Watched the television series and it’s brilliant. There should be more stuff on television like it. Similar to when Fred Dibnah was on. It’s called the Peak Forest canal because it was supposed to carry on from Buggy basin all the way to Chesterfield passing through a little village called Peak Forest but they couldn’t do it because there’s too much rise over the hills to get through and it would have taken too many lock gates. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant Sam thank you so much!! 8^)
@jon jon so good they named you twice eh? Did you look up paedophilia on an american dictionary site. Good job you have nothing better to do than tar everybody with the same brush. I am sure the BBC would have been prosecuted if they were guilty. Robbie is just trying to make a living by producing great videos, whereas your 'job', trolling, is not classified as a job. BTW you don't need 2 full stops at the end of a sentence. (.!)
The fact that the proposed route was in limestone country was also a major concern - keeping a canal watertight over limestone would be near impossible
@@RobbieCumming hey man dont go away we need ya, life sucks sometimes,boy dont i know i live in a red state,whoa.
Your series was the best thing on TV for years.
Watched every episode of canal boat diaries, I find them very interesting and also relaxing viewing. I like the way you mix the canal journey with the historic and picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. All done with a down to earth and easy to follow narrative. Well done and keep them Cumming 😁
After over 50 years in Canada and Vermont the scenery in your videos makes me pine for England.
Super interesting to watch different narrowboat vloggers explore the same canals.Each of y'all's got a unique perspective, and together y'all really bring these places to life :)
I see our notorious Canada Geese have migrated to the UK. In Canada we call them Cobra Chickens because of their aggressive behaviour. Lovely birds but a huge nuisance in public parks where their poop makes many places unusable. They are constantly grazing but their digestive system is basically a 20 minute round trip from grass to poop. Love your channel, cheers !
There HAS to be a second series
Loved the tv series, but also great to see you back on you tube.
Brilliant Robbie, lovely video, also thank you and the team for the BBC episodes, so good to get away from the stress and watch. Take care now
I hope they give you a second series. It was from the first episode that I discovered you and I subsequently watched some of the you tube stuff. I’ve often wanted to hire a narrow boat but have never yet done it so watching you has saved me all the effort. Well done! A great watch. And I speak as an O A P.
Thanks Robert!
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the 'Diaries'. I'm a canal nerd and have been since the mid 1960s when I surveyed all of the sites in the midlands where a canal had a common boundary with the railway, so many of the places that you covered are familiar to me. My wife, who is not so enthusiastic, was also impressed by the series and we both hope that you are able to do more.
Ha ha excellent to have you both watching, what an honour. Cheers!
Robbie, been following you for a while and can’t express how much I’ve enjoyed your BBC series. I find your videos really relaxing to watch and your kind personality shines through all the time. Plus I love your music references, the Armitage Shanks / Green Day reference in episode 1 made me laugh out loud as that was me also listening to that album back in the day! Anyway, thank you and I wish you every success. You deserve it 😎🤘
Excellent! It’s the little things! Cheers!
Loved the Beeb series, welcome back to reality
Always great to see footage of my local canal and your editing and different views make it more so. For anyone else going to Bugsworth/Buxworth/Buggy Basin (valid alternatives!), you can continue into the hills on the old trackbed of the Peak Forest Tramway (a 3' 6" early railway) for a few miles.
If you’re going to walk up the tramway the old inn at chinley is well worth a visit!
@@38thfoot Old Hall, yes, good shout!
Loved it , the sound of the engine, the greenery, the history. Lovely.
Good evening, I'm happy to see you again, very beautiful Peak Forest region
I live just down the road from Bugsworth Basin in Buxton and it's a shame the canals never got here , I suppose there was an engineering reason for this but two railways did transform the movement if goods from here . Happy travels 😊
Another cracking video & the TV series is brilliant thanks m8 keep em coming 👍
Live just down the road and scheduled to take ownership of a 50ft boat in April which will be based somewhere between buxworth and Macclesfield. Really enjoyed the series and tube blogs.
So good to see you. Excellent Vlog. Beautiful!!!
Fantastic TV series, fantastic vlogs,watched them all.
Nowhere in your league Robbie enjoyed your series about 40 yrs on and off on the Canals as you point out thats the real life on the cut
Thanks to you and the BBC EXCELLENT mate (Old Git on the Cut)
Thanks for taking us into New Mills, I had a friend at boarding school whose folks had a farm between there and Marple, so my first visit back for "some" years.
Really interesting and enjoyable and super fantastic how you found a vegetarian place for breakfast, best meal of the day. Thanks robbie.
I don’t often have breakfast but yes I think it’s my favourite!
Great to see you back Robbie!
I really hope you get to make another series, just so wonderful to watch, and the music so relaxing. I felt as though I was travelling along the canal with you. Wonderful series on the television.
You’ve got me hooked Robbie, absolutely brilliant as was the TV series.
Excellent vlog Robbie, thank you. Your TV series was excellent as well. I think you learned a lot when doing that and that knowledge is reflected in your own video now. Many thanks.
Really enjoyed your video. Thanks
Watched your tv series both myself and my partner really enjoyed it we hope that there is more to come in the future.
I love the Peak Forest Cana. It probably my favourite canal. Thank you for the reminder. Paul
I really enjoyed the series, well done.
Beautiful place.
Great to have you back on RUclips, and well done with the TV show👌
Always enjoyable… Always professional. Great stuff.
Beautiful Canal! Thanks for sharing with us Robbie!
You’re welcome Eric good to hear from you
Thanks Robbie, once again wonderful video, wonderful to see the beautiful Peak District and New Mills, happen to have an aunty lives there. I have seen other boaties having done this canal and all say the same. We will be back.
Fantastic achievement, Robbie. Well done and keep up the good work!
Thanks Iain much appreciated mate
Robbie really enjoyed your first series on the telly ! Good to see you back to vlogging
Cheers Al 👍
Robbie, the new Tim & Pru !
Great your back on the tube.
Happy cranking keep safe and dry.
Nice to see Buxworth Basin is now in use as it was being restored the last time I was that way it looked like a great mooring.
I am glad that you mentioned the smell from the Swizzles factory when you passed through New Mills as for my family it was like visiting a giant sweet shop. Another great video Robbie - keep on cranking, I am looking forward to your next series!
Congrats on the BBC series. I watched all five. I liked the added dimension of the drone footage and you and the team did an excellent job of cramming so many miles into each 29 minute long episodes. I am sure it gave non-boaters a good insight into canal life. However, your RUclips videos are far superior! Your comment that New Mills is a tourist town. TBH, I don't think New Mills has ever been considered a tourist town. It's an old industrial mill town and not long ago was quite run down, but it has improved a bit and I love it, it's an honest, friendly town in a beautiful and interesting location. I don't know why specifically they named the canal "Peak Forest" but there is a small village by nearby Chapel-en-le-Frith called Peak Forest. I wish I was up there now, but the canal at Bollington will be closed until March :( Great to have you back on RUclips mate!
Cheers Ben good to be back and see your comments also - will have to catch up at some point!
Loved it Robbie as always! Keep it Cranking....Mark
got to say loved the BBC4 mini-series m8 binge-watch of the week lol fingers crossed you do another we really enjoyed it take care m8 looking forward now to hopefully more vlogs on here
Hi Robbie, watched your TV series which we really enjoyed, so now we can follow you on youtube for more enjoyment. Great video. hope to emulate it on our cruiser next year, as we just got a 27ft cruiser. Keep them coming, and hope that you get another series on Tv.
Thank you Malcolm v kind!
Great to see you again! What beautiful places you get to visit! Love your music, the pubs, those goslings. Congrats on the series! ^_^
Aw thanks Esther!
The TV Series was great. I do so hope you get a future series.
Lovely footage today vlog thanks and really enjoyed the tv series too have taken a boat into Liverpool many years ago thanks
Enjoyed your TV series, binge watched the whole lot, thanks for making it!
Thank you - had some very experienced people helping me so can’t claim all the credit!
I would echo the sentiments about a second series! As an occasional film maker I always like to see other individuals getting some credit for what they do, it always encourages me to keep making content.
So glad to see another video from you, started to get withdraw pains it's been so long lol. I still am amazed at the views some of the canals have. Thanks.
Thanks John yeah some of the best views on this one
Enjoyed the video, Robbie. It brought back a few memories. When I was a teenager in the Seventies I used to have a Saturday job at the Swizzels factory. I remember working in a fog of sweet dust as I tried to sweep the place clean (impossible task!) and having communal brew-ups of industrial-strength tea from a huge teapot. My late father worked at Swizzels for many years and we still have a photo of him alongside Princess Diana when she visited the factory. Happy days.
Sounds amazing thanks for sharing Keith!
Great to see the Vlogs back, I was getting withdrawal symptoms even though I binged watched all of them last week! Thanks to you I actually got two answers right on University Challenge tonight as they had set of questions on canals :-)
Really??! That’s brilliant I never get any of those questions right!
Very much enjoyed your tv series and so hunted you out on here. You have an excellent presentation style ideal for this laid back lifestyle. Please don't let your fame go to your head.
Absolutely love the videos and the 5 episodes on bbc4 were just superb .
If there isn't a second series I'll be writing to my MP :)
Look forward to many more. You are a natural TV presenter for this and many similar subjects as you breathe enthusiasm. Must be cold today - 2nd December. OK in May.
yay! mr celebrity is back! 😊🎉😎
great vid! mind you, your on it so how could it be any more than brilliant! cranked to full!
Ha ha cheers Geoff!
Really enjoyed your TV debut..... Hope they do some more...... It was easy watching it
Hey Robbie, I loved the vlog, it's so beautiful there. Your filming is getting better and better. Nearly pub of the week 😀 vinyl and retro sweets, what more could anyone want to see them.through the cold dark season. Thanks for your winter sunshine. 🌞 More of the same please.
Thanks Dianne cheers for sticking with me!
Nice one Robbie . Binge watched the TV show this moning , Very enjoyable .
Great vids. Keep up the great work
Beautiful countryside!👍✌️😊🙏🏼
You're so cool and a bit saucy :)
Wonderful life!
I really loved your series! It was so amazing! Congratulations! Oh and merry Christmas (if you celebrate of course)
Thanks Elisa! Yep been helping my gf with Christmas tree just today!
Hi Robbie
Enjoyed the video watched your tv debut excellent shame it was not on for a hour hope BBC do more of them showed the reality of boating not just the good side
Looking forward to the next video
great to see the Buddha doing it's job! loved the series and keep Cranking it on Spotify
Hiya Roger!! Yeah unfortunately lost it under a bridge later in the summer but I think it brought me enough Karma to reach the end of the Huddersfield anyway!!
I'm a trucker from the area . Go past Bugsworth basin on bypass most days , good to see it from the canal side . Watched u tv series , enjoyed it . You'll get a second series .
Ah I used to live in Marple! Really pleased for you with your TV series! About time! X
Thanks Stephanie 🤓👍
good to see you im playing catch up on I player but enjoying it immensely well done m8
I've never understood why you don't have more subs... your vlogs are original, well editted, great music and you come across as a genuine and humble bloke. I've not seen your TV series but hopefully you get a load of subs and patrons out of it.
Thanks - probably because I don’t subscribe to the RUclips algorithm with adverts and pumping out videos every day! Just grateful that the right kind of people are subscribing 🤓
@@RobbieCumming Aye, if you're not catering to 12 year olds RUclips is shite. But still a good way to find an audience I guess, then you can go elsewhere and give Google the finger.
Loved your TV series hope you had time to enjoy the many good pubs in Marple. I grew up there, still visit regularly and started my drinking there in the Navi & the Ring of Bells
Ahh well I only had one night there so I tried one place - The Samuel Oldknow?
Dude that place looks amazing...
Cheers Craig!
Missed the TV series (due to not having a TV!) but soon as I'm at my 'rents' for Xmas, I know what I'll be looking for on the catch-ups! Lovely vlogs as always - always make the day better 👍
We really enjoyed your TV series. Hopefully you'll get to do a second one.
Cheers Robbie like the last bloke I really loved the tv series here's hoping for more but hey just discovered this, quite near me the old peak cut, well, a bus ride away one direction. Going the other way Ashton under lyne canal basin is another bus ride to view canal life (no canals in Glossop) Because of the worse man flu in history, 3 and half weeks now over Christmas, laying in bed with cup of tea in hand chugging along with you (bed became narrow boat) got me through the holidays (didn't see a soul thank heavens for Iceland online deliveries)). Thanks a bunch , keep on keeping on ! (did I really say that.............
Great video. Incredible you've film it all on an iphone, well done. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Margaret v kind!
Nice one Robbie 👍👍
Well, it's about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, snowing here, expecting about a foot over the next two days and you post this lovely blog ! Sigh...thanks Robbie !
Ah you’re welcome thanks for watching Sue!
I hope they do make some more, I really enjoyed watching. I’ll keep up the Patreon even though you’re now rich and famous.
Ha ha thanks Grant!
Swizzells not Swizzits! 😂😂😂
Sorry! I’m obviously not much of a sweet tooth!!
I really hope you get to do an Autumn/Winter series for the BBC. The common trend it seems is for all these films being shot for spring/summer but the "real life" includes winter as well does it not? After all, as boaters all know, it's not all about beautiful weather and G&T's on a pretty afternoon cruise. And for narrowboating, you're the man to show how it's done Mr Cumming. Love your work.
Aussie Boater agreed 👍 hope you’re keeping warm
From you’re tv series! Subscribed and enjoy you’re videos :)
Hi Rob, great to see you back on the tube, forest can me two things, forest as we know lots of trees or the old English “A defined area of land set aside in England as royal hunting ground or for other privileged use; all such areas.” For example the New Forest.
To have a canal in a very hilly area without any or few locks is quite an achievement
Hi Robbie,
Just a note to wish you a happy Christmas and a trouble free ( especially the engine ) new years cruising.
Cheers Ian v kind
Can't wait for your TV series to come to Australia. Great vlog today
Thanks Hugh!
keep on crankin' Robbie a lifesyle I wish I had made....
TV series was awesome. Really enjoyed it Robbie. Great that they used your own music too. I have downloaded those tracks too and they are just as good to listen to in the car when you just want to chill out. There so needs to be a second series! Just found out someone in my family is looking at buying a Narrowboat to live on too. Great to see you back here on RUclips!
Ahh brill thanks Rob great to be back!
Your growing on me slowly , but this one I liked a lot🙂
Loved your series A LOT. Can’t have cost that much to make. So, in the words of a character from Alan Partridge, “give him
a second series you swine!” 😄.
I'm lucky enough to drive to Chesterfield through such places like Disley and onwards over the Peak District via the A623. It's stunning enough by road, but here n there I grab glimpses of canal, particularly a lovely spot at Furness Vale.
Another beaut of a vlog Robbie! 👍
Cheers Chris!!!
Nice vlog Robbie.................
This was good timing, just watched the end of the 5th episode about an hour ago. Really enjoyed watching it with me Dad and my son, not many programs can span age gaps like that. Well done and if you find my pants round your prop... sorry bout that.
He he thanks mate glad to hear (not about yer pants ha ha!)
Loving the video Robbie working though them when I should working 🙈
😂👍👍
Absolutely fantastic series Robbie you have a new follower and canal fan keep it up buddy 👍🏼😎
Welcome on board Neil!
@@RobbieCumming thanks mate just watched this one 👍🏼😎
Fingers crossed for BBC commissioning more episodes 👍
Kayaked from bugsworth to marple and back visited new mills a few times
Peak Forest is so called because it was at one time the Royal Hunting Forest of the King, the administrator being Bailiff William Peveril who built the castle above Castleton in 1068. Great videos, take care...
Interesting! Thanks John!
Watched all the series in one night robbie it was really fantastic. They'd be fools not to do more series :) You passed me on the way into Liverpool at Scarisbrick we had a quick chat as you were moving.
Ah nice one Steve yes I think I remember!
It's called the Peak Forest Canal because originally the plan was to take it to extensive limestone quarries near the village of Peak Forest.
Just to let you know there are tons of moorings in Whaley Bridge, just moor by the Tesco down in the valley, they're CRT long term moorings but they're hardly ever used and always empty, everyone moors there when visiting. And Whaley is worth a visit, a pretty village with several good pubs, my favourite being the Goyt Inn, a boater's pub near the canal basin full of canal paraphenalia. Loved your series and watched each episode several times on BBC i player, you passed my boat in it moored at Bugsworth Basin and in this video too! The blue one at the beginning. I did the same trip as you did in the series this summer, into Liverpool and back, though went down the Macc, up the Trent and Mersey, diverting to spend two weeks on the Weaver down the Anderton Boat Lift (well worth a visit) and round the Cheshire Ring to the Bridgewater then into Liverpool from there.
Ah great stuff thanks Michael!
