Another fantastic episode, that bridge built the way it was, absolutely amazing. Brilliant designer. Big shout out of thanks to the many volunteers who keep the canals and paths in good order.
What a very interesting vlog, i have been a member since the mid 70s and your vlog will.bring more interest to this very worthwhile project. Beyond Stroud you have Brimscombe Port and then rise to the summit at Daneway and then the Sapperton tunnel which is 2.16 miles long and took 5 years to build, It opened in 1789 and at that time it was the longest tunnel in the world. Unfortunately there are several roof falls so this will be a huge challenge for the CCT
It's amazing what is achieved by volunteers on the canals in Britain. I was watching your video and was interrupted by an early morning earthquake here in Wellington, New Zealand. Happy festive season to you both, Fran and Rich. ❤
Fantastic to see all this work coming to fruition. I've seen various bits of video around the internet, all describing the bridges, the roundabout that had to be moved, and the Missing Mile, where the canal had to be re-dug. Beautiful to see it all together ❤️. Great job, volunteers, and Fran and Rich
Lovely to see this even though we live 1/4 mile from Pike Lock😂😂it’s such a beautiful place to walk, run , cycle . My hedgerow jam comes from its hedges every year. .
Brill’ thanks for sharing. I’d love to volunteer on a canal restoration. Becoming part of the canal’s story. As well as walking and working in the footsteps of those incredible Navvies of the past. Amazing. Thanks again. 🙂🐿️🌈❤️
What an amazing account of this restoration well done in bringing this to yours and other boaters viewers look forward to receding more info on progress. I think your license fees represent very good value for money The canals are a beautiful way of life seen through your eyes Thank you Fran and Rich ❤️
Nice way to start my day. Fires stared. Warm breakfast. Your video and no snow to scoop. We got 11" blown away by a friend and I have a house guest. An Ermine. Hopefully she will clean out the voles before she leaves. She's very cute and lovely. thank You!
Hi Fran and Rich what a great project should be amazing when it's finished a great canal to boat on thumbs up to all the workers great video thankyou ❤
What a great video you have made! So great that they invited you and you are able to help with getting the word out. All that volunteer work is very impressive, and so important. It’s wonderful that you are willing to help out while you there. This is an amazing project. I really look forward to seeing the work progressing! It does sound like this could be a very popular canal for people who want to visit the Cotswolds.
You made that very especially interesting for me as I know all those places you showed and have been a member since early 1980s and only moved away 8 years ago and they have come on in leaps and bounds since then. How amazing is the prize winning roundabout on the A38 project not to mention getting the canal under the railway bridge at Stonehouse. Anything is possible. Thank you. .
Wow, and more wow that was so interesting. Soooo much work and engineering. Once finished it will be absolutly awesome. Thank you for this informative video. Lovely to see you. Regards from Québec Canada. " Trala love"❤️
We absolutely loved this vlog especially as our part of the country,and very much share the same interesting,you would never know all this work going on behind the scenes.what a great vlog hopefully drum up a lot more interest and support for them,so close to connecting to Saul junction,could not believe when they crossed the A38 how quickly and efficiently all the work was done its absolutely fantastic,hopefully that part in our time🎉🎉but the biggest challenge I should imagine going back the other way is the long tunnel at sapperton nr Coates will definitely not be in our time mores the pity,a lot of work needed. But well done on the vlog it was fabulous you both do a great job and we really enjoy them thank you👏🏻👏🏻jean and pete
Fascinating vlog. Very informative. Perhaps with the power of RUclips, yourselves and the other great canal vloggers could really draw more attention and donations to these much needed projects. 🎉😊
Hats off to all the volunteers willing to give their time freely and no doubt in all weathers.😊

Did I understand correctly - that the canal will be open by December 2025 from Saul to Stroud ?
Agree with everyone -a very interesting vlog, fantastic work done by the Cotswold volunteers. 💙🦋
