Hi, missing your videos, hope all is well

Stop moaning if you don't like it don't go there. Missing locks - ask the boaters. Not be subscribing very disappointed.

The Erewash canal has lots of crappy areas along it lots of quite deprived and dicey areas. Its not well maintained because its not well used and I dont think its much dredged. The Cromford is currently under restoration if thats achieved the Erewash will become a much more used and loved canal. For those of us who live round these parts its a great cycling and walking route though. I was trying to work out where you were from youre shots. I'm suprised you didnt feature a shot of Bennerley viaduct. It's a shame the Nottingham Canal no longer exists its a largely much prettier less industrialised route with much better scenery.

We walked that section and walked into leek and got lost , a kind local gave us a lift back to the steam train station where we remembered where we parked the motorhome 😂 conveniently by the pub . Enjoy your travels

Awww glad you had a lovely cruise and meal and some easy locks tc both the oldies 🤗👍🤗👍

Love the Shroppie Fly, not had a bad meal in there yet! I live in Overwater Marina, so it’s my local.

What a lovely cruise thanks for sharing we do miss getting out but thanks to boaters we can still take in the scenery and pretend we are along with you tc now the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍🌹🌷🌺

If you look at the black railings on the left at 14:30 - during the floods earlier this year, the water was level with the top rail.😳 By the way, love the tractor seats.👌

Well done my you have a lot of locks to take you forward now tc both thanks for sharing the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍

Maybe he died keeping the rival swans apart!

You are having such an adventurous time but moving the blockage hard work for you nice hair do Linda tc both the oldies 🤗🤗

The purpose of the Leek arm is to provide a water source to the summit pound which feeds in to the far end of the arm from Rudyard lake, which was built by the canal company for that purpose. Rudyard lake in turn has a feeder into it from the River Dane.

What it cost you

That first railway bridge you came to over the lock hasn't seen a train for about 40 years! It's the former Stoke to Leekbrook Junction line, not the Churnet Valley line. The steam loco an American S160 no. 6046 which I have driven. I'm now a volunteer signalman at Consall, the station with the platform cantilevered over the cut. The Black Lion can only be accessed by canal. on foot, or by car but that's using a very long narrow lane which is a dirttrack for the last bit. They are busy at weekends but on a Tuesday night it's not worth them opening. I have done the Caldon on a narrow boat including through the tunnel to Froghall (not Frognall!) basin. It was very tight - we had to remove our TV aerial and crouch down on the back deck reaching up to the tiller to steer!

Looks like you both had a lovely time keep crusing tc from us the oldies👍👍👍👍

That narrow section was originally Armitage tunnel but was opened up I think in the late 60s or early 70s.

Good to see you both and the boat is looking grand well done enjoy your cruise thanks for sharing tc nowthe oldies 🤗👍🤗👍🌺🌷🌹
