  • In this video I start with a walk and talk along the site of the Middlewich Canal breach, where in March 2018, the bank collapsed and the canal drained into the river below.
    Also, I give an update on how things are going with Amazon Prime, as well as quickly hinting where I'm currently traveling, whilst editing and uploading all 5 seasons of Travels by Narrowboat (TBN), to Amazon Prime.
    --------------------
    If you'd like to contribute to my channel and future videos, then I have a PayPal Me page. Cheers, www.paypal.com...
    All 6 seasons of Travels By Narrowboat are available to stream on Amazon Prime, with Season 7 here on RUclips.

    I started watching on Amazon Prime. I was just looking through and I saw another group of videos by the guys that have The Silver Foxes and wanted to see more. So I did a search for "Narrowboats" and yours came up. In approximately a week and a half I've managed to watch every one up to Season 5. Now I'm going through all the RUclips videos for things I haven't seen. My best friend and I would love to do some traveling on the canals, but we're stuck in the States. So we have to live vicariously through your videos. I hope you and Aslan continue for quite a while. Cheers!

    Were you serious regarding your bid on the canal beach repair? I assume you were not talking about a tiny 1-1/2 cubic foot DIY backyard mixer, but the real thing -- like large mixing drum on the bed of a real truck. Are you (or were you) really a contractor with a concrete mixer truck? What size? We have some contractors and concrete suppliers operating 14-cubic yard mixer trucks, but around here (North Carolina), due to local roadway weight restrictions, 9-cubic yard mixer trucks are about the largest which can legally be driven over most of the county back road bridges.

    @expatexpat6531 3 года назад

    Unfortunately, TBN may not be available on local Prime Video channels outside the UK. At least after several attempts I was not able to find it on my German Prime Video account. The German channel shows many films and series in EN, but only some generic videos about narrowboats. Maybe you can check with Prime about this. Otherwise, it will reduce this revenue stream if you are restricted to the UK, and we poor expats still in the EU will have to do without and feel left out even more in the cold.

    I sincerely apologize for your disappointment in this
    regard.
    In this case, I'd like to inform you that these limitations in Amazon
