A Haunted Canal! Carnforth to the end of the Lancaster Canal by Narrowboat - Ep. 53
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 มิ.ย. 2019
- Is this the most haunted canal? We head from Carnforth to the end of the Lancaster as our canal boat diaries continue by narrowboat.
We travel from Hest Bank by Morecambe Bay, through Bolton-Le-Sands, into Carnforth. After our plans for overnight mooring were thwarted we carry on to Capenwray and stop off at the very creepy Capenwray Arm before we arrive at the end of the navigable Lancaster Canal at Tewitfield.
Is it the most haunted or are we just soft lads?

Came here for the peace and tranquilty your vids give me. But stayed for the bravery and honesty regarding your mental health.
Episode 9 was a game changer for me. Finally someone has put into words how I feel on a daily basis. I've been able to show my partner your vlog and say "this is how I feel, this is what my brain does when things get too much, when I get too many inputs"
But not only that but your insight has given me insight, what I need, what I should do to start trucking through life.
So thank you so much!
Aww, thanks Richard! I'm really glad a lot of people took a positive from it. x
How amazing it must feel to not know it’s the dreaded Monday
Ha ha! All days are the same, it's ace! x
Question guys that this video made me think about - maybe for your next Q and A? What are your thoughts on the amount of narrow boats on the system - are there too many? Or only in some places? With what looks like quite a few companies making decent amounts of new boats, where’s the tipping point before you can’t get around the system any more without struggling all the time? As always, love your work - Gav.
Great question. The number of boats is rising, but only very gradually.
A lovely ride for an old widow stuck in her home. Thankyou, love you xxx
No problem. I'm glad you enjoyed it. xxxx
Horrah! Enjoyed that so much that I may also be the first to see it twice. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks! x
The music was fantastic! It set the feeling for the cruising. Thanks for the ride-a-long, such beautiful scenery. Have fun!
Thanks Cadence! x
I love your choice of music for the vids......just the right volume too.
Thanks 👍
@@FoxesAfloat I agree about the volume of music,its just right.So many vlogs have really loud music,and if you listen with ear buds in like I do its deafening.
Here we are in mid March/2021 & this is my Go To AWAY from the pain/fear/anxiety ETC of the Here-&-Now... To beauty, positivity and CALMNESS of YOU GUYSES (ya, im calling that a Word)...
Thank you
✨✌💞
Hehe, thanks, Sarah!
@@FoxesAfloat 😁💞✌
Just found this channel,and I couldn’t agree more 😃
I'm one of your Southern USA followers and I just love your videos. So much fun and laughter!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Ray! 👍🏻
Me too... Im enjoying these SO MUCH from my sickbed in southern Arizona.
🚤 ✌✨😎💞
You could smell spookiness haha! Stunning cinematography as always 💚💜
Thanks for allowing me to join you on your travel. Beautiful scenery and two lovely people x
Thank you, Julia 💜
I didn't know anything at all about the canal system in England until finding this channel. Being aboard a narrowboat seems like an idyllic life to choose. Hopefully the plans to maintain and upgrade the canals continues to go forward so that there is room for all who choose it.
We hope so too! x
I don’t know how I got onto your channel guys, but I find myself binging on it. Sadly I’m catching up to all the episodes. Love the content especially the episodes on silver foxes construction.
Awesome! Thank you!
I think those were ghost farts you guy's were smelling. They smell like someone died. Another great video as usual. I enjoy it more as a show with witty intellect and fabulous photography. It amasses me just how beautiful it is around the canals. Thanks guys
Aww, Dean! I equally look forward to your comments each week too! Thanks for noticing the effort we put in to each episode. xx
Binge watching the series, love it. Talking of creepy theres a section on the Grand Union near me which has 2 trees just full of Crows, and they're proper loud when you approach. Just cawing at each other. Feels like something out of a horror film.
Thanks for sharing another great adventure on Silver Fox, a beautiful part of the north west of England. You guys seem to be having a great time there and Dillon looks like he's having fun also. All the best Stevie
Cheers Stevie! We're enjoying it :)
The haunted bit is right near my parents house LOL
eek! 😬
I am watching every vlog 😅 you two are so so inspiring! I love your jolly energy and your honesty! Xx
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic photography guys, beautiful countryside. Love the commentary and, the zany humour . Your mooring spot is very close to the noisey motorway. ❤️👍👏👏👏
Hey Terry 👋
Yeah, the M6 was really noisy but still a nice spot. x
Top job on the effects for the Capernwray Arm section! I worked as a ranger on the canal a few years back and that was one of my favourite bits of it - proper backwoods feel to the place. I live not fifty yards from the cut in Carnforth - I'll give you a wave if I see you, but might draw the line at following you along the towpath and stopping every time you look round...:-)
Ha ha! This is my favourite comment so far! 🏆
4,500 views on the day of publication. Well done guys. The quality of your work is fantastic. And all done to such tight timescales.
It's mind-blowing how we get so many views. Totally mind blowing! 🤯
I watch a number of the narrowboat vids but this one had great scenery, great set up, music and editing. The only one I have ever watched twice. Good on ya.
We’re honoured! Thanks, Duncan 👍🏻
Love your videos. I watch a lot of longboat vlogs, mainly because I would love living on a longboat. However being in the U S no such thing exists here. Your photography is beautiful. Your focus on all the scenery just makes me watch your vlogs over and over. Keep up the good work, it soothes me. Thanks
Thank you so much! I hope you manage to visit one day 👍🏻
When this was filmed I lived in a house backing onto the canal at Bolton-le-Sands and used to work to walk from one end of the village to the other on the canal path. The woman you thought was stalking you is in fact a man (not me!) who always used to say hello. Brilliant series of videos - thank you
🤣
Hi guys 😀 love a haunted canal not sure I've ever seen one. Still super beautiful lol. Great video today thanks for sharing 😎👍
Thank you so much! Spooky or not it really was nice :) x
We used to go there for our holidays. Fifty years ago. I still remember the bay, red squirrels, and sinking sands.
Yeah! Sinking sands! Not seen any red squirrels though. x
Great advice! x
I think your pulling my leg, i can't believe you guys made that video yourselves. Truly your best one yet, the editing and just everything flows very well, nice one.
Thanks Sam! x (I really do make them) 😂
Lovely to see you both looking so well, beautiful camera work as usual and what stunning views. Can't wait for the next installment.
Thanks! x
Love These Vlogs keep em coming
Thanks Anthony! They'll keep coming. We hope you carry on loving them! x
Your one of the only vlogs I watch twice , Friday at work and then Saturday with my morning coffee , thank you guys ☕️...........
Awww, cheers! 🤗
“Nice and wide and open” 😂 I’m afraid I snorted at the same time as Shaun! My childish mind haha. Really enjoying your videos! Hoping they’ll persuade my other half we should also live the narrowboat life (a girl can dream).
Keep nagging x!
Just love your videos, you make us laugh and now we Aussies want to buy a narrowboat 😀
Thank you Natalie! Have you ever tried one before? x
Good jobs boys can't wait til next Friday.xx
Thank you! x
And ALWAYS the right (good) music on the right moments. Awesome!
Thank you so much, Anneke! 👍🏻
Well worth the wait boys , thank you you’re my Friday joy 😂😂😂😂
Awww, thanks, Philip!
We will have to meet up one day hope so soon 👍
Ahh SF looks so majestic going down the canal and I have to say that your camera work is getting better and better each week. I just love you guys and a big congratulations on your 10K subscription thank you for posting.
Awww thank you Marian! Glad you’re one of our 10k 😍
You guys are great and so is Dillon, keep up the great videos...Dan From Ottawa Canada
Thanks! Will do!
My parents retired to Slyne, next door to Hest Bank very near the house with direct access to the canal. I've spent many happy hours walking and cycling alongside the Lancaster Canal. There is a fantastic 2nd hand book shop in Carnforth and it was the home of the Flying Scotsman (Steam Town) for many years. I believe that the Lancaster is the longest stretch of canal in the UK without any locks? It's a pity that they lost the section into Kendal when the M6 was built. Thank you for the video it brings back many happy memories.
Yeah, we cover that in next week’s vlog. You’re right about it being a long way without locks!
I'm a new subscriber. I spent the last few days binge watching your channel in my free time to catch up. I've got to say thank you for sharing this journey with us. I'm out here in the US in California and we don't have anything like the canal network out here. Also OMG you two are the cutest couple! Again thanks for the videos!
Thanks, and WELCOME! 👋 Sending love to California! x
Top quality, very relaxing viewing. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
"If you go down to the woods today, you're sure to get a . . . . . . . . . . .👻👻 😄😄
Another excellent episode of your experiences. Thankyou.
Ha ha! Spoooooooookeeeey! x
Since im a recent subscriber to your channel, just going through some of the older videos, absolutely stunning scenery and camera work.
Awww, cheers. That's very kind of you to say. Oh, and WELCOME! 👋
“I can smell spookiness “ 👻 Quote of the week 👍😀 Vlog of the week 👍😀
But it did smell spooky 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A friend of mine who live an a canal boat, carries a strimmer and a sickle for those overgrown areas so the can moor up in rural locations.
Great idea! xx
The photography is great. Very entertaining and enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Aww, thanks Stan! 👍🏻
Lovely to see the area where I grew up from the waterways 🥰
Some of your scenery reminded me of six weeks spent at Capernwray Bible School... many years ago! Keep up the Fun!
Thanks Bob!
We stopped in the Capenwray back in the early eighties when we were teenagers. Only boat there for days. Looks a lot busier these days! Moorings have always been an issue. That's why the Northern reaches needs to open. The canal is just too busy for such a "short" canal.
Opening the Northern Reaches would be amazing - Kendal then onto Windermere!. But would it just attract more traffic? Making the approaches even busier?
It is quite busy at the moorings. Wouldn't be so bad if the dredged some of the suitable spots to allow more mooring spaces. Would be even better to reopen the whole 14 miles of the north! x
I think it would be easily managed because it can still only be accessed by the Ribble, hence you get a steady flow back and forth. x
Thanks guys enjoyed the video. Perfect chill out along with my pipe and coffee in the man cave outside.
Cheers Myles!
Outstanding part of the country and what a way to see it.I have been to Carnforth a couple of times I'am a bit of a steam train fan.Vulcan bomber thats one fine aircraft pitty XH558 is no longer flying I saw my first Vulcan B Mk1 XH498 (Dambusters) 617 Sqn as a young kid almost crash at Wellington Airport New Zealand Oct 1959 it undershot runway 34 and damaged the lefthand landing gear and wing tip, the Captain gave it full power and it managed to climb away with fuel leaking from the wing it flew to RNZAF base Ohakea for a safe landing it was repaired and returned to the UK Jan 1960 and remained in service til 1967.Awesome video boys.
When you were young you would never admit it to anyone god the shame! well stuff you lads I am bloody green with envy! lol
He he, Aww thanks Kev! x
Hello from New York.
The scenery is serene and tranquil and the music is so very peaceful and relaxing. This is so calming.
I love your energy.
I am a new subscriber.
I can't wait to see where you'll take us next.😎
Peace and love.
Hey! Welcome! Thanks for subscribing 👍🏻
Examples of the best of humanity, Shaun and Colin☮️🇨🇦❤️
Aww, thanks! x
Loved the closing shot with the boat gliding silently past the various logos and links, wrapping perfectly with the music. It felt very retro / stylish. Nice work.
Thanks, Aaron! Glad you appreciated the work that goes into it 👍🏻
Another fantastic vlog. Hest Bank, I love the way the houses back onto the canal. 😊😊
They are lovely! x
Great vlog as per usual, love the out takes!
Thank you! x
I'd have been in those woods, along the Capenwray Arm, making a campfire and putting up a hammock. But you two - two grown men - wouldn't stay, because it was 'spooky'!?
It wasn't 'nice, wide and open', which you seem to prefer - behave, Shaun! - but, it was really lovely.
Each to their own. I had a good giggle at this one, you total wusses! ;) x
Five simple words.
I DON'T WANT TO DIE! 👻 👻 👻 💀
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Just visited the Lune viaduct and walked along the canal to Hest Bank with my good lady last Saturday 22nd June after watching your trip. It was a nice walk and your right the properties at Hest bank along the canal are very nice and excellent views!! Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Another great video 😀 so glad you’ve had the best of the weather . It makes all the difference. Very clever ‘spooky’ shots you even had me thinking the same! J
Hey Graham! 👋
Yeah, it's about time we had some sunshine! Absolutely glorious now.
xx
Thanks for sharing lovely Colin and Shaun , nice scenery on the canal and the creepy camera effect lol x
Thanks Dorothy! 👻 😂
if you are picky then so am I cos I dont want neighbours either. I love peace and quiet and trees. and water and ducks. perfect!!
Every time 👍🏻
I just love watching your vlogs. Take care you two. Great choice of music by the way.
Thanks James! 👍🏻
Stunning videography and photography. You’re really good at this, my hat is off to you. And the editing and effects (like the scary/spooky bit!) are superb. So glad to have found you and so enjoying watching the vlogs and following along! Thank you. Hollers.
Cheers, Hollers. You're really catching up now!
Thanks for another brilliant vlog. Imagine living in those posh houses in Bolton le Sands! Loved the bit you did with the creepy music! So clever. I couldn’t have stayed there. Shudder! Love seeing Dillon checking it all out as you go along the canal. He’s having a lovely time isn’t he
Thanks Sue! I could definitely see me lounging on that sun deck! Ha ha! xx
love this,maybe it's because i'm a Lancashire lad on you're on my patch haha. Such a shame though that the M6 has cut the canal up into pieces... you can actually see old bits including old locks whilst driving along the motorway xx
You can! I had a walk up there. It's really nice except for the M6 noise
Another interesting vlog! I especially liked the music you chose. Excellent guitar section. Thanks for pointing out the beautiful homes and stunning views. I liked the spooky parts too! Thanks!
Thank you, Susan! 👍🏻
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for taking us with you! Dillon is so cute. I love his curly ears 😊 You are both so lovely and funny. I love watching your vlogs x
Awww, we love you too Mandy! Yeah, he's just had his hair cut because it was getting a bit thick and it's getting warm so it makes him more comfortable. x
Love the shots of the pastures...what you see for a view from your deck is why you are on the canals. Few of the you tube channels-that i have watched -show much of those views. Makes me want to be on a narrow boat. Happy travels..
There are some spectacular views, Marjorie. 💜😍
Loved it! A perfect vlog, top marks xx
Thanks Linda! 👍🏻
Can we see some indoor life please and how you are getting on with cooking in a small area. And how did you fair in the recent heavy rain? Your videos are great.
I love your music choices ... this starting song especially.
Thank you! x
Brilliant vlog yet again chaps. Love the spooky vid effects too , very professional
They weren’t effects, Kevin. It was actually like that! 👻 (not) 😂
Putting in a serious complaint to the management, not enough laughter in the outtakes, sort it or you're both fired.
Great video all the same, great photography, take care you two and stay safe.
Fair enough 😂😂😂
Best laugh I've had in a while...at least in the comment section!
The boys are being stalked, oh no , get her to open the gate for you
Ha ha! I don't know what attracts them? 😂
Lmao!!! Right??
I really loved the beautiful views and lovely houses. I also laughed at the “scary segment”.
The music was very good as well. Especially the song at the beginning.
Chucklebunny.
Ha ha! Chuckle Bunny 🐰 😂
Great stuff. You are living the dream. Fabulous video work and I love the music.
That’s really kind of you! Thank you 😊
Loved the vlog ! Great choice of music throughout, great editing ... they keep getting better. Silver Fox looks absolutely brill !
Cheers !
Thanks Thomas! x
Hey fellas thanks for another great video. Amazing scenery! Hope you are both well!
We are! Thanks James x
This is a little bit spooky. Many years ago I visited Sizergh Castle at Kendal. A beautiful castle ( Royalist) but Oliver Cromwell and his modern army had taken over the dungeons and basement and spied on the royalists through spy holes in the partitioned panelled walls. They even had a tapestry with the roundheads eating roasted meat in the lower kitchen. They were secretive. Another stately home near Carnforth was named Ellis. Now abandoned and fully intact. Supposed to be Catherine Parr's home but she died before it was actually built. I researched battle sites for a hobby. One such battle was Gettysburg. According to American history books Major Cromwell and Colonel Ellis both Union Soldiers were killed at Devils Den. Ellis was apparently involved in Ellis Island. Shipping immigrants to the USA by ship. ( slave trade?) ( In my fathers house are many mansions!!!) Now the history is being altered on the internet to cover up past history. Amazing what was really going on at Carnforth and Glasson. Spooky barely scratches the surface. 💘 and best wishes from Arizona 🇺🇸.
I kept expecting the ghost of Derek Acora to loom out of the bushes at Capenwray! lol
😂😂😂😂
I like the outtakes! Your music is cool, too.
Thank you Patricia xx
Only you guys could have a tasteful throw blanket adorning the back of your boat 😁
(2:50)
Ha ha! It's our sofa cover. We washed it and dried it by hanging on the stern 😂 x
Well done lads again.. good to see your both well and smiling again... looks lovely where you are. X
Thanks Ray. It is lovely up here! x
You guys are awesome! Love watching you living your lives and doing your best! Best Wishers!!!
Thanks so much!!
Madly jealous just love this canal! Happy cruising guys looking forward to the next adventure.
Thanks Maureen! x
Excellent vid guys.. the shots over the bay are stunning. I walk the dogs up to Carnforth I always get an eerie feeling going through the wooded section so you’re not alone. The quarry use to supply the limestone which gave the name the Black and white canal it’s now a caravan site with a cafe with excellent home made cakes! Enjoy the rest of your time on the Lanky.
Cheers Keith. At least it's not just me then 😂 👻 x
Great video, beautiful scenery, better in some ways better than I expected 👍
Oh cool. Low expectations to begin with? 😂
What a beautiful day! I love springer spaniels too, had 3 of them. Your videos are so relaxing, just makes me want to take it easy and enjoy a pretty day.
Exactly how it should be, Andrew! Thanks for noticing 👍🏻
Being from Palm Desert Calif, I love your blog. Great camera work - Thank you!
Thanks Lou! 👍🏻
Another great vid, guys. Fantastic views over Morcambe Bay! And I would love to have one of those canalside houses with their own landing stage - and a boat to go with! Hope you weren't too disturbed by the noise of the M6 at your final mooring.
Motorway noise doesn't bother us too much, it's things like engines, generators, dogs barking that annoy me! (Colin x)
Great vid guys !!!!
👍👍👍
Excellent editing and music
Thanks Richard 👍🏻
Brilliant video and such stunning scenery. Would be a dream come true to live in ine of those houses in Bolton le Sands.
Yeah, it's nice there!
Awesome video! Love the scenery & music, also the " haunted movie" vibe!
Cheers Linda 👍🏻👻
The music is so well chosen! Another brilliant vlog.
Thanks Jeff! 👍🏻
52 and 53 done, thw quality is always on track. keep it up guys.. John ...NZ .. Tatou
Cheers, John! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video and footage love your channel cheers 🇬🇧
Thanks! 👍🏻
Yet another great vlog, you boys were made for each other, such a connection, Silver Fox looked extremely smart, very Carrnforrrrth 😂
Thank you so much! (Carnfuth) 😂
Another great Vlog, and yay! you have got your new sofa. I remember talking to you both about it at Crick. We still haven’t ordered ours from the sofa bed barn yet but it’s on our “boat to do list” somewhere near the top lol😂 x
Ha ha! Get it ordered! 😂 We're loving the longer one. Well, Dillon is! 🙄 xx
Great vlog guys,you always make me smile
Cheers! We aim to please 😂
Watched it twice ... had to! 😀👍 Great vid with some beautiful sites, thanks 🙏 😉
Wow! So cool Thank you! 👍🏻
