My father was a member of the original Inland Waterways Amenity Advisory Council in the late 60’s, along with Iltydd Harrington (later chair of the GLC).
Many a long weekend forcing a way through the accumulated weeds to re-establish rights of way prior to the re opening of the canal systen
Legend! 👍🏻
Your old photo transitions from old to now are fantastic. They really tell the story of how, in this case, the canal hasn’t changed over the years. I appreciate how time consuming they are to make and get spot on so I just wanted to say thanks, I really appreciate you making them. Xxx
yes! I appreciate that too - and the trees round the bend were still the same shape!
Thank you soooo much!
I love the way you line up the new view with the old photos.
Thanks, Greg!
Thanks guys for my Calendar. Arrived yesterday in plain envelope. That should keep the neighbours guessing.
Haha! Enjoy it!
I really enjoy listening to the history of the canals from you two. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Kathy!
That's right Colin leave us with a cliff hanger lol ... I really enjoyed this post your cinematography is getting better and better, thank you for posting.
Thanks Marian. Some fantastic vlogs on the way 👍🏻
Hi Boys - Your 4pm Friday video release time is 1:30am Saturday morning in Australia. So, I look forward to each new video with my Saturday morning coffee - what a treat!! Thanks for you usual great efforts. Captain Alan - Oz
Same
Thanks so much, Alan!
Colin please put more of those time-lapse’s into the vlogs, that was great.
👍🏻
Colin, here’s an idea. Why don’t you do one of your interesting history lessons about the tow horses? How did the system work? Who and how did the boatmen pay for the service. Who led the horses and how far did they travel? You get the idea…
Might be a great cross over to vlogs like are all about work horses and cow hoof and horse shoeing vlogs ...can't believe how many subscribers hoof GP has!!! ( he is from Scotland...
That's more of a documentary piece. If we did I'd have to pull in some volunteers and dress them in pantomime horse costumes! 🤣
@@FoxesAfloat I’m sure Shaun would be up for that 😃
Your history research is great and so interesting. I just love the way Otis sits and watches the scenery go by.
Ah, he loves to watch the world go by (and the sheep) 🤣
If youtube did an Oscars I am sure Foxes Afloat would get a few nominations. The site has evolved and is excellent. Skilled editing. Great camera work/drone skills. Good choices of music. Humour is interspersed with facts. 9:06 Bless the lady helping out.
I know, right! 💜
I watch two narrowboat vlogs each week, both vlogs always have me feeling as if I'm there on the boat with you(not paying rent mind you). Your wit and story telling brin g life into what it is like on the canals. Please keep this up.
Thanks so much, David. We'll try 👍🏻
I love the way you were able to take the old photos and match them up to today’s photos. That’s really hard to find the same vantage point. Good job it was neat to see!
Thank you so much!
Professionalism reached a high on this production. Just gob smacked on how you replicate the exact position, today, of historical images to facilitate the seamless merge. Anyway you guys remain the best, most entertaining and professional programme on YT. Colin and Shaun your focus on the job to hand to the benefit of your viewers should be a lesson to ALL mainstream content providers over all media. Did I say you are good?
Wow! Thanks, Peter! 👍🏻
I have had a very bad day yet i find myself having a chuckle n smiling watching this thank you fellas u help more people than i think you even realise
Aww, thanks. I hope your weekend is a lot better! 💜
@@FoxesAfloat thank you kind sir 👍
The low angle shot of Silver Fox at 1:35 is so cool! Your videos just keep improving!
Aww, thanks, Bill!
What’s a “Free House”? Are the beers free 😂? You guys made my Friday once again. Great video! Many thanks!!
A 'Free House' mean the pub isn't bound to a particular brewery. that can sell any beer they want xx
@@douglasthompson296 Thanks Douglas for answering my query.
@@FoxesAfloat Thanks for clarification. Would love to see inside one of those English pubs when you get a chance. There you go, an excuse to moor by a pub for an ale or two 😃
Australia Calling: Another fine Saturday done and dusted watching your and being well informed.
Thanks Leo! x
Foxes Afloat: The quality goes “in” before the name goes “on”. A ROYAL WARRANT OF APPOINTMENT ….kind of episode ….this one was. I will repeat that this is a lot of work.
Whodathunk that two scoundrels could get a Royal Warrant of Appointment.
Stay safe , stay dry and ….carry on !
Veuillez s.-v.-p. agréer , Colin et Shaun (Shawn) , l’expression de mes salutations les plus sincères.
Canada’s Eastern Seaboard 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow! Thank you so much!
The audio for that return timelapse sequence had a decidedly Python-esque flavor! Enjoyed you guys as always, thanks for the fun
Nice one. Thanks! x
Loving the old/new photo transitions guys. 👍🏽
Cheers Ken!
I am so mad at myself for not doing the research that I should have about the canals of England. I lived in the Midlands and East Anglia in 1959 and 1960 but sadly was not aware. My wife and I have since then visited three times but, not being aware, have not taken those opportunities to travel on a Narrow Boat. Thanks to you gentlemen, you are providing us with the opportunity to learn and enjoy the beautiful English countryside from a totally different perspective. We so much look forward to each of your productions.
Thank you so much, Dave 👍🏻
Shaun and Colin. I can't begin to tell you how very much I love your channel! Shaun your laugh is contagious and your smile is just great. Colin I absolutely adore your commentary and the little known facts you give us. I think the two of you are brilliant.
I too suffer from anxiety, depression and PTSD.
The PTSD is from childhood trauma.
I am blessed with a wonderful family.
I watch your videos at night in bed to relax.
I have binge watched many and trust me I will watch them all!
I love you both! Take care and safe travels!
Thank you so much, Beth. Stay strong! 💜
I love the way Silver Fox just glides into those old photos.
A lovely cruise with some history lessons thrown in...what could be better!
Well...actually being there would be better..but I’ll take what I can get with gratitude. Give Otis a hug & a treat for me🦴❣️
Done 🐾
Those historical pictures of before and after are so cool, sure appreciate your efforts.
Thanks so much, Kathy!
Absolutely adore your channel. The stunning scenery and the awesome photography, combined with all the history and factoids is the perfect way to unwind and just chill the old grey cells. And the laughs n’ giggles.
Thank you so much.
WOW Thank you so much, Neil xx
I love the old timey vs modern photos of the locations you pass by and the history of these locations. Friday's at 4:00 pm are the best part of the week!
Thank you so much, Wendy xxx
Really interesting, loved the old photos. Sad to think it might be the last trip on Silver Fox but exciting times ahead. Have a good weekend. 😃X
Thanks, you too!
Hi Colin Shaun and young captain Otis
Loved today's vlog
But has a happy come sad theme today
As it could be the last journey on Silver Fox
But on the good side we could be going on your new Silver Fox next week
Look forward to next Fridays vlog
Perhaps a surprise too for us all xx
Fingers crossed!
You do such a professional job of filming and editing. Love the history and the then and now photos. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you very much!
Hi guys, not watched this yet, I’m catching up all the way back from the start, at about number 80 now. Just wanted you to know that you’re making two people who have no interest in narrow boats very happy watching these. Next time you’re at Woodlesford, let us know and we’ll buy thee a beer.
Ah, near our old home town!
It's a calm Saturday morning, here in the UK's most easterly town, but every news article is pretty sombre today. So, what better way to ease into the day, than watch the latest episode. Always fun, always informative and somehow comforting, like an old pair of slippers 😊 The number one thing about canal life, that's most appealing, is the pace of life. But there's always time for the fast forward version. Loved it 🙂
Thanks guys, and looking forward to seeing you next week 💚👏👏
I’m an old pair of slippers? 🤔😳
@@FoxesAfloat In very much the nicest and most positive way 😁
You would think it’s mid summer. Nice to see you both looking so tanned and healthy. Have a wonderful week and see you next time.🍷🇨🇦
Can't wait!
Thank you both for ? may the last ride with you on Silver Fox?, love the old photos and the farming snippet. You all take care.
Thank you, you take care too xxx
8:18 WOW! What a load of work and a terrific job of lining up the shot with the old photo!!
Thank you, Roger xx
I love the history lesson I receive as you guys traverse your canals!
Glad you enjoy it!
love the way you guys go thru the history of the canals as you go along. Really interesting stuff. Well done. Keep up the great work....look forward to the next vid!
Much appreciated!
So looking forward to whatever is next! I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful videography, the repartée between you two, and the music in the background, plus the history of the arm that is really a finger. Thanks to y’all, I know what those body part words mean in that sentence which is certainly not the usual meaning. 😂🤣😅♥️♥️♥️😅🤣😂 Hello and ear rubs to . . . No, not y’all! Otis!
Hehe, thanks, Lynette! x
I love the juxtaposition of the old photos and current videos. Very cool, you guys!
Thanks Jayne!
As a former Television videographer, 1) the juxtaposition of old and current was VERY well done as getting the almost exact same position of the camera to the old photo ain't easy. And 2) I am so jealous!!!
Gorgeous camera & drone work guys. You're getting very good at this.
Thanks James!
Love your history lessons. Especially love it when you show a photo of the way a spot used to be, then show how it looks now. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!
The old/new photo transitions add a most interesting dimension to your videos. Keep up the good work! Cheers🌹
Cheers Jeff!
Brilliant vlog, guys. Superbly edited, masterfully narrated, perfect and appropriate musical accompaniment. Informative. Really enjoyed this....it was like watching something on National Geographic. Thank you for your hard work...🌞
Always a pleasure! 👍🏻
Interesting about the canal restorations. I used to be involved in the UK rights of ways for vehicles the byways. We had to deal with groups of vested interests set up with the sole purpose of shutting the lanes down; they are still trying. Some local councils are also working hard to close the lanes. The lanes go back sometimes thousands of years to the Roman times.
👍👍👍👍
You two (and Otis) bring such weekly joy. Thank you 🙏👏👏👍😀
Always a pleasure 👍🏻
Interesting vlog. Surprising how much history and activity happened on the Welford Arm. Also love how attentive Otis is as you are travelling along.
He loves cruising xx
@@FoxesAfloat Don't we all?
I've watched videos of some of the canal restorations. The volunteers are simply amazing. It's really hard work and a lot of the volunteers are pretty old and it's sad that some won't see the results of their incredible dedication. The canal people of the past had grit for sure and so do the volunteers today! Great vlog as always and very educational.
I totally agree!
Your time lapse, travel back music was very Python-esque, I was waiting for the giant foot to drop out of the sky...lol
Haha! It was a tap 🤣
You guys make my week . You are up there with the best double acts ever.
WOW Awesome, thank you xxx
I just love the history. My dads side came from England back in the 1600’s. I’ve done lots of family history.
Nice one 👍🏻
Another great visit. Colin, I do love the way you align the super-impose fade-ins. Excellence is in your nature. Please, both of you, keep being awesome!
You always make my Fridays markedly better.
Many thanks, Cameron. Glad you appreciate the effort 👍🏻
We are always amazed at the amount of research you do for each vlog. This couple in New Jersey never miss one and enjoy each one immensely. Thank you, guys!
Thanks so much guys 👍🏻💜
As informative as ever, lads. Good luck, stay safe and take care both of you.
Cheers, you too!
Whoop whoop My calendar arrived safely yesterday absolutely love it and love the photography Collin xXx
Nice one. Enjoy! x
Oh heck. The last one …… maybe! New adventures ahead. Thanks. C&Lx
Last time on Silver Fox, but amazing adventures to come xxx
Brilliant on the fade-ins from historical view, to current view. Really liked those.
Cheers Tony!
I enjoy your videos, they are artistic, professional and as good as any programme on mainstream tv, in fact I would not be surprised if soon you were producing programmes for wider viewing, the content and production is superlative in every way.
Watch this space 🤣
hi guys..great vid again...just wondered if you had heard about the massive breach in the Leeds Liverpool...near rishton lancs....5 metre wide hole on the towpath caused a 40 mile drain between Blackburn and Barrowford ..overnight last weekend.10/10/21..devastating to the fish and wildlive..I remember your vid in east lancashire and you wasnt impressed with burnley ..lol.....anyway just thought i would let you know....probably gonna be closed for 6 months the crt have said....stay safe and enjoy.....and just an afterthought ..we are gonna need a bigger tap ..lol
Yes, terrible!
Loved the educational aspect of this vlog - thanks so much for all you put into these great vlogs!! I hope all is going well with the new boat build. Hugs to you three! 💜
Thank you! You too!
Best way to start my Saturday here in "sunny" Melbourne - coffee, warm bed ... with Colin and Sean 😃 Thanks for a fun, informative channel ...oh, and hugs for Otis 😘
You're welcome, Carol. Thank you 🙏
You guys just get better and better - thank you 👏👏
Thanks Graeme 👍🏻
I hope I am still around to see the new narrowboat. You have made the last 2 + years...since your first show, ...worth staying around and not so lonely. Love you both ***and Otis too XOXOX...oh how I wish I had known about the canals when I was widowed in the 80's..I would have had to check them out.....
I hope you stick around Marjorie, these guys attract the type of people I'd like to know.
@@MrMadscotsman you and me both, as my friends have left this earth and I have become bed bound, I find it hard to find like minded and people such as Shaun and Colin.to share my time. They are the best.
Aww, we hope so too, Marjorie!
@@marjoriejohnson6535 It's nice to meet you! That's the great thing about the internet, isn't it? Wherever your imagination can take you, there you can be, with interesting people too.
Bumping is a real nightmare after a hull repaint, understand what it's like. People don't realise the beauty of the countryside we travel through. Very interesting vlog guys.
Cheers Paul 👍🏻
I'm late today but as always boy's a bloody brilliant Vlog. can I also just say thank you for the last 19 months through the lockdowns keeping me & everyone else entertained I'm so glad I found you on UA-cam. before I go my calendar arrived today, it looks brilliant. see you next week.
You're very welcome, George. Glad you're enjoying this madness xx
What fun this week, lots of smiles and beautiful scenery, really enjoy finding out all the interesting facts you research, both looked very handsome with your hair cuts 😀🌟🥂 Nicola 🌟
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Hi guys. Wonderful production again this week. You two really are canal royalty 👠 we have been watching some of your subjects!! And there videos are nowhere near as polished and informative. Absolutely love the chemistry you guys have together. Being around each other so much has bonded you and made you an awesome team. I don’t know when I’ve learnt so much so quickly. Much love and respect ✊
WOW! Thank you so much 😊
There are just so many things to say thank you for... the lovely fades from old photos to current video in the same location, the wonderful changes of camera perspective, the small history lessons, the sunshine, the lovely music in places, the back & forth between you... & the scenery! Thank you!
AND the way you clearly lift people's moods. You're good for the planet lads!
WOW! Thank you so much 😊
Hello gents, even though i didnt see it in the video, the canal crossing bridges are such a beautiful design, of form following function 👍😁👍
We agree!
Hi gents, I really enjoy your videos. One feature of many, if not all, roving bridges is that they are designed so that the horse can remain attached to the boat as the towpath changes sides.
well I Think someone had turned that tap off as the water level as a bit low when we were on the Leicester arm a few weeks ago! thanks for the trip up the Welford Arm ( finger) as we didnt have time to do this. xx
Oh dear!
I hadn't realised when our family canal holidays started in 1970 the restorations were just getting going - reminded me of a touring canal theater company we saw then - I googled and found 50 years later they are still going. The Mikron Theater Company. One verse of one song has stuck with me for 50ish years - Navvies Jerusalem... . Bit of a restoration anthem I guess.
Bring me my boots and grappling irons
Bring me my mighty JCB,
Bring me my spade! O ecstasy,
Bring me a gallon flask of tea,
I will not flinch from seas of mud,
Nor shall my sludge-pump idly stand,
Till we've restored the waterways
Through England's green and pleasant land.
yes! Seen them before 👍🏻
Hats off to the Volunteers of all the canal restorations, who knows one day you might be able to take Shaun up the Wendover Arm.
He'd love that 😉
@@FoxesAfloat Wouldn't we all.
Wonderful, so picturesque and tranquil, accompanied by facts and gentle humour. A joy to watch 🙏😎
Thanks, Heather!
With the way the HGV driver shortage is working out the Government will be asking canal boat owners to help save Christmas by transporting goods once again. Have you asked Boris if you could make a few extra bob on your travels?
Only if we carry selection boxes 🤣
@@FoxesAfloat And doggy chocs, mustn't forget Otis. How about red wine for Shaun?
Fabulous vlog🎉 the cinematography, editing, comedic timing and pacing, top job mates!
Thanks a ton!
I miss Shaun’s cooking videos, stay safe guys. Take care!
They're still there.
Just finished watching all of your vlogs!! I started February/March of this year due to being off work due to illness.
I can honestly say that the two of you have helped me through an exceedingly bad year.
Thank you Shaun, Colin and Otis.
Always a pleasure, Peter 👍🏻
Another great and interesting one thank you . You two just make me smile .
Our pleasure!
You are getting quite handy with that drone. Thanks for the cruise. Til next time. Xo
Thanks for watching!
Another fabulous foxy Friday vlog l 😊can't wait for the next instalment you always put a smile in my face thank you 😁
Oh thank you!
Such an exciting time for you two (and us)! Thanks again for your wonderful blog. Absolutely love the production quality and effort you put into them. Loved the "almost" Monty Python tune in this one too! That might even make for a great series "Not Quite Monty" or something like that. All the best from Canada's West Coast! 🇨🇦🇬🇧❤
Hehe. Cheers Stephen! x
Here’s guessing I’m not the first to submit their great disappointment at there not being a flippin huge, chrome tap in a field feeding the canal 😁 Take care lads, hope everything is good with you.
Yeah, two people have complained to UA-cam about there not being one in the sky like on the thumbnail. (seriously) 🤣
@@FoxesAfloat please no. You couldn’t make it up 😂
That was a nice little trip and I appreciate the history lessons along the way. Have a Blessed week.
Thanks, you too!
They way you spoke about people power the collective good people working together can achieve was somewhere between moving and inspirational. Don't stop doing what you guys do....
Aww, thanks!
Thanks so much. I have been bed ridden for 4 weeks and took the opportunity to go back through all your old blogs from the beginning. You kept me a little bit saner than I would have otherwise been. Have loved going through your story again ( binge watching) love you both. Can’t wait to see what the next 3 years bring for you.
Thanks Debbie.
Ooo i said this before but....i flippin love that horn on silver fox....must get one for my car🤔
🤣
I've finally subscribed, and you only had to tell me 173 times over the last 2 months. Great vlog, love the history, the journey and the humour, and Otis too.
About bloody time too! 🤣
What a life that is living on a beautiful narrow boat and travelling up and down the country seeing beautiful countryside you guys are very lucky.
We are, thank you!
Ah, lovely vlog you guys. Especially liked the old photo/present day morphs. Wonderful touch. Please don't sink! Hugs to Otis. Raining here on the Sunshine Coast, BC, and weather's cold. So lovely to see your cheery faces, and sunshine.
Aww, thanks, Anne! x
Great stuff 😊… yet again boys 👍 Lovely quality, interesting facts, great music and yes 😮 nice 👌 haircuts!
Hehe! Cheers 👍🏻💜
Lovely video lads !!....can't wait to see the new boat !!... stay safe...💜👍🐺
Thanks 👍
Great vlog as always guys. Stunning cruise. The difference the sunshine makes too. Have a good week.
Thank you! You too!
Hello you wonderful guys! I watched this while having my Sunday morning coffee...you have no idea how much I enjoy your videos, I find them so calming and am always astounded how much work must go into researching the history, as well as showing pictures...it is so appreciated! Now I can hardly wait till next week, with that teaser..."Is this the last cruise on Silver Fox?"...Thank you so much, take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Please give Otis a cuddle for me. Lots of love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Thanks, Kathy!
Great video as always wish u luck on your new boat can't wait to see it and more of your great blogs
Thanks so much!
Fun trip. Enjoyed the then and now images in addition to the history👍👍
Nice one. Thanks, Mark!
Never get tired of your impeccable film/music timing!!! How about a pig-feed-trough! They row races in those here in Austria😂😂😂. But seriously: I shall miss lovely, svelt silver fox! But I'm sure you have grand surprises in store for us! Oh yes: LOVED the tree shot from (I suppose) foxes roof straight into the branches! What green! Brilliant! As always thanks a million- take care! Love from Austria!😊🐾🎶
Hehe! Sounds cool. Thanks, Barbara!
Autumn is well and truly here! Everything is changing colour. Autumn can be so beautiful.
I always feel educated by you Colin ! I love the history of the canals and how they used to be. !
So is it good bye to silver fox ? 😕 can’t wait for next vlog ! Love you two guys ! Have a great weekend Shaun Colin and my fellow subscribers ! Xxx
Autumn is lovely! Yeah, maybe find out next week 😉
Just love the history you give us.
Always a pleasure 👍🏻💜
Same here in Canada, an unusually warm October.
The end of an era - well not quite but you get my drift. So looking forward to your next adventures - I wonder where you will take us? Yes I got dizzy with the speeded up bit but a good way to show the return trip. Thank you Silver Fox for keeping our guys safe and happy further travels.
Ah, nobody is expecting what's coming in a couple of weeks 🤣👍🏻
Love how you guys talked about the British grit and determination, and earlier an older lady was showing you guys up opening the swing gate. She reminded me of my grandma, who was family came fron England, who was active until we lost her at 99 lol
99 is a fabulous age xx
