    10:03 I saw it too in the same way. I thought that there was some huge animal running very fast in the field for a split second before I realised that it was just a small squirrel running in the foreground. Very funny, like an optical illusion.

      🤣 so glad it wasn’t just me then!! I couldn’t work out what it was for a second or two 🐗🐺🐴 and then saw it was just Cyril the Squirrel 🤣

    That squirrel caught me out too, thought it was a fox cause of the tail, then I twigged to what it was just like Elliott! :^)

      He looked massive (the background version anyway) so I couldn’t work out what it was until my eyes adjusted 😱😱🐴🐗🐺

      The Bridgewater is fantastic Mic.

    Elliott, I had the exact same reaction as you at the exact same time about the squirrel! Even said a similar thing! You aren't going mad. By the way, lovely clear vision of lovely wide, calm and pretty water ways. I felt like I was there with you just cruising along. Thanks heaps for the video.

      Thanks Eimja - it’s good to know it wasn’t just me!! I wouldn’t like to have taken on the larger version of the squirrel in a fight though 😱
      Really glad you enjoyed the video and could come along for the ride 👍

    Hi and happy new year to you both. We watch your channel and do like it. The only thing is you don't actually let us know when the cruise took place, we have to try and work it out 😮. If you could put something up, ie date like some other vloggers do, we would know when it was. Also, you look like you are heading back the way you came, ie back towards the Leeds and Liverpool canal. I know you weren't keen on the Wigan flight so if you are going back that way it would be nice if you explained why you are doing this. It would just help to understand a bit more. Thanks 😊

    I believe the plant you were trying to identify is Pampas Grass - a neighbour in UK used to have it.
    Looking at boats as they pass, well you do look at and comment on houses as you pass them. As long as they are not looking as a way of deciding whether to break in later or not.

    • @NarrowEscape1
      @NarrowEscape1  Рік тому +1

      Pampas Grass - that’s the stuff!!
      People looking into the boat is just curiosity and we don’t mind at all, we just it funny that people try and disguise the fact they are doing it 🤣

    Cyril the squirrel still doesn't look right when written but sounds right lol.
    I did wonder what on earth you meant when you shouted out what is that 🤔 I saw a Sid the squirrel 😮 running along the fence and I wear glasses for distance 😅😅😅 I was looking around to see what else you'd seen, when I looked back yes I agree you seen a spectacularly large rodent running across the field.
    So when will we meet Charlie with his floppy ears? 😅 mentioned this a long time ago when I heard Charlie mentioned ...
    Great Christmas family full of colds now wife and I have covid...
    Great start.
    I Hope you guys celebrate with a few bottles and some lovely grub to see in the new year.
    Have fun and share with us the fresh new canal route coming soon.
    You guys are the best 👌 that's coming from a very small boater who loves canals and its canal boat residents who all help keep CRT on there toes 😀 let me congratulate you on making my 2023 fantastic and you're sure to make 2024 a much better year for us all with your travels on board Josh on the waterways showing us your amazing water world 🌎
