Quite interesting video! I really enjoy watching these canal restoration videos . I like all the history lesson involved too.. I can hardly wait to see more of this project finished and your next videos on it! Watching from Missouri USA .
Your production quality is nuts, for a "small" channel this is really good! The new camera seems awesome, love the calmness in your images and love the drone overviews. Your a pleasant freak (we need more freaks like you!) to listen to, your talking a perfect calm tempo for a foreigner like me and no influencer BS. Good editing and music. the interview was really good to! I hope your channel will grow way bigger for you!
@@mainetje9027 wow thank you for such kind words! It’s not often I get complimented on things like this, usually I get told I’m doing something wrong! Thank you so much.
The last couple of videos have definitely seen an improvement in production. It’s why I decided to start chipping in. It’s only a little bit but if I ever get back in that part of the world (my family is in Bristol) I’ll try and track you down and buy you a coffee! Nice work.
Making good progress towards restoring the 'missing mile' which will be a milestone (pun intended) in this phase of the restoration. Thanks for very informative update,
How did I miss this one…. Once again. Very interesting. How do you find the time, I’ve got an interest in the Ashby, Derby, Lichfield and Nottingham Canals and would love to get some videos done on the subjects, I’ve had one in ‘production’ since 2023. Kudos as always!
@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 I work a lot! I’ve always been a workaholic, I have a business as well as this and 2 young kids. Somehow I get it in but I spend most days working on the tools, walking canals or editing/paperwork for about 12 hours a day, sometimes 14. When I go away filming I tend to go for about 3 days where I’ll 6am-10pm just driving, filming and sorting footage in the hotel. On the canals, I’ve got loads on the Lichfield, it’s one of my favourite. Derby and Ashby are both on my radar, I’ve got plans to visit both before the end of the year. The Nottingham is a little more difficult, apart from the Beeston cut there isn’t much to show. I’ve got 3 videos filmed on the Grantham which will come at some point one I’m going to have to split into 2 videos as it cover about 8-10 miles of the Trent end and it’s just way too long to leave as one video.
@@CourtAboveTheCut madness, I work mostly nights all over the Midland Mainline, all my ‘kids’ are grown up now and while I do live full time on my boat, I find it takes a good bit of time to edit footage to make it half decent… The time I do get to look into stuff like the Ashby is priceless, I’ve got on coming out very soon, I lived on the Ashby for a year, got a lot of investment over there …. Thanks for your insightful reply…
@@18robsmith most of the bridges exist or have been replaced. There’s the 2 new ones on the A38 roundabout then one needed at the Saul junction end. Obviously they are going under the M5 as well but that’s through an existing river channel (although the canal is actually lower) there’s also some smaller footbridges. To get to Brimscombe port there will be a bridge needed next to the ship inn pub.
@@CourtAboveTheCut they seem too be more interested in "things" while the populous is being slowly killed by invaders. They are denying people the right to self defense. Thats my point. Im all about preserving history but the PEOPLE come first!
I’m fat and walking through silt up to my waist at times, it’s tiring, a fit person would struggle so I apologise if I sound like the breathless fat man that I am
I try to make videos in a series, the first will always be heavy about where I am, what’s happening and history, I’ve made a lot of videos about this section so I don’t want to cover old ground
Brilliant video, please keep them coming.
@@geoffmorgan8476 thank you :) hopefully the new camera is providing better footage!

Thanks for the update, I used to explore the canal regularly, but now that I no longer live in the area I am reliant on you for updates on progress.
@@Sarge084 there should be plenty coming soon!

@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 no I problem, I’ll keep an eye out when it comes, I’ll be doing 2 videos on the abandoned end
Will any "new" bridges be built to allow modern leisure or historic commercial traffic?

@@michaelkaiser1864 what’s your point?

Slow down: too breathless, and the camera pans too fast. But great story nevertheless.
Yes , I've noticed he moves on too quick to his next sentence and talks as if we know the area that he he's talking about.
