    My late husband and I found a mooring like that on the Grand Union.About 6 o'clock in the evening a peacock turned up from God knows where and strutted down the towpath. What a privilege on a beautiful summers evening.

    Hi guys, I have an idea, instead of buying poop bags buy nappy sacks they are the same size as poop bags but they're perfumed and you get more of them for roughly a quid 👌😉.

There are bigger ones but from what I hear from you this little one is more than enough. It shoul do the trick. New, costs here in Germany € 50, - 100, . if used , even less.

    Good Moaning...I was pissing by the door... Was that a landlocked canal boat at about 4:50? What's the story on that? And later you passed a tipi? What country are you in?

      Haha! No idea about the landlocked boat but I’m sure someone will enlighten us before long.

    I have to tell you, living in the back of beyond in Mallorca, I'd never heard of Superdry, then I kept seeing you both wearing Superdry t-shirts from time to time, I honestly thought they were some kind of freebies from a dry cleaners in the UK😂😂. It wasn't until after a shedload of your vlogs later when I saw a glimpse of a Superdry shop on your Birmingham vlog (about half an hour ago) that I realised it's a popular clothing brand! 😂😂😂

    I don't know how I got on to watching your youtube but I have found it both entertaining and saddening. My husband was quite enamored with English culture. He would travel to London in the off season just to shop at Harrods. I met him after he stopped doing that but he always waxed nostalgic about going over there. This is nothing that he would have ever done but I have since thought how nice it would be to travel around in a mini RV here in America and visit some of the interesting places here. He died in January and I have been watching the two of you wishing what might have been. It seems as though you are having a thoroughly good time of it and really care about each other. We had gone many places here and I miss having him here and wanted to thank you for your travels.

    great vlog , it was very shallow on that canal , have you ever been stuck because it was too shallow ? you certainly see some funny sights on that canal , did i see right further back ? a barge just on a sort of a pond Next to the canal , & a Teepee haha .

    Great video lads, what a weird but beautiful stretch of canal. A land locked narrow-boat in a field, you passed through Injun country (Nice Teepee)👍 then found the Hitchcock's Psycho look a like house. 😨 Honestly only you two could come up with a comparison like that 🙄. Glad you got rid of trash mountain and filled up with food and water. Dillon looked like he enjoyed his walk, wonder how long it will take him to restock the poo bag pile? Keep safe guys, best wishes as always.

    As you can see the tunnel at Fenny Compton was never that far underground and it makes you wonder why they ever thought a tunnel was needed but I love that part of the Oxford canal it is so peaceful around there

    Ahh... an unbroken string of beautifully isolated moorings. And gorgeous weather too. The videography in this vlog was outstanding, especially the drone shots. Dillon did wonderful in his close-ups. You obviously do a lot of work choosing the music to match so well with the video. The music you chose for vlog #97 was enchanting. Wish I could have a long play of that. You both look tan and relaxed. A scratch on the neck to Dillon, hugs to you both. Stay well and strong. From a snowy upstate NY K

    Hi Foxes, a great Vlog and wonderful scenes as you travel along the cut. What was a highlight were the drone footage showing the medieval villages. Oh wow! Stunning views. Maybe you could make some calls and get the Time Team out - or whatever their name was - you know the show I'm talking about.
    Dillon and his smiles, Shaun and his laughs and Colin with his tattered shorts What a motley crew!
    Stay Safe everybody, we're in this together.
