Great Haywood Junction - A Narrowboat Journey on the Trent and Mersey Canal.

[@pootle2768]

The Staffs and Worcester looks like a lovely canal so far. It’s got lovely scenery. Thank you for another wonderful vlog

[@willowgrove631]

I find the tranquility of your videos very grounding after a busy day in London this week - just the job!👍

[@philradnor7701]

Thanks again Phil for a great vlog, good to see Tixall Wide again where I moored up early one January some years ago, cold and frosty but clear blue skies, fond memories. Well done.

[@andylamb3788]

Looks like your alien friends were around Tixall wide Phil lol

[@JCDiamond]

Another great video with great information about services. This is another canal I'd love to see...so peaceful. It's funny about the trains. Here trains are really loud but there were a few times we moored near tracks and really, the trains were not intrusive at all.

[@christopherlussenden3021]

I love your vlogs, they are so tranquil and relaxing. Thank you for making them.

[@NarrowboatPotteries]

At 8.47 you passed our old GRP cruiser. Pleased it is still afloat but I would not have left it so close to the aqueduct:)

[@michaelcoker3197]

I like your style of production, and you calm manner-no blather.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you Mike. :-)

The iron bridge must be the most beautiful bridge on the canal.

[@scottfw7169]

I like all the different iron bridges, their styling, patterns. Can't really pin words on why I do, I just do. And, we don't have those in the American midwest.

[@andrewdennis6654]

Enjoyable as usual. Haywood Junction - Anglo-Welsh does offer pump out, cheap diesel, chandlers and small shop. Service is excellent. It can be tricky getting in and out, though, especially if a lot of their hire boats are in the basin.

[@stevehoare6378]

Hugely enjoyable again Phil... It's so nice to watch as you are following, so far, the exact route that we took, right from the beginning almost.. Lovely..🍷🍷

[@dbd2191]

Awesome as all ways m8, chill' s me out every time thanks.

[@MrAdicubbin]

Thanks again. Enjoyed that after a hectic day!

[@ianlindsay1454]

Hi Phil, Just a quick thank for producing very enjoyable videos. Your commentary through them now is perfect. Nice to see the cats coming out without fear at the end of this video.. Our only criticism is that you didn't play your wonderful closing music at the end, I suppose this is being a bit picky. We appreciate the work involved in making these videos and we think you've got it just right. Look forward to the next one. Ian and Angie.

[@gegwen7440]

Yes my thoughts about country lanes as well as most have a 60 speed limit (as far as I know) when they should be no more that 30 (or less) Yet on many A roads (that can be at least twice as wide) where people are likely to be & have pavements the limit is often 30mph. Not as most drivers would though take any notice without some kind of enforcement.

[@anitablades6033]

Here in the States we have drivers mowing down Children in School Crossings. Sad world when you can't take a safe walk to get what you need.

[@QunitsClips]

Yes, this was a good ´food for thought' comment from Phil... I like the idear of reducing country lanes to a single lane with "passing places" every 30/40meters. The remaining road can then be used to make a safe track for walkers and bikes (who would also respect the "passing places" rules...)

[@anitablades6033]

@@QunitsClips in the US they have passed a law to have sidewalks in the city limits.

[@anitablades6033]

Thanks for taking us all along, Great Vid as Always !!

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Man made tixall wide the then landowner insisted if the canal was coming across land he wanted it to appear as a lake.

[@davidsedlickas8222]

If you get a chance stop at Radford Bank for a day or two hop on a bus to Stafford

[@elspethawake4541]

Those Murgons don't stay around very long...always just passing through.

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Fond memories of mooring there just before the bridge at Heyward lock. Very nice village great pubs.

[@lfsheldon]

I could not find any mercenary on the flying saucer at 13:27.

[@scottfw7169]

In a tangential yet connected thought; yeah, crop circles are interesting, but show me a canal circle, that will be _Really_ interesting! _(Hmm, maybe Tixall Wide is a failed canal circle?)_

[@sallymander7863]

Thanks again Phil for an interesting vlog, I'm puzzled that not all fellow boaters say 'hello', surely if you're passing close to someone and slowly, it's the natural thing to do? I suppose you get grumpy people on the waterways just like anywhere else. Love to the cats, xx Sally

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Most are friendly and do wave or say hello. It's just that the camera you are viewing from is up at the front of the boat and I am standing 50 feet behind it. So the greetings are out of view.

Lovely video. Just what the doctor ordered as I’ve just returned home after some surgery.

[@TheBoatingAdventure]

Thanks for that vlog, that's inspired me for another adventure during the summer. I'm taking the boat to Newark next but when I come back definitely gonna follow your route up the T&M, I've gone as far as Fradley which I covered in my vlog but the scenery and canal beyond it looks really good and I could do a bit of a circuit and come back up the Coventry Canal. I do like the shallow locks took much easier when for a single hander. Thanks.

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Tixall wide OMG horizontal rain when we went through 1 year.

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Staffs and Worcester canal to join the Shroppie and Wolverhampton and or onto Birmingham.

[@07pollee2ndtime]

I'd be interested in what you know about Tixall wide. I'd heard the owner of the big house didn't want a canal at the bottom of his garden but a lake was good!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

You already know more about it than I do. ;-)

[@07pollee2ndtime]

Well, my dad told me ... & he's been wrong before!
