My father and I were part of the initial cruise from tarlton into Preston docks (pre all the development works) to make the case for the ribble link. The docks were derelict and access limited. But we did it, and the result was this link. Very proud of my father and the team of people that worked to make this happen.

Hello from the USA! I found you on Amazon and binged all 5 seasons. So I thought I would come to KZbin to see what I could find. You probably get tired of hearing "I just love your videos!!" But I do love them! I'm fascinated with the whole canal system there and the canal way of life. Thank you so much for taking us on a journey we would not otherwise be able to make. Safe travels Kevin!

That looks a nice part of the world... without wanting to tell you how to do things but the Gentleman doing the towing would have made it a lot more easier for you both if he’d set a bridle up from both Sampson post on each quarter of his boat and making the tow gear longer when out in open water! Close quarter manoeuvring then shorten the tow up but any length of time make it longer and you’ll both have more control..

I used to sail dinghies on the River Lune out of Glasson Dock, 1 river up from the Ribble, and the river currents plus the tidal currents make it all very tricky. Add to that the fact that the route is not navigable at low water so you have time constraints unless you want to sit on a mudbank. Right side up if you're lucky, having been swept downstream because when the tide is running it's likely to be over 6 knots! Makes it a serious trip quite hazardous and well done.
