No water at the Nob end canal locks 

😂

I thought he was doing a video of Boris Johnson from the title.

Hope you enjoy Cassandra 👍

Thanks John

Sounds good to me

My new greatest fear is walking over one which hasn't been fenced off...

@@JackFowlesJF There is nothing sure, but not walking in circular "dips" in otherwise level ground is a good move!

Researching my family tree I found that a relation died falling down a disused pit in 1842 (just a kid, he'd been running backwards trying to fly a kite). The paper said two other people had fallen down the same pit and been killed, so the owner was thinking about maybe capping the shaft.

Surely, a little bit of a fence and a sign that says "danger of owwy slow painful doom. Please don't" would work better at a fraction of the effort and expense?

Thank you, hope you get to visit

Let me know when you’re over! I’ll buy you a pint in my local, The Horseshoe, which is in Prestolee/Ringley.

Fab name

and across the road where they have taken the aqueduct away.. in the woods.. amazing amount of stuff in there. . that huge embankment and all the way to the small bridge in Darcy Lever and the site of the removed aqueduct at Lever Bridge. I lived over that end and used to walk up the canal route often

The top basin along with the locks was cleaned up several years ago now there's no barges in that one!

Thank you

I agree with you, who is the cameraman?

@@robertfletcher3421 And why did he think that walking really slowly and obviously would somehow make him invisible???🤣

The US had several canals in the Northeast but because that's very hilly ground the favorable grade of the abandoned canals was often used for roads. as an example a portion of US RT 6 in the extreme northeast of Pennsylvania runs on the old Delaware and Hudson Canal which occupied a narrow bit of level ground between hills and the Lackawaxen River.

@@DanielleWhite several... not a lot, like I said. So thanks. We had absolutely nothing like these English canals.

Cheers Joe

Some would call him thrifty. I call him a tight bastard

Oh yeah hes a toy freak isnt he

@@MartinZero He Built a Mecano lifting bridge.

The MBB Canal society are trying to sort it John

@@MartinZero I'll have a look at their website...

Cheers Nick

Sorry to read that. Hope you are feeling better very soon.

Hi Neil. Hope you well soon all the best from Martin & James

Yeah it was a very new thing for them

@@MartinZero did they call them packet boats because they packed the passengers in! 😂

Thanks Louise, we will have to pop down for a brew

I bet she did 😉

Fnarr fnarr.

Nah I constantly balls up. I used to do em alone but I like to bounce off James. Keep it up

Yeah despite my crap drone skills we got some nice shots

Why Plastic on it ?

I found Enfield Plastic Accrington, seems to be an advertising move for thier bricks, usual Victorian over estimation of the product. Nice to see, also I notice the red brick is only a two tier soldier course on the face, not all the way through the arch, no idea why, but a great video, throughly enjoyed it.

I notice you and adventure me walk over bricks, names on them of the makers are an amazing insight in that where did they come from, I'm in West Wales, a stroll around and a look in yards, skips, and when out houses are being demolished will reveal a trove of foreign bricks, here we have domestic buildings and a major railway station made with bricks from all over the place, some by sailing ship from North Wales, some by rail from there and England when the railway came here, so basically each brick has a history, why is it there is the big question, I've over 250 named bricks each with a history, so the next time you trip over one, wonder where it came from, it will add to your story.

Thanks Ruth 😀

Yeah, I couldnt talk right that day 😯

Labour was cheap, and labourors plentiful, though!

Hi Martin, back from holiday in Yorkshire, I'll be looking at bees once a week from now until September it is all weather and temperature dependant. Above 12 degrees, not a lot of wind, I will DM you on Instagram, I'm not expecting you to drop everything and come over. You can tell me if you are free. I have two bee smocks just arrived today, I can put my hands on another as well.
