  • Exploring Britain by Narrowboat, we take narrowboat Silver Fox down the Glasson Branch of the Lancaster Canal, through the flight of six locks and we moor in Glasson Basin.
    During our journey, we had a problem with our bow thruster, and after some investigation, Colin ended up jumping in to fix our narrowboat!
    Find out all about the village of Glasson, the local facilities, and some spectacular aerial drone footage of the area, along with our narrowboat journey into the basin.
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    The production value of these videos is astounding. Having actually attempted a making a vacation video with some sort of linear storyline: FAIL. I have some tiny understanding of how difficult this is. Yet you two make it seem so easy! The results are always very enjoyable. It’s the combination of all of the elements; videography, drone footage, pacing, writing, fun banter, instruction with lessons large and small, beautiful boat and of course...England. You two are such naturals. Keep up the great work!

    Watching the series for the second time. The whole Lancaster series is wonderful, but this episode is just so beautiful! Despite the fact that you've moved on to other adventures and successful pursuits, what you accomplished with these videos is incredible. I don't think anyone could produce a more professional, warm, informative and inviting series of videos to promote and show off the beauty of England. You should have been paid handsomely by the Ministry of Tourism!

    2 years on and rediscovering as an Aussie with a couple of mates we voyaged along the canal from Preston to Tewitfield for a week in early September, 2011. We moored adjacent to that beautiful stone bridge on the start of the Glasson branch and being completely intimidated by the locks we walked along the towpath to Glasson on what could be described as a 'hot' day, around 25c.
    It WAS hot and a pint went down well at Glasson, but what a beautiful walk and the peaceful Glasson village at the end of that walk.
    Just coming out of COVID, I discovered your channel and found the episodes on the Lancaster canal and remembered that wonderful, incomparable holiday. Thanks for the professionally produced video's particularly of the Lancaster canal. Mike.

    Thank you so much for going to Glasson dock. Most of my teenage weekends were spent there in the 70's. Lantern o' lune, a haven for teenage activities......cough, cough. First girlfriend, first kiss......etc!, second pint I ever had, at the Dalton arms, bike rides, walks, combing the shore opposite Sunderland point. Family static caravan at Lambs farm 1971 to 83. No Smokehouse then, but that looked lovely as well as expensive. You drone shots were absolutely fantastic, showed Glasson in a totally different light. Perfik! ! Thank you again.

I usually watch more adventure sports type videos with surfing, skateboarding and mountain biking in, but these videos have a lovely pace and am getting to see an alternative view of the North West. I didn't know that the Leeds/Liverpool has that branch that takes you up to the Ribble, i've crossed the River Douglas bridge at Tarlton hundreds of times and just thought the other waterway was just a drainage ditch, so thank you for educating me, a great little channel. I'm sure you'll get to 100k and get you RUclips silver button.

    We live in the BIngley area, and often walk the Leeds and Liverpool towpath between Bingley and Saltaire or Shipley. We were having a short break in Morecambe, and without planning walked along the coast to Hest Bank and then along the Lancaster Canal towpath over the Lune Aqueduct into Lancaster. It was a lovely walk. The next day we visited Glasson Dock, but unfortunately the heavens opened and we curtailed the visit. We will visit again on a nicer day.

    I've had a busy day, and then I watched your video, and found myself relaxing, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the breathtaking sunset. You are so lucky to live in such beautiful, constantly changing surroundings. By the way, that unplanned dip looked brrr... cold, even though you said it wasn't. Those rascals who greased all the lock handles should be hung by their toe nails. (It was my greatest threat toward my kids when they misbehaved - and it always worked. Go figure.). :-)

      Loving your Vlog, and my best mate and I are inspired to look at our own narrow boat.
      We hire one every year when we visit from Downunder and are hooked. We have nothing like it in Oz.
      Would love to bump into you boys on the water during a visit, thought it’ll probably be next year thanks to the “Rona”
      We’d definitely laugh the night away, I am there with you Colin as I suffer bad Anxiety and awful PTSD thanks to 26 years in military and 9 years nursing which I never regret. I’ve learned to love life and have fun.a

    Thank you for sharing. I'm watching your vlog from Cave Creek, Arizona. I used to live in Fleetwood, Blackpool and St Anne's, many years ago. I spent my childhood and young adult life around Lancaster Canal and Glasson Dock. Many walks and picnics on the tow path. I loved the area and needed a memory jog. I was told by old navy guys that Glasson Dock was used by Royal Navy Ships ( Admiral Lord Nelson) and navy crew docked there. It was a secret place where smuggling took place. Tunnels were known to be linking stately homes and even the church to the shore as contraband was abundant arriving from pirate ships, tea cutters and frigates. It's history was amazing.
    I live with horses in the Sonoran desert. My favorite camper is the Arctic Fox. I still love narrow boats and yours is Silver Fox. I really needed to see your vlog. Thanking you for being there. 💘 from Arizona 🇺🇸.

    Thank you for the video. I'm glad that you mentioned the bike paths. They run on the old railway lines or beside the sea, so no steep hills! Lots of possibilities, they intersect the canal at Glasson, the Bulk rd aqueduct & Carnforth. Lancaster, Morecambe, the Crook o' Lune & places beyond are there for you to explore & enjoy. Again thanks for the video of my old home.

    I commented on the video after your meltown, reassuring you that being together is the only thing that matters. So today, I'm messaging you, after my long term Mrs and absolute love of my life has left. Three weeks ago I lost my job, and to be honest I don't know what's left for me, I'm heartbroken.....
    Mental Health is a part of all our lives in varying degrees..... and talking about it is vital. I just repeat what I said. When you have someone to love, who loves you back, hang on with both hands.... because as long as you have each other.... nothing else matters..... nothing at all.
