    Well, I've been impressed by the beauty of the Don navigation - it manages to remain beautiful when 50 metres either side is industry. Well done for the Silver Propellor.

    Hiya Wills, it's me again. The flowers where the Cherry tree was looks most certainly like Honeysuckle.
    And the other big shrubs you thought were Fuschias are in fact Buddlea(spelling?) commonly known as 'The Butterfly bush'. Another great video, thanks again. Take care buddy.

    Give that Guy a Blue Peter Badge👍 you made it to the Basin Will, not many have done Tinsley Flight it's hard graft, especially a solo Boater. That double decked bridge you went under is Tinsley Viaduct, M1 on top Ana A631 on bottom, when you're sat at traffic lights on red the bridge goes up and down due to the volume of traffic, Keep up with these Vlogs Pal👍

    • @NarrowboatWill
      @NarrowboatWill  Год назад +1

      That's an impressive structure for sure. Weird seeing traffic going both ways. I bet it bends and twists in the heat and weight of traffic. Locals don't like that flight. It is hard graft. I was glad to be sharing the locks Mark. Cheers

    Haven't seen tillerman for so long, I feared he was overboard. Good to see he's in his usual state: grumpy.
    Tinsley Marshalling Yard used to be huge, lots of hump (gravity) shunting. They had locos permanently coupled together called "master and slave" units, til someone got a kick in the ankle and they became "primary/secondary".

    Great vlog. Your commentary is hillarious, 🤣 Will you could do voice overs for children's programs.
    If you think that double road mind boggling, check out spaghetti Junction, in Birminham, think the architect must have had a dish of spaghetti for lunch when he designed it 🤣 Although it is spectacular from an arial point of view. Your cruise went well and lovely views. Some of the graffiti art was very good.

    That canal basin (Victoria Quays) is a real hangout for hippies in Sheffield. There's a sign saying " Warning: Hippies of all ages having Fun" it's a real alternative place and not somewhere for people in baseball hats or people constantly looking at their phone or talking about football. Pity you didn't show those little bars a bit further up where all the hippies are. It's a splendid "alternative" place.
