  • In our latest canal boat diaries, we move from Liverpool to the Rufford Branch as we explore Britain by Narrowboat.
    Leaving the Liverpool Link we take narrowboat Silver Fox to rejoin the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, cruising through Bootle, Litherland, Melling, Maghull and Burscough on our way back to the Rufford Branch on our way to the Ribble Link.
    Dillon discovers the joys of jumping into the canal, we join the queue for a broken swing bridge passage and we discover the worst fish and chips we've ever tasted!
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    Just take a good long break. We’ll all be keeping an eye open for Silver Fox and her crew, whenever you’re ready.

However the best editing in the world wouldn't work without friendly, interesting and most of all genuine characters. xxx

    Going back over the whole series of vlogs and just had to say how magnificent narrowboat Silver Fox is. That shot of the frogs on the roof with NSF reflected in the patio windows as you moved smartly along was terrific. It's been an amazing couple of years for you two and in the last year you've managed to get my spirit off of COVID entirely at times.
    Well done lads.

    Gotta' say that the production values of your videos are OUTSTANDING! Great mix of slo-mo and sped-up sequences. The drone segments are a treat. BUT, for this old ad-guy, and for this vlog especially, the background music choice was INSPIRED, and frankly, inspiring.

    Hi Guys. Ive been a fan for a few months and am really enjoying your vlogs. They are very professional, Colin is a mine of info about the historical stuff and Sean makes me laugh all the time. We have been narrow boating four times now and love it! This year we did the Leeds and Liverpool. We started at Silsden and went towards Saltaire which we loved. Then we turned round and went as far as we could before turning round for home. We have never seen so many swing bridges! We worked out we did 60 in a week. One was so damaged we had to get 4 passers by to jump up and down on the other end whilst we moved it. Like Sean I operated a road bridge and waited for it to open feeling a right wally because there were people waiting. I then realised there was a push bar. Oops! We have never worked a swing bridge with key locks before. We did the Bingley Five and Three (quite an experience) The views were breath taking. Gorgeous sunsets. We didn't feel relaxed at the end though as we were so busy operating bridges. Do you tend to stay up north or do you venture all over UK? Keep going with your addictive vlogs. They are great.

    Hi chaps, great to see Silver Foxes doing her thing. Just a little teeny weeny request/suggestion type thingy, could you/would you on one or more occasions just do a raw chugging along, no music etc video in real time, say a 30min segment ? This would be as though we ware living your dream (sorry, you invited ALL of us, just kidding), and getting the actual feel of boating ! This would be like a breath of fresh air, an escape from our lives (ok a day pass), a break, a relaxing meander across this beautiful land via it's stunning inland waterways. I have watched someone drive a truck for hours, a lass making a coffee on her humble stove, all of these things made me feel more apart of and understanding of the tranquility attached to such endeavors. Kind regards. X

      Hey Adam 👋🏻
      Gonna be honest here... That’s really not us and there’s already several channels out there who vlog like that so we wouldn’t want to tread on their toes.
      Our vlogs are produced to reflect our personality, and although I never say never, I can’t imagine I’d put out a 30+ minute real-time vlog. Don’t be mad 😠 Admittedly, we’re a bit more energetic than some of the other boating vloggers, but we’ll always produce videos that are real-life as we experience it. xxxxxxxxxx

    Glad to see you have good weather to start your new life, it means that things start off on a positive note.
    It’s a shame that you had a problem with your hot water, but glad it was quickly sorted. It’s only natural that you experience teething problems with a new boat, it’s just part of the learning curve.
    Glad to see your dog is enjoying her new life, you can’t beat the gentle aroma of a wet dog in a boat, it gives a special atmosphere.
    I take it that the boat is now your home, I recall that you had sold your house in a previous vlog
    Keep the vlogs coming, I find myself looking forward to the next.

      Foxes Afloat . Thanks for the reply guy's. As for the barbed wire fence it's easy. If the wire is shining and looks almost new with no bits missing , it's to keep people in. If it's ragged and Rusty with bits missing it's to keep people out. . If you were to scratch your self and get blood poisoning on the rusty stuff braking in tough. if you were to do the same Trying to get out you can sue. hence cleanish shining wire.
