Dillon looks like a truck with a bent frame when you show him walking down the towpath. back end off to the side of the front. LOL cracks me up everytime

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why he was cantering like a show horse. It does not stop him from being a good swimmer 😄

Well at least you had your pants on, mate. And I'm sure you were most polite to the speeding cretin. I've been known to shake a stick at speeders who don't slow down for my horse as the law requires. Rudeness should never be tolerated. I'm guessing there's water dog in Dillon's family. Sometimes the call of the water just gets overwhelming. Or maybe he just enjoys the nice warm washup. Maybe he thought Colin had fallen in and needed rescuing. But he is a good little swimmer and knows which way to head. Did you let him roll about in your unwashed sheets to dry off? As always a delightful visit and tour of the Shropy. I love all the color comment you bring to your adventures. Thanks gents. And of course make sure Dillon knows he gets a 10 for his swimming form.

[@FoxesAfloat]

I'll shake more than a stick at them 😂 Haha! Dillon is 5* at swimming 👍🏻 Cheers, Don 💜

[@pbcanal1]

The quality of these vlogs is outstanding. I get dizzy watching some with all the jump edits. You really put out a nice and easy to watch show. Thanks.

[@FoxesAfloat]

It has to reflect the style of travel, hence the easy to watch style. We do a few time lapses, but only to show short bursts of nondescript stretches. Thanks for the appreciation, Michael. It means a lot 👍🏻💜

Watched this for the fortyteenth time and still get a bad case of the giggles when Dillon goes for a dip. And the way his tail was connected to his legs so that as he ran his tail went side to side. Will always be missed for the way he stared at the camera, his tail, and his cheerfulness.

[@FoxesAfloat]

He stared into your soul. I miss him every single day 💜

[@TaoJones101]

It's so enjoyable to catch up with the Foxes Afloat crew by binge watching recent vlogs. My heart melts for poor Dillon who thought he had to get off the boat to find Colin - even jumping in the freezing water to look for his daddy! What a lovable, loyal companion your Dillon is.

[@FoxesAfloat]

He hates it when I'm off the boat 😂💜

[@pkluske]

Another beautiful vlog. Loved that sunset, truly sensational. You pick beautiful music Colin and it must take ages to find all those, you truly put a lot of effort into it as you did giving Dillon a warm bath. Silly bugger, he doesn't like water and yet he goes for a swim. Perhaps he gets hypnotised by the water as he stares at it.

[@FoxesAfloat]

He slips off the edge sometimes. Serves himself right for laying down with his legs over the edge 😂

For me, the most visually stunning vlog you have done so far. You really did pass through some stunning scenery and saw some amazing sunsets. Credit where its due you guys know your way around a camera.! I noticed you met an irish named narrowboat at one point along the way too- the one with the greyhound picture on the side. Theres a couple of translations of the name depending on the interpretation of the spelling. It could either translate as "The gun" or "the covenant" if the letter u in the name is a plain old 'u' or 'ú'. Thats my useless fact of the day.! My hoodie finally landed too,and its as good as advertised. Lovely material. Problem is, hers truly fancies it and has taken ownership. !! Thanks chaps.

[@stephholder7884]

Guys I have to say the most massive thank you. Me and the Other Half had always planned to buy a narrowboat when we retired, but sadly not to be. OH got cancer in 2015 and our plans changed. We did as many boating holidays as we could (last one was the Avon Ring May/June this year. Sadly he died just before Christmas. We’ve been watching your vlogs for a long while, and now I can watch and remember places we went. In our early days we went under the telegraph pole bridge and he spent ages taking photos, then realised he had no film in the camera! (It was a long time ago!) Norbury junction is a favourite of ours as well, we hired ‘Summer Wine’ several times and I know what you mean about the wharf community. Can I recommend the bacon butties in the cafe at the boatyard?! Anyway, sorry for the essay, looking forward to watching many more of your vlogs, and boating vicariously. Thank you for sharing. Steph xx

[@evanofelipe]

Thanks Colin for a well researched presentation with superb photography. I am familiar with this area, having worked there 50 years ago and interested to learn a lot about its history associated with the canal. We locals have an expression ‘around the Wrekin’ when someone rambles on without getting to the point. It’s very like The Wrekin, that stands above the relatively low lying countryside and remains in view for ages, even after travelling several miles. Geologically it’s the result of volcanic rock (quartzite), that pushed up and cooked the Cambrian sandstone 570 million years ago to make it hard and resilient raising the ground to give the appearance of a volcano that now dominates the Shropshire county-side for miles around. As a child I often played on the tow-paths and banks of the canal at Gnosall (a little further on ‘down the cut’), I totally understand when you describe the atmosphere around Norbury as quiet and tranquil. I was aware of it myself, even at the age of 9yrs old and always considered it as ‘special’.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Amazing history, I love it!

Thanks very much for another fantastic vlog. I have actually met Charlie Atkins better known as Chocolate Charlie in the 1970's. He was permanently moored on the Trent & Mersey near the Anderton Lift. Charlie taught my late Father how to make rope fenders for the bow and stern. I have forgotten the name of the boat that he lived on. A bit more info on The Wrekin - A beacon fire on this hilltop warned of the coming of the Spanish Armada - and traces of an Iron-Age camp indicate that it was recognised as a good defensive site almost 2000 years ago.

I do love your canal history inserts you always have. Being American I know less than nothing about the canal system of England. Your patter is great fun and I come away feeling like I learned something. Lots of narrow boat VLOGS out there in Utube land but yours is the only one with a history lesson.

Thanks so much, John! 👍🏻

Guys Wonderful drone footage taking full advantage of the great winter weather including that ‘to die for sunset’ . Poor Dillon taking an impromptu dip in the canal. Do you think he was simply attention seeking? I can imagine him on his doggie I PAD 😁 right now reading all viewers’ comments and thinking to himself that he is truly the star of the show! Mike

Ah, he slips off the edge. He lays right on the edge of the deck and slips when he gets up too fast. He's done it 3 times now.

Guys, I have to thank you for taking me along on your travels around the English countryside. I will never be able to travel to England and see in person. Always enjoy seeing the beauty of your Homeland. Thanks again!
