Coventry is a shithole city

I walked to the then end of the Ashby canal in 1999. Using Google Earth, it looks as though the end has moved about 1.2kms further north.

To walk into the past and see the glory that was, now become discarded, returned to Nature much changed and markers, never needed before, tell us what we have lost. To walk pathways trodden by common giants and see only a tiny bit of what they saw and understand none of it, because it is far before our today, because they have been buried by Time and all their labors becoming today. To live an easier life and a longer life and a life with time like spare change in our pockets, so we can be entertained by what was deadly serious to those common giants, so long ago. We owe them. We owe them thanks and respect and remembrance for building the world we "improved" on the bones of their improvements and the sweat of their brows and the pain in their backs, and the brilliance of their minds.

Now on a 2023 model. Software is 1941. Hardware H58. Panel S/W 3080.

Should be 1940 by now, over the air delivery.

I did the same thing.😂. Turn cruise control off the see your mileage counter

I now have a 2023 Golf PlugIn Hybrid. The time and date settings page no longer has the Summer (DST) switch and it changes automatically.

Many thanks. Spent ages looking for the time settings 🙏🏻

Look like a lot of water, that can be harness to produce power. :)

Whats the point of the path and cycle lane ? Theres no public footpath over the Wem brook end of the lane you still have to cross over the road bridge thats for cars !!!! You cant get passed the quarry , no path You still cant cycle or walk down all of Gipsy lane Was it the Conservative majority council who thought this through ???? if so , how much more council money will be spent putting it right ?

Its great for cottaging

A nice road with little traffic…for now! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

A very picturesque video today. Thank you! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

Most entertaining! - with a continuous commentary. Perhaps one day it'll be restored - but then there will be no water.....

I got the 2023 golf r. CarNet was setup on my phone. But I do not get that"user" icon in the main menu. Does yours still have that icon?

How do you connect your car to the internet to receive this

can any one share update file to fix black screen

Really think much better not to restore it so much wonderful wildlife there. Quite enough canals exist already.

Did all Britons canals git bilt by the Irish like they did in the U.S. or do they blame theirs on the Romans.

Thanks for this! I'm visiting the UK and the area in June and I have to get from Stroud to a museum I'm visiting (RMC The Cave) in Chalford and this looks like a great way to get there, just go on a little morning hike. It'll be fun!

I am on software 1899, panel hardware H41and panel software 3074 so your update is out of date already. Never had any issues with the brakes as you described, that is worrying. All I have had is constant error messages on the dashboard and the infotainment rebooting itself. Like you I have now sold the car. Thats me finished with VW.

I have composition media in my golf 8 and software version is 1776. is there a new software version available?

such a shame to see many canals used shame they cant open all the cannles up instead of sitting there doing notthing

In the 1950's, a party of four members of the Coventry Canal Society, decided to explore the Sapperton Tunnel. The variously floated or dragged their two boats, one an old dinghy, the other an inflatable (appropriately named 'Windbag') over roof falls until they came to one over which they couldn't get as it filled the complete tunnel. They affixed a memorial plaque to the the tunnel wall to mark their visit, awaiting discovery when the tunnel is eventually restored. Perhaps someone will find it. Incidentally they didn't ask permission for their exploit as they couldn't think of anyone who could give it. I could name two of the party but that wouldn't be fair on those whose name I can't supply. Perhaps the names are on the plaque

Had upgraded to 1899 and on occasions the screen goes blank and it reboots itself

Ten out of ten these fantastic people put hard work into restoring this and other canals.

What a beautiful walk chasing history. One day it will be restored and enjoyed by even more people.

Thanks for your time and effort!

Really nice vid, I almost feel like I am there in the English villages and hamlets. Was that a Deltic? I love those

Thank you for the picturesque tour today. Very calming and peaceful to view. See you on the next. Cheers mate! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

Thanks for making this, I really enjoyed it. I think the Baker's Mill Reservoir wildlife reserve towards the end, may have doubled as water power for the mill and as a canal feeder to help maintain its water level. It would be interesting if anyone could confirm this or otherwise.

A bit of research would of told you , what you thought was canal was actually river & the wall you walked by was an old Security wall for the port , You would also have been aware that your walking the Phase that failed to get enough lottery money so is to be done in future years as 2003 , after the Northern canals ending with Rochdale 2002 & Southern K & A canal 1990s had exhausted the lottery pot for that century but the 21st century will be the Cotswold Canals turn . 👍

That’s one haunted place. Beautiful but wouldn’t want to be there alone at night.

Thanks for taking us along, I plan to visit this next summer thanks to your video :)

Pity it's been in such a sorry state for such a long time...

WE stayed at the Bell in Sapperton for 2 nights in february. Whilst there we walked to the tunnel from the Daneway Inn, and some way back the other way passing about 10 locks. It really is a lovely area.!

Reading websites related to the restoration of various canal segments, this project will take years but what a positive result! Glad substantial progress is underway.

A long day and double the walking. Nice video. I found the end of your video place, that end of the tunnel in the dark, pretty much by time went in on my own, great idea and got back out. Some old locks on that 8 -9 mile walk then. Got 3 up by me, A bike ride away. Must be so many all over just left falling apart.

Thanks for sharing. It would be nice if plans were afoot to restore this magnificent waterway.

Just found this as doing coments responds on mine of Sapperton video. Will have this on this afternoon. Teased me with it as doing Sapperton of my own. YT knows what we all like!. Will link this on mine. shows the end I did in the dark nicer. That end middle of knowhere, Strugged to get to in the dark through the tress on my own, the group I did other end with went off, me in a canal on my own. That the shorter end and did on my own. Never the best idea in water on own, done before, will again I expect!. In geocaching playlist of mine. if link YT links I find comment gets deleted by system. Looks a nice walk, will have on properly later.

"Don't call me Dripping"! Straight out of a comedy sketch. Interesting walk.

Really enjoyed the film and good commentary...thank you

More bit nice they hope restored nice for wildlifings too

An interesting video. Just joined your UA-cam channel . Will view all in the near future. Best of luck in your endeavour. Cheers mate! 😊

I appreciate the "Dad Jokes"!

Wow. Interesting.

Looks like a great walk. The NLS maps are an incredible resource for researching the history of a route. Simply being able to alter the map date is a great way to envision the evolution over the years. Seems to be a lot of history along this route. Nicely put together video.

Did he say "gate handle" at 12:30? Balance beam; that's what they area called.

I remember walking the same route back in the late 70s or very early 80s. It was a sponsored walk from the old bus station (now Waitrose car park in Stroud) to the Bell Inn (where I presume you had your lunch?); it was a lovely summer day and my brother and I were very thirsty when we got to the pub and as I was only around 10 years old, we weren’t allowed into the pub to get a bottle of pop! We started walking back to Stroud but I got a blister on my heal and Mum had to come and rescue us near the Chalford Round House. Good memories!

Thank you for posting this and for the helpful commentary. I first heard about the Cotswolds Canal from Saul to Inglesham around quarter of a century ago; I am so sad that it largely remains derelict and undervalued. What a wonderful, transformative addition to the canal network it would be if only there was sufficient political will to embrace the heritage and have the vision for what its full restoration would bring to a wide area.
