- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2019
- Have you heard the one about the Cow in Foulridge Tunnel? Taking Narrowboat Silver Fox to Yorkshire comes with a tale!
Continuing our journey across Britain by Narrowboat, we leave Reedley Marina and join up with Gary and Dawn from Narrowboat Bagpuss to climb the Barrowford Locks and reach the highest point of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
We burrow under the Pennines through Fouldridge Tunnel and find out about Buttercup the cow who is said to have swum a mile through the tunnel.
We end our journey in Yorkshire, and the views are spectacular!
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

![[HIGHLIGHT] หมีLIVEปะ? | EP.171 เห็นแต่ในจอ วันนี้มาต้องขอคารวะ](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gPWLxa0e_Z8/mqdefault.jpg)
Just to say that I absolutely love your vlogs. You are such a lovely couple! My husband and I are planning to sell our business in three years and to also have our own narrow boat built, like you did. (Otherwise we’ll argue over which boat to buy)! So you are of particular interest to us and we love love love your boat. We want ours to be light and airy too. I have a thing about spiders so old and a bit dingy wouldn’t be right for me.
My next comment is to all my follow followers of your channel..... I just want to remind everyone to always let the ads run through. Our lovely foxes don’t get a penny from an ad that’s been skipped. It doesn’t cost us anything and if we’re mindful of ‘not skipping’ then every little bit helps. And if we want our lovely vloggers to keep vlogging then we know what we have to do. Same with the thumbs up, hit it on every vlog! Subscribing is really helpful too. I try to back all of my favourite vloggers, I don’t want to lose them. Our youtubers deserve so much more for all of their hard work, (you have no idea how much hard work and research etc goes into a vlog). I value youtubers far higher than these greedy overpaid celebrities on mindless mainstream tv! So come on everyone... let’s show our handsome foxes some 💕 xxxx
Awww, thank you!
You must be so excited about getting your boat. We really appreciate your comment 😉
You’re so welcome, and thank you for your reply! We are indeed extremely excited, but it seems so far away! Wish I could just fall asleep for the next three years...I honestly am wishing my life away! Oh well, never mind. I just keep telling myself that as time goes by, the business should just hopefully keep growing so that the money pot in theory should be a bit bigger, But we would sell up tomorrow if we could ! Oh well, We will just have to watch you two lovely guys having all the fun for now. Xxxx
Three years will soon pass, but don’t wish your life away. Best wishes xx
I'm a tech dipstick whats the difference then blogger / vlogger
philip hudson a blogger writes things online, a blogger does that but in video form like Colin and Shawn do
Cobble (or cobblestone) are the rocks that used to be used for ballast for ships when they didn't have cargo to carry. Without cobble, the top hamper would be too high and cause the square-rigger sailing vessel to either list or turn turtle. Many ports had roads that were paved with cobblestones when there was a large imbalance of trade, so they arrive loaded with cobblestones and leave with cargo, so they made good use of the cobblestones by paving the streets. Many American port cities had cobblestone streets (really rough roads) because for many years, we shipped lots of cotton back to England and other areas.
Yeah, all makes sense.
But why hurl them? Unless it's through an enemy's window 😂
@@FoxesAfloat To unload them quickly from the ships?
The filming in the tunnel was brilliant thanks for getting wet Colin, but it was well worth it. Boating life suits Dillon, he is looking youthful 🐶xx
He really is loving it! He's a different dog 🐶 x
TGIF because it’s time for another professionally shot vlog from our two favorite Foxes, Colin and Shaun, thanks mates!
Haha! Thanks, Jay!
Aw, I was looking forward to seeing the cow 🐮.😂🤣
I'd loved to have but I think she died about 105 years ago 😂
@@FoxesAfloat The pub she was revived in is no longer there, either. It's now housing, unfortunately. 😢
Your Drone shots are SPECTACULAR!! Your vlogs are keeping my wife and I entertained (and sane) during LOCKDOWN 2020. Thanks.
That is awesome! Thank you! 👍🏻💜😛
Firstly, just Incase I haven’t said it; beautiful narrowboat.
Second, rough day at work. In a terrible mood and felt truly knocked down emotionally until I checked TH-cam and saw that you’d released a new video. Total turn around! Flopped on the bed and started watching! Lovely videography and dazzling drone work. Colin, you have a knack for conveying historical information in an interesting and eloquent way. What a nice gift. And kudos to the steely-eye steersman, Sean. Navigating a craft that’s 7 or 8 times as long as it is wide through narrow, twisting waterways and tunnels without doing damage. Well done skipper!
Awww, Peter. Sorry you had a bad day 👎🏻 Glad we cheered you up though 👍🏻
What i would have liked to say. Thankyou for putting into words.
My wife and are watching about 2-3 hrs of your vlogs every night at the moment to catch up to where you are now , which is coping with this lock down . We would just like to say your vlogs are brilliant very entertaining and amusing. The outtakes have us in stitches so keep up the good work and stay safe guys.
Hi, Graham 👋🏻
That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you! Only another 40 to go! 😂
😂😂😉
Me too :-)
I am going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment and I’m watching through all the episodes of your journey as a way to escape, thank you!
Aww, sorry to hear that! xx
Lovely vlog... had me smiling all the way through it. Cobble chucking is nothing. It's catching 'em that is worth a watch ;)
Ouchy! Haha! 😂
Hi! I'm a new subscriber and been watching some of your older videos. I do find them enjoyable to watch. Love your dog. He is gorgeous. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! x
Cobble Hurling - activity undertaken by myself when my Scones turn out like Rock Cakes! Beautiful shot of the Heron! Ahh Yorkshire - God’s own County - but I don’t say that too loudly to my neighbours here in Cornwall....might have to walk the plank! Fab video - thank you - the 3 of you look fab too! ❤️
Awww, thanks, Rachel! Mmmm... Love scones! 😋
I don't know what you mean it's 4 p.m. it's just after 8 a.m. I had to watch this before I headed off to work thanks for the morning smiles. Like a lot of things people forget what the purpose of the canals were originally for. How many millions of tons of cargo we removed on those canals? Even today the most efficient way of moving cargo is by water.
As Always thoroughly enjoyed the video and again enjoyed the humor and enjoyed the scenery you shared with us and mustn't forget the antics of a couple
Aww, thanks, Kriss. We always forget about people watching it outside the UK. xx
@@FoxesAfloat oh that's okay, It's a small world but we Watchers are all over.
By the way I'm still working on the same dump truck but I'm just about finished the rebuild of the dump box. But that's what 30 odd years of abuse will do to a dump truck around here.
Just Get better and better. Thanks Chaps, Make Friday afternoons something to look forward too.
Awww, thanks! Glad you're enjoying them 👍🏻
Thanks for this video, how timely. A few days ago I said we were thinking of hiring a boat. Yesterday we reserved our boat on the Leeds and Liverpool canal so we are now committed. Let the planning commence.
Not long found you guys and we are watching from the beginning you help us chill after a busy week at work. Your honesty is great I have a friend whose son is going through the processes of being diagnosed with ASD so I sent her the links to vlogs 09 and 23 and this has really helped her to understand a bit more about her son, she’s also now finding herself watching you more and more. Thank you
Welcome aboard!
re: Cobble Hurling - I assume you've seen a cobble-stone road. My guess is that 'cobble hurling' is the competitive throwing of cobble stones.
Edit: Twin boats!! Love it.
You’re exactly right! 👍🏻
I used to love having “tea”. Egg sandwich and cake! Don’t do that out here. That’s what I enjoy most about my visits home. Thanks for the reminder!! Great video. Love watching you guys
Aww, thanks! Egg sandwich 😋
Love watching these, I’m catching up on oldies I missed. I imagine cobble hurling is the same as road bowling, but with cobblestones instead of cast iron balls. So this guy goes into a butcher shop on the Yorks/Lancs border and asks for a pig’s head, so the butcher calls in to his assistant in the back, “one pig’s head, Fred”. After a while, the customer says “can you make that a Lancs pig’s head?”, and the butcher calls out “Take the brains out, Fred!”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're right about the industry, the muck and the brass. People nowadays think narrowboating is about floating slowly through the green countryside, but the canals were built to provide the infrastructure for the Industrial Revolution. Roads were hopeless then, and the railways were still 60 years off. The canals connected the country, especially Brindley's Grand Cross. It was all coal and iron and limestone, cotton and pottery. It must have been a very hard life.
Exactly! So many stories to tell 👍🏻
Great ride guys enjoyed the trip.great information and video .be safe and smile😀 Craig
Thanks, Craig! x
Ah, Bagpus! Childhood memories! (Had to buy Cadbury Milk Tray after watching your chat about the factory! You're bad for my girlish figure!)
hehe! Lovely though! 😋
Loving the cow story! We are off to Yorkshire for a holiday soon so am noting down all those lovely places you are mentioning. Also love those gorgeous canal side houses. I really envy those people!
Watch out for the tongue! Friday Fox Fest. My favorite. ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Aww, thank you, Carolyn! Haha! tongue 👅 😂
“I can smell Yorkshire” 🤣. 👍😀
😂
Stunningly put together as always guys. I'm really enjoying following the journey. Keep the videos coming, my week wouldn't be the same without one. Take care. C.
Aww, thanks, Callum! Glad you liked it 👍🏻
Cobbles, most of the roads and street around the mill towns were cobbled, squarish pieces of stones, or sets. The nicks between the sets were filled with ash or similar with tar sealing the top of the nicks. When we were kids if we had a cold our mother would get us stand near the tar waggon and breath in the hot melted tar fumes, supposed to clear a cold. Still here at 80 odd so it didn't do us much harm.
Hot tar smells lovely! Haha!
Dillon is adorable. Makes me miss my springers that have gone over. My Petey, he's a beago.
I know what you mean. I don't know how I'll cope when Dillon goes.
Every episode has such great videography and music!
The American Celtic music group, Gaelic Storm, produced a song in 2012 entitled "Out the Road", which is about a personal experience with their Road Bowling over in County Cork and Armagh.
Thanks, Bill! Interesting 👍🏻
I really enjoyed the drone footage. Being able to see the countryside around you is really enjoyable. Keep up the good work cheers
Oh, just wait till next week, Dennis 😉
Doesn’t matter when you live. Yorkshire is always home! I love watching your vlogs, you just make me happy.
Aww, thanks, Sue!
At Junior school in Birmigub, we learnt about canals and even went on a short trip from Gas Street Basin.
It's a well knowm fact that Birmingham (for our southern friends) has more miles of canals than Venice.
An alternative fact is thatthere are more shopping trolleys per mile of canal than in venice :-D
Haha! It's all clean now. You can see the bottom of the canal in a lot of places around Brum 👍🏻
You two always put a smile on my face, thanks Foxes, another great video.
Thank you! 👍🏻
i live near the tunnel,use to play down there as kids,i remember riding my bike on the frozen canal on winter as a kid,then one summer it was drained and we jumped in and had a mud fight,we were covered in mud.
Haha! I bet your parents loved that! 😂
@@FoxesAfloat My mum was very laid back lol.
Whoop! It's Friday with the Foxes!!!! :)
Haha! Enjoy! 🤩
Like I keep saying,You 2 have a life to be envious of...
👍🏻
Now now lads no new war of the roses please.Another great vlog,you guys are addictive
😂
Hurling is a Gaelic sport , kind of like field hockey. I'm guessing Cobble Hurling is just the game being played on cobbled streets. Love your videos!
Aww, thanks, John!
Oh, at the start you were talking about litter in the canal; for a moment, G&T in hand of course, I thought you said Glitter ........ 😆
Much nicer than shopping trolleys.
If you drink the canal water I believe you do indeed see glitter on the canal 🥴
Just a note to say hi to you both and can’t believe I’ve only just discovered your videos and Insta !! I started on the prime series and now binge watching the TH-cam vids it’s great to have a platform of men and mental health I’m
42 and am now on the long waiting list for my ADHD assessment with the physiologist I’ve always had anxiety and not managed things great at times
And only wish I had known more
Of adhd growing up and got myself referred years ago !! Keep doing an amazing job guys you really are a breath of fresh air x
Welcome! x
Was mad aware of your vlogs by Martin and have to say you make some great content and I'm slightly envious of the lifestyle you both have keep up the great work lads
Cheers! We'll try 👍🏻
Beautifully made video for a beautiful canal journey. Love watching your videos they are so relaxing in these covid times. Your boat is fabulous and I loved the 'cow' story which is what Foulridge tunnel is famous for. Keep up the excellent work guys😉👍😉
Thank you so much 😀
Hi guy's All of those massive tall buildings ,imagine all those years ago hundred's of workers labouring away dawn till dusk for a few copper's they are the only reminder's of the past, magnificent monuments to our industrial heratage.It's a pity that blackburn & burnley was missed out they to must have these buildings ,but never mind at least your out in the countryside again , Lovely story about the cow in the tunnel,enjoy your cruising lad's
Thanks, Peter. The architecture is stunning, and it’s good to see so much regeneration going on too.
Great footage. Love to think of Buttercup the cow swimming thorough the tunnel into Yorkshire.
Haha! Yeah 🙈
Another great Friday! Beautiful countryside views! Thanx for making my day!
If you love great countryside, just wait till next week! x
"I can smell Yorkshire". does it smell like cake, Colin? ;0
It smells like lovely. x
The first time we went through the Foulridge tunnel in our cabin cruiser my mother decided to boil a kettle to make coffee or tea. This steamed up the windows in the wheelhouse so I was sent to stand outside and direct my father who was steering and swearing. And on that trip it rained so much we ran out of dry socks & had to wear supermarket plastic bags instead. But it was a great holiday all the same.
OMG! Sounds like a right adventure 😂
Dillon looks so secured between his two favorite hoomans! :)
💜💜💜
Thought I was seeing double there at Barrowsford! You sure Silver Fox isn’t the illegitimate son of Bagpuss and Michael Fox?!😆😆
Back in the 70s we moored the night where you were waiting for the tunnel, and at dusk, hundreds and hundreds of bats came out of the portal! It were proper amazin! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
haha! You should have seen Bagpuss before she was refurbished!
Many thanks for another very entertaining episode, guys. 😃👍👏👏👏👏
Thank you, Terry. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
im a yorkshire man too guy,s, born and bred from clayton bradford. but live in east yorks now for over 30 years. your video was brilliant great editing and music .
Aww, thanks John! 👍🏻
Such beautiful drone work!
You guys excel every vlog. Obviously Foxes Afloat and Excellence are synonymous. 😉
Aw, that’s so kind. Thank you!
Having only found your channel a few weeks ago i have spent the last 7-10 days catching up watching all your brilliant and very professional looking vlogs. Now that i have caught up i am eagerly awaiting number 63. Great channel guys and thanks for all the effort that you put into making them.
Hey, Douglas, thanks for joining us. WELCOME! Episode 63 is pretty special!
One of the benefits of your vlogs is gaining a better appreciation of the various parts of your wonderful country. It brings them more to life for me. I've read about Hannah Hauxwell who lived in North Yorkshire and I've also enjoy TheTaxiDriver's channel as he walks through your various countrysides. With all these sources of information I'm delevoping apretty good feeling of what life must be like there. Thanks.
One thing I've wondered is whether your boat has anything like "bow thrusters" that would allow you to turn the front of the boat easier. Shaun makes it look so easy. I notice he is always looking out on both sides and the front. Good captaining Shaun! Carry on you guys.
Yeah, if you've not seen any of our other vlogs. We do have a bow thruster 👍🏻
Oi don't take the mickey out of us southerners cos we talk proper lol!! Great channel I really look forward to each posting. Many thanks Clay.
PS - I thought there was light at the end of the tunnel - but I was wrong it was the boss with a torch bringing me more work!!!!
I'm sorry. Can you say that again , I couldn't quite understand you. 😂
@@claywalker9064 😂
I used to live in Colne, used to cycle all over pendle and Foulridge and down to reedley, Nelson, Burnley etc.. Don't blame you for getting through the two Bs ASAP lol.. Canal looks better though, nice to see the obligatory shopping trolley in the water on Nelson.. 😥 🙄😬 Somethings never change. 😥 Country's lovely after that off towards Trawden and Haworth but am glad I don't live there now... Ooh heck da, I fin' mesen' thinking abou' bam cakes agan! 🤣
the more i watch the more i realise this needs to a TV series can you last a hour ???
Haha! I can last as long as you want 😂
I love watching these guys!!!! I want a narrow boat but I live in Florida LOL And National lampoons is definitely the best Christmas movie LMAO
Ah, it’s really not though 😂
It is, it actually really is the greatest Christmas film...💃
Amazing story of the cow falling in and swimming all that way thru the tunnel to fend for her life! Amazing!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He's a great looking dog too ! :-)
Everybody loves Dillon 👍🏻
At Nelson when the canal was built there was no town there. But, there was a canal side pub. It was called "The Nelson" and that is how the town developed it's name.
Nice one 👍🏻
Welcome back to "God's Own Country" Boy's!
Loving keeping up to your escapades!
"Cobble Hurling" Cast your mind to the cobble streets of Haworth or even Halifax in some places (Peace Hall springs to mind)
Have you seen the size of them things unearthed!
"Shot Put" but in the form of solid stone
"Bon Voyage"
Stay safe all three!
Cobble Hurling...? With my dodgy shoulder...? No ta 😂
Please lick, comment and subscribe!
Haha! He would too 🐶 👅 😂
Some 'Ace' filming and storytelling going on here. You guys are really setting the bar with your wonderful life capturing imagery that you are sharing with us.... thank you.
Awww, that's a lovely thing to say. Thanks, Mark! x
Discovered your channel from viewing CruisingTheCut. You guys are wonderful, great humor and fantastic production quality. Time well spent. Now I’m going to have to binge watch the backlog of videos.
Hey, Scott! 👋🏻
Aww, thank you, and WELCOME!
I hope you enjoy the story 👍🏻
Looking forward to your vlog on the scenery of Yorkshire! This tunnel episode reminded me of the first time I ever had to take our boat up the canal on my own , my husband was in a play ! Maiden voyage following some friends. When we came to the Islington tunnel they reassured me by saying just follow us we’ll guide you ! Pah ! I entered the tunnel and couldn’t see a thing , their boat blocked the light at the end of the tunnel and I ricocheted from one side of the brick s to the other ! Not exactly a scenic route or one that inspires confidence, anyway am still here!
OMG! Hahahaha! We did that once with a hire boat 😂
Thanks Dylan for another great episode!!!
I thought it was Dillon.
Haha! None taken 😂 x
It is 👍🏻
I love that drone shot in the locks, where Shaun and Dawn are waving, and you can see Dillon's tail wagging along in sync as if he were waving, too!
That tail never stopped wagging xx
Your videos would be great for the tourism industry. A couple of weeks of canal life is the cure for stress. Thank you for my weekly dose!
No problem, Jeff! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Hi Colin and Shaun,
I enjoy watching the outstanding natural wonders of our country side,the agricultural field patterns made on the landscapes,
Single meandering pathways beside the canal,I am in total awe of our English canal system,as silver 🦊 cruise onto your next
Awesome adventure,seeking out such amazing land mark locations,so expertly done ,by the both of you,
Carry on cruising guys,
Thanks! 👍🏻
When I first saw one of your videos, I thought, "Obviously one of these guys used to be in the video business." Turns out, you were both electricians! Great video, informative, superb editing and sound.
When I first watched/subscribed I too thought one of the guys had a previous life some video editing or TV related job... The creativity and professionalism of the shooting and editing really is, in my opinion, TV worthy. I love watching these videos!
Aww, that’s really kind of you to say, Trevor. Thank you!
Heath Wells Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them 👍🏻
They do a lot of cobble hurling in Paris, it seems to be a long established pastime, that and setting fire to cars, if you don't like your President you go out and chuck cobble stones, We don't do that sort of thing in good old Yorkshire, might chuck a wellie or two lol.
Love your Vlogs, keep up the good work, we live in central France and cannot visit the uk at the moment but you help to keep me sane in these insane times, lots of love from a Yorkshire guy and his french partner.
Aww, thanks guys!
That was brilliant as always. The scenery was lovely but the most gorgeous sight in the video was Dillon. He is too cute for words ❤️
Haha! Everybody loves Dillon 😍
Hello again from Kentucky USA - Slowly getting caught up on your shows, enjoying them - Was over in London during the Christmas holidays for my daughters wedding, yes she as has married one of your Country Gentleman.
Nice one! 👍🏻💜
Narrow boat bagpuss looked a lot like silver fox. Great video as always
Hey, Mark. Yeah, they are very similar from the outside x
I was looking forward to seeing a bit of my home town (Blackburn) but I understand it has declined a lot such a shame. Now I live in Stockholm Sweden which is very beautiful and clean, but you can’t beat the scenery of the north of England I still think it’s the most beautiful place on earth and I have travelled a bit.Thanks again for your episode’s they are so pleasing to watch.
Thanks, Max!
I am so glad you entered Yorkshire. Why not stay there seeing as you feel quite comfortable with those tight tykes.
Because we’d miss your cracking sense of humour 😂
17.01 mins, roll on next Friday, great vid .
Thanks, Tony!
You guys get it,the balance between preserving and existing in the present. I love the old mills,Martin of course keeps my viewing time busy there,but to preserve them in today's world means, gasp!,going into flats or offices etc. And I like how you cover the canals into Liverpool, Manchester etc. These areas have a hard working and yes gritty history, but that is the point. Love you guys.
Aww, cheers, Andrew! 👍🏻
Really enjoyable video...Lovely to see all three of you together at the end. I was trying to decide who was the better looking....and i'm afraid it has to be said guys....Dillon has got that certain something..ha ha
Haha! Everybody loves Dillon 🐶 💖
Great Memories thanks to You Guys
I grew up on the Leeds and Liverpool canal! My dad worked for British Waterways, initially as a canal worker and eventually as the Lock Keeper at Greenberfield Locks !
I now live in Bavaria, Germany so thoroughly enjoy these blogs!
Oooh! Don’t miss this Friday’s episode. We go through Greenberfield! 👍🏻 You’ll have never seen it the way we’ve filmed it 😉 x
Drone views were fabtastic!! Grrrr so which it was February next month getting a bit jealous now lol!!
It will soon pass 👍🏻
Here's hoping the weather isn't battering silver fox, weather here in east Devon is certainly horrid atm!
@@mattstubbington8805 Its a bit choppy but we're safe and secure 👍🏻
We were moored up and enjoying a meal in the pub at the end of the Foulridge Tunnel when a bunch of lads came in. They were on a sponsored barge pull from Liverpool to Leeds. They made a good few quid from the people in the pub.
Fabulous vlog. ANOTHER fabulous vlog. And given that you’re evidently so happy to be in Yorkshire I’m looking forward to seeing more of it in the coming vlogs. Great guitar music on this one.... Thanks. The Lob Lane bit was, ahem, outstanding.
Lob Lane 😂
Cobble Hurling is when you throw a guy who makes shoes...no wait! - That’s Cobbler Hurling! 😉🙂🙄😂
😂😂😂
Absoloutly Hooked on your videos. I know nothing about narrow boats never been on one never thought about going on one and didn’t know canals where even that functional great work guys 👍🏻
Aww, thanks Adam! 👍🏻
You can count me in that bucket too LOL -- I should be doing a bit of work but I keep pressing play on the next one ;)
Yay! Another vlog. Look forward to them all week. Love the music for the outtakes section! x
Thanks, Sue 😍
I remember growing up as a kid opening the swing bridge in church for boaters coming past for sweets, that swing bridge is near church Kirk a medieval church in church accrington fond memories
Wow! I wish people gave us sweets when we passed swing bridges 😂
@@FoxesAfloat let me know next time you're passing accrington and I'll pop for a brew
Have been busy this week and lost track of which day....... then my notification thingy pinged... Its Friday it's after four..... Its my Foxey Fix....yeah! Fab as always guys, but i must just say that darling Dylan was even more gorgeous than normal. Have a good week xxx
Haha! Everybody loves Dillon! Have a fab weekend, Karen! x
Awesome video, I really enjoy watching your travels.
Thanks, Bill! 👋🏻
Hi Colin and Shaun thanks for your interesting chat , love the old craftmanship , that is stone mostly isnt it ,rather than brick ? Cows can swim so its a good story of buttercup . Lot of work in building the tunnel , thanks for showing inside , Dillon is cute lol x
Thank you! 👍🏻
Hi guys :) thx for another lovely vlog :) After watching the conception and build of Silver Fox, it is a joy to follow your continuing journey along the canals. And you always seem to manage to include some historical perspective or anecdote into the vlog. Very nice :) thx again and looking forward to the next vlog :) regards, Fenna
Aww, thanks, Fenna! I love researching where we're going without going overboard on the history. Glad you enjoyed it! x
Love ya guys another fan video. X
Thank you! 👍🏻
cobble hurling is throwing a cobble which oop north refers to a shaped piece of stone usually square, if it was a large cobble it would be quite heavy.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That looked like a sister boat to the silver fox you were sharing a lock with . 🧐
Same builder 😉
@@FoxesAfloat I thought a lot of the external fixings had a similar appearance. 🤓👍🏻
Friday 4pm= the weekend,Dillon is gorgeous .Great vlog guys
Haha! Everyone loves Dillon 👍🏻
Hi Colin, Shaun and Dylan, have just discovered your blogs and am watching from the very beginning. Never been on a narrow boat but am throughly enjoying watching your adventures in the beautiful scenery.
Aww, welcome, Janice! I hope you enjoy our adventures! 👍🏻💜
Thank you Thank you, thank you!! Always brilliant. So glad you’re feeling better, think you’re very brave sharing so much & hopefully helping so many people be more understanding! 🌻🤗🌻
Aww, thanks. That means a lot. Yeah, I'm feeling much better now again. xxx
It is so interesting to see travel to these familiar places and yet because you are not going by road, we get to see them in a whole new way.
Very excited to be getting into Yorkshire with you.
Always a good day to see you have posted another video.
Thank you! x
