    These last two walks are absolute treasures. I will bookmark and return to them, repeatedly. There is always something to see! Such a variety-Trees, streams, stone walls, architecture, animals, views… ***And thank you for stopping and pausing along the way, as a viewer would do if taking the walk in reality. So soothing. In so many walking videos the folks just keep the camera pointed straight ahead and tear along, never stoping to smell the roses….

      Thank you. I've only done a few walking videos as yet. They will probably improve over time as I learn some new tricks.

    Thank you for the walk on the tow path. I never new those gates had a name. My wife and I have walked the paths and found the name of the other devices to get over the fences Stiles. I have been enjoying your videos while in lockdown in the USA.

    Phil. All these lovely comments. Have so enjoyed your walks, the views and especially the commentary.
    You know you’ve now got to continue the walks at places you stop at, when cruising restarts...?

    I know everybody is tired of the lockdown but I certainly have enjoyed the walking vlogs you've been posting. Gives a very different perspective of the beautiful, English countryside then from the canals. Thank you.

    I too have a problem getting over stiles. It’s the legs. They don’t work as well as they used to. I don’t know when you filmed this, but around here, all the mud has dried up. Lovely houses and of course, daffodils are very plentiful at the moment. I think this is the third walk you’ve done in this very pretty area and each was very enjoyable. Quite a number of ponds in the area. Must be naturally wet. I suppose it’s nice that you can’t move your boat very far otherwise you wouldn’t have seen this beautiful area. And neither would I, so thanks for showing.

      It is very nice around here but I don't like being unable to move, and I'm hoping that I won't have to turn around and go back again.

    Thank you Phill, thoroughly enjoyed your walk, love the stone walls and views. The three sheep are Herdwicks. The well protected hen run is due to the threat of avian flu, all poultry have been ordered to be shut from 14 Dec to the 31st March. Take care.

    Let's hope the CRT can fix the broken culvert in time for lockdown to be lifted then we all
    can be the lucky recipient's of more of your excellent cruising vlogs.

    I did not mean to laugh at you and the Bird incident. But it has happened to us all at some point in time. And, yes, it was not funny when it happened to me.
    I did enjoy the entire video. Absolutely beautiful villages and countryside. The old stonework is amazing and displays true workmanship. The public foot paths, like the canals, are things to be treasured and appreciated.
    Thank you for sharing your walk with us.
