Great to see you covered the Derby canal, Ive got a dedicated playlist no my RUclips channel. Ive flown most of the route with my drone and also mapped it out for Google Streetview and also done lots of then and now videos of the former canal do have a look.

Thank you for the latest video, I wonder why they restored that lock you said 26 years ago but then just left nature to continue to do its thing. I wonder why they didn’t concentrate on the surrounding area of the lock over the following years. What is your opinion 20/30 years at this rate? I think you and I will be long gone by the time this one is finished LOL 😋

Sitting here in Australia I would love the occasional pan to a Google map.

THIS IS A EXAMPLE OF LABOUR RUN BARNSLEY COUNCLE STICK HEAD IN SAND AND DONT GIVE A FU//K ,,, JUST SPEND MONEY ON DISTROY MARKET BUILD NEW KNOCK IT DOWN BUILD A NEW MARCKET 60 % OF SHOP SHUT DOWN,, HOME TO TO DRUGES BOOZ AND GRUGES,, YOU CAN TELL ITS LABOUR ROAD;S MADE UP OF WITH PONDS WITH A LITTLE TARMACK,,, CAN KEEP GOING FOR EVER ABOUT THIS MOB.

I think think some work is ongoing at Langley Mill re routing a section under the A610 on towards Aldecar Flash.Enjoyable vlog as always.

Thank you So much for your latest walk, was it Yesterday as it’s been so hot here. Your Abandoned Canal walks just leave me feeling So Sad at what has been lost for us, it’s not really progress in my eyes Tell me do you have a switch on what you have your video camera or phone on the turn from the view point to yourself when you are talking to the camera?

It's not a Kora, it's a Kamele N'Goni. You can hear him say it at the start. It comes from the six string Donso N'Goni. It's similar to the Kora but has a different tuning( Pentatonic), construction and history

Another Brilliant video it really is a delight discovering your videos 😊 Can I ask how many have you filmed and uploaded to RUclips so I can watch them all. You must do a lot of research into the abandoned canals and those that are being hopefully restored in your local areas Are you in touch with the various Societies? Even though I am retired I am subscribed with yearly fees to 3 Societies right now as I feel it right to help the brilliant people doing this important work to preserve our past Give up the good work 😊

I am So glad RUclips gave me recommendations for your videos a little time ago and I love your walks They really make me feel Sad seeing Our Wonderful English Canals that was just abandoned and left to fall into ruin and some actually filled in, built on etc 😢 Thank you for covering these important part our culture and heritage I feel it’s important Will you walk the Dearn and Dove Canal at sometime? BTW where are you from are you from the area? Keep up the Great work 😋

I believe the Barnsley CRG folded a few years ago, they'd had no new members for years, they passed their unused funds onto another canal group.

Are you allowed to fish there? Great video btw nice seeing that part of the world.

I’ve traveled from Worksop to West Stockwith on a boat then stockwith to the limit of navigation.

This video is my first recorded at 1080 high definition resolution which will hopefully improve the picture quality. Please watch this and my future videos back at 1080HD. Thanks for watching and your support.

That old "iron work" on the canal was a fascinating find.Amazing how it's still there after so many years. A lot of interesting stuff to see (good and bad) in a small area. Thank for an informative vlog on the Nutbrook.All these canal walks must be honing your fitness too! Regards Heyden.

I was certain you had changed the name of your channel… I really like these videos … I do walks after a night shift and I believe I capture the canals at their best, particularly in summer, when it starts getting light at 03:30am. It’s magical.

My husband and I really love your vlogs. You show us parts of the countryside that no-one else does, and point out things and are knowledgeable about things, so your vlogs are really interesting. I can't understand how few subscribers you have, and also how few viewings you get. Thank you so much for doing these walks that we can n longer do. ❤

Incredible Peak District. Another charming edition, nice underfoot conditions, fortunately. Particularly with all the rain we’re having!

Love the thumbnail … good video … my wife and I just rescued a blue tit that we found apparently traumatised… after a few hours though, after capturing it without any effort, we took it back to our boat, nursed it and after several hours we released it back into the wild … 🎉

Thanks for the video. I’m planning a bike ride from Nottingham to Grantham along the canal and the information in your film will add extra value to my trip.

Interesting information.Very good to see the improvements and on going work by the canal society.Quite a change from the usual doom and gloom.Loved the bench with the map engraved on it.Great idea.Thanks for a fascinating video.

A lot of rubbish things went on in the 1960's.I remember the Ernest Marples situation regarding motorways.On the Cromford Canal on which you did a video they chopped the canal at Sawmills where the canal went over the road and removed a set of traffic lights to speed up the traffic.Fifty years later guess what? A new set of traffic lights 100 yards from the original! I have a photo of canal, road, river and railway snuggling up to each other at that location. We played there as kids.An iconic image. Enjoyed your coverage.Thank you for highlighting the issues on the Grantham canal.

Thank you for the video, Great to see the revitalization of a historic water-way. Best regards from Chicago, usa.

The Grantham canal is to be rerouted from Holme Pierrpont across the fields through to Cotgrave to avoid the problems and expense of restoring the existing route.

Excellent video Mike. Great to see your channel doing so well.

Looks good, particularly from the top lock, the locks look very well maintained don’t they. I’m moored at Barton Turn, with Notts only a days navigation away… would love to go through there one day maybe…nice follow up to your last one. All that temporary works around lock 13 looks promising. I’ve worked on the rail at Bottesford and Grantham…

Imagine how many navvies it must have taken to dig that out in 4 years

The 1960s were also the time of Beeching and the dramatic cutbacks to the railways. The Minister for Transport, Mr Ernest Marples, was also the owner of a road building company. Putting it as politely as I can it is a case of 'enlightened self-interest'.

I was down Notts on a night shift … nipped down to castle lock and wharf for a muse …. then this popped up … if they had any sense, they would get this up and running, if nothing else for water management alone. Great video, keep ‘em coming.

Please subscribe if you have enjoyed this video. It takes me a day to walk, film and edit, but only a second to click the subscribe button. Thank you for watching.

In my childhood many canals were like this. Quiet walks, teeming with fish, birds, plants, insects and wildlife. Now they are effectively brown motorways for boats. Gridlocked at every lock. Perhaps that's where the term came from? 😉

There is a wikipedia page on the Nutbrook canal at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutbrook_Canal

Enjoyed that, very informative and great footage 😊

Liked the pulley wheel on the stone block, gems of from a more challenging time… Subscribed … Thank you!

Subscribed …

500 views with my click, well done, nice to see your channel gaining traction, very nice.

Looks amazing there and as you elude too, ripe for restoration. The therapeutic element of walking along a canal corridor is arresting and calming and offers incredible health benefits, an opportunity to shake off the pressures of busy pavements and roads in cities and towns. Very informative as usual. Thank you.

A nice video with some interesting information. I have pictures of the Nutbrook (2016) making brief appearances between the Erewash and 'Hotwater' at 4:30 before the current industrial re-development prevented access.

Relaxing video😊

Love the Kora! Originated in Mali. Tradition of playing was always handed down from Griot father to son. ~Until Sona Jobarteh’s father handed down the tradition to her as First Female Virtuoso Kora player.

I worked here in the 80s restoring the canal

Charles I V. was King of Bohemia and Holy Roman emperor in 14 century.Austro -Hungarian empire started 1866 after Austrian Empire was divided in two parts.Holy Roman Empire was abolished in 1806.

I've been in the tower and seen the old bells about 15 or 20 years ago with my dad and the vicar we lived in lowfield house wich is basically opsite the churche next to the council officers. Great video gone memories 👍

the locks could be sandbagged closed.

I downloaded an app for my phone which gets live river levels for the whole of Europe's rivers. Surely a level indicator on each section between locks would raise the alarm for authorities, of criminal activities on the canal, so saving thousands of fish and inconvenience to canal users. Even cctv could be used to catch the culprits. Really enjoyable video thanks for uploading.

Thanks very much. Love the comment about autumn arriving with the St Ledger horse race, I never heard that before.

"Autumn comes in on t' tail of the last horse home in t' St. Ledger" an old farmer I used to know always to say. The Danger signs were probably related to the electricity cables that crossed the waterway at that point. Nice film, I've been planning a walk there myself.

Nice beat

Just catching up with your vlogs.This was really fascinating, full of the real history of the area.Your conversation with the local chap was riveting - living history.The monument to the lost fishermen was moving to say the least.I felt that I was looking at real people.Being of a certain age I remember the Cod Wars very well. So much packed into one vlog! Thank You.

Wow, can’t believe this! So sad to see. After spending a full winter on the Erewash canal on our Narrowboat, it’s scary to see the boats in that position too.

I'm not shocked. The West has its Sad Crazies...
