really loved the music on the start of this one, Ant. just so happy clappy, the kind of stuff an old grump like me likes. (I'm not really grumpy, or I would leave you nice comments!) what can I say, I'm a sucker for tambourines! shh, don't tell anyone, but I am an ABBA fan! great scenery, as usual. LOVED the platoon of swans swimming by! I always feel like I'm walking right along with you in your videos!
Abba are great 😀 I try to keep the music as positive as possible, fitting in with the film so I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I'll need bagpipes for Scotland 😂👍
Good to see the sport of swan racing is alive and well in the sticks!!!!! Loving the mile markers and well done for finding a railway relic in the Dirty Duck!!!! 👍👍
@trekkingandtowpaths What a beautiful day you had showing off the Lincolnshire and Leicestershire countryside at it's best. I've had a real bonus today, watching your Chesterfield Canal Vids this morning, then got the notification that the Grantham Canal final part was posted - result!! I'm so pleased that you took my recommendation of the Dirty Duck(it was called the 'Ruddy Duck' when I lived around there), seeing Joanne's face and thumbs-up after her meal made my day. It was really nice of you to promote the Grantham Canal project, I'm sure they will appreciate it. Keep up the excellent work.
Morning 😀 Sorry for the late reply. We are currently in Scotland on the Caledonian Canal 😀 This part of the canal is fantastic and i plan on doing a trip on the day boat too in the future. Hope you are well, cheers, Ant 😀👍
@@TrekkingExploration I'd be replying late if I was up there as well, it's a beautiful place so no worries!!! My wife and I go up there most years and base ourselves just north of Fort William in a place called Tulloch Bridge. We tend to go at Easter when there is still a good amount of snow on the mountains, so hiking up there is an unbelievable experience at that time of year. Have a great time.
Moving from Fulham ( London ) to Grantham in December January and this looks like a lovely walk Very interesting Oh and the dirty duck or whatever its called is on my radar already lol
Having seen all 3 now it's obvious a huge amount of work is still to be done. Many bridges not now suitable as they have been altered since the canal closed. Can't see it happening in my lifetime but it will be worth it in the end. A great project.
Another place I love to go. Not had the chance to ride that far along the canal for quite some time. And I think it was at the bridge 62 you showed where me and my mate camped in the farmers field. And I hope to ride the entire canal again before the end of the year.
I'm so glad I found your channel as I absolutely love your canal vlogs. The beautiful scenery, peace and sunshine really reminds me of my childhood where I spent many an happy hour on the 'top cut' as we call it around Cossall.
Morning 😀 I grew up in Trowell, living there for 17 years until 2001. Spent many hours on both the Nottingham and the Erewash. So lucky to have them both 😀 Thank you for the kind comment 😀
@@TrekkingExploration the old line forks off not far from there. One line gose to Harston and the other runs up the side of Denton Reservoir then heads towards the back of Harlaxton. Harlaxton Manor had a railway running into the back of it but don't know where it came from. Keep the videos coming there all interesting
love your video's i have seen on other Explores you can become a Pateron and donate a small amount of money and they put your name at the end of the video in the credits do you have any plans for this ?
Morning 😀 Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy them. The Patreon thing has been mentioned before and it could well be looked at again in the future. It's a possibility. Thank you for the kind comment and suggestion 😀

The Swans were unbelievable 😀Yes the little wagon table in the dirty duck, lovely pub 😁
beautiful part of the country, walked around here many times with my son when he was younger, a pint in the dirty duck is a must.
This is a lovely little stretch, the Dirty Duck is fantastic :)
Thanks for the video and Chat. Nice scenery. Thank buddy!
Thanks very much 🙂
Loved swan army. Another great film, have to find first two parts.
The Swans were fantastic 😀 Most I've ever seen in one go
Love the fly past from the swans
I couldn't quite believe how many there were that day 🙂

Great walk and a fantastic combination of canal and railway

Morning James, it's lovely up there. If i cycled it I'd probably come back on the train though 😂
Cool t-shirt! Abstract turntable, neat!
Yeah it is quite a good one 😉😀

Loved the swans. Greeting from NE Ohio USA.
Morning, it's hello from Inverness, Scotland today 😀 The Swans were amazing 😀
Fabulous video! I found you via Martin Zero and have subscribed.
Hi Julie 😀 Thanks for watching, the kind comment and following too 👍😀
I plan on coming to this city.
If you turn off the canal at bridge 62 then cross over the bridge it takes you back on to the disused railway line
Hi Martin I'll have a look. Thanks for watching 😀
