FLOOD! Narrowboat Stranded by Flooding as Stratford-upon-Avon Floods! Ep. 92

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- We're in Bancroft Basin during a flood! Our narrowboat stranded by flooding after Storm Dennis. With the river flood water rising, Stratford-upon-Avon is flooded and we keep a close eye out as the water creeps towards the canal, threatening to flood the basin.
Our adventure across Britain by Narrowboat brings us to the home of Shakespeare, this medieval town is packed full of history and Colin takes some fantastic drone footage of the town and floods across Stratford-upon-Avon.
As soon as the levels dropped we make our way back up the South Stratford-upon-Avon Canal to Wilmcote, just in time for Storm Jorge!

That little swan dance at the beginning was adorable.
Bless'em! 💜💜
That is why I enjoy these fellow so much. There is always a bit of whimsical
Hello from San Francisco Bay Area. You two, WITHOUT a doubt, have the BEST presentation on the net ,,, Thank you for all the work you do to provide such a professional and enjoyable blog. Can’t say enough good .... Bruce T. Martens from the Napa Valley area.....
Awww, hey! Aren’t you kind! Thank you 💜
The homeless man is well known and liked locally. That is his (almost) permanent mooring. A very interrsting man. He likes Radio 4 and cider, and may soon be moving to an appartment, if he can settle to it
You put a ton of hard work into these videos to get the best camera angles, very much appreciated.
Awww, thank you for noticing and appreciating it 💜
When the swans do their dance, their necks form a heart, how romantic! Made me smile.
It’s beautiful!
Colin! You looked just like a weatherman at 4:05 in. Wow! Send the rain to California! Love you guys!
Hehe! Yeah, I'll happily swap some rain for a bit of sun and warmth! 👍🏻xx
Great video. I am just amazed at the amount of flooding, and to hear that other parts of the UK were even worse; the drone footage was very well done The swans were adorable, thanks for that. The silver fox bit made me smile, you guys are great. Thanks so much for the video and the laughs! ❤️
Ah, it's our pleasure to have you join us every week 👍🏻💜
This is my first time writing a comment. I have been subscribed and watching for many months and I think this was my favorite vlog yet. Your combination of artistic views and beautiful images with interesting information becomes more professional with every one. I especially enjoy the many different views you employ and your use of the drone is superb. I recently lost my wife of 53 years. Your vlogs bring a moment of peace into my confused and sad state of mind. Thank you for sharing your travels and your lives with us. Best regards, Dave.
Hey, Dave 👋
Happy First Comment Day! 🥳
Thank you so much for the feedback, it means so much. I'm really sorry that you lost your wife. I can't imagine the despair if I lost Shaun. You're more than welcome to share our adventures every week. Sending love! 💜
Loved seeing those Swans doing love hearts together - like they were performing for you both ❤️🇦🇺
So lovely!
I love your blog! I live in Texas in the U.S. and have enjoyed seeing a part of the U.K. that I have never seen before. Your videography is sometimes breathtaking! I like the format you use and I also enjoy your accent! Y'all are way cool!
hehe! Thank you, Mike! 👍🏻
You guys... love it how Sean cracks up each time Colin says something silly. Which of course is often. x
Such a mixture of stories and images, plus some lovely chill out moments with beautiful scenery.
Thanks, Kathryn. Really glad you enjoyed it 💜
Thank you boys :) I have travelled very little in my 64 years due to a childhood trauma, but your way of explaining your route, the history/stories and your wonderful editing of the drone/camera footage makes me feel like I am on the journey with you. Best wishes xx
Martin, thank you so much for appreciating the effort I go to in creating these videos. I'm so sorry you can't enjoy it for real, but I hope we continue to make you welcome to join us every Friday 💜
"Moron, Valued CRT Customer.." I nearly fell off my chair laughing :) Love the VLOG, keep it up guys. Travel safe until next week!
Cheers, Mark! 😂
In honor of your trip to Stratford upon Avon and in memory of Shaun’s Dad and your beloved Dillon, a little bit of the Bard: “My crown I am, but still my griefs are mine. You may my glories and my state depose but not my griefs; still am I king of those.” (Richard II) God knows that 2020 held far too many griefs for us all. Here’s to better days in 2021. Cheers mates! 💗
💜
Having personally experienced homelessness in the past, thank you for being so very kind to the homeless person. As always huge respect to you both.
You are so welcome!
I was homeless lads, thanks for showing a bit of humanity, I'm sure it meant a lot. Even to have a bit of banter as well as the food. Good stuff
Cheres, Jamie. I hope you're all sorted now mate 💜
@@FoxesAfloat much better thanks mate. That's how I came across you guys, I have PTSD and while homeless slept next to a river because the sound of water is soothing (dont need to tell you I'm sure). I started planning on buying a canal boat and been watching you lads since.. very soothing viewing when I'm struggling, you're actually a big part of my life 😳😂
You are so smart. I love listening to you and your partner. I sure appreciate you educating me. God bless you sons. I love watching ya'll.
Thanks so much
Thank you for the update of the flooding. I have been wondering how it was. Thank you for all the drone footage. Your videos are getting better and better. The courtship of the swans was amazing. Thank you both for all the laughter. Greeting from snowy Ohio USA.
Thank you! It was the first time I'd seen the swans do that. Lovely! 💜
I do enjoy this madness! Keep laughing, enjoying and streaming, and I'll keep watching! Thanks, mates!
Cheers, Dan! 👊🏻
Thanks for the great shots of results of the storm. Also thanks for just accepting the results of the storm and carrying on with life with no drama (except for those generators that seem to grow on the tow path), you need to find some type of spray to kill them off. Glad for you all, enjoying all that life brings along the cut.
No point making a drama when you can just get on with it 👍🏻💜
Thank you Shaun for being so kind to the homeless person.
👍🏻
Great vlog yet again! Personally, I'm a fan of Colin's informational bits of the local lore or local history of the places you're passing, so keep up the great job! Safe travels to you both and a big smoochie for Dyllan!
I agree. I love his tidbits about were they sail through. Always interesting stories about British life of the past.
Aww, thank you so much. I always think I'm boring people when I talk 😂
Foxes Afloat anything but!
Loved the swans.
Swans are cool! 🦢
You guys are just a breath of fresh air.
Thank you so much!
Always love watching your vids, I can see that Deb and Mark survive not only the storms but you two as well
Enjoy the moments leads
Nigel and Polly
That should be less not leads, bloody autocorrest
I think we're tiring them out 😂
Amazing drone footage. You both make make me laugh. I’m really enjoying your channel.
Thanks so much
It has been awhile since I told you how much I appreciate your vlogs, so there it is. They have it all, education, beautiful scenery, wonderful scores, and lots of humor! My God I love yous guys, stay safe! ~USA fan~
Thank you so much!!
you are man after my heart. Lots of tidbits of history and knowledge. I am learning so much about “things”.
Glad you're enjoying the madness, Teresa xx
The swan dance is lovely! ❤️ And it was very kind of you to help the homeless gentleman. Thank you!
Thanks, Linda 💜
I've only just found you both...I absolutely love what you have been doing with your lives. Making wonderful memories. Thank you for showing us all. I watch everyday now.
Keep vids coming.
Stay safe.
Penny
Welcome, Penny! Thank you so much for joining us 👍🏻💜
That live stream you two did was great fun. I love storms a lot!
Thank you! Yeah, I'd love to go storm chasing in the States 👍🏻😛
Great how you gents filmed the flood water before and after the rain. I do feel so sorry for all the people who have been flooded out.
Yeah, very sad for those further down on the Severn.
Love the dance of the swans
Love swans! 💜
Wow. Seen Stratford flooded but never as bad as that. Loved the before and after shots. V v clever. The dancing love swans were brilliant.
As always we lost ourselves in your world. Got annoyed when someone called during it!!!
Happy Cruising. C&Lx
Haha! Tell them to bugger off! 😂
Thanks guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love Dillion's sideways run. ♥️ You three are awesome and loved from my house in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.
Thank you so much, Rebecca! 💜
What a great record of the floods during the winter 2020.
Cheers! Glad you appreciated it 👍🏻
Giggles! You guys are funny. Just love your neck of the woods. Happy boating.
Thanks so much!
Colin you always have such fascinating uncommon bits of history. Dont stop.
Thanks, Carol 👍
Love the new puppy Otis. The last two of our four dogs have been rescue dogs and we got them as puppies. Millie was about a year old and Abby was 10 weeks old when we got her. She is now 8 years old. They do become part of the family very quickly.
Nice capture of the swans doing a heart and I loved the water tap. . .surrounded by water. Drone coverage was great also. Doing the before and after showed just how it affected the area
Thank you. Yeah, I got a bit geeky with the before and after shots 😂 xx
You two are very hilarious AND interesting! I loved all the swans in the waters of Stratford! Incredible that the swan couple came to the boat's window to say hello and get a bit of food! Dillon is so cute! Lovely, wonderful dog! KUDOS to you both!
Thanks so much!
That Dillon is one well-loved happy dog. His whole back end wags!
It never stops, Joe 😂👍🏻
You two never fail to put a smile on my face, love the enthusiam for everything.
Thanks! 👍🏻
Great videography & editing, as always. Particularly loved the drone shots of the floods around Stratford. Onwards and upwards (through the 1,980 Wilmcote Locks). Great stuff, as always, guys, and keep the madness going!
Ah, thanks, Barney! We did them the other day. Up to 16,320 now! 😱😛
The swan peering over the sill wondering where breakfast was, was perfect ... a good idea to get to higher ground ... love Dillon's happy face, and tail. :)
That tail never stops wagging.
Neither does Dillon's 😂👏
Beautiful! The mooring up bit is always a plus and nice rope winding. You keep everything so neat and shipshape! I look forward to your vlogs every week!
Thanks, Lois! 💜
Ye gods the flooding doth looketh incredible. Forsooth, quite magnificent dronery and ‘out damned spot out’, and so on. Beam me up Shaun. Top vlog, thank you, and yes, keep away from other boaters, especially boat-tubers (well except the other two that I quite like). 😂
I'd like to think you took forever to write that comment. Brilliant!
Oh, and what OTHER boat tubers...? There aren't any 😂
Water water everywhere 😲 well done guys, love the swans ❤️ Trev n Sue
The swans were ace! 🦢
Such an intriguing way of describing things! Don't change. Thanks a gain.
My pleasure!
It was lovely to see Dillon again God bless I'm.
We miss him every day x
The only time I’ve visited your handsome and lovely land was in 2014. The day I arrived the weather had changed from short sleeves and shorts to windy/cold/rain. BUT I must tell you that flying over the whole of England from west to east, I was absolutely astonished at the number of canals, rivers, streams, rivulets - good Gawd just water everywhere! The beauty from the air is ab fab. I visited Stratford Upon Avon - went to the National Theatre there - got a ticket at the last minute and saw David Tennant in Richard III... couldn’t believe my luck. I’d taught English Lit. for a number of years when first out of university. It was just a thrill to see the Bard performed by the likes of David. His power and vocal delivery just filled the auditorium.
I bet that was amazing to see!
Another great vlog guys! Shaun don’t ever stop laughing, you really brighten the world with that. Wonderful drone and music selections Colin.
His laugh is so contagious 😂💜
Great drone footage, just shows how bad the flooding has been, Thanks for the VLOG
Thanks, Tony!
Hi Colin and Shaun love your vlogs thank you
Thanks, Alan!
Colin, my wife thinks you are completely barking mad, but like me, she loves your vids. Keep it up (the video's). LOL.
Thanks 👍 (I am barking mad) 😂
Gadzooks! Odd bodkins, even! Water everywhere. You two do have such adventures. Another spectacular video. Thank you so much. You enthusiasm is contagious.
Thank you so much! Have a lovely weekend! 👍🏻x
Another spectacular work of art, right down to the choice of music! Collin you are truly gifted👍🏻 I cannot imagine how much work you must put into each video, but please don’t ever stop. Your vlogs lift my spirit, always.
Thank you so much 😀
The footage of the flooding was fascinating and I loved the swan visitor at your window. 😊
You look like a proper news presenter, amazing footage of the floods, especially the before and after shots, we went to Bridgenorth to see the floods, quite incredible, stay well xx
Wow, thank you!
Your videos are amazing. Incredibly well produced and edited. Better than many professional ones. You get the balance just right between them being fun and informative and most importantly entertaining. The Ant n Dec of narrowboats.
Haha, Ant & Dec 😂
So . . . I'm left wondering . . . do you two have even the slightest clue, how much joy you bring into the world?
I still don't realistically imagine anyone watching, never mind being happy 😊
I loved this video going to Stratford on Avon. The flooding photos with the drone were amazing. The swans were beautiful and that cheeky one poking his head in your window for food. How special was
that !!! I really enjoy all the little history bits. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Glad you enjoyed it
Stunning guys! Absolutely stunning! Better than anything on TV.👍
Thanks so much 😊
Looks so cozy on the boat in the storm. Love the countryside scenery and how you capture it.
Thank you very much!
Wonderful, I particularly liked the before and after shots of the flooding. Love the humour and the gentle vibes. If you gentlemen ever make it to Aberdeen you are welcome to dinner 🤗
Thanks so much, Heather! x
I have just started watching your videos. They are brilliant. You both are so lovely and make me laugh. I love the swans they were so sweet. I find all the fact you share so interesting. Take care stay safe.
Thanks so much
this is National Geographic worthy, thanks
Thank you!
Great vlog as usual and it was a nice thing to do to give the homeless chap the pastry and short bread because what you put out in life comes back to you good for good bad for bad he must have had a rough time of it during the storms so hope he's ok .
Safe cruising lads .
He was fine. We saw him on the way down to Stratford a couple of weeks earlier. Quite a well-known character 💜
Great vlog as always boys. Id like to bottle Seans laugh. Always cracks me up. Take care of yourselves. Xx
It's so contagious 😂 xx
Wow those are some skinny locks like threading a eye of a needle awesome handling
Sure is
You 2 are just so much fun to watch!!♡♡
Thanks, Ann! 👍🏻💜
I'm from Indiana in the US and I'm so jealous. I'm in love with narrowboats and the canals. So beautiful. Love your channel
Thank you so much! You're more than welcome to continue sharing our adventures each week 💜
Lads thanks so much for this video. Stratford is my home town and I miss her, I have been living in Kentucky since 1996. I get home rarely, I wish I had been there and could have shown you the real town. Stratford people keep themselves a bit apart because of so many tourists. you need to know the local pubs and the local characters. Theirs many of both in town. Thanks especial for the drone footage of the church and seven meadows. Loxley road, the rec, Boat club and more. I have a thousand memories from every street corner, patch of grass, stretch of cut, bend in the river, and even more from most of the pubs. Thanks for showing Stratford with respect. She is way more than a tourist trap. keep on being you. oh yes,, more Dog in the vids please. I like Dogs.
Thanks, Antony! Glad we brought back some memories and that you enjoyed the footage. Everyone wants more Dillon 😂
@@FoxesAfloat Then you should give the people what they want, more Dillon lol. But seriously been watched you vids, and love them. your live chat was hilarious. wish I had known you were in Strat, I would of asked one of my friends to show you around. Enjoy the next adventure.
You guys are so entertaining. I am clicking around and hitting early ones and others. Love your music too.
Aww, thank you! You know, we have a playlist with all the episodes in order. bit.ly/2RZOA12
😳😳😳 wow I hate floods. I was a victim of a horrific flood in my city Calgary Alberta Canada in 2013....mother nature demands respect! nice job on video as usual. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Gwen. Must have been scary! 😬
Fantastic video you pair, and thank you so much for the shout out, it means the world to us both ❤️
Anytime. It's been an amazing three weeks with you guys 💜💜💜
Thank you both, take care, love the swans, the banter and the scenery!! Take care
Aww, thank you! 💜👍🏻💜
I am an American Army Brat, had 2 Photos of the Statue in Stratford on Avon of my dad, mom and I taken in 1955 or 1956, I finally got to see it in color. Just found this and subscribed today and love it.
Aww, that's ace. Thank you!
Colin & Shaun.... Find myself rewatching several of your vlogs. No particular order. Remember seeing this one before, but still find it interesting, watching the flood waters rise in the basin. Beautiful scenery as you leave Stratford, getting out into the country and the multitude of locks you had to navigate. Always enjoy Colin's commentary as you motor along.
My Foxes Afloat hoodie arrived today. Will enjoy its warmth on cold nights (if any more of those come along this winter here in SoCal); or on chilly foggy mornings, etc.
Cheers
Nice one, thanks! I hope you like the hoodie? 👍🏻
I'm really glad you two are A OK after those two storms that youn went through. God bless
Dennis from Delaware U.S.A
Ah, the REAL Dennis! 😂 Thanks mate 👍🏻💜
Wow at the swans doing their love dance 💗💗💗 you know swans represent love 💕
Yeah, Love swans! 🦢
Another great vlog....................the before and after shot's in Stratford were brill................................
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful photography
Wow. Water water everywhere. Great music with this episode too. Love hearing Shaun laugh.
Hehe! It's contagious! 😂
We do enjoy the madness! Take care and thanks for the great video from D & R. Cheers from Canada.
Thanks, Roger! Have a lovely weekend 💜
The swans @ 2:40 made me think of a couple doing the flamenco.
Hehe! Yeah.
If my day is a bit down, I just have 2 watch one of your vlogs and woopsy, my moood is soooo much better!! :-D
Love that!
Ooh I'm so glad that you are all safe and well - we were so worried about you in the storms sending regards👏❤️😁xxx
Ah, we're fine 😂
Colin, you're losing it ...... hehe. Great stuff guys. Total entertainment.
I lost it a lonnnnnnnnnng time ago, Trevor 😂
I have a smile on my face just watching the two of you, thank you.☮️🇨🇦
Aww, thank you! xxxxxxxxx

Thanks so much, Zoe 👍🏻
Me and R lass love your vlogs.
Absolutely brilliant.👍👍
Awww, ta guys! Have a lovely weekend! 👍🏻
I thank you for your magic. You brighten up my morning with such an abundance of humour. I was in Stratford back in 1972 to see Hamlet on stage. I was doing my A levels at Blackpool Collegiate Grammer School. You guys keep jogging my memory. I passed all my exams GCE O's and A levels. I still love books even today. Stratford on Avon with you guys and Silver Fox make me a Happy little camper! Have a great journey! 💘 from Arizona 🇺🇸.
Love you guys, listening whilst working.
You guys are hilarious! Love your channel!
Aww, thank you so much, Jo! Have a lovely weekend! 👍🏻x
@@FoxesAfloat You too! Wanna be in a movie about stealing my own narrowboat oine day? lol!
Brilliant vlog again well you made it too Stratford amazing drone footage of the floods wow and the Wilmcote flight too just brilliant. We went too by boat too Stratford it’s was amazing 😉 there too thanks again xx
Cheers, Philip! Yeah, it's a lovely place. Maybe not so in the middle of summer.
Brilliant as ever guys, don't think I would have slept much in Stratford with the floods, Cheers H
Yeah, it was a bit hairy that night 😬
Narrowboat and Drone has to be the best combination out there... but am pretty sure that you two would make any combination a great combination... :)
Awww thank you ❤️
Love the drone footage of the canal flooding, looks very surreal and I bet it was soo nerve racking to be in ur narrowboat when the water was rising and flooding the area. Also you and Shaun are giving more places i want to visit every time I watch ur vlogs. Thanks again 😊
It was pretty scary for a while!
That was the most amazing video what brilliant scenes, the flooding images were stunning.
Thank you! 👍🏻
Absolutely great vlog. Stunning work. Goes without saying at this stage. Never mind the shite-hawks who thumbed down. Their thumbs have probably spent the last week up their own tail pipes!! You have an ever increasing and loyal fan base which will, no doubt, continue to grow. Hope the running is going well for you Colin. Thanks for your efforts chaps.
AH, thank you, Alan.
We never look at the likes/dislikes because about 90% of the dislikes are the same people every week. It all counts as engagement with the channel and boosts our status, so all good 😉
Yeah, the running is going well. On track so far with no injuries (fingers crossed it stays that way) xx
