- We take a trip on a barge along a short four kilometre stretch of the Grand Canal from Sallins heading west, and you might be surprised at just how much there is to see.
Check out our shop at www.driftwood.... where you get your hands on our book "Driftwood from the Shannon to the Marne" the humorous account of our first ever venture into the sea, and on to the French inland waterways.

Theres Something I just love about the canals,I've done nearly all of the rivers and lakes but I yearn every time to get back on the canals and of course the river Barrow.
Yes there is Derek, the Barrow is especially enchanting.

Thank you for another interesting and enjoyable video. I first went on the grand canal in either 1958 or 57. The C.I.E. boats were still running. I remember as clear as anything, with my sister, on early clear dewy mid September morning hearing the thump of the engine and eventually she passed smoke from her chimney, smell of bacon frying, man in long coat and cap at the tiller staring ahead, water running from her cooling and then the noise echoing for ages. It was a completely different country.
Thanks very much Andrew. That's a fantastic memorie of the canals, and you painted a superb image too.

Like everyone else, it's so great to see the both of you back again and looking well! We were worried about you. A barge is nice and all, but I still prefer your own Driftwood. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks Gerry, much appreciated.

Hi Harry and Marion. Great to see another video. Learned a few facts as well, especially about the original plan to cross the Liffey. Something similar was in place at Monastervan originally before the aquaduct.
Just some observations on the rail elements of your video. The railway at Sallins is the Dublin Heuston to Cork railway and the first section if that opened from Heuston (then Kingsbridge of course) to Cherryville Jct. which is the junction for the Waterford line on the 4th August 1846, not 1883 as in the video.
Hi glad you enjoyed the video. On digging a bit deeper it seems that the bridge was refurbished in 83 but not built as you correctly said. I'm a bit peeved that I got that wrong.
Great to see another video again, I was wondering if/when we would see one again. Very informative!
Ta Geoff, glad you enjoyed it 👍

Great to see you back folks. Marion must have revelled in the flat waters of the canal. 😀 Funny the Green & Silver came up. I have just packed the book of the same name away preparing for a bit of painting.
Ah, you'll enjoy a great read 👍 Ye the calm water of the canal keeps the gals happy!
Great to hear and see you back. Me and the kids were wondering when you be back.❤
Lots going on these days Raymond and it's always a challenge to find the time, but we'll have another video in a few weeks 👍

Thanks for another great video. I live up this part of the country and was always wondering what the pot was for. You videos are great and very well put together. Could I ask how you put them together i.e. software, music etc. I'm want to do something similar for a history project I'm working on. Thanks. Sean
Thanks Sean, ye I use Davinci Resolve editing software (free version) and I usually get the music from the YT library. Hope that helps with your history project.

I’m literally seeing pics from outside my estate
Your estate no less! Very posh 😁. It's nice to have all that history at your doorstep, lovely place to live 👍

It’s May 24th, 7:35pm. Did you guess just pass the Carrickcraft Jetty in Carrick-on-Shannon ?
Yep, that would have been us. Hope you had a good time on the river👍

I'm looking to buy a boat soon, I have no experience, where do I start? We're from Cork but we live near Portumna so hoping to dock one there and use it with the kids before they get too old,
Good idea to do a boating course first. I'd recommend the powerboat course run by Lough Ree Access for All in Ballyleague 👍
