    Very nice video 😎. Good to have trees grown up between canal / industrial buildings. The heron walking purposefully along the path struck me as hilarious!

    The big building at 9.02 is the old Hovis building. Macclesfield is the home of Hovis bread, started here in 1886,.

    This is the first time I’ve come across your vlogs. Now this is my idea of a gentle canal boat trip. No speeded up bits(which I detest), just gentle cruising with beautiful editing. Full marks.

    The Middlewood Way is the old branch line from Macclesfield to Marple, approx 10 miles and runs mostly parallel to the Macc canal

    Nice Vlog. Hard to believe a busy industrial estate was so close to that relaxing canal.

    Very interesting especially your comments on Macclesfield Visitor Moorings. I'm hoping to make it there in the autumn so watching this particular series with great interest.

    • @NarrowboatJourneys

      Thank you. I show the "in between" parts of the canal that most other channels leave out.

    There are no towpath issues at 9.47. This is simply to show people that they can't go past the damaged part you first commented on 8:30 and have to go on the roads.

  • @tims7793

    It's obviously a fairly good physical thing to do, all that hauling the boat to the side and just general boating life. It would be good to know how you think 28 years of this life has helped and hindered you physically. You look pretty healthy. Perhaps an idea for a future fireside chat video?

    What is the very massive wall with buttresses at about 5 1/2 minutes. And the ducks don't seem to mind where they swim.

  • @jimhesson1699
    @jimhesson1699 4 года назад

    So relaxing. Thanks for that. Though that mooring. Now that's really overgrown. Aren't you going to get a lot of insects after 2 day mooring? I'm not familiar with UK flora, but that sure looked like Queen Anne's Lace. My experience is that they harbor a ton of chiggers.

    • @NarrowboatJourneys
      @NarrowboatJourneys  4 года назад +2

      No, fortunately in the UK our wildlife is quite safe, and our agricultural pesticides have killed nearly all of the insects! It's very sad.

    since you seem to like the sky and such, anyway you could record a storm? or doesn't the U.K get good storms? love to see one from a huge field , No big deal. I just LOVE storms and wondered what they could be like on a narrowboat. bet the thunder rolls around pretty good. Cheers!

    • @NarrowboatJourneys
      @NarrowboatJourneys  4 года назад

      I've been waiting for years to video a good storm. We have quite a few in the summer but so far they have not been close enough...

    When you jump[ed off the boat at the end I can't quite tell what type of plants those are, but they look a lot like giant hogweed, watch yourself they give really nasty stings , like 2nd degree burns.

    • @NarrowboatJourneys
      @NarrowboatJourneys  4 года назад

      I'm well aware of giant hogweed. There was none there. I have seen it on the Ashby canal. A very impressive plant.

    • @nigef334
      @nigef334 Год назад

      There is giant hogweed on the Peak Forest canal though, but has been signposted and is on the other side to the towpath

    Is there a reason why you have two bikes........

    • @NarrowboatJourneys
      @NarrowboatJourneys  3 года назад

      One bike is better for long road trips, the other for muddy off-road use.
