For the final leg of my 2019 autumn cruise, I continued along the Upper Peak Forest canal, south towards Whaley Bridge and Bugsworth basin. The six mile stretch of canal includes two swing bridges and two lift bridges so I shamelessly took advantage of some passing hire boaters to help me through.

Hiya, the holiday boat you were following through the locks was one of our company's. The customers loved to watch your video that I shared with them, they are Dutch not German 😁😁 and one of our most lovely guests of the year! 👍
Oh how fantastic! Haha Now I’m extra embarrassed that I got their nationality wrong too :-(
😂😂😂😂😂
@RJ Original MOVIES you most likely are correct, but you never know. Although I agree with you!
Naughty boy, now go and sit in the corner and wear some Leder Hosen. Nice cruise by the way.
@RJ Original MOVIES It's probably real. There is a company that rents out narrowboats for holidays in the UK and their contact person's name is Paul Donnelly. Their ships also look a lot like the one in the video www.waterways-great-britain.co.uk/floating-holidays
What are the chances of this being a coincidence? And that's an account that's over 2 years old.
Your vlogs are probably the best antidote for stressful modern life that I can imagine. Thankyou
Sadly the canal seasons ends; but OH what an enjoyable gift of well filmed, narrated, & edited vlogs it was. Looking forward to next season; and perhaps soon (hopefully) Van Touring. Have a Blessed Holiday Season, 👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, some van vlogs soon but there’ll be more boat vlogs throughout winter, just not me cruising!
Thanks for another fine season of cruising and some especially lovely scenery.
11:51 if you can read this sign, you are stuck.
wow, that was some shallow water, it was only up to the waist on those ducks !
Even with the light rain , a beautiful day on the cut. Thank you for letting us tag along.
Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends. Stay safe on all of your holiday adventures!
All the stress leaves me as I watch CruisingTheCut
I love your videos.. so relaxing and soothing.. no loud headbanging music intro... no flesh... just lazy cruising down a canal..
Quintessential British weather, quintessential British wit. I love these vids.
Another beautiful canal... thanks for the 2019 vlogs David... Cheers from Missouri USA..
And indeed cheers from Kansas USA ( neighboring states by the for those not from here) much love God bless you all
Thank you cruising the cut. Cheers and merry Christmas from Canada.
The hire boaters were probably thrilled that you "let them" operate all of the swing bridges! ;-)
Haha OK, I’ll think of it that way!
I've reached a milestone - vlog no. 200. What a fantastic journey with you so far David. I've enjoyed every single minute. Love Del Boys narrow boat. So sorry your plans were dashed by the closure of the Macclesfield Canal. Thank you so very much for the wonderful adventures this cruising year. Looking forward to 2020, wherever you will be
Another awesome video. Makes me want to design and build a narrow boat canal from New York to San Francisco; the 1 Trillion price tag is not the problem, or the fun of going up Uranus in Missouri (has a nice fudge factory though), or the 800 flight of locks on each side of the Sierra Nevada mountains, or the ice breaking bow needed for part of the year, but the fact that Americans hate diesel Engines, and we all know petrol engines are very dangerous on boats.
Thanks for a great season. My coffee and I will be waiting right here for spring.
There’ll be more vlogs throughout winter, just not me cruising on my boat!
I really enjoy going on your adventures. I explored the Himalayas for 33 years and now sit back in old age and enjoy the armchair adventures, thank you very much!!
Thank you!
Looking forward to 2020 .Being stuck in a factory every day your videos are great escapism for 30mins .Thankyou for spending time filming,editing and posting for all of us to enjoy :)
I grew up in a hot, arid country, so this rain, and soft mist and gray, is all right with me. Loved it..thank you.
End of travels does not mean you disappear, I'll be happy to see your next vlogs, thanks for everything you've shown us
AS ALWAYS , LOVE THE VLOG. TRULY THE MOST RELAXING PART OF ANY DAY.
A rainy day on the boat is better that a dry day in an office!
Hopefully we won’t have to wait till spring to see you again! In any case, thank you for the vlog.
Thanks. There’ll be more vlogs throughout winter, just not me cruising on my boat!
Your narration reminds me of Ringo Starr's narration of Thomas the Tank Engine, satisfying very satisfying indeed lol
When I started out looking at these Vlogs, I had no idea what a narrow boat was or its intended use. 200 Vlogs later, with many others from around the world (if you read all the comments pinned to each Vlog), you have with you professional ability shown us what the inner parts of England are like, via the extent of the canal system. With these journeys we have seen the homes, country side, the various views of major cities, also having highlighted buildings, that have had a significant history to English manufacturing, and how the canals had an association with same. Along with the - swans (more swans) Herons, horses, sheep, low hanging tree branches and weeds, you have opened up to many people, who would consider visiting England, there is another way of seeing the country. I thank you for the journeys, it has been a pleasure to a companion (all be it from the seat in front of a computer), learning the "rights of passage" whilst cruising on a narrow boat. Also thank you for answering the questions raised (in various VLogs), it helped to understand what you saw, what was (or not) being down about various aspects of maintenance on the canal system. I look forward to further videos on this subject.
What a wonderful 2019 season of you cruising the cut. A complete joy it was. May your winter time be stocked with plenty of coal/shore power, gin and tonic, and of course cheese sandwiches.
I’m anxiously looking forward to your 2020 cruises
Love how you hit bottom trying to read the shallow water sign!
It may have been miserable to be boating in that weather. However, the result was very pleasant to watch.
Sad to see 2019 has passed. Looking forward to more great vlogs in 2020! Have a very cozy and Merry Christmas!
Hello David thank you again for a fantastic vlog As always your commentary is so enjoyable and funny Thanks for everything Merry Christmas and a propherouse 2020
I also hope you a a propherouse read 'proper house' even a prosperous new year. Sorry Sheila, no offence I just found that spelling very funny considering David lives in a boat)))
Moored up for Christmas now! I wonder if those German holidaymakers are still out there kindly operating the swing bridges for others on the cut?? ;-)
Boy its hard to believe, how far you've come, 200 episodes. I remember your first video's, when you first got your boat. Thanks for many hours of enjoyment.
Dogs look up to us - cats look down on us - pigs see us as their equal......Winston Churchill
Thanks for the ride along. Have a glorious holiday season .
Enjoy the festive season and see you next year.
There’ll be more vlogs throughout winter, just not me cruising on my boat!
Dear David. You have to stop making me so envious of your British canal adventures. If I was 20 years younger I would love to purchase or rent a narrow boat and cruise from June until September. Tony, the extremely old ex-Yorkshire person from OZ.
You are so funny David. Your comments made me laugh "Pompous Overlord " Ha ha .Cheered me up in these lockdown days. Thank you.
Wow, I'll say it again that watching these videos on a big screen HD TV is the way to go. Thanks for the video and sound quality that sets this apart from so many other vlogs.
Another enjoyable year of following your adventures. Thank you for posting them. Good luck in the new year and have a happy Christmas.
I'll miss your videos this winter and will await your reappearance next spring.
Swing bridges for a solo full timer are a pain, but for holidaymakers they are a novelty and, therefore, all part of the fun! I bet they actually wanted to work the bridges. Well, you can tell yourself that... 😄
I truly enjoy the vlog. You have made me decide to come to the canals and hire a boat for a 2 week holiday
I really enjoy the vlog as well. Living in the US, it makes me super envious of being able to have a lifestyle like this. Closest I could get is living on a lake, or getting a boat big enough to sail up and down the coast. Highly considering coming to the UK and renting a hire boat for a big vacation.
Excellent! I hope you have a fantastic experience. Let me know :-)
@@CruisingTheCut it is going to be next spring probably in late April early may
I get as much enjoyment, ne amusement, from your dialog as the scenery you provide. (USA)
Can't tell how much am loving your videos!soothing and treat to eyes. Pls continue making with your nice and funny commentary 😊🇬🇧
T%hank you for taking us along in 2019. We look forward to 2020.
That shallow water sign should have read:"If you can read this you are already aground" 😁😁
My brother was conceived in 1 canal side 11.58 and my route to school for a while was along the canal. Thankyou very much.
Congratulations on a season well traveled. Wishing you in advance a lovely Christmas and a great new year ahead. And there's a backlog of vlogs from your earlier years which I had deliberately kept unseen to to see me through the next few months! So, cheerio till we meet again!
There’ll be more vlogs throughout winter, just not me cruising on my boat!
We call that sort of weather mizzle here...not quite mist, not quite drizzle. Very enjoyable and relaxing journey, thank you.
Nice gentle end to the year🙂
Happy holidays mate, thanks for your time and hard work my friend. Greatly appreciated 👍👊😎🇨🇦🇨🇦
Awe smashing video and what a wonderful year!!! Thank you for taking us along!!!
Post 200 ! A very even number ! Deserves some sort of accolades !
Oh well, thats my holidays finished for the year, thanks for taking me along for the ride 👍
Another canal season over I do enjoy your vlog cheerio
Cheerio! I'm already looking forward to next year's expertly rendered all by hand map of prospective 2020 cruises.
Thank you so much for blog, it always cheers me up and soothes my wearness after work. Looking foward to 2020 vlog. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Regards James McPHerson
Sheepish he says, ha. Oh boy - the bridge misadventure sounds very frustrating. Been fun and quite enjoyable following you this cruising season. Has made my post op recovery a bit easier. The "not a vlog" posts are really nice for just relaxing and puttering around the house. Thanks!
There’s another notavlog lined up but probably after Christmas now :-)
Appreciate your vlogs very much. Happy Holidays!
Hi David
Loved the vlog on the Macclesfield canal for the 10th time it bought back many memories of the time we had our own boat ( Angela Louise ) back in 2005 to 2010 this was the best time of our lives but sadly had to give it up due to old age, the Macc was by far our favourite canal as was the Peak Forest and the Cheshire Ring, after 11 years we still visit the canals often staying on caravan sites close by in our touring caravan..Keep boating ..
After a busy day in Washington DC, USA, I really enjoy sitting back, lighting a cigar, and enjoy your pleasant adventures! I do enjoy your accent 😊, It’s very relaxing 😎 . Thank you!!
Annoying as it is for filming, I just love those sorts of "moist" days in the UK. I think the "mists and mellow fruitfulness" were well captured! Great job!
Thank you David for a great season of very interesting vlogs. I have learned a lot of British history and geography with fantastic views. Thanks again from cold and snowy New Hampshire, USA.
Even the weather cannot take away the beauty of the countryside. I think you are a bad man David-letting those holiday makers do that work ha ha. I hope you have enjoyed this years cruising as much as I've enjoyed watching your adventures.
200! I have watched, and enjoyed immensely, every one. Thank you so very much for all your work in creating these fine videos.
Thanks David. Three horses, sheep and pigs. Animal farm! 💖
"I felt sheepish." LOL You really pulled the wool over their eyes! (Like a lamb to slaughter, so to speak)
Im doing my virgin voyage from Rugby to London from 28.12.2019. WISH ME LUCK . LOVE YOU ALL,
Good luck, I hope you have a very pleasant voyage.
Good luck!
Rookie error falling for the “shallow Water” sign lol. Thanks for sharing your vlogs
A pleasure following you on your 2019 cruise, looking forward to your next series of Vlogs and adventures.
Thanks. There’ll be more vlogs throughout winter, just not me cruising on my boat!
Loved every second of this!
delightful as always..
Thanks for the great stuff. Love your commentary.
Been working my way through your vids (and I say "working through"... what I'm actually doing is watching a few in order, then jumping around as things catch my eye). Really enjoyable, very relaxing, and love the commentary. Watching this one though, can't help but feel many problems here could have been solved with a pair of binoculars...
Seems like a good idea. I can't believe I didn't think of it myself ages ago.
Astonishing indeed,cheers!
Don't feel bad. Opening bridges and locks is all part of the fun for tourists.
Congratulations on reaching Episode 200. And, as always, THANK YOU. Happy Wintering, Hollers.
i do enjoy the stone work , buildings and fences ,beautiful .we can see you love what you do ,thanks .
Thanks again for the fine videos.
Wonderful as usual. Thank You
David, Thank You for anther year of scenic vlogs of canal cruising. Thank you from Maine USA
Once again, many thanks for a great vlog. I look forward to your 2020 cruising programme and wish you all the best for the months in between.
Cheers. There’ll be more vlogs throughout winter, just not me cruising on my boat!
Yet again, thoroughly enjoyable, thanks 👍
Oh... I totally enjoyed your whole Macclesfield canal tour. Watched all of them in one sitting. And was really sad when it ended. I was living in Manchester for a couple of years when I was studying there, and your whole journey just brought back so many wonderful memories. The scenic views, the stone cottages, industrial buildings, dry wall, fields, back gardens, everything ... everything just feels so nostalgic. Your storytelling is wonderful to listen too as well. Thank you so much for this! Looking forward to your next tour after the lockdown.
P/s ... I wish you would bring us to some of your shopping trips, even if it's just buying cheese. Every time you moored and said you had to do shopping, I was expecting like a short go-pro tour of Sainsbury or something LOL!
Brilliant season of cruising!!
thanks for all the beautiful footage mate
Congrats on Vlog 200!
Thanks for bringing us along!⛴️
Thanks again for making another day more pleasant.
Thank you for sharing your travel with us
Love your effort to make a point. Great!
Yet another relaxing vlog. Reminds me of Jack Hargreaves and his program Out of Town. The same calm and pleasant voice. Please keep it up.
Very good trip can’t wait till next year 👍
I totally enjoyed watching your amazing video,cruising on the canal
Many thanks for sharing your summer crusing
Another peaceful journey. Lovely 💕👍
Don't you have some binoculars handy? We have some on our boat and use them a lot when on tour. Not only for reading the signs at the bank but also for watching fauna around us.
Thanks for all the nice vlogs 2019. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2020. Have always a handful water under the keel.
Too bad the Whaley Bridge arm was infested with road noise, because visually it looked like a nice spot to stop. I would've had the same trouble as you did with that shallow water sign, hence have learned a handy set of binoculars is , well, rather handy!
Thank you very much for another wonderful season of cruising.
Safe travels wherever you go. Cheers!
Once again a great start to my day with your vlog and a cup of tea
