We're in search for the BEST bacon butty in Britain as we take our narrowboat to Braunston on the Junction of the Grand Union Canal and Oxford Canal. Colin uncovers the disused London Section of the Great Central Railway and Braunston's old railways station, finds out why a toll collector had bells on a rope across the canal, and tells the story of the ghost of the Admiral Nelson pub. We cruise through Braunston Tunnel and find out why there are hooks in the roof.
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

Your research is superlative! Yes, Shaun is really trim and looking svelte 😄 Stay safe, and cuddle to that rascal Otis 🐶 xx

I hired a boat called Wenlock from the Union Canal Carriers yard a couple of years ago. In the background at around 13:53 you can see a very small rusty listing boat, which is one of 3 micro tugs which were used by UCC to tow work boats while the Braunston tunnel was being repaired in the early 80s. They were small enough to be able to turn round inside the tunnel. :) The one in the background is called Mouse, the others were called Mole and Frog.

Good Saturday morning from Portland, Oregon! I’ve just finished episode 168. Quality, not faff! That’s because the interesting, humorous, dedicated, and good-looking trio brings it to us! Thank you, in alphabetical order, Colin the Curious, Otis the Omnipotent, and Shaun the Slim. I loved every second of it! See y’all next time. I’m about to enjoy my Saturday with my grand dogs-treats for them-sketching/painting watercolors for me, then spend the night and get a brand new buzz cut haircut tomorrow before they take me home. Plus, Monday is a holiday in America known as Labor Day which means I shall labor at housekeeping and laundry in my apartment, not teleworking. ♥️♥️♥️

As a truck driver in the late 80s l delivered the cement used in the restoration of Braunston tunnel . The pallets of cement were dropped straight into the boats from my truck , the boat would then be taken into the tunnel where the lads would work on the brickwork . I arrived one day to a commotion , one of the boats had sunk right in the middle of the tunnel and the lads had to swim out in freezing cold water . They both had hyperthermia but survived thankfully .

Many moons ago some friends and I hired a boat from Weltonfield Narrowboats by bridge 2 on the Leicester arm. When we took over the boat the day was a bit overcast but dry and pleasant. We were heading north on the GU and the owner accompanied us to Norton Junction to make sure everything was in order. As the hirer (ie, my name was on the paperwork) I had the tiller. We went trough the tunnel and as we approached the top lock one of my friends took over. It was at this precise moment that the skies opened and it rained all the way down the flight. He got wet, I didn't. :-)

21:13 - Right there you passed the site of one of my best and most vivid memories on the canal. In 2002, we were coming up from Milton Keynes way and did the Long Buckby flight with a wonderful couple from MK (this is what I love about the wide canals - meeting people as you go up the locks together). We got along so well with this couple that we agreed to moor and have dinner together. We moored right at this spot and crossed the bridge (Bridge 6) for the half mile walk up the hill to Welton, where we ate at the White Horse Pub. We think about that day and those wonderful people to this day. Thank you for bringing this memory back to mind.

Being from the US I had no idea what a Bacon Butty is... Looked it up on google right away for the recipe and came up with this from a group of researchers at the Department of Food Science at Leeds University. The formula is: N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon. I was like blah, blah, blah but in the end it equals good. Thanks guys, can't go wrong with bacon!

Love how the northern english say there food is gorgeous or beautiful. When I first started speaking Italian they thought I was very strange when I used the exact translation.

Again a fantastic vlog with all the history of the area. I do love the witty back and forth between you both. That said this does make my day. I do think that an endorsement from Colin saying he likes a Marina is huge! (You can't type that). Have you ever thought of putting together a sticker or something to put that says "Colin/Shaun/Otis Approved?"

Man as soon as you did a overhead view of the marina the first thing that popped into my mind was “OMG that could be a narrowboat country club or spa with just a few more amenities…. But now the whimsical side of my mind has an idea….. instead of wasting all the pier space with hot tubs…. How about self propelled hot tubs? Take a 40 ft narrowboat hull and nose to tail put in a bunch of hot tubs into is and have someone in the marina just do a circuit and then a short cruise up and down the canal

Cullen I love all the little tidbits of history that you drop in the videos, when I was quite young 🧑‍🍼some 70+ years ago I had a GREAT GRANDAD 👴 that would tell me a bit of history of his growing up in the English countryside in the late 1800.
