We tried: Restoring a canal

[@CaroleOwen-yu3gr]

Absolutely fabulous you are brilliant. Not many people would work that hard. You are going to feel it tomorrow but as Amy said it makes you feel good. Rufus is perking up now thank goodness hope he stays that way ❤❤

[@MichaelDouglas-yo2gu]

What a lovely surprise for a Sunday evening - that was really interesting 👏👏. I think that deserves a discount on any moorings when that stretch does eventually open 🤔😉

[@BoatTime]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊👏🏻 haha, now that would be special treatment 😂

[@tereasia]

What a great idea! There are perks to being stuck not cruising 😊

[@Y2stopframeanimation]

What a good idea for a series. I really enjoyed this and it’s always interesting to see different aspects of our canals. You’re a great team 😊

[@BoatTime]

Yay! We are so glad you enjoyed it! 😊👏🏻 Thank you so much. Hope you are doing good and staying warm on your boat x

[@bluedeva]

Bless you both for showcasing just how vital volunteering is for charities like the canal and river trust. Trust me it is so rewarding and it costs nothing but your time and you know that you are giving back to the community at the same time. Win win! 🤗🤗

[@eatmynoobfood7461]

Well done for volunteering, such a rewarding thing to do. 😜✌️💜

[@BoatTime]

It was more enjoyable than we expected! 😊👏🏻 thank you!

[@kareemarhodes1740]

Love it!!! This is such a good idea, and an American you are the only ones showing us this. Thank you

[@marianneeckertjensen4723]

Nice job, and good to bring attention to this type of work that needs to get done 😃

[@BoatTime]

Absolutely! We were glad to 😊👷🏻‍♀️ thank you for watching!

[@julie9242]

Well done both, what a difference a day makes😊

[@BoatTime]

Very satisfying at the end! 💪🏻👷🏻‍♀️👷🏻 thank you!

[@cstewart3671]

Awesome guys, well done for getting stuck in and volunteering. Great video! 👍🙌👌🏻

[@BoatTime]

Thanks for watching😍

[@EHKodiak]

Bloody well done! I am so pleased that canal restorations are going on. The Montgomery is another I think could be a great one, especially for things en-route. Such a small bit of funding can really improve the infrastructure, if only the government saw it. Really glad to see you both tucking in

[@BoatTime]

We agree, its lovely to see there is still the drive, passion and interest out there for our waterways! 😊💪🏻

[@shirleygreaves9650]

What a fantastic vlog, so great to see what the volunteers are achieving! Good for you two for giving a hand. Xxx

[@CrockofBits]

Awesome jobs you guys!! So will you revisit this project down the line?? Can't wait to see more of this series!! ^^

[@BoatTime]

Hopefully we can, on our own boat! 😊👏🏻 thank you so much

[@KevDYAD]

Good to see volunteering being promoted. We volunteer with the WRG (Waterway Recovery Group) and our little division of the WRG is called the BitM (Bit in the Middle). We meet one weekend a month and assist other canal charities with tasks that our team can do. Like you say it's a social thing too as we usually travel on the Fri and meet for a pub evening meal before hand. The jobs are so varied from concrete laying, brickwork, fence erecting de-vegging etc but you only have to do what you are capable and comfortable doing

[@BoatTime]

Love that! That sounds brill and is so valuable and helpful im sure! 👏🏻 Well done to you and the team 😊💪🏻

[@lindabeavis7711]

Fab going behind the scenes as a volunteer on the restoration canal works on the canal networks ,clearly explained wonderful ways to connect with others who have a passion for the canal networks across the uk.

[@BoatTime]

Absolutely! 😊👷🏻‍♀️👷🏻 Very glad you enjoyed

[@SheilaBaron-f5f]

[@Paula-yy8qs]

Great to see behind the scenes restoration projects. Will you be revisiting the Gloucester & Sharpness by car to explore the Stroud arm restoration? Hope Rufus is doing well 🙏

[@BoatTime]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 😊 We will hopefully be there at some point on our own boat. Not sure if there are any work parties, but we will have a look

[@MsRachaelRoberts]

[@BoatTime]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊👏🏻

[@AnthonyCarter-g2o]

That made a change.Could you do a vlog on heritage boat restoration or the boat restoration for forces personnel?

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! 😊 Yes, that is something on our list we would love to get stuck in to for sure!

[@dgwright4540]

Awesome idea for new series. Job well done. You know I can't wait for the next! Bravo !!

[@BoatTime]

More to come! thank you for watching! 😊

[@narrowboatersatlarge]

Well done! We have been past there and also visited Stafford and are really looking forward to the day we can cruise into the centre. If more people offer help, like you did, then that day will be much closer :)

[@BoatTime]

Ahh nice! 😊👏🏻 Yes exactly! We cant wait to see it open

[@Risingstar0324]

So nice to see you and others volunteering on this project. My dream has and is to have my own narrowboat, and to volunteering for CRT projects. I am proud of you two for jumping up to the challenge. Sweet ❤ Freddie

[@BoatTime]

Thank you Freddie! 😊 We may have one planned with CRT volunteers coming up!

[@jillthornton7216]

Well done both of you , great job.xx

[@BoatTime]

Thanks so much! 😊💪🏻

[@angelam4242]

Good job, you two!

[@BoatTime]

Thanks! 😊💪🏻

[@bettyonaboat]

I cruised past this and didn’t go to volunteer, so you’re putting me to shame! It will be nice to know you’ve played a part in it once it’s all finished.

[@BoatTime]

haha! Aw don't worry 😂👏🏻 there's always a list to do on our own boats isnt there! For sure. 😊 thanks for watching! Hope you are doing good and staying warm x

[@samwright8599]

Nice to see you both dressed xx❤❤❤❤❤

[@BoatTime]

haha! nothing wrong with a pj day or two! 😉

[@sallyannlidtka7290]

Well done 🎉🎉🎉

[@BoatTime]

thank you! 👏🏻😍

[@FriendlyFecker]

Well done volunteering, I remember cruising past and seeing the signs. We did venture into Stafford but walked from the canal. Like many of our towns it needs a bit of regeneration 🥴 great vlog

[@BoatTime]

hopefully the canal can help with that! 😊 thanks for watching

[@ClareHewitt-s6b]

That’s so cool ❤x

[@BoatTime]

It is! Thanks for watching 😊

[@jackiejones1684]

Really interesting video. I've always wondered if those cruising the canals ever do any volunteering or even a bit of litter picking. How about you do some magnet fishing in the canals, particularly near towns. Who knows what treasures you could find

[@BoatTime]

It can be hard sometimes as often you fly through areas, but we are really glad we were able to give it a go! 😊 I think there are quite a few boaters who are also volunteers out there. We have tried magnet fishing before, didn't find much but we've seen the videos of the treasures haha

[@colin125gwr]

well done your only know one other Liverboard youtube channel does volunteer work on the canal Hope it's not a one off Wish I was well enough to help out with my local canal

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! More to come 👏🏻😊 Aw dont worry about it, take care of yourself first

[@PKWeaver74]

What's going on? Did I oversleep 2 days and it's Tuesday!? (The first bricks were blocks, sorry to be that pendant I hate myself already!)

[@BoatTime]
