Hi guys glad you made it to Goole, the structure as you enter Goole was a cason, which was basicaly a sliding gate to seal off the canal and would be winched across by hand using the windlasses if there was a breach in the system. The next structure is the updated cason.
Loved it all... Especially, Micheal's reference to Rocky and Bullwinkle show..... "AND NOW, something completely different"... , and it was.... now I hear the theme song....
Sadly (perhaps?) that was a Monty Python deference... the line on Rocky and Bullwinkle was “And now for something we hope you’ll really like!”, usually interrupted by a moose doing something silly. For some reason a meme went about a few years ago with the “Moose und Swkirrel” under Cleese’s catchphrase. M
Nice to hear you both soenthusiastic to get out on to large fast flowing muddy rivers yet again. Hope you can find a dozen more narrowboats joining you to fill Ocean lock!. I bet you end up doing a cruise around the numerous docks in Goole before exiting.... just because you can !!!! This area doesn't get vloged much, so good you're giving it some exposure.
We’re glad to have seen it! The tides keep too many people off the river, but really it’s just a bit of planning and some forethought and off you go! M
Thanks very much for doing the IWA webinar this evening. We so enjoy watching your vlog and it was great to see you live from Perseverance (and to hear George).
Probably the easiest access to boating in a canyon is river Lot in France, around Cahors. The river is navigable by locks, and there are a couple hire boat vendors. Recommended.
Morning Jo Michael,that was a interesting video it look more like a river that canal very wide good information Jo so full of interesting information thank for the ride ,John
Straight on till dusk 😃. Blimey it's been overcast for you guy's. I hope it gets better soon for you. Your bow shots on your other channel are a different way of looking at going down the canel. Everyone should try them.
You really needed the full canal width when being overtaken (as we frequently were in early 70's) by commercial traffic, especially the trains of Tom Puddings. Counter rudder and engine power needed to avoid the suction....they didn't hang about and pleasure boating was virtually unknown on these waterways! Enjoy the run up to York & Ripon! Look forward to seeing how things have changed!
I would have loved to have seen the Tom Puddings on the move. Although being over taken by them doesn’t sound like much fun! Currently in York, heading to Ripon this week!
Looking forward to seeing how you get on upstram from Goole - we've never done that stretch, forthest we went was a cruise around the docks.. We have been on the Yorkshire Derwent - it is very pretty and very rural - and prone to flooding! A Lot! It's a shame they have closed Sutton Lock otherwise you could have got to Stamford Bridge, which is another nice stretch, and you would pass Jethro's boat, about 30 ft up the bank where it landed after a BIG flood neary 20 years ago! He lives(d) on it as a static caravan and has built steps down to the river where he uses a little motor boat. The Derwent is Wild Country, there are No Rules! No licence, no BSS, no insurance!
I would have loved to go further up the Derwent and see his boat... sounds like quite a sight. Sadly I think the Derwent beyond the junction with the Pocklington is already lost to us. M
Great vlog, shame about the weather, but it's always like that in Goole 😂👍 Still can't get over how close you've been to me, and I haven't been to say Hello 🍻 If you need any local knowledge between there and York, I've spent my life up and down the rivers and canals in the area 👍 Selby is fine, but a lot of boaters warn to be cautious of the tide is pushing you as you approach the bridge, I've seen a couple of boats start to drift in the currents. It gets a lot more relaxing after Cawood. I'd recommend stopping at the Breighton Ferry on the Derwent. The food it fantastic, and it's always full of wonderfully entertaining people.
Excellent vlog. That was quite an unusual navigation. Yes the water management arrangements in that area really are interesting. The fact that the navigation runs so far in a straight line, without any locks, shows you how level and flat the land is round there. I’ll be looking forwards to your trip the Derwent as I’ve found that my ancestors farmed the land adjacent to the river in the 1600s around Menthorpe, Breighton and Bubwith. Hope to see some pics of the area.
Love me some Port Town Goole.... Yee HAa Loved the outtakes again, button on the camera explains why George is triggered, a circle with a line through ... "that's it'
Bleak bleak bleak it's a canal jim but not as we know it . Travelled this section in October in glorious weather it was still bleak ,just so flat and empty . Not for me I'm afraid there's enough run down places in this country without visiting new ones . Stay safe guys hope all goes well on the ouse.
Saw you were moored next a boat called 'Madcap', obviously a hommage to the late Syd Barrett. Have to light incense and listen to 'Astronomy Domine' immediately.
Hi, Love these Vlogs, mainly because our new boat currently locked down is 58feet 6inches and is currently being built for the Northern Canals and the rivers of the North East. We have cruised most of the canals of middle England over the years. but she was 66 feet! I have a blog on WordPress which has a reader category, but no matter what I put in the search engine, it will not pick up yours, which is annoying. So we will be following in your footsteps next year. Your videos are great in cinema format on my laptop Regards Mike
All the comments about the straightness make me wonder what the longest straight (navigable) waterway in the UK is? I've not been able to find a quick answer on google
The New Bedford River (built by Vermuyden, who I am pretty sure is the Dutchman Michael is referring to) is pretty straight. Here's my GPS track. The Old Bedford River is only partly navigable, and is even straighter. Indeed has been used for experiments to measure the radius of the Earth. nbsg.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/gpx.jpg
I believe it’s the 6 mile stretch of the Old Bedford River where Alfred Russel Wallace conclusively proved that Samuel Rowbotham was an idiot. M en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Level_experiment
@@MinimalList That's right, I am visiting this waterway for my summer holidays (or as close as I can get - Horseway lock) and may attempt to repeat the experiment using my flagpole and shafts etc ...
Love you guys, and it was interesting seeing a wider canal & hearing the history. I got a kick out of a few of the auto-generated closed-caption words on this video. Near the beginning, it put "rule" & also even "Google" in place of Goole! Then when you arrived & said Welcome to Goole, it did then at least hear it correctly but spelled it "ghoul" lol. Also at one point, instead of 'visitor moorings' it said "visitor morons"! Hope there aren't too many of those visiting 'morons' for you to run into! lol
I f you have a problem with adds you can always pay for Prime with TH-cam. That's what I do. After all the hard work that goes into producing the vlogs it seems a tad stingy to moan about sitting through a few adds to get the content for free.
Sorry, a bit non plussed. What I should have said was " Not the prettiest canal, but hey they were built for commerce and not for prettiness. Apologies.
Jo, you sound so miserable, your allergies must be horrible! Do you take anything for them? I have the same problem, do you do sinus rinses? I do this morning and night and it seems to help. Are there any boat projects planned for this year? All the cruising you have done, seems like there would be some? Just curious? I liked the Goole! Do they have any nice marinas? I was also wondering if you ever considered getting a Dutch Barge? There are no Dutch Barge Vlogs on TH-cam I wonder why perhaps you would know?
I already saw the next video, and now I find it quite funny to hear you talk about 'big boats' in this video.
Haha!
Loving your series... i must have watched 60 episodes in the past 5 days.. (bad weather on east coast of NY - not much to do)...
Well, glad we could help you through the deep freeze! M

Fascinating! Thanks for that! There were also some gates which I guess have the same purpose.
A very well rounded episode for no.300 ... I confess I was hoping for at least a party popper. Sure I've got some somewhere ...
Please, pop away! M
Done and done!
Goole was the subject of a Jasper Carrot comedy item, well worth watching.
Will do, thanks
Thank you for a new bit of canal, love the variety of lands ape you give us along the way. Taker care
Thank you! Yeah we love the changing landscape too!
Nice vlog pitty the waterways museum closed there last year I think was always a good venue for the motorbike meets 👍👍
A Dutch river situated in a flat, flat ( English) floodplane. How very appropriate!
True that!
Most (if not all) of the drainage and similar water management works in the UK were done by Dutch engineers.
Even though I can't claim any credit for their work I'm still proud of it.
Congratulations and a big thanks for sharing 300 videos. I think I've watched them all.
Thanks for watching for all of them!
Loved it all... Especially, Micheal's reference to Rocky and Bullwinkle show..... "AND NOW, something completely different"... , and it was.... now I hear the theme song....

The trick with Selby railway bridge is to go through backwards, so you have some steering.
Thanks for the tips! We quite liked Goole despite the weather!

Funnily enough they moored behind us again last night. They have moved in now otherwise we could have asked them.

Have fun next year! Those 58 feet will be tight in a few places. but you’ll figure out how to edge them through! M
Think Goole is the most inland port in the country used to pick Renault's up there many years ago love the vlogs like to see where I've been by road
It’s a strange place but we kind of liked it! Thanks for watching!
Have enjoyed your other channel. "Minimal List Maximal Velocity." Thanks
That’s great to hear! Thanks so much! Only 275 more timelapses to edit and upload! 🤣
@@MinimalList I'm not going anywhere.
We'd be worried if George wasn't having a poo at some point in the vlog.
LOL!
They'd be inundated with doggie laxative.
One of the few with no locks or bridges to operate. "now for something completely different" I thought of Monty Phython
I’ve always got Cleese on my mind. M
I could see an episode of the Department of Silly Walks Narrowboating 🤣 or Basil of the Canals 😂😂
I’ve got a standing offer for John Cleese to have a canal vacation any time he’d like! M
@@MinimalList that would be extremely cool. It would be a laugh a minute
have you ever tried a widebeam?
Are you not going to do the River Hull and the Driffield Navigation?
No, they are not officially part of the connected network. I think it is possible to get there but by all accounts they are not worth the effort
The factory opposite the pub and moorings at Rawcliffe Bridge is Croda a speciality chemical company. I should know as I worked there for 38 years.
If you have a mooring there, you have to know the evacuation drill.
I did wonder what it did! Thanks!
Water towers behind you are known locally as the salt and pepper pots
I can see why!
You can go for a tour of Drax Power Station Its free, i did it a couple of years ago
