Nice how you turned camera when woman & her children were passing. Very respectful 👍 Love your narrowboat journeys & them geese can be quite intimidating lol
16:30 Love that tune so much! It has become a firm ear worm amongst my closest family including my lovely boys. (Children) They even created some special 'custom' fun - lyrics to it 💕 Loving your work Phil
Thanks for posting. I enjoyed your walking videos but it's nice to see you back on the cut. Watching narrow boat vlogs it never ceases to amaze me when I see the huge numbers of Canada geese, swans and herons. Going back to my days in England we used to take narrow boat holidays in the late 70s. We saw a few herons but from memory we never saw geese and swans. It's beautiful to see them on the canals (even though they may be a bit of a nuisance sometimes).
Good Grief. It’s right you called those Canada Geese Yobs. What a racket.! Great to see you out cruising again but having said that we did enjoy your walks and cycle rides.
The geese are so loud! Here, they are a nuisance because they tend to go: waddle, waddle, PLOP PLOP. Waddle Waddle PLOP PLOP.Lovely to see the boys too at the end. I've missed them.
Some very nice canal scenery, history and information . A great vlog as usual . Bit of a giggle with the cyclist and the crossover bridge. And when you moored up at the end, the geese suddenly went quite and you walked into view with a hatchet, that was really a hammer. I thought, goose for tea. Thanks, and take care.
Thank you. I'm just going to be going over previously visited places. The canal is closed for the next two months. Not expected to reopen until end of June.
When I ran a model shop in the 1990s, I often took trade stands at shows in the Macclesfield area and I loved staying at Bollington. You have done me proud in recent weeks, on land and on water. It's clearly still a lovely place. Smashing and a sign of normality returning.
Just watched this vlog through Bollington and at last, finally, we have seen our boat moored up!!!!!! We are ao pleased and as we have not stepped foot onboard yet we were over the moon!!! Hoping that bridge 37/38 will open in time for next week!!!! Xx
So that is twenty one minutes and three seconds of Phil's unique style of capturing canal life that I shall look forward to watching later, nice to see you on water again though I was also really enjoying your rambles on land :)
Hi. I’ve just dropped upon your vlogs. I must say I really enjoyed this one, so I will be checking all your others. Nice and peaceful and relaxed as reflected in your filming...no rush, just gentle 3mph and nothing speeded up. Thank you. Subscribed
Was a little worried when only 2 ducks seemed to escape your boat at bridge 28. 🦆 🦆 Really like your song after that bridge, would be a good song at a Ren Faire.
The picture is very clear, felt I could reach in and touch the water. We have some lakes nearby so flocks of Canada geese are always flying over making a racket but I still love to hear them. Hope they were all okay after their disagreements. Lovely to see the cats. 👍🏻😊
Lovely to see Bushka and Midge emerge at the end of your vlog Phil and did I detect a cheeky little smile on your face as you described the exploits of the cyclist versus twisty bridge? I thought so 😉. Great to hear your TH-cam subscribers are increasing. Perhaps the cats need to do a bit of the ‘if you like the vlog click and subscribe’ patter. We should never underestimate the power of cats! 🐱🐱
Another of my running routes when I visit my daughter in Macclesfield. This one has the advantage over White Nancy in that it is flat. That crossover bridge 29 is very steep and usually very slippery, we hold on tightly when going down. I am not surprised the cyclist nearly came off. Is it just me tuned in to see the alien spaceship at 7.58? All the best.
Ducks and geese are the most violent species I have ever witnessed during the mating season. They will kill to get what they want! The canal looks very clean?
Got them at ten or twelve weeks old. Kept them inside for three months, they were too young to go out anyway. Then short supervised outings which gradually got longer. They have Loc8tor tracker tags on their collars which despite the very limited range has found them many times.
Well I'm back at top again!. I forget what the number is now!..!ol. Today has been my birthday Phil.. Dear Lord im now 75 😳!!!... im not sure how it made this far!!!......😳 A very quiet and relaxed birthday...So I'm celebrating and having a nice cold beer and watching your vlogs untill I get very sleepy.....always a nice bedtime adventure...😊 Hope all is well...take care..😊
Another beautiful video in your own immaculate style. Having watched the recent walks, it was nice to see everything from a different perspective. Gosh, those geese were really noisy, as they usually are. Great work once again with the editing and you music. Speaking of which, have you produced another CD yet?
Thank you. Another CD is a long way off as I have to devote most of my time to making videos. New music tracks will be added as and when I finish them however.
Hi Phil David Chave attempting to finish off the last comment that was cut short because my Index finger accidentally touched the wrong button . What I wanted to say that if you have been on this particular part of the Canal the Geese May have recognised the Narrowboat May they remembered the 2 cats inside and said to each other those 2 cats are back David Chave the 2 cats
Hi bud. I'm planning on kayaking the length of the Macclesfield canal starting from Bugsworth basin. I'm planning on a wildcamp somewhere between bollington and macclesfeild. Do you know any good spots along this stretch possible to pitch a 2 man tent ?
Hi, enjoyed your video. I'm hiring a Day boat for myself & friends this Sunday from Bollington boats & bikes. Which direction has the least amount of locks please?
Nice how you turned camera when woman & her children were passing. Very respectful 👍 Love your narrowboat journeys & them geese can be quite intimidating lol
Thanks 👍
Hi love your music and the cats.
Your pictures are remarkably clear.
Thank you so much 😀
At 7:58 A flying Saucer as well, thank you most enjoyable.
They are the Murgons! 😉
Enjoyed the music. Very nice.
Thank you very much. :-)
16:30 Love that tune so much! It has become a firm ear worm amongst my closest family including my lovely boys. (Children) They even created some special 'custom' fun - lyrics to it 💕
Loving your work Phil
That tune is called Flutter.
Oh I do love your guitar..as beautiful as my harp..very very nice. 😊
Another glorious journey on the Macclesfield. 😊
Thanks again!
It's great travelling on the Mac

Thank you. The birds are quite localised. Lots of geese, not many swans around here. Other places will be different.
Good Grief. It’s right you called those Canada Geese Yobs. What a racket.! Great to see you out cruising again but having said that we did enjoy your walks and cycle rides.
Thank you. More of everything to come...

A ??
Phil it would be so nice to have a CD of just your guitar.. At least I would love that!.A!though I do really like it all..😊
Anyone noticed the flying saucer when passing Bollington aqueduct?
That's just his method of determining if anyone pays attention. I believe it is unique amongst narrowboaters.
Yes, I saw it too!!
Now I have to remember on whose clog and when I have seen another UFO.
On the move again...nice Phil. Cheers
Nope - the canal is now closed until possibly the end of June! Looks like I'll be turning around and revisiting previous locations for a while. :-(
I never tire of seeing the "Macc"
Thank you for sharing your time on this beautiful waterway.
Very scenic route with an awesome ending of two beautiful cats. Go get those geese! Lol

They disappeared after I stopped there.
Very nice thank you for sharing . Good health and happiness to you.
I think at this stage it is so lovely to go anywhere even if it is virtually. And this was a lovely journey which is a bonus. Thank you.

@13:28 That's a *Canalligator* - quite common on some waterways, usually mistaken for partially-submerged logs...
Good to see you moving on the water again and to see Bushka and Midge. Stay safe and well.
The canal is still closed in Macclesfield... Very frustrating.
Just watched this vlog through Bollington and at last, finally, we have seen our boat moored up!!!!!! We are ao pleased and as we have not stepped foot onboard yet we were over the moon!!! Hoping that bridge 37/38 will open in time for next week!!!! Xx
Thank you. I didn't know which was your boat?
@@NarrowboatJourneys will message u.

Beautiful cruise as always.
Great video but hang on,around the 8 minute mark there’s what looks like a ufo goes across the screen lol
There's a clue about that in the intro sequence! 😉
always very nice vlog
Hello Phil, Its good to see your cats again! Hope there's no more lockdowns for you! Enjoy the rest of the day!
Lockdown is gradually easing but the canal is still closed...
Thanks for the vlog Phil, it's nice to be able to move again.

Thanks so much. Welcome aboard! 😊
Was a little worried when only 2 ducks seemed to escape your boat at bridge 28. 🦆 🦆 Really like your song after that bridge, would be a good song at a Ren Faire.
All three ducks landed in front of my boat. The third duck flew back towards me, and then went over the top of the bridge and re-joined his friends.
The picture is very clear, felt I could reach in and touch the water. We have some lakes nearby so flocks of Canada geese are always flying over making a racket but I still love to hear them. Hope they were all okay after their disagreements. Lovely to see the cats. 👍🏻😊

It was pretty dangerous him trying to cycle up there. It's very steep and someone could have been coming down the other way. I did laugh.
Thanks for the trip. music was very nice too by the way.
Glad you enjoyed it. All music produced "in boat"! ;-)
Nice to see you out and about again, another lovely cruising video. Stay safe a I look forward to your next adventure. :-)
Lovely
A nice little journey in real time... I like it...
Hi Phil. I always enjoy your traveling vlogs.
Beautiful as always!
Thank you! 😊
Lovely video again thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 😊
good vlog on the cut keep up the vlogs you do
Nice video

Thank you. Those steps are very dodgy.
Ducks and geese are the most violent species I have ever witnessed during the mating season. They will kill to get what they want! The canal looks very clean?
It's clean because there are very few boats moving right now.
Love relaxing to your videos . Cheers stay safe all the best 👍😀
Loved the alligator!!!
Wonderful 👍🏻😎🙂🐶🐶🐶🐱🐱
Can anyone tell me what's going on with the UFO at 7.58 mins in this video, flies from left to right of picture.
There's a clue in the video intro sequence! 😉
Whats that UFO at 7:58 about 😂
That was its second appearance in that video! ;-)
@7.57 is that a ufo flying over the canal?
Yes it is! 😉
Can I ask how you managed to get the two cats used to the boat and not run off when they first arrived.
Got them at ten or twelve weeks old. Kept them inside for three months, they were too young to go out anyway. Then short supervised outings which gradually got longer. They have Loc8tor tracker tags on their collars which despite the very limited range has found them many times.
Was that boy duck's showing off for the girl duck's?? Is it that time of year ?
Yes it was.
Well I'm back at top again!. I forget what the number is now!..!ol. Today has been my birthday Phil..

Happy birthday! And thank you for the PayPal Susan. :-)
@@NarrowboatJourneys Thank you and it is my pleasure...😊
A lovely cruise thank you. Were the cats ok with the noisy geese?
Bushka was walking down the gunwale (canal side) and some geese flew in and splashed down right beside the boat. He panicked and fell in! He was ok.
Another beautiful video in your own immaculate style. Having watched the recent walks, it was nice to see everything from a different perspective. Gosh, those geese were really noisy, as they usually are. Great work once again with the editing and you music. Speaking of which, have you produced another CD yet?
Thank you. Another CD is a long way off as I have to devote most of my time to making videos. New music tracks will be added as and when I finish them however.
@@NarrowboatJourneys Thanks. I’ll look forward to hearing and buying any new tracks .
do you what kind of fish they fish for on the canals
There are quite a variety of fresh water fish in the canals. Mostly Roach, Dace, Perch, Pike etc.

the 2 cats
No, the geese are like that all the time.
Whats the UFO at 7.58?
Nice to see you were paying attention. ;-)

No idea, sorry.
Great recording skills you have there sir. Do you record aboard?
Thank you, yes it's all recorded here on my boat.
Hi, enjoyed your video. I'm hiring a Day boat for myself & friends this Sunday from Bollington boats & bikes. Which direction has the least amount of locks please?
North
@@NarrowboatJourneys Thank you for that.
Do the geese quiet down at night?
Yes, usually they do.
Who else just searched up the town they live in? No? Just me?
Always a pleasure.. thx.... do your kitties ever stay out too late and worry you?
The towpath is so busy these days that the only time they do go out is at night. Safer then.
