Through Congleton and Buglawton - A narrowboat journey on the Macclesfield canal.

[@NathanElcoate]

What a magic cruise. Wow.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. Plenty more videos like that on my channel. :-)

[@NathanElcoate]

@@NarrowboatJourneys Love them all!

[@robbflynn4325]

Lived in Buglawton between 2001 and 2016. Familiar with the roads but not so much the canal, sort of regret not spending more time walking alongside. I'm now living in the US so really appreciate videos like this!

[@philippankhurst6680]

The odd flying saucer, but no other distractions, no 'look at me, look at me', just a simple canal trip along a very attractive waterway. As always, an absolute delight.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. These videos are all about the journey, rather than me.

[@philippankhurst6680]

@@NarrowboatJourneys That was a not very subtle dig at some of your fellow KZbin travellers (some, but not all)

[@teethmac]

This is the town I live in great walks down the canal enjoyed the video

[@billlewis2401]

Been watching your vlogs for some time. I appreciate that you don't feel compelled to natter endlessly. Thank you for that.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

My pleasure! If I talked too much you wouldn't hear the birdsong and that's much nicer than anything I can say. ;-)

THE COUNTRY ALONG THE CANAL WAS BEAUTIFUL NICE RELAXING VLOG

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@susanmarker2164]

Lovely part of the Macclesfield..Your so knowledgeable 😊 If my dream ever came true and I were fortunate enough to get my very own tiny narrow boat. ...your blogs would be great help....Very nice cruise..Thank you.😊

[@cmillar849]

wonderful video, made my evening. Jack.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DavidSuttoninSpain]

I am so glad that you have stopped dancing at the start of the videos, but they did bring a smile to my face. Keep going and always look on the Bright side of life (Life of Brian) :)

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

It seemed like a good idea at the time. I never, ever, dance otherwise! ;-)

[@pootle2768]

Ooooh that was really lovely and calming. Every video you produce is such a treat. Thank you

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you Mandy :-)

[@williambolton9565]

Been looking forward to a cruise down the super Mac’ with you Phil. Brings back happy memories from the early 1950s. Traversed it many times by canoe and day boat. Lots of inspiration for the painter. Hope you’re going wind and cruise the return trip with me aboard. Many thanks for the pure enjoyment.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks Stuart, I will be covering the Macc and Peak Forest canals but this year I am taking things a lot slower.

[@rayjaypaulsen]

Hello Phil, Just enjoy the peacefulness in your videos! The virus is getting active again in the U.S. and Florida. Hope all is well there! Your friend Ray

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks Ray. I fear that virus isn't going anywhere until there's a vaccine, or we attain herd immunity and it dies out naturally...

[@christinegibbins6105]

Aa always Phill, just so lovely and peaceful, thank you. Take care.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks, you too. :-)

[@dockovacs4089]

Beautiful pastoral scenery

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

It was very pretty through there. The weather wasn't so good for the next trip though.

Thank you for sharing this with us it was lovley - please stay safe and well sending regards xxxx

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you! You too!

[@bigtoe333333]

Thank you for a lovely and really informative video. Its like a Nicholson canal guide brought to life!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. I think it is important to show all the "in between" bits and not just the highlights.

[@bigtoe333333]

@@NarrowboatJourneys , I've been pondering whether to move aboard a narrowboat this year, and your videos have been the single biggest factor in helping me to decide. I want to spend a few days at a time in remote and rural locations, and I simply didnt know whether there was still enough space for that on the UK network. Your videos have shown me many hundreds of yards of largely empty towpath, often half a mile or so- and I can see that there is a huge amount of space to moor in peace and quiet. I have asked this sort of question on discussion forums but gotten a variety of answers that did not leave me with a clear impression of the situation. Your videos have answered my question definitively , and I can only thank you very much indeed.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Yes, there are plenty of places like that. Finding a food shop can be difficult sometimes. I think a bike is essential.

[@bigtoe333333]

@@NarrowboatJourneys , I'm pondering an ebike to give me a bit more range to be honest, but yes- definitely some sort of bike!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

One of my bikes is electric. You'll need a good inverter of at least 300w pure sine wave to charge it. Takes about 3-4 hours and draws up to 13 amps! I can only charge it on a nice sunny day! A regular mountain bike would be my first choice. That's why I have two bikes.

Really enjoyed the vlog nice sunday afternoon cruise please take care you and the cats thankyou

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. You too. :-)

[@liznickless709]

Beautiful scenery, like a painting and the water reflections and lush growth everywhere. Loved the cattle cooling off in the water. Lovely video thanks for sharing your journeys.

Lovely countryside.

[@elspethawake4541]

Very pretty area. Easy to imagine what it would look and sound like back in the horse-drawn days, horses clomping along. Midge was eager to get out!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

They rushed out but were a bit startled by a passing jogger.

[@anitablades6033]

Thank you for a very nice trip, I broke my wrist the first of the month. Saw your vid this morning wanted to save it to watch this evening, very relaxing thank you!!! Helps with the pain. Stay Safe!!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. Sorry to hear that. I hope you get well soon.

[@robertbaxter4021]

I walk along this stretch of canal quite regularly and we have been on a day boat along it once too. Think I saw those ufos again

[@normg2242]

Nice trip, as always!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks again!

[@sallymander7863]

Very nice, peaceful trip. Cats have smart collars on, have they always worn them? Hadn't noticed before.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. Yes, they usually have collars on. Little radio trackers too!

What flew over at 4.06...bridge 77 is called a Turnover bridge.....

[@Boating_David]

Lovely as ever Phil I'm looking forward to exploring the Macc one day, they just keep closing it when I want to go !

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. It's a good job I'm not in a hurry because there's a good chance I will get stuck here!

[@taniaallison7253]

Another lovely watch, thank you x

You’re welcome 😊

[@kathleenpenglase6876]

Love it as usual! So beautiful..why oh way did my grandparents have to move to the states :( I'd soooo live on the "cut" if I lived in your beautiful country!!

[@raywatkins2351]

Thanks Phil, you're one of the best. What's your boat called, you never show it. Be lucky.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks Ray. I keep quiet about my boats name to stop people from stealing all my gold! ;-)

@@NarrowboatJourneys Keep the gold but I'd love the cats.

[@paisleyjane9606]

Perfect narrowboating music! How many instruments do you play?

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. I only really play classical guitar. I can bash out a few notes on a keyboard but wouldn't go as far as to say I can play it properly.

[@a40a40]

Nice one. I hope you are going to do the Upper Peak👍

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. I might do the upper Peak. I'm in no hurry this year...

Hi Phil, Another beautiful journey. Beautiful high quality images. What kit do you use please? Thanks for another lovely journey. Really good. 👍🏻

Thank you. I use a Cobra CDR820 dash camera.

Were those UFO’s when you passed those moored up boats after bridge 80,sure looks like a pair of flying saucers,frame 4:02

There's a clue in the opening sequence of the video...
