Thanks for the interesting historical background info about the Mersey river and its crossings.
Interesting to see the industry still going going on in the river. It makes me realise what the Norfolk Broads might have been like when they still brought the sugar by water to the sugar factory by Cantley. We still have the old wherries sailing on the Broads but they’re volunteer run and no longer carry cargo but it’s always an impressive site when you see one sailing down the river towards you with their huge black sails 😀
Very interesting trip down memory lane. A bitter sweet one for me, those Stolt Chemi tankers bought up the contract our ships were working, & made us all redundant. Good to see they still the working ditch the same way from QE 2 basin back to Stanlow, & sometimes a trip up to Partington. then back load at Stanlowe for Rotterdam, &/or Antwerp .
Having watched Jo & Michael's vlog and David's vlog, it's great to have another view of this adventure! Thanks for this, Lorna.
Loved watching all 3 perspectives of this journey. 🤗
A GREAT TRIP WITH AMAZING VIEWS AND GREAT COMPANIONS TOO....
Holy guacamole? Not the exact words Id have used if I saw that tanker entering the dock with me 😂 another great video and cruise with friends 😀
Thank you for letting us ride along .. I personally being from Philadelphia/US enjoy your city stuff a lot ...thank you for sharing your world ...and so cool you get together with the others/your friends and make a video together ..... magical magical magical ... you make other people so happy with that kinda stuff!! enjoy !!!
Brilliant vlog! Thanks for coming along. See you next year for the wash xx
Minimal List I’m looking forward to it already
Great vlog, learned some things about the Mersey that I never knew, and I've lived here my entire life! Great shots of the Liver buildings, see you spotted a few real Liver birds on the river! Take care.
That was a great point about the Hindu ceremonies - and very interesting about the history and environmental history.
Fantastic vlog - thank you :)
Part 3 of the Mersey trilogy and we are rewarded with drama, trepidation, child like wonder and great calm. Thank you LBG for your delightful interpretation of the big day out.. xx.
Of the three vlogs, I liked your video composition the best! Beautiful pictures!
Fascinating seeing the differences between yours and David's videos - given you were at the same place at the same time :-). Love both the styles! Happy Holidays!
Lovely music, lovely shots and lovely commentary!
Your Vid is so different from the others, I like yours the best so much info. and calm music and your voice. You need more Viewers!!!!
- I agree!
It's also interesting to se a glimse of how the others vlogs are created.
Great music selection and sound balance overall. Fantastic content as as well of course.
It was fun to see all three channels for comparison, here's an example;
(When the tanker moved into the lock, each had their own comment:)
Michael - "Biggest ship we're ever likely to share a lock with".
David - "It's pretty big".
Lorna - "HOLY GUACAMOLE!".
As I watched the behemoth glide in toward the narrowboat, my response would have been much more like Lorna's - but not worried as much about YT censors... HOLY CRAP! 😲
I've missed your videos lately, you educated me on your descriptions of the historical canals during your travels down the canals.
Really interesting to get three vblogs for the price of one. Not boring to get three posts on the same subject. Each post seems to build on the others. Thanks, enjoyed that.
Best city in the world people are the best a long with irsh 💚 wonderful place 👍👍💯 lreland and Liverpool 🇮🇪😁😄❤️❤️👺😺
awesome adventure, thanks Lorna 👍
Thanks you are very funny and informative as i live in Birkenhead and have been fortunate to go across the dock that you, David and Minimallist were in! I lived in Eastham when my Dad was alive. I have crossed on the ferry but it's nice to get your perspective of Elle' Port and Warburton Bridge i have been over and Stockton Heath bridge which is very high above the canal and my Dad worked in Irlam that was great and i wish you a Merry Xmas and more vlogs in a Happy New Year :))
OMG! Beautiful job! I could listen to your calm and soothing voice all day! You have a gift, and thanks for sharing.
Impressed by the many facts you bring up on route!!!
Fascinating. Brilliant video!
Thanks for another view of the crossing, each adding something to the mix. A large car plant and the site of a Victorian 'theme park' were passed on your journey too. Looking forward to the second part of the trip with anticipation and, hopefully, a similar synchronised release.
There at 13:44, the Pilot and Michael look very much like The Mariner and the Mountain Man, which sounds like it ought to be a title of something.
Port Sunlight is fabulous. The old hospital is now a fabulous bijoux hotel. I was going to have my honeymoon there but drugs wore off and my girlfriend escaped.
Well done to all of you that was excellent. Michael is fearless and makes up for jo' s nerves. I was at Elsmere on the 19th of October making a vlog on Minimalist's recommendation and looking out from there I can see just how wide the waters are there. Many thanks take care. Alan.
Have subscribed to your channel.
Great video, very calming music. 7:00 George be like "Mehhh, nothing I've never seen before" LOL he's such a good boy!
I always believe you're honest with us. "Too people"🤗
I enjoyed the different ways you each adopted to tell the story...
Very well done video (the best of the three, frankly). I especially liked the perfect music and soft, ambient sound track used seems most fitting for this anti-climatic crossing. Cheers!
I agree. Actually, I hate it when vloggers have such loud music. I'd rather listen to the sounds of the water and the wildlife. If I want music, can turn the radio on.
Loved the music. Boy oh boy - when that big boat came into the lock you must have been feeling very tiny! Looking forward to the next vlog!
Thanks for your beautifully shot perspective. Did you notice George was strapping Jo in very securely? Smart, caring dog.
Watched all 3 vid from you guys... Your footage looked best by far, pity you never captured the rainbow over Liverpool... Appreciate all the hard work you guys put in to produce these great vids.. Thank you
Liked & Subbed
PatBot thanks. I didn’t even notice the rainbow until I saw it in Jo’s video. Shame I missed it
@@lornajaneadventures If I knew you were all going to be here in Liverpool I would have come down and said hello... Love watching all the canal bloggers on RUclips.. Thanks
Good job! I'm so relaxed that I subscribed.
Well done, all three vlogs mesh together nicely 😊
Another fantastic collaboration! All the best of the season to you, keep well!
Been a subscriber for a while but must admit have not watched your vlogs. This one was beautiful and very information and photographic. Will go back and watch all your vlogs.
13:52 "Holy Guacamole!" (I can't believe I missed your video when I watched David's and Jo and Michael's. Subbed!!)
Lovely footage Lorna. Its funny how you all approach the points of interest differently, thank you x
Great vlog and another perspective I enjoyed after watching Minimal and David videos. Funny your perspective on the ocean going ship.
Loved your voice, piano, and exceptional choice of views. Carry on Y'all!
So funny when you were pulling faces in the end of David's video! 😂
As David says... Very professional
Brilliant coverage Lorna.....a great watch....thanks for sharing
Beautifully edited.
Frantic dramatic movie/radio intro voice: "The fate of the universe hangs in the balance, what shall we do!?"
Resonant confident voice, with gravity: "Reconvene the Thames Team."
Great vlog Lorna, happy new year.
wow, I'm almost at a loss for words. That was a very nice video. I would say the narrow boat gods were watching you as the river became rather smooth. Poor George he had to put up with David in your video. lol Going to be hard waiting for the next video, but what choice do I have. lol
Spotting Boaty McBoatface - nice one!!
Hi Lorna,
Came from David's channel & subscribed.
Of the three versions of this trip this is definitely the shortest👍
nice goin l.j. m8! keep up the good works stay safe vertical an well eh!
8:55 - The ship on the left is coming off the canal - the centre one's coming out of Eastham docks !
It seems David got this wrong too (but Michael didn't !)
Loved your side of the story, thankyou
Great vlog
great vlog, i used to live on the row of houses on the left, the second one, past the new builds on the way up to barton bridge, when i was a kid. used to love watching the ships n played all up and down the canal side. did you have special permission to go on the manchester ship canal. narrowboats was a rairity on there x
tracy fun there are a lot of rules and red tape to go through. Jo & Michael talk about it in detail on their video
@@lornajaneadventures thought they would be lol. Not seen there vlog yet will watch it soon x
@@lornajaneadventures are you all ok, hope all is well. Been waiting for the vlogs from you but not seen anything yet. Xx
Спасибо за видео! Очень интересно! Смотрим в России! Удачи вам и здоровья!
Мне также нравится смотреть их видео. фанат в Новой Англии.
Just seen you on "CC's" vlog, good stuff, nice to get another perspective.
Appreciate your perspective!!
Wide waters uhh no! no-no! Lordy, No fear! TANKER OH LORD NOOOO! JESUS THAT LOCK!
Must be mad to go on Mersey , I have fish it ,but never go across on canal boat and I live in Liverpool that is one flat sea that day ,was that the only way
But where's Monty?
7:54 nice shot back at Liverpool
i completely agree with you.
Did you need a VHF radio for this passage?
donal finn yes we did
I thought so. Thanks for the speedy reply. Just watching it now!
‘Cross.
Picked up on your journey as you enter the south end of the Wirral peninsula
Picked up on a few facts I was unaware of having lived here all my life
