  • We need to get a move on and beat the canal closure! A narrowboat journey on the Macclesfield Canal after five glorious weeks means we finally wave goodbye to the Peak Forest Canal as we move on exploring Britain by Narrowboat.
    But all is not well! A leak has led to a winter canal closure being brought forward so we can't hang about! Still, we do get some time soak in the beauty as we journey on the Macclesfield canal.
    Colin discovers the story of last paid Jester in the UK, as we head through Bollington and Macclesfield, continuing our adventure towards the Bosley flight of locks.
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    Just fantastic production value in these Vlogs. I mean it’s like they have been produced by a professional video production corporation. The shots from the air the shots of your narrow boat from the perspective of the path etc. it takes so much time and energy I’m certain people have no idea.
    I have some idea and appreciate the effort. Thank you for all your hard work.

    Dillon was a star in this one. He's the envy of all his shore-dog friends, who think it's his narrow boat with the two of you for his crew. Those outtakes at the last court jester's grave show all what it takes to make a VLOG as fine as yours. Just finding the flawless takes in your final cut must take an hour! Splendid music, by the way.

    Colin & Shaun. I discovered your most interesting channel a few weeks ago and am working my way through the blogs. The Macclesfield canal brought back many happy memories of being taught how to manage a canoe properly when I was in the Scouts; we used to go from around Higher Poynton. I lived near Stockport. I've also been enjoying Dillon's antics and the extremely high quality and professional video and sound you have produced. The drone gives it another dimension and of course you have the photographer's eye for a good camera angle. Well done and thank you for all the historical and local information you give us.

    We always knew the grave as Maggoty Johnson's grave and the woods as Maggoty Johnson's wood and I spent many happy adolescent times there with various lady "friends" - just discussing the flora and fauna you understand! Thanks again for this video, all the best.

I also love the tranquil beauty that is England, love seeing the old mill's revived and turned into modern lofts and so on, the quaint bridges, we just don't have this in America. Also . . . your music choices for this one were Spot On. I found the historical element of Samuel Johnson and Maggoty Wood quite interesting.
