This week we start (like many others who venture through Harecastle tunnel) at Westport Lake, a definite must stop, we've actually made a note to go back. It's really a beauty!
We're loving sharing our travels in our floating home - otherwise known as a narrowboat, canal boat, barge and also, essentially just a tiny home that moves..
We took on the tunnel in a touristy fashion, scrambling about the outside and really soaking in the moment - and me (Mel) trying not to think about the claustrophobia I was about to feel inside!
For more history on the tunnel the best to watch would be ‪@FoxesAfloat‬
Here's the link to their video if you're new to narrowboat videos..

Out on the other side, ghost stories and all eeriness left long behind we tackled the locks known as "Heart Break Hill". All I could think about was the snack I'd just bought and was dying to eat! We ended the day after some 23 locks and felt rather accomplished indeed.
It's a fun little diddy this week and we hope you enjoy watching it as much as we loved living it.
See you soon
Mel & Paul

The tunnel was one of the highlights of our holiday.

I saw a brief glimpse of a pastra de nata/Portuguese custard tart from Lidl. Glorious, especially when warmed slightly prior to consumption. Hardcastle takes on a different feeling in Winter when you are the only boat going through. It is a very safe tunnel compared to some others as all passage is monitored. If you broke down in Braunston tunnel in winter it could be days before another boat found you.😱😱😱

Thanks for showing you trip through. This would have been a great 'slow TV' moment, 40 minutes video going through the tunnel... maybe a new edit for next time. ?

The keepers cottage at the tunnel is actually the air vents for the tunnel disguised

Perhaps you’re thinking of the stone building around the actual tunnel? The tunnel keepers house was the white building I pointed to✌🏻

If you think Harecastle is tight, check out Standedge on the Huddersfield Narrow. Longest and highest tunnel on the system, 90-100 minutes to get through and an absolute experience.

So you guys and Annabelle survived the Harecastle tunnel .I would think being # 3 of four boats when you finally emerge it must feel like toothpaste being extruded from the tube ,you seem to have enjoyed it though and then you stocked up at Lildls too as a bonus All in all a very nice blog ,loved it . Please dont take the following as criticism just look on it as my tiny bit to help you improve your vlogs even more .1. during parts of this vlog the sound was very very nuffled and uninteligible particularly in the tunnel ,possibly a poor connection somewhere on the audio side .2. Please slow up your panning a little. That's it hope you dont mind ....another beer on the way as compensation. Happy cruising lots of sunshine and not too hot stay safe . Cheers Ralph XX

Looks like you have enough food to feed an army ! You certainly won’t starve. Good job managing the tunnel. Am I right in thinking that the water is that rusty colour because of the iron in the canal water? Till next time…….Chris x

Hi Chris, yeah, no starving here! I need to get better at judging how much I can carry😂 and yes rust👍🏻✌🏻 thanks so much see you soon!

Older people only use Imperial and boaters tend toward the post middle age.
