32 Through Harecastle Tunnel To The Macclesfield canal.
I leave Great Haywood and continue my journey to the Macclesfield Canal via the Harecastle Tunnel. It was a lovely cruise to the tunnel where I'd booked a passage. Never having been through this tunnel I was a little apprehensive as the tunnel is often referred to as the Scarecastle Tunnel. In the end, I didn't find it that bad although it was cold and wet. Having passed through the tunnel I finally reached the Macclesfield Canal which I have been looking forward to.
First Impressions of the Macclesfield are good and I am sure I will enjoy this beautiful canal and area of the country.

    • @TheNarrowboatNomad
      @TheNarrowboatNomad Місяць тому

      Hi Charlie, Bubbly Too was built in 1988 and originally had a multi fuel stove with a back burner for hot water, the stove had a flue that was set at an angle before passing through the roof. The previous owner replaced the stove with a new Morśo 1410 stove and replaced the flue with a straight one. So the second outlet was where the old chimney flue was. Not sure why the change was a made but having a straight flue does make cleaning the chimney easier. Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs. 👍😃

      Hi Lesley, I think I've been a nomad all my life, always keen on seeing new places and what's around the corner. I bought my first camper, an old VW hippie bus when I was 19 years old and have had many through the years. It would take forever to tell all but I have to date visited close to 70 countries and lived full-time in a camper van or motorhome from 2009 until I bought Bubbly Too last year. I find it difficult to stay in one place for long, even as I get older. 😘
