A Haunted Canal! Carnforth to the end of the Lancaster Canal by Narrowboat - Ep. 53

Is this the most haunted canal? We head from Carnforth to the end of the Lancaster as our canal boat diaries continue by narrowboat.
We travel from Hest Bank by Morecambe Bay, through Bolton-Le-Sands, into Carnforth. After our plans for overnight mooring were thwarted we carry on to Capenwray and stop off at the very creepy Capenwray Arm before we arrive at the end of the navigable Lancaster Canal at Tewitfield.
Is it the most haunted or are we just soft lads?

Came here for the peace and tranquilty your vids give me. But stayed for the bravery and honesty regarding your mental health. Episode 9 was a game changer for me. Finally someone has put into words how I feel on a daily basis. I've been able to show my partner your vlog and say "this is how I feel, this is what my brain does when things get too much, when I get too many inputs" But not only that but your insight has given me insight, what I need, what I should do to start trucking through life. So thank you so much!

Aww, thanks Richard! I'm really glad a lot of people took a positive from it. x

[@Phantomthecat]

Question guys that this video made me think about - maybe for your next Q and A? What are your thoughts on the amount of narrow boats on the system - are there too many? Or only in some places? With what looks like quite a few companies making decent amounts of new boats, where’s the tipping point before you can’t get around the system any more without struggling all the time? As always, love your work - Gav.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Great question. The number of boats is rising, but only very gradually.

[@deelaing682]

Hey Terry 👋 Yeah, the M6 was really noisy but still a nice spot. x

[@fastmower]

Top job on the effects for the Capernwray Arm section! I worked as a ranger on the canal a few years back and that was one of my favourite bits of it - proper backwoods feel to the place. I live not fifty yards from the cut in Carnforth - I'll give you a wave if I see you, but might draw the line at following you along the towpath and stopping every time you look round...:-)

I didn't know anything at all about the canal system in England until finding this channel. Being aboard a narrowboat seems like an idyllic life to choose. Hopefully the plans to maintain and upgrade the canals continues to go forward so that there is room for all who choose it.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@andrewhaines8603]

We stopped in the Capenwray back in the early eighties when we were teenagers. Only boat there for days. Looks a lot busier these days! Moorings have always been an issue. That's why the Northern reaches needs to open. The canal is just too busy for such a "short" canal.

[@andymoore9977]

Opening the Northern Reaches would be amazing - Kendal then onto Windermere!. But would it just attract more traffic? Making the approaches even busier?

[@FoxesAfloat]

It is quite busy at the moorings. Wouldn't be so bad if the dredged some of the suitable spots to allow more mooring spaces. Would be even better to reopen the whole 14 miles of the north! x

[@FoxesAfloat]

I think it would be easily managed because it can still only be accessed by the Ribble, hence you get a steady flow back and forth. x

My parents retired to Slyne, next door to Hest Bank very near the house with direct access to the canal. I've spent many happy hours walking and cycling alongside the Lancaster Canal. There is a fantastic 2nd hand book shop in Carnforth and it was the home of the Flying Scotsman (Steam Town) for many years. I believe that the Lancaster is the longest stretch of canal in the UK without any locks? It's a pity that they lost the section into Kendal when the M6 was built. Thank you for the video it brings back many happy memories.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yeah, we cover that in next week’s vlog. You’re right about it being a long way without locks!

[@karenjaques3937]

This is a little bit spooky. Many years ago I visited Sizergh Castle at Kendal. A beautiful castle ( Royalist) but Oliver Cromwell and his modern army had taken over the dungeons and basement and spied on the royalists through spy holes in the partitioned panelled walls. They even had a tapestry with the roundheads eating roasted meat in the lower kitchen. They were secretive. Another stately home near Carnforth was named Ellis. Now abandoned and fully intact. Supposed to be Catherine Parr's home but she died before it was actually built. I researched battle sites for a hobby. One such battle was Gettysburg. According to American history books Major Cromwell and Colonel Ellis both Union Soldiers were killed at Devils Den. Ellis was apparently involved in Ellis Island. Shipping immigrants to the USA by ship. ( slave trade?) ( In my fathers house are many mansions!!!) Now the history is being altered on the internet to cover up past history. Amazing what was really going on at Carnforth and Glasson. Spooky barely scratches the surface. 💘 and best wishes from Arizona 🇺🇸.

[@jlavre]

Thanks for an lovely episode. This is balsam for the soul 👍🏻 Being a sailor, I'm curious; why don't you moore alongside another boat in the canal. Especially when there is ample room for this. Also, I have seen some boats having big poles onboard to help out those difficult moorings (i.e; to have the boat stay a few feet out of the "jetty"). Just curious, since I have no experience of canal boating. Maybe you two fellows could make an episode of good canal seamans ship and etiquete of boat canalling. So far, I have not seen anyone doing an episode like this. Love ya.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hey Jørn! 👋 My ASD means I get really stressed at noise and being so close to another boat would bring this on. I really need to be alone, away from other boats and in a peaceful surrounding. x

The Lancaster is one of those that most just want to tick off mainly because of the Ribble crossing or that its the northern most point but your vlog has shown us all how valued this waterway should be.

It's a gem! It's not perfect but it's positive far outweigh the negatives. I could permanently moor on this canal! x

[@patriciastalb2334]

I like the outtakes! Your music is cool, too.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you Patricia xx

Great Vlog, Lancaster Canal 200 years old this week,

And she's stunning for her age! Really pleased to be on here for the bicentenary 👍🏻

14:00 Sailed past the 'Arm' many years ago and felt as if there were like 100s of eyes glaring at us. I wondered if it were something supernatural but others thought it was liveaboards 'sending us on our way'.

Ha haa! Not just me then? 👻

The scenery is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for taking us with you! Dillon is so cute. I love his curly ears 😊 You are both so lovely and funny. I love watching your vlogs x

Awww, we love you too Mandy! Yeah, he's just had his hair cut because it was getting a bit thick and it's getting warm so it makes him more comfortable. x
