So glad you are back cruising; we missed you. Only continue vlogging until it ceases to be fun. We hope that is a good while yet. Have a very Happy Christmas and may all your hopes and dreams for 2024 be fulfilled.

Let me add our warmest wishes to those of many others! Over the past couple of years, my sweetheart and I have watched your travels. I can truly say that we have a lot of fun watching, maybe because you seem to be having fun while cruising. You are among the most pleasant people out there in the RU-vid-verse! Stephanie and Tom

@pamcullen537 6 месяцев назад

The last clip reminded me of taking a boat down Bratch staircase locks on the Staffs & Worc years ago, we were also towing a dingy which filled up from the overflow from the last gate and we just made it out before it sunk, all good fun. Wishing you both a lovely relaxing Xmas and lot’s of good times in the coming year 🦆💕

That must be Fran's nickname, "Calamity Jane"? Ha! ha! ha! It must take nerves of steel to navigate these narrow locks. I just love taking these trips up and down the canals with you, thank you for taking us along. I certainly enjoyed the trip, the raising and lowering of the locks, looked pretty deep too. I wish you a Merry Christmas and I hope you have a Happy New year too! Cheers!

O Boy has this one brought back fond memories. My wife and I along with my cousin and her husband, had our very first canal holiday on this section of the Llangollen canal. We started at Bunbury Locks and spent our first night just about half a mile from the Hurlstone Locks. The Swanley-Bridge Marina didn't exist then. It was great to see Wrenbury basin again. We had a meal in the Cotton arms and the following night at the Willeymoor Lock Tavern before winding just before the staircase locks at Grindeley Brook and heading back to Bunbury Locks. Thanks for a great video again. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Dave M.
