I've run out of superlatives to praise your vlogs! Always look forward to the weekly treat! Thank you for explaining how you put the vlogs together - a major bit of work. But, as a viewer, I can say that the care and work you put into the filming and editing and choice of music is ALWAYS worth it! Oh, and the scenery in this blog is beautiful and the history of Buggy Basin is fascinating!
As always a great vlog. Your research on every place that you visit is outstanding and educational. Anyone can see that you strive for perfection and along with your personalities, make each production worth waiting for. Looking forward to view many more enjoyable narrowboat experiences with you. Love and hugs to all three of you. x
No dislikes and well-deserved for the effort put into this and other presentations filled with sights and sounds of the most beautiful and historic parts of England's countryside. You literally take us there, though we are thousands of miles away.
Excellent to see the work put in on producing these vlogs....not from a techie or geeky standpoint (coz what do I know) but just from the realization of how much time and effort and passion is devoted to the process. Thank you so much - it’s all been brilliant so far. You have a talent for this, no question. I’m so happy to have had the pleasure of following along.... Thanks again, Hollers.
Was born and grew up in Bux(gs)worth and so pleased you call it Buggy, which many older locals still do. My gran used to live at Gnat Hole cottages on Silk Hill and it's certainly a steep climb towards the top. Your research is spot on and even the pictures of the Heron and the pigs are so true. I walk along the canal and tramway very frequently and it's nice to see it through your eyes as well. Thank you for a most enjoyable video and including some old photos that I've not seen before.
I don't know how you do it guys but your vlogs just get better & better each week !! I particularly liked the footage of the heron taking flight & of course your drone footage. Super stuff chaps.
UK time your vlog comes out at 4. My time, first thing in the morning. I make myself wait all day, when I can focus, to watch the episode. After a stressful week you two are a great antidote!
Wow that's a lot of time to make these vlogs - thank you - we all love them! Enjoy the history titbits you put in - there's such a rich, fascinating history to the canals that deserves telling. x
The views from and of your boat are truly first class. The department of tourism should be reaching out to you for to promote those beautiful parts of the UK..
Not surprising that your vlogs take so long. The quality shines through. Hats off to you both for acknowledging all the comments and posts on all your channels too 👍. Elsie Tanner! There’s a blast 😊. Dillon seems to often be getting a towelling. Bless him
Appreciate the long hours you put into filming and editing these vlogs. You make it look effortless though! Following your route on a satellite view map is now a must.
I love the fact that you talk about the history of the places you guys visit. It makes it more interesting to watch. You guys are ace and am glad you can shear your journey with us... I love dillan and the silver fox what a boat x
An absolutely wonderful video! I really enjoy the humor, the nature, the history.... all of it! We live in Abilene, Kansas, USA, and have nothing like your canal system in our area. You are doing a fantastic job of showing and telling the story of the UK and canals. Thank you for all your hard work!
You make it sound so simple. We can all see how much goes into each vlog. Just watching the outtakes shows how hard you work at getting everything just right. And you still have time for a laugh! Love you both xx
You’re welcome chaps. I watch every week. Not only are your vids well shot and produced, they are above it all, interesting and funny. Stay well and keep posting.
6:40 "Editing our vlog is really quite simple." * Goes on to describe elaborate, laborious process. * In any case, this proves a point about basically any human endeavour: if you want to produce quality, you've got to use good equipment and put in a lot of work.
Blessed be Colin's amazing ears - about the only channel where speech and music are on the same volume. Apart from when Shaun screams "We're back!" on the live chat, where I had timed it perfectly to know you'd been gone...
Friday always brings a smile to my face. You guys are so cheerful..(when your not complaining). I look forward to each and every vlog. Keep safe, enjoy the shortbread and I will see you next week.
I'm watching this again. Just to give myself homesickness. Originally from New Mills, now in NZ. I get back when I can. Meanwhile, your videos are awesome. xxx
Loving your work guys. Gotta say I’m hooked and look forward to the new vlog every week. What you present to us is both entertaining and informative. The views are spectacular. Keep up the brilliant work both of you and more camera time for Dillon.
Your videos are so beautifully put together. I'm not surprised how much time it takes you. You've got a real artistic eye behind your production and use of music.
It's a regular visitor around here, it'll stand there staring in to the water as you walk by, barely paying you any attention (as long as you don't have a dog). I've only seen it once this year though, but it comes and goes. Pig-wise there's only one now.
Love all your vlogs, and have seen them all. Have to say yours stand out because of the excellent quality of filming and in particular the historical and factual detail you add, which makes them really enjoyable, and to fellow boaters gives really useful information on locations. I have to say i also love the music you add Colin. It matches up to the views beautifully. Love the hilarious moments you and Shaun share. Happy cruising nbSilver Fox!
So VERY much enjoyed this one Colin and Shaun. The drone footage was nothing short of exceptional, but I have to say, the icing on the cake, is how well researched your history of the sites you visit are. I so much appreciate learning about things like Lime, Kilns, old Infrastructure; it is quite fascinating. I so appreciate how England has preserved so much of her heritage, especially from the Industrial Revolution. I have one request though . . . could you guy's possibly adopt me so that I could become a citizen??? Thanks for this one, it was well worth the wait ;)
Awww, Michael, thank you. I love researching where we go and it's amazing that people find it so interesting. As for adoption...? If you can clean and wash up then we might be able to arrange something 😂
yeah bloody hell ive finally binge watched and caught up with you two , totally loving these videos , me and my hubby were always going to do this but we ended up getting divorced so that was that , so thanks to you two lovely gents im living my dream through you , so thankyou you videos are great and so relaxing and funny , now ive got to catch up with martin zeros videos i kinda forgot about him . thanks
Can I like this twice? Sean doing the swing bridge... he was so proud standing on the towpath... it opened and everything and Dillon getting ready for Halloween with the white towel ghost look haunting Silver Fox . Lovely stuff and again the drone footage - well some shots looked like paintings. (Foxes Afloat calendar for next year?)
Always knew it took a LOT of work to put your vlogs together. Cool to see though and your choice of music is spot on. Excellent quality footage aswell 👏👏👏
Another great vlog!!! Loooooove the bike. I have the same brand which I have ridden many, many miles along the Delaware Canal in Pennsylvania. Truly admire the work that you do and look forward to my peek into your world every Friday.
The drone view of Bugsworth Basin at the 5:05 point seriously messed with my head; it first registered in my mind as the curved part at left side of screen being on an incline and going over the straight part on right, which went in a tunnel under the curve. Wait a minute! My brain knows, knows, truly knows, that a water surface can't be on a slope like a road surface can! But yet that's exactly what my brain was telling me that my eyes were seeing!
GM Colin and Shaun , it is interesting to learn about the different kinds on industry the canals were used for , glad you got your bike colin well done on the bumpy trail , lovely scenery and ariel shots and well done Shaun sorting the boatie out in the dark . was wondering if the canals were any good for fishing thanks x
I spotted a bike on board , being a keen cyclist i couldn't miss it. Not seen any blogs from on your bike would be a nice idea when you stop to have a few minutes of cycling around the vicinity... loved the slow mo of the heron brilliant timing.. im a keen photographer too.. between all that a keen kayaker just like you.. Will continue watching the rest of the blog now.. have fun keep smiling and above all be yourselves.. cheers kev
Very much enjoy your programs if im feeling a bit down when i watch you 2 on your vlog it always buts a smile on my face keep it up very much looking forward to the next one thankyou from terry from uk
Random story no one cares about but me! I remember buggy basin very fondly as the place where the songwriting on vixen was finalised. We had a friend of the family with us and I remember my father and uncle discussing it and deciding on “crossland and co canal steerage” couple of months later it was done and that was that. I really miss that boat! I’d buy her back now if I could find her.
Just had an operation on my leg and I am recovering at home. Lovely way to rest is to watch your and other narrowboaters vids! Thanks for making these.
Honestly, how can we put six thumbs down? Colin, thank you for looking for different shots, music and putting all this together for us, it’s really great work 6 thumbs down = 6 idiots very very very stupid Big kisses to both and a bigger one to Dillon
I just noticed the same thing and wondered why. Then I looked at a few other vlogs and they seem to attract a few thumbs down as well. Why? It's not like the boys are saying anything contraversial or opinionated. I love watching these as I'm working in UAE and seeing the lovely green English countryside makes my day.
Haha! Christel, most channels have a small group of trolls that religiously dislike videos for whatever reason. We love our haters 💜 A dislike counts equally as engagement with the channel and boosts our popularity on RUclips's algorithms 😉
Hey guys. Another great vlog - I had to come to the USA for work, Portland Oregon, but thank god that RUclips works here and I can catch up with this week’s adventures. I have to say, I’m not surprised it takes you so long to edit your vlogs. Of all the vlogs I subscribe to, yours is by far the most superior - I love the quality of the filming, and particularly the amazing drone footage. Colin you have an amazing eye and ear for setting the right tone with just the right music for the great footage you’ve captured. I absolutely love getting lost in the spectacle of the aerial footage you have. It’s narrowboat porn - just amazing! Please don’t get burnt out doing all the vlogs though - remember to take a break and enjoy your time afloat. I love your pieces to camera, but don’t beat yourself up too hard when you get it wrong - just be yourself and leave your mishaps in. Anyway, looking forward to catching up with your next instalment soon. Take care, Darren xx
Hey, Darren 👋 'Narrowboat Porn' Hahaha! 😂 Love it! I really enjoy producing these vlogs and burnout isn't something I (or Shaun) will let happen. If anything, I get bored if I'm not doing anything, so these help keep my mind occupied. Have fun in Portland! x
So Shaun think about doing a book about your life on the canals and your love for Colin, Dillon and Otis. We( your enduring fans) would definately support you and buy it!! Given you have approximately 30 years of experience( ha ha) we would love to hear your take on life with the man of your dreams and your pets! Love you guys. So proud of you. Yes proud. You share so much with us and deal so courageously with the craziness in this world. Well anyway, think about it. A book called and then there was Dullion and Otis or love children on the locks.
California here.... How is all of this possible? I am aware of the Channel Trust BUT it must take thousands of people and tons of resources to provide water, electrical hookups, refuse cleanup, etc. How is all of this fully funded to ensure resources are available in the future?
I really enjoy the little histories that you give us, and of course the beautiful scenery that you show us. And then there is the two of you! Always entertaining.
Okay, Okay Okay, this video is now my NEW FAVORITE!!! I love and adore all the history. Great work guys and thank you for all your hard work. I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for the next video.!
Hello guys .. I'm loving your channel .. found you last month :)) ... You are very interesting with all your snippets of history and love the fun you have making these videos
Sitting on the couch across the pond on a Saturday with a cup of coffee. I'm in aw at the beautiful scenery and these awesome canals you folks have. One of these days I'll have to take a trip.
all your time spent editing is well worth it! I watch quite a few vlogs and your picture quality and music have got to be the best . keep up the good work boys ( and Dylan !)
Beautiful countryside. 30 odd years ago we traveled from our south coast seaside village to Whaley Bridge to stay with my husbands brother. We had a fab time and returned home a week later with the most gorgeous 11 wk old German Shepherd puppy. He came from the pud in Whaley Bridge. He was the most amazing dog we ever owned and it was incredibly sad when he passed. So I have very fond memories of Whaley Bridge and Baron choosing us to be his forever family. 💖🤗🤗
Awww that brought back memories. We bought our first narrowboat on the Peak Forrest & had it surveyed and blacked at Furness Vale dry dock 9 years ago. Thanks for bringing the memories back 👍
Guys I’m really loving the direction of the channel with all the detail/information, pictures and history. Don’t get me wrong the early stuff is great but wow the vlogs just get better!! Keep up the super work and I’m looking forward to the next one and hope there are more great places like this and standedge tunnel to explore. Well done gents, tip of the cap to you both....
Respect for all the work, energy, care, time, and art you put into the making of these vlogs. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
@@FoxesAfloat This is the one part which made me join. A very small way of support to say thank you.
For the record, I truly appreciate the talent and effort that goes into these vlogs.

The great blue heron taking off from the water was incredible photography. Talent is easy to spot. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Ric 💜
The most beautiful footage you get on Britain in the media these days! 😉
Aww, thank you! 👍🏻
You have absolutely the most gorgeous photography work of any blogger I have watched.
Thanks so much 😊

Watching your last vlog, it's no wonder that you're both in great shape, that's a lot of hard work doing those locks/bridges.
They are!
Colin, love all of the extra tidbits, facts, history and side trails, things to do, you come up with about the canal or around it.
Thanks!
The heron shot 😮 fabulous! Those gangly legs do look awkward though when they're flying 😂🤣
Haha, they look so fragile!
Foxes Afloat I’ve never actually seen one land though, I wonder how they do it without face planting the ground lol!!
@@pammyb1972 With lots of practice as they're growing up I would imagine.
Colin you are a great Narrator far better than some of the well known celebrities that are on tv channels.
Awww, thanks, Craig. Give Channel 4 a call 😉

Your videos are so beautifully put together. I'm not surprised how much time it takes you. You've got a real artistic eye behind your production and use of music.

Aww, it's our pleasure 👍🏻
Hey guys. Another great vlog - I had to come to the USA for work, Portland Oregon, but thank god that RUclips works here and I can catch up with this week’s adventures.
I have to say, I’m not surprised it takes you so long to edit your vlogs. Of all the vlogs I subscribe to, yours is by far the most superior - I love the quality of the filming, and particularly the amazing drone footage. Colin you have an amazing eye and ear for setting the right tone with just the right music for the great footage you’ve captured. I absolutely love getting lost in the spectacle of the aerial footage you have. It’s narrowboat porn - just amazing!
Please don’t get burnt out doing all the vlogs though - remember to take a break and enjoy your time afloat. I love your pieces to camera, but don’t beat yourself up too hard when you get it wrong - just be yourself and leave your mishaps in.
Anyway, looking forward to catching up with your next instalment soon. Take care, Darren xx
Hey, Darren 👋
'Narrowboat Porn' Hahaha! 😂 Love it!
I really enjoy producing these vlogs and burnout isn't something I (or Shaun) will let happen. If anything, I get bored if I'm not doing anything, so these help keep my mind occupied.
Have fun in Portland! x
So Shaun think about doing a book about your life on the canals and your love for Colin, Dillon and Otis. We( your enduring fans) would definately support you and buy it!! Given you have approximately 30 years of experience( ha ha) we would love to hear your take on life with the man of your dreams and your pets! Love you guys. So proud of you. Yes proud. You share so much with us and deal so courageously with the craziness in this world. Well anyway, think about it. A book called and then there was Dullion and Otis or love children on the locks.
Ah, I can't write a note never mind a book 😂
California here.... How is all of this possible? I am aware of the Channel Trust BUT it must take thousands of people and tons of resources to provide water, electrical hookups, refuse cleanup, etc. How is all of this fully funded to ensure resources are available in the future?
It is a huge effort and the money is drying up! They rely on volunteers and donations.
I really enjoy the little histories that you give us, and of course the beautiful scenery that you show us. And then there is the two of you! Always entertaining.
Perfect. Lovely feedback and much appreciated 👍🏻
Okay, Okay Okay, this video is now my NEW FAVORITE!!! I love and adore all the history. Great work guys and thank you for all your hard work. I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for the next video.!
Thanks, Brenda! Next week we’re doing something a little different 😉
Hello guys .. I'm loving your channel .. found you last month :)) ... You are very interesting with all your snippets of history and love the fun you have making these videos
Aww, cheers, Cal! x
Sitting on the couch across the pond on a Saturday with a cup of coffee. I'm in aw at the beautiful scenery and these awesome canals you folks have.
One of these days I'll have to take a trip.
Yes! Definitely! 👍🏻
Brilliant vlog again, really enjoy the history of the area 's you visit. We would rather watch your vlogs than TV, many thanks 👍
It would save you money on a TV licence 👍🏻😂
all your time spent editing is well worth it! I watch quite a few vlogs and your picture quality and music have got to be the best . keep up the good work boys ( and Dylan !)
That's very kind of you to say. Thanks, Stephen 👍🏻
Beautiful countryside. 30 odd years ago we traveled from our south coast seaside village to Whaley Bridge to stay with my husbands brother. We had a fab time and returned home a week later with the most gorgeous 11 wk old German Shepherd puppy. He came from the pud in Whaley Bridge. He was the most amazing dog we ever owned and it was incredibly sad when he passed. So I have very fond memories of Whaley Bridge and Baron choosing us to be his forever family. 💖🤗🤗
Awwww, what an amazing memory! That's proper lovely, that is 😍
Great Vlog guys. Similar process to us with regards editing! Loved the rail history too..... Obviously.
Love a bit of trains 😉
Awww that brought back memories. We bought our first narrowboat on the Peak Forrest & had it surveyed and blacked at Furness Vale dry dock 9 years ago. Thanks for bringing the memories back 👍
Awwww, it's our pleasure, Heather 😍
All your hard work editing really shows up, great vlog especially all the limestone quarrying history. . Well done S & C
Awww, thanks Phil 👍🏻
Bugsworth has to be one of my favourite places to visit. Nice drone shots to good to see the basin from that view.
Yeah we love it there too. Love the Peak Forest Canal xx
Guys I’m really loving the direction of the channel with all the detail/information, pictures and history. Don’t get me wrong the early stuff is great but wow the vlogs just get better!! Keep up the super work and I’m looking forward to the next one and hope there are more great places like this and standedge tunnel to explore. Well done gents, tip of the cap to you both....
Much appreciated, Jared. Thank you 👍🏻
Thanks for the insight into how you make the video. Very interesting area and as always a great production.
Aww, thanks, John! 👍🏻
