You will see why the Shropshire Union Canal quickly became one of our favourite canals that we have cruised since we starting exploring the UK canal network on our narrowboat. With it's stunning bridges and lush green corridor and beautiful little towns and villages on the way, it's just how we imagined our life to be when we sold up and bought a narrowboat to live on! There was far too much gorgeous footage to cram into one video so check out our other upcoming Shroppie videos! In this episode we cruise from Autherley Junction to Gnosall, stopping at Brewood on the way.
Hello! If you are new here we are Caroline and Pete! In 2021, after 10 years living in Texas, we sold up and moved back home to the UK to live full time aboard a 60ft narrowboat with our West Highland Terriers! Join us in our day to day life as we continuously cruise the canals and rivers of the UK. All of the ups, and the downs and everything in between!

I just love your blogs. The English countryside & weather in every season, the music, your calm approach, even the colour of your beautiful home are all soul food. Thank you so much.

Such a a beautiful comment Deborah. So lovely to hear you are enjoying the vlogs 😊

What gorgeous countryside. I just watched this while having my breakfast. I feel like I’ve been on a holiday. Great way to start the day. Thank you.

All those beautiful bridges. This trip looked so lovely and something you would see out of a movie.

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

It really is such a beautiful canal and we I’m just finishing editing the next section with our most favourite bridge! It’s been lovely reliving this journey. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Beautiful boat and scenery. Loved your crew. Your flower box on top does get in the way of many views. Like to see how you are enjoying life!

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

Thanks so much Rob. Those flower boxes, although pretty, did go a little crazy and far higher than we had anticipated! 😳 🌸

Another brilliant vlog. Great photography and choice of music to complement the scenery. Discovered your channel a few weeks when we walked by your boat at Napton Locks and enjoying watching your playlist.

It’s a great idea isn’t it! We will need to remember for the next time we pass through, and make sure we have lots of laundry! Thanks for watching 😊

@pamcullen537 Год назад

Another funny story. My late other halfwas moored at Wheaton Aston by the lock for a while and decided to see if possible to generate electric from the overflow, needless to say the Waterways ( not CRT in those days) told him in no uncertain terms not to do it lol. Also in the same lock some American tourists were stuck because they had put all 4 paddles up so weren’t going anywhere, Paul offered his assistance to do the lock and many photos were taken as he jumped across the beams as he was wearing a kilt at the time ! 😂😂

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

That made us laugh! The image of a guy in a kilt jumping the locks! Entertaining for those tourists! Thanks for watching 😊

@Acapulc941 Год назад

Even more than usual, cruising with you guys seems like gently wafting through beautiful paintings of the countryside. Well done, you two. Selfishly, I am so glad you opted for this life. Hugs to you both and to Poppy and Hamish. Leigh

This is so lovely to hear Leigh. I’ve loved editing these videos on the Shroppie and finding just the right music. Glad you are enjoying them 😊

Lovely. Your vlog has opened my eyes to the beauty seen from the canals. No wonder they are so popular.

Beautiful!!! I can’t think of anything else to say Caroline. I think I can guess your favourite bridge for next weeks vlog but I’ll keep it to myself. xx

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

Thank you Phil! I was excited editing the favourite bridge footage and finding the most perfect piece of music ❤️

@1258-Eckhart Год назад

The Shropshire's civil engineer certainly made a fine job of all the bridges - mostly built in stone and none with settlement cracks.

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

They really did! The bridges are just stunning and really have withstood the test of time. Loads more beautiful bridges coming up in the next video on the Shroppie. Thanks for watching 😊

@scotthanson4449 10 месяцев назад

I noticed the craftsmanship also on the bridges. I can't imagine having that level of skill. Those bridges are 150 plus years old and not a crack to be seen. Awesome.

Beautiful scenery. You should think about publishing a book of your photographs. 📷

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

Maybe one day! That’s a lovely idea and means so much 😊

@alikay57 Год назад

Such lovely homes in Brewood, I love all the bridges. Your videos are always so calming and your choice in music is so fitting for the scenery as it passes by. At the start, when you show on the map which way you are traveling, it's a very nice touch. I'm always curious to see when I view others and gather the maps online, no need when you do it for me. Your skills with the drone are awesome. Safe travels till next week..take care.

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

That’s so lovely to hear. Choosing the music is one of my favourite parts of the editing process. It can change the mood so much! Glad you are enjoying the videos. Lots more beautiful bridges to come in the next video 😊

@jacquelineryde7339 Год назад

Given. as I understand, that local pubs are disappearing at an alarming rate in the UK, I'm pleased to see you are doing your bit to ensure their survival

Lovely video as always! And you went past us, it was before we knew you, but you could see the back of our boat as you were approaching, we were moored on the right, just before the Jamaican colours boat! Speak soon, miss you guys xx 😘

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

Miss you too!! Just rewatched that section and you can just about hear Pete saying ‘Rhapsody, I think we’ve seen that boat before’! Little did we know then that we would be boat besties 😊

Brewood and Gnosall both excellent places on this canal I feel so lucky it's "home". Back down that end of the canal in 11 days too 🎉 Loved seeing it, music makes it just right

@PatriciaBoynton-r3y Месяц назад

I live in the Fort Worth TX area. I’ve heard you refer to living in Texas and see your Texas magnets on your boat, where did you live in Texas? Also, I notice when you pass a boat on the canal you pass on the right while on the motorway you pass on the left. Why the difference? Enjoy your videos.

@onedaymoreaboard Месяц назад

We were in Friendswood and League City on the south side of Houston for 11 years before we moved back home to the UK! We loved Fort Worth when we did a campus tour of TCU when Alex was doing college auditions. The inland waterways of the UK abide by marine law which dictates that you pass on the right, even though we drive on the left on the roads! We are so mixed up 😂. Thanks for watching 😊

@gordonduff5895 Год назад

Where did you purchase your boat and did you have to take lessons in driving it…….. great video

@onedaymoreaboard Год назад

Thanks so much Gordon! We purchased our boat from Russell Narrowboats in Burton Upon Trent. Fantastic group of guys to work with. They truly brought our ideas to life! We did the 2 day RYA Helmsman course at the Narrowboat Skills Centre at Debdale Wharf a week before we launched, not required but highly recommended. It gave us a lot more confidence with our own boat. Here’s a short video I made of what was covered on the course ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dOlNleVafzQ.html
