How cool, do you have any good stories?

@@paulmessis1094 I used to make them but the problem was the videos didn’t get many views so they used to effect how RUclips recommended the main videos. I now offer drone only videos showing all the drone footage and more to members (narrowboat level and above)

@@allangriffiths9555 that’s the same for most restorations, cruising the cut did a video on the Stafford Riverway link this week which says the same.

@@garryduxbury4794 thank you

@@redhmanchesteruk. 🤜🏼

@@stevea7021 I actually don’t know who it was, just it was the same situation that it was used for practise during the war

@@malcolmrichardson3881 they start fund raising for the next section soon, although there are other priorities to connect some other sections first but they aren’t far away

@@misterglo1394 I believe there’s some dispute with the developers who claim low level development won’t pay for itself as they have contaminated soil to remove. They are trying to get apartments over more of the project

@@dannyk3115 thanks

@@PeterJewell2 are they the 2 that WRG have been working on?

@@CourtAboveTheCut - yes. Many WRG work parties take place to supplement the Trust's own groups - there's a different one each day of the week!

I'm a (distant) volunteer and have worked on several of the projects, including Compasses Bridge and Birtley. In your follow-up video you'll have to cover the sections both north and south of this video as there's plenty more to see!

@@PeterJewell2 I’m planning one south, I’m also planning one on some of the engineering as well as the sections north of here, I will try and spend a weekend down there soon.

@@PeterJewell2 different work parties from the trust? That’s good to here that it’s so active!

@@PeterJewell2 I’ll be visiting for another video or 2, my plan was to end a video there. The section is closed atm though as they are relining the canal after a breach

@@CourtAboveTheCut - right, yes I've heard about that. It's making progress.

@@PeterJewell2 I’ve been offered access but as this was filmed in an evening I didn’t really have time.

@@PeterJewell2 yes I saw, it looks great, I’ve been away on holiday this week so this video was produced before I went away so I couldn’t add a little update like I often do.

@@marilynbalderstone696 you see the same everywhere, it’s fun to see the different colours. The same as the soil, it always amazes me how red the soil is in the midlands, is so brown here in the south west.

@@andrewcampbell4847 wow, I’m sure you’ve never made a mistake in your life. Good luck in your future endeavours and your perfect existence 😂

@@CourtAboveTheCut I have of course made mistakes - I'm 73 and still making them.. But I never showed such disdain for my readership/audience/viewers that I made such an elementary spelling mistake in the title. Napoleon was one of the most significant men who ever lived. More books have been written about him than any other historical figure, except Jesus Christ. If you don't respect your viewers, you might at least have had enough respect for him to get his name right. My existence is far from perfect. I'll be dead from motor neurone disease before this time next year.

@@andrewcampbell4847 I respect my viewers, I have met many of them on walks and you won’t hear any of them say I’ve disrespected them. You are the disrespectful one here, I don’t see you producing content for free, taking both time away from your family as well as money out of your pocket. Go watch someone else it doesn’t bother me, as you aren’t watching my content i’m not disrespecting my viewers.

@@andrewcampbell4847when’s your book out you clown

Wow, I'm sorry about your health issues anddrewcampbell4847 and hope you're wrong about your prognosis. Courtabovethecut I appreciate the effort and time you have taken and we all make mistakes

@@tomcarr1358 I believe they are about half way but it’s lots of sections that need to join up. The canal is 23 miles

Much appreciated. Crossing the watershed has been a challenge for a longtime. T C

@@colin125gwr thank you

@@timsecord8207 they are doing a great job, thanks for watching

@@optimist3580 it’s been on my list for a while

@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 have a good shift!

@@brianwillson9567 it will be amazing if they can restore it all the way down and link in the other canals, the south really needs it

@@glynngreen7345 thank you so much for your support

@@abumstead1219 I add a google earth video on most of my newer stuff. Thanks for the advice though, I hope that helps

@@CourtAboveTheCut Sorry, but I didn’t get to the end of your video tour as you had lost me. Hence I didn’t know about what you added at the end. And that is really my point. You lost me as I couldn’t make out where anything you we’re talking about was in relation to one another.

@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 thank you!

@@CourtAboveTheCuthaha, I just added more txt… you were too quick with your reply …. Great work.

@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 I work a lot! I’ve always been a workaholic, I have a business as well as this and 2 young kids. Somehow I get it in but I spend most days working on the tools, walking canals or editing/paperwork for about 12 hours a day, sometimes 14. When I go away filming I tend to go for about 3 days where I’ll 6am-10pm just driving, filming and sorting footage in the hotel. On the canals, I’ve got loads on the Lichfield, it’s one of my favourite. Derby and Ashby are both on my radar, I’ve got plans to visit both before the end of the year. The Nottingham is a little more difficult, apart from the Beeston cut there isn’t much to show. I’ve got 3 videos filmed on the Grantham which will come at some point one I’m going to have to split into 2 videos as it cover about 8-10 miles of the Trent end and it’s just way too long to leave as one video.

@@CourtAboveTheCut madness, I work mostly nights all over the Midland Mainline, all my ‘kids’ are grown up now and while I do live full time on my boat, I find it takes a good bit of time to edit footage to make it half decent… The time I do get to look into stuff like the Ashby is priceless, I’ve got on coming out very soon, I lived on the Ashby for a year, got a lot of investment over there …. Thanks for your insightful reply…

@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 no I problem, I’ll keep an eye out when it comes, I’ll be doing 2 videos on the abandoned end

@@michaelkaiser1864 what’s your point?

@@CourtAboveTheCut they seem too be more interested in "things" while the populous is being slowly killed by invaders. They are denying people the right to self defense. Thats my point. Im all about preserving history but the PEOPLE come first!

@@gloriadoidge8422 it’ll be full soon so another video is coming, make sure you are subbed and click the bell button to be notified

@@paulturner7837 I didn’t sit on it but wish I had now, king Steve 😂

@@CourtAboveTheCut hahaha yeah you should have 👍

Great video even all the facts are spot on, let’s have more when you can.

@@johnward9421 thanks, I try my best to get the research right before I come! Sometimes it’s a little hard when you’ve never visited before to piece it all together. I’ll be back soon, I promise

The newly surfaced towpath is a designated bridleway, the new surface being a locally quarried material called Fittalwell (?) stone, which is very horse friendly..

Yes , I've noticed he moves on too quick to his next sentence and talks as if we know the area that he he's talking about.

Thank you

Ah I heard about that, I should have remembered to put it in the video

@@wattster71 thank you :) I do take all comments on board, constructive criticism is always welcome!

@@wattster71 and I really appreciate your membership, it’s a big boost to the channel!

@@Sarge084 there should be plenty coming soon!

@@dennyporter2447 it shouldn’t be too long, the planks go in to fill it very soon!

@@haraldclark6206 no problem, thanks for watching

@@18robsmith most of the bridges exist or have been replaced. There’s the 2 new ones on the A38 roundabout then one needed at the Saul junction end. Obviously they are going under the M5 as well but that’s through an existing river channel (although the canal is actually lower) there’s also some smaller footbridges. To get to Brimscombe port there will be a bridge needed next to the ship inn pub.

@@mainetje9027 wow thank you for such kind words! It’s not often I get complimented on things like this, usually I get told I’m doing something wrong! Thank you so much.

@@malcolmrichardson3881 from what I hear the work on the actual missing mile section should start this autumn/winter

@@geoffmorgan8476 thank you :) hopefully the new camera is providing better footage!

@@arthurbaldwin1804 they are making fantastic progress here, this is an old video now but I recently visited which shows you how much has changed already. They should have the next section filled fairly soon. I’ll add a link to the other video in a separate reply

@@philtucker1224 this section is the link to the east coast mainline at Handsacre, at that point the northern section started so this is still necessary so trains can continue north on the existing infrastructure.

@@CourtAboveTheCut That’s good! Kind regards to you buddy, keep those videos coming, I live near the Kennet & Avon.

@@philtucker1224 so do I, well Chippenham so about 20-30 minutes.

@@CourtAboveTheCut yes ( I’m at the Reading end) kind regards.

@@philtucker1224 it should be busy when it’s complete to the Wyrley and Essington as it’ll be a decent loop and cut through

@@dummysbrother they are really doing a fantastic job, I didn’t see it in the dereliction you did but I’m glad it’s being restored, it’s a lovely route.

@@philtucker1224 46 miles in total, I think it’s an extra 18 miles
