  • We need to get a move on and beat the canal closure! A narrowboat journey on the Macclesfield Canal after five glorious weeks means we finally wave goodbye to the Peak Forest Canal as we move on exploring Britain by Narrowboat.
    But all is not well! A leak has led to a winter canal closure being brought forward so we can't hang about! Still, we do get some time soak in the beauty as we journey on the Macclesfield canal.
    Colin discovers the story of last paid Jester in the UK, as we head through Bollington and Macclesfield, continuing our adventure towards the Bosley flight of locks.
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    Dillon was a star in this one. He's the envy of all his shore-dog friends, who think it's his narrow boat with the two of you for his crew. Those outtakes at the last court jester's grave show all what it takes to make a VLOG as fine as yours. Just finding the flawless takes in your final cut must take an hour! Splendid music, by the way.

    Just fantastic production value in these Vlogs. I mean it’s like they have been produced by a professional video production corporation. The shots from the air the shots of your narrow boat from the perspective of the path etc. it takes so much time and energy I’m certain people have no idea.
    I have some idea and appreciate the effort. Thank you for all your hard work.

    Colin & Shaun. I discovered your most interesting channel a few weeks ago and am working my way through the blogs. The Macclesfield canal brought back many happy memories of being taught how to manage a canoe properly when I was in the Scouts; we used to go from around Higher Poynton. I lived near Stockport. I've also been enjoying Dillon's antics and the extremely high quality and professional video and sound you have produced. The drone gives it another dimension and of course you have the photographer's eye for a good camera angle. Well done and thank you for all the historical and local information you give us.

    I was born in Macclesfield and lived in Gawsworth for over 20 years (now live in France!) so loved this episode, it brought back a lot of memories including swimming in the canal when we couldn't catch any fish. (young and daft!)
    We always knew the grave as Maggoty Johnson's grave and the woods as Maggoty Johnson's wood and I spent many happy adolescent times there with various lady "friends" - just discussing the flora and fauna you understand! Thanks again for this video, all the best.

We hope the Silver Fox and her crew are always floating on "Rainbows" and never "Bungle" a journey and always knowing when to keep well zipped. ; ) p.s. Have you ever thought of mounting a camera on the dogs harness so we can ha a Dillon cam when he is swimming or out exploring?

    We did the Mac! 😀 Up to Marple and a bit along the Peak Forest, then back down. By the time we did the Bosley locks we had our lock routine down to a t. It was a lovely week, I saw my first kingfisher along there :-) the Mac visitor moorings were a bit too wobbly for us though, ended up feeling sea sick lol. Would recommend the Mac for first time cruisers, lovely and peaceful with lots to see 👍🏻

    I think you might have been thinking of Phyllis Pearce from Coronation Street with the gruff voice. I've watched all your videos now in just the last two weeks and I've loved every one, so you have a new subscriber and it takes a lot of great video content for me to subscribe to a channel. Plus you are living my dream life too. Brilliant.

You've freaked me out because I've just realised how much of my life I've actually spent living very close to canals. Lovely to see it all on your video, and glad you didn't get caught up in the recent Clarence Mill leaks/closures. (*And sorry, Colin ... Shawn is right, it is Maggot-y Woods ;o) ).
