Awww that was absolutely brilliant!! Proper made me laugh out loud when poor Shaun couldn’t reach the wall 🤣🤣🤣🤣 especially when Colin almost had his knees up his nose!!
I’m sat in my car outside a prison waiting for my colleague to arrive so we can go in and X-ray some naughty boys, and if they’ve got me on camera they will wonder what I was doing in my car, laughing with tears rolling down my face ha ha
Oh no. They might not let you back out again! 🤣
Foxes Afloat ha ha haaa!!! I’m free!!!!! They let me out!!! Means I can watch some more of your videos tonight now 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
You know you're enjoying a blog when.....you stand with an armfull of laundry for 14 minutes and 21 seconds.watching Sean and Colin legging through a tunnel.great viewing and information.thank you.🤗
Vlog
You're the best! Hope you got your laundry done 😂
@@FoxesAfloat I did phew :)
Agree.....that was one of the more fun vlogs to watch.
This is a superb vlog! I am a history buff and this is by far my favorite story you have shared. We had canals and tunnels in the USA at the same time Britain did, but we just shut them down and covered them up when trains came along.Such a shame. Now I can know what the coal miners in Pennsylvania had to do in the 1790’s to get the coal down the canals! Great bit of living history, thanks so much for sharing😊
That is awesome!
Oooow aaaaaah!
Here in Australia we don't have tunnels on our canals, so all this is new.
Also we don't have narrow boats......or canals.
And most of our rivers don't have water in them most of the time.
And your canals are older than Australia......well let's not get into that.
So you two are bringing some real experiences to us.
Thanks guys keep up the good work.
Maybe one day we can travel again and try it out for ourselves.
Yay!
Hopefully! Cheers, Warren 👍🏻
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Steven Samuel Instablaster :)
@Hugh Tyler thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Hugh Tyler it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
See...this is what sets you apart from the other Vlogs. A wonderful little canal cruising side-trip, packed with info, history, good humour, fabulous characters (with equally fabulous brogue) and truly wonderful videography. My weekend only begins after watching Foxes Afloat whilst having a coffee on the couch. Its a ritual now. Well done Colin, Shaun and Dylan. Love your work. Greetings from Western Australia.
Wow! 🤩 Amazing feedback, Geoff. Thank you so much! Sending loads of love to Western Australia 💜
I agree totally. The effort put into your vlog sets you apart.
Literally walking in footsteps of those who have gone before, part of living history. Great job, thanks for sharing the experience.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Superb video and brought back memories. In late 1970's I took six 15 year olds for weekend on Black Country canals. We 'legged' that tunnel (kids providing power), no electric motor and lighting provided by 2 Tilley lamps pressure TVO)! Kids loved it. Many of branches were derelict and closed. The whole area was run down and one point had to fish out shopping trolleys to enable passage. The trip would have failed modern risk assessments from the start.
Earlier, mid 70's I took 16 of same age on Nothants C C boat (----- Rose) and Butty for 3 days out of Braunston.. Council employed boatman but 'we' had to operate all the locks - luckily kids took to the task quickly and there was always a volunteers to go ahead to prepare next lock. The kids all had social problems and everyone had chance for half an hour on tiller. Girls had beds in motor boat, us boys sleeping bag on camping mat on butty floor. Unfortuneately modern H & S and 'snow flake' attitudes means such rich and stimulating experiences are history. It was 90% traditional boats then. - all with their traditional Castle & Roses painting.
Nice one 👍🏻
Finally watching the final season of Peaky Blinders, just saw the scene where Tommy is reminding Arthur about the 3172 of blackness that was Dudley tunnel.
I remembered this video right away and rewatched it.
As an American living in a town in Ohio that had a canal in the mid-1800's for about 30 years, I dream of making it over to your still functioning canal system!
Now that is what I call a great v-log. Very informative and presented. Come on people, join me in the congratulations here!
(listens to silence) 😂😂😂
This is my neck of the woods! I've been through Dudley tunnel a few times on tours. Once, my fiance (now husband) and I did a special tour around Halloween where actors dressed up as ghosts in the caverns and told us some of the history of the area and the tale of how their character died! It was night time and the tunnel was lit up throughout with tea lights. Very atmospheric but it was flippin' cold as you would imagine.
I live a couple of miles away in a town called Coseley on the BCN Main Line. We've got a tunnel of our own, but it's nowhere near as long as Dudley Tunnel.
Nice one.
Ok . . . why am I suddenly humming the lyrics . . . Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby . . . Oh, my Friday morning has just been made, another inspiring historical walk down England's Canal History, so very well done as always. I love how you not only narrate these so well, but also insert historical black and white photos, Top Drawer! And yes, Shaun makes an excellent Tiller Girl ;) Could you two possibly be more hysterical ;) Thanks again for getting my weekend off to a great start.
Hehe! He's definitely a Tiller Girl 😂 Thanks, guys! 👍🏻
Great fun Gents and
Colin in all your vlogs you do a lot of research in to the history of
everywhere you go and give more details about stuff more than the
main TV channels. The only thing is why did you not Dillon to leg it as well lol
He was fast asleep on Silver Fox 😂💜
Fascinating. Love the inclusion of the old pictures.
Thanks!
Thanks, boys. Ive known about legging for years...a few of our 19th century American canals required it....but I've never seen it done til now. Brilliant!!
Our pleasure!
The best way to end the week is watching the Foxes Afloat. Thanks guys.
Aww, thanks, Wallace. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Hiya Foxes, great fun video. At 05.00 it looks like Sean needs a pair of '70s platform shoes to reach the tunnel wall. LoL.
Haha! That's exactly what he needs! 😂
Happy memories - and the reason I became obsessed with the canals. I hadn't a clue what a canal even was when I was invited on a convoy of boats back in 1975 as a teenager for a weeks trip around the Black Country. We legged all the way through the Dudley tunnel - as it had just reopened - 16 of us on a 4 berth nb to get under the loading gauges - with a chorus of "Jerusalem" as we came out at Park Head. Birmingham was fascinating place back then with many foundries still working away canalside. I know they've done a fantastic job in making it all more clean & accessible now, but it was great to see it when the water was black with oil and still had working boats on it.
Nice one! 👍🏻
Legging it, what a cool thing to learn about! Love your videos!
Glad you enjoy it!
First, as I write this there’s been over 700 comments for this latest vlog. Thanks to you both for the effort you make in responding so many times...I know for many of us subscribers it’s appreciated when you acknowledge our feedback regarding your efforts to give great vlogs.👍
And, tunnel walking eh?...once again you’ve provided a fascinating insight into the early days of narrowboats and the physical work involved in their operations. The horses moving on to the the other side of the tunnel independently is another tribute to what a remarkable contribution they made in those early days of canal transport. Thanks boys, James and Colin 🤗
Hey guys! 👋
Always nice to hear from you, and you always say such warm nice things. Thank you! xx
What a tremendous pity the Black Country Museum was closed when you were there. We had a wonderful time there - absolutely fascinating - and the smell, if you are old enough, is a reminder of that smell in the old days when everyone had a coal-fire at home. We can sincerely recommend a visit around there if you are back in the area sometime.
Yeah, we would have been in there causing trouble had it been open 😂
@@FoxesAfloat You a pair of ruffs then?
Well done guys. It is one thing to read about legging but totally different to see it demonstrated. The people of Dudley are some of the friendliest in the country. Rightly very proud of their heritage There are loads of things to see and do around there. Well worth visiting. Great to hear you getting to grips with the local dialect.
It really is an awesome place xx
I had no idea that you could have a tunnel legging experience (cue Colin for one of his Carry On quips 😉). What an interesting vlog. We’ve started making a list of all the things we’d like to see and do when the world is normal once again and your Polesworth ‘Gold Leaf Buried Sunshine’/The Gongoozler’s Rest and now legging it are on there. All thanks to you.
Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you manage to experience them! x
So wish there was a double like button.
Aww, thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@FoxesAfloat can you ask TH-cam to ditch the ’dislike’ (because we can choose to watch the videos we like after all) and create a 'I like it a lot' option instead?
You gentlemen are simply lovely together. And many thanks for the side- trip through your journeys.
It's our pleasure. Just sharing the best life! Thank you 💜
Leggin it dowun Dugley cut 😁 all the years I've lived down the road from Dudley I've never been to the canal trust I must rectify that. Great vlog as usual guys 👍 ps how did you get on with our black country lingo 😁
Haha Loved it 😂
Brilliant vlog. The Morecambe and Wise of boating especially with Shaun’s legs being like Ernie’s?
Haha! I'll not show him this comment 😂
Another awesome job.
When times where simpler and the little things in life mattered.
Yup. The little things always matter 😂👍🏻
Another fine vlog!! You both really know what it takes to keep our interest in narrow boating. Ps hi to Dillon
Thanks, Thomas. Dillon opened his eyes and went back to sleep 💜
Haven't seen you two put in that much effort for a while!
🤣
Fascinating! If you do get to do a tunnel by yourself, Colin, there had best be one of your superior quality videos of the experience!
👍👍👍
Well done you 2!! I think I caught a glimpse of the Silver Fox. I looked for ya & sure you were moored by the Dudley Trust. The Black Country & Birmingham was built on the canals, all the raw materials were there. The canals were the means to get the goods out to everyone.
Yep, and still 100 miles of canal navigable! Amazing!
I love Dudley people,salt of the earth, in fact my brother still works there he,s from Brum so it's really funny when he suddenly come's out with something like 'yum know ' my son used to think they spoke a different language haha ..take care x
Totally agree! x
We had to do this in one of the longest tunnels as we broke down half way through. We were all covered in soot when we got through and it turned out a plant of wood had got inside our engine compartment. I’ll just add that this was the 1970s and I was just a teenager on a school holiday 😆
Aww no! 😬
Absolutely FABULOUS!!! Thank you so much, Shaun and Colin. (and thank you for the captioning, too).
Our pleasure 💜
Thank you, I've just watched this enthralling episode with my son and his first thought was " come on Dad we must try this" I'm thinking I'm too old for this. I used to pass a pub called the Plank and Leg It at Shardlow. So on for a penny in for a pound...............
Go for it! Then to the pub 👍🏻
I love you two! Information and hilarious. Thank you for this video. Cruising the Cut may well be approaching 100,000 subscribers but I thing you guys will be there also very soon. I’m not knocking David because he’s great.
Outtakes made me laugh out loud!
We never look at subscriber numbers, we just read the comments, that's all that matters to us 💜
Brilliant you guys and martin zero open a whole new world to everyones herittage in a personal way and an educational way as to exite people to go out and see what there is out there around them (obviously asking permission first), i know theres other people out there doing the same thing but its how its put over to the viewer that counts and you guys have it well done lads.
Aww, cheers! 👍🏻
Hi Guys
Fascinating documentary-style this week. Really enjoyed it......
Mike
Thanks, Mike! 👍🏻
I loved the vlog. I asked a question a few months back about how the boats got threw the tunnels without the horses and you said "legging" and briefly described it. Thank you for the history lesson and photos of the children with the horses. I need to start planning another trip to the UK so I can say I "legged it" through Britain.
Hehe! You can have a go at legging here.
That was fascinating 😍 The only legged-boat I've ever been on was in Speedwell cavern, Castleton, Derbyshire, where they leg a boat through all. The flooded Blue John mining caves. Don't know if they still do it that way now! Used to terrify me as a child as they would also tell the story of the murder in Winnatt's Pass at the same time 😱. Wonderful video, guys xx
What an experience! Happy New Year to you! 👍🏻💜
I lived in the canal cottage at the other end of the Dudley Tunnel till 2015. Lost count of the number of boaters I've helped through the locks there :)
WOW that’s awesome ❤️
Working narrowboaters circa 1920, "Uggh, there's a tunnel coming up, we're going to have to leg the boat through, it's going to be a long hard day." Shaun and Colin circa 2020 "Let's go leg through a tunnel for fun."
Pretty much how it is 😂
Talking of horses finding their way over the hill to the other end of the tunnel reminded me of the milkman. Back in the 50s the United Daries, where I lived very close to Marble Arch in London, had a horse drawn cart, Express was very modern with electric powered milk floats. Each Saturday the milkmen would gather at the Duke of Kendal to do their books. The UD milkman was often a bit under the weather and could be seen fast asleep on his cart while the horse made its way back to the depot, stopping for red traffic lights.
LMAO! 😂
I cannot imagine doing this for 60+ years! Looks like hard work, actually, especially with a heavy boat. Thanks for another fascinating history lesson. One more video to use in our homeschooling lessons! :-)
Hehe! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the tunnel visits! Now I'm curious about the caves and branch tunnels and whatnot!
If you can, go visit. They’ll show you around 👍
A big thumbs up form me ... look forward to you, Legging It. ;-))
Haha. Loved every minute! Thanks 👍🏻
I Just found about NARROWBOATS on TH-cam. Brits started building this canal system in the late 1700’s to carry heavier loads than horse drawn wagons could to and from factories. Brilliant engineering!
It's the most underestimated construction of the industrial revolution. Fascinating stories every inch along the canal. x
Poor Shaun puffing and chuffing could hardly speak 😂. Bugger doing that all day every day! Cracking vlog boys as always 💖
Awww, I’d love to have been a legger! I’d have made a packet 💵
I had a go at this at the Black Country Museum, some 25 years ago, it's even more interesting when they turn the lights off and you have to do it in total darkness!
I have a certificate somewhere, if I can find it I'll post a photo of it on your Facebook post.
Nice one!
Outtakes just brilliant lol so funny shame you didn’t get around Black Country museum it’s worth a visit,great vlog again loved going through those tunnels not been in there cheers again xxx
Yeah, it's a shame the BCM was closed the whole month, otherwise we'd have been in there causing bother 😂
another spot on video gents cheers, I used to leg it when I was a kid but that was only when I was in trouble and someone chasing me.
haha! Didn't we all 😂
Brilliant chaps 😊 And really quite humbling to think what a tough life those boaters had. I wonder how many foresaw people legging boats through for fun in the 21st century. And the kids who handled the horses. Amazing. How lucky we are. Thanks to you both and to the folks at the Dudley Canal Trust for keeping their stories alive 👍🏼
Thanks, James! Yeah, a different life for them 💜
Outstanding video. The combination of being entertained but learning new things is brilliant. Thank you both. Scratch on the head to Dillon. K
Done 👍🏻
That shows the lengths you two will go for a good video!
Hope you enjoyed it, Stuart! 👍🏻
yam or right after your go at leggin, brilliant that dudley canal trust gave you both the chance to sample of what it was like to get a boat through before engines,so if your engine conk's out in a long tunnel you know how to get through with out panicking unless it's a wide tunnel ,then your knackered,another great video i have been to black country museum on thier canal trip's really make's you think how it was all those year's ago.Brilliant job
Cheers, Peter! Yeah, we had a great time and the staff were amazing! 👍🏻
so been watching all the eps so far. I should be doing my work and having this in this background. but found myself watching them lol!
Lol! Get some work done! 😂
You guys amaze me. So much fun.
Aww, thanks!
I went there today and had a go. It's soooooo much fun.
Another brilliant vlog that gives us insight into the historical workings of our waterways. 👍
You two make all these things so accessible for us landlubbers, thank you.
Our pleasure!
Brilliant lads, well done. I loved how Shaun was almost on his tiptoes at times, bless!
Haha! Shortarse! 😂
Love this video. So informative and well presented. Looks like you can get some leg exercises from legging the tunnel. It something I wouldn’t mind trying. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating
👍🏻
Fascinating. Seemed like you got up a very good head of "steam" going through there. I loved the image of the horse making its way, alone, from portal to portal.
Yeah, Shaun can’t find his way out of a tunnel, never mind over the hill to the other side 😂
So, so professional as always guys. The most interesting narrow boat vlogs on TH-cam. 10 out of 10 !!.
Aww, thanks, Russ!
Blimey I live in dudley port just down the road from where you was you could of popped in a cup of tea cheers lads great video I ve also tried this legging didn't like it scared of dark wet places
Hehe! Bit late now but thank you! 👍🏻
Fantastic stuff! Looks like you really enjoyed that and so did we. How did you get on with the local accent? Real Black Country is like another language. As kids we would just sit and stare at uncle Albert and nod our heads without a clue what he was on about
That’s mostly what we did 😂
I do understand (and forgive) that the drone was resting but a lovely video so explicit from the past. 🤗👍🇩🇰
Hehe! It's what happens with these tunnel videos.
Just for you, a secret! Next week's vlog, from 13'58" is my favourite bit of drone footage for ages! Hope you enjoy it 😉
I love how Dylan runs sideways ❤️
Haha. He's the best ❤️
It might be the young lads first day but he is still in counselling after it lol 😂
Heavily sedated 😂
Foxes Afloat you guys brighten up my Friday it’s so nice to see people on TH-cam actually being genuine 100% none of this BS you see a lot of TH-camrs today
@@chipking2765 Yeah, some of them are a bit meh 😂
Yet another superb Vlog. The phrase to "Leg it" may have originated from the canals?
So how did you get on with the Black Country (YamYam) accent?
I'm a born and bred Brummie, and wur (we are) frever having the P taken out of our accent. Brummies say you as Yow, and Black Country Folk say Yam. Yam ok? Hence why they are known as Yamyams.
Great Museum, Dudley is superb area, It even has a Castle over looking the town. and yes it gets crowded in the Summer, so be warned!
Ah, loads of people took the Micky when we tried so we didn't try too much 😂
Brilliant as usual gents!
Would love to meet you both for a cuppa next time you’re in the Shropshire area!
No problem, keep an eye out! 👍🏻
Loved it - thanks for sharing 😘 Loved the guy at the beginning 😁
He was a right laugh! 😂
I like to leggit all the time, I think I’d prefer it on my back but I agree sometimes getting on your side you can get some real speed and traction up then enjoy the ride 😂🤭😉 Shaun is like my hubby, short (yet cute) legs. Thanks for showing us how you guys leggit.😘
Yeah, I wanna try it on my back. Maybe leg a long tunnel for charity 👍🏻
Foxes Afloat I’ve often done it for charity 😬
Colin please give shaun platform boots so he can reach the tunnel walls
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Me and a group from my running club were due to visit Dudley for a weekend - which was cancelled due to Lock-down.. Hopefully we can go next May - I'm going to suggest we check out the museum as it looks like a good day out. Our running club weekends usually consist of drinking, a Parkrun, drinking, museums, drinking, running, drinking, walking, drinking, a train trip, drinking and more drinking - its often said that our running club is a thinly disguised drinking club... Great VLOG as usual lads.
Fingers crossed! Yeah, it's a good trip!
Love you guys videos, watch them all the time. When Colin talks about the history i love it, but its all well talking about the history, watching you lads actually taking part in the history is amazing. Honestly one of your best vids yet i think lads (just my opinion lol). But yeah this video is EXCELLENT (*Bill and Ted air guitar*)
Aww, thanks, Jack! 👍🏻
Oh my gosh. How amazing 🤩 I would love to do some legging as it looks like fun.
Great video gents. Xx
Thanks, Karen!
Looks like a workout to me -fortunately my advanced years precludes any such effort on my part . One of the clear benefits of being old and feeble if you ask me.
Awww, I'm sure you could do it 😉
@@FoxesAfloat maybe walking on the ceiling ...the sideways shuffle ain't gonna happen!
@@mrbillmacneill 😂
Really enjoyed this one Colin and Shaun! History and the tunnel photography was fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Aww, cheers, Scott!
superb guys as always makes my day especially as you didn't scratch my boat lol take care
We didn't even use our boat. How good is that?! x
Presumably Dillon was excused because his legs are even shorter than Shaun's ??!! 😎👍👍
Haha! Yeah, but only just shorter 😂
Life really used to be hard
Yup!
Done a lot of legging it in the past ,mainly with a bag filled wiv swag . Cheers chaps looks like a great place thanks for sharing
Thanks, Jason 👍🏻
What a feat. A great way to keep a foot in the past. Thanks for showing this leg of your journey. You both have real soul.
I'm going now, legging it before I get into more trouble!
Haha! Thanks 😂👍🏻
Us Wheeler's were and are masters at "Legging it"
There was meant to be a photo of Jack in the vlog but it didn't get to us in time for the publish. I was gutted after hearing his story!
So good to see how it was done n what a great work out for the thighs!
Yes it was!
It’s great to see history come alive like this. I’ve definitely put this on my list of places I would love to visit 😊
This was a great subject for an episode. History is the BEST! Thanks for taking us along.
Our pleasure! 👍🏻
Q: You leg 15 tons and what do you get?
A: A moved boat, exercise and sore leg muscles.
A lot easier than you think actually x
I'm good at legging! Whenever there's any work to be done, I leg it!
I'll get me coat.
Yeah, bye! 😂
I've said it before and I'll say it again; Lads, well done! I so enjoy the interesting history and stories of the canals you bring to your videos. Don't stop!
Thank you! 👍🏻💜
There is so much involved in that process.It looks like it takes a lot of time and hard work. Very interesting. Thanks for the share.👏😎👍💖😊😃
Cheers, Max. Glad you enjoyed it👍🏻
And people wonder how you stay fit on a boat!
🤣
@@FoxesAfloat I never knew where that saying came from until now..."Guess we'll have to leg it!"
My brother-in-law is a gem from the Merseyside area and a staunch Liverpool fan. I've only ever visited that area and the Lake District, but dream of walking the Southwest Coast Path. Now that I've discovered your kind of travel (and fell off a ladder and broke my foot last year!) I think I'd prefer it to walking!
Like a couple of crabs 😂😂😂😂
Haha! Mmmmm... Crab meat 😋
That was awesome. Being from the US in Pennsylvania had no idea about the canals in the UK. I was never much of a history buff but now retired at 62 history is more interesting as i'm becoming part of it. Legging looks fun but wouldn't want to do it for a job. Keep up the great work and of course have tons of fun.
Thanks, Rick! I'd loved to have been a legger. I would have made a fortune with my thighs! 😂
Wonderful vlog! The scenery is astounding. I especially appreciate the music you have added to the vlogs. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Karen!
Great vlog as usual, loved the old pictures. Thanks Lads
Cheers, Hugh! 💜
Love the museum and visited the Dudley tunnel last time we were there, can't wait to go back.
Shame it's been closed most of the year 😬
@@FoxesAfloat hopefully next year we can visit there again.
It was amazing how fast you got it up to some speed. Looked like great fun though. Couldn't imagine doing it for a living: Just imagine going to your doctor saying: I have a tingling sensation in my legs. What should I do? And the answer was: You need to take a long walk every day!
LOL! 😂
Brilliant video lads, very interesting. 👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks, Mark!
