great country has to offer, and makes me really want to go and do a nice extended holiday cruise at some point!

[@catherine3902]

Lovely seeing this and hearing your comments. Way back in 1984 until 1987 we moored our cruiser on the Lancaster Canal, as the plans for the Ribble Link were going ahead. We often cruised to Tewitfield and, I have to say, it never looked like this when we were there. The restoration of the northern reaches might happen one day. We live in hope.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Maybe one day! Slow going so far though.

[@thorsteinj]

If they could build the entire M6 in 10-12 years surely they could rebuild the Lankie in notime - to Kendal, even lake Windermere and beyond! It's all about priorities, which is driven by awareness... and that seems to grow each year thanks to the amazing work of all the volunteers and employees in various canal trusts around the country, the CRT itself and of course all the amazing vlogs/channels on the internet, including this one! (To put things into perspective: The M6 to A74(M) extension north of Carlisle to the Scottish border cost £174m, for 10-ish km of motorway, which opened in 2008)

[@mandellaedwards5400]

That’s us caught up with all your vlogs now - blame Kev @ Bickerstaffe. Thank you, you make us laugh, and you make us cry (occasionally at the same time). Love the narrative, adore the fabulous cinematography and feel so privileged to be sharing in the journey. We’re counting down until our time on the cut and can’t wait.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hi Mandella (cool name)! 👋 Are you buying a boat from Bickerstaffe? x

[@mandellaedwards5400]

Now you've just asked the $64000 question. Are we buying a Bickerstaffe? You know when you’re 100% convinced you’re going to buy secondhand, and then you step on to a boat that’s just perfect? That was us at Crick this year with both the Bickerstaffe Boats. So we’re going out on a training weekend on the Katie K to be sure, then we just have to persuade Kev we’re worthy of one of his creations ....... Glad you like my name, if you ever meet another Mandella, please let me know!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks guys! x

[@paca_bill4863]

The history lesson is very cool; it gives a great perspective on how long the canal system has been in place. The fact that it is still around (for the most part) is a testament to how history is treated in Great Britain versus in the US. Unless it's sacred ground or a historical park, we bulldoze it over and build on it. And the fact that the US really came of age during the automotive revolution greatly limited the canal system use here in the states; on the other hand, RV's are popular here. I think that's one of the reasons why we watch these videos - it's a source of a holiday fantasy, per se.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks, Bill! Happy to share the glorious canal system that's our home! x

Colin and Shaun, I have never written a “fan” email/letter before, and frankly, have never used KZbin much at all. Recently, I was looking at KZbin and came across one of your more recent vlogs. I was really taken with your openness, your knowledge of life on a narrowboat, and especially your most interesting commentary while traveling the canals. The two of you have great synergy. I, too, was impressed with Colin’s frankness about his mental health! In any case, I became so interested that I subscribed to your vlog (only subscription I have on KZbin) and have started at the beginning with your first vlog and am following them in numerical order. Hopefully, I will catch up before too long!

Thanks for that! I lived in Lancaster (in the late 70's early 80's) and always wondered what the "end" of the canal looked like and how easy it might be to reconnect it to Kendal. Let's hope it is connected in your life time, eh? :-)

[@FoxesAfloat]

It would be brilliant if they did, Andrew! x

[@PNEKarl]

Wonderful! I loved the history lesson. The Lancaster Canal is a hidden gem. It's great now that the Millennium Link across the Ribble gives access to the rest of the canal network. Let's hope Tewitfield to Kendal gets completed. Thanks for the vlog.

Thanks Karl! Fingers crossed the link is connected soon 🤞🏻

Maybe you should audition for Coast or something similar Colin! Oh, Shaun. You are good too 😂

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hey Ian 👋 I definitely prefer radio, that's where my history is. Thanks for a lovely comment! We've left the Glasson Branch now. 😉

[@TheFilwud]

The Forth and Clyde canal had a similar problem, As a road crossed it at close to canal level the answer was Millenium fund money (I think) and some reconstruction, the canal is locked down then passes under the road then is locked back up on the other side, so the road is still flat. I presume there is a pump to keep water levels correct. As for the shallow water next to the towpath, the Lancaster isn't alone, we have had that problem on quite a few canals over the years. Love your videos, and am following them through in order, I will catch up sooner or later!

[@FoxesAfloat]

You made it to the end and Dylan seems to have a new friend as well. I have faith for the Northern Reaches, the Ribble link took forever to complete too. There is a short spur off the Leeds Liverpool (Walton Summit arm) that was an option for joining the Lancaster at that point but sadly too many obstacles to overcome for it to be a reality. Glasson dock is a place that holds a lot of memories for me (my mum loved the place and was not averse to dragging us kids there whenever she could!!!) and it as scenic as the rest of the Lancaster canal. You two are so funny, love the outtakes 🤣 So James Brindley built the canal 😜 Can't wait for the next installment, I even made popcorn for this one!

Why would you put a thumbs down. Don't do it. What a great series. Bruce.

We love our haters 💜 A dislike counts equally as engagement with the channel and boosts our popularity on KZbin's algorithms 😉

Interesting vlog, I race r/c model cars during summer at canal head in Kendal, as I’m into history I researched the canal and traced its route back to the M6, so it’s great to be able to see the area i was looking at. I think they should fill in the M6 and reopen the canal! TSE

Haha! I totally agree 👍🏻😂
