OMG That tunnel freaked me out. I could not have travelled through there! Hmmm, your 'heron' voiceover had me in stitches! & what can I say, quite clearly your leg was infected - I don't know how they could ignore that?
Hi Skip. Hope you get back your “canal legs” soon.Paul Middleton was a old neighbour of mine and I last spoke to him in Harrogate last year. His brother Phil was a very good artist and blues mouthiest player! Take care shipmate. Hutchinson RN.
By the way how’s the leg? The merchant navy have a term for a one legged sailor who’s only duty was to clean up and make scran! He was called a Peggy !
Me again........ You got the "Stannidge " pronunciation spot on. H-o-w-e-v-e-rrrrr....later in the series you committed the cardinal sin - well , it's cardinal 'round them parts, but optional in the real world - of "Slaythwaite " the locals have it as "Slawitt" , thus you marked yourself out as an out-of-towner, and , probably, shock/horror , a Lancastrian. Lucky you didn't find yourself..the guest of honour inside a rather warm wicker man !!!! Nice tunnel , tho' , innit ?
Haha yeah these local pronunciations are a real problem. I've also heard Sowerby Bridge pronounced Sawby! But Lancastrian I ain't, so maybe I got away with it. I was thinking today I'd like to go back to the Huddersfield. Taking that on with less than 3 weeks experience on a boat was quite a challenge. I feel more equipped for it now
Hello there, slow but sure started from the beginning, Lovely country side n Very interesting Thanks for sharing your videos cheers take care see you soon
I'll admit, it was worse than I was expecting, but now that I can steer straight I'd quite like to have a bash at it again. Hmmm maybe that's the wrong way of putting it as I bashed it enough the first time!
I’m so pleased I found your channel your vlogs are so entertaining, just the right amount of everything in them. Glad I went right back to the beginning. Sorry about your poorly leg but you still have two of them in your latest offerings so it must have got better! 😊 😊
Hi Andrew, just started watching your videos and must admit thay are Brilliant, footage excellent and your photography, what go pro do you use, I use my go pro lots it’s the go pro 6 black, use all time, anyway will carry on watching your vlogs keep up the good work, thanks John.

@@patriciahodgson4188 haha I've always fancied being called Peggy! I'll be posting an update later today
Great video. Sorry the leg got infected but you’re obviously over it now!
Hi Sylvia, just catching up on comments i hadn't replied to. Yes the leg is all better now but did take a couple of months
😁👍👏👏👏
Your tip about Diggle fish and chips, well i'll take that with a pinch of salt.

No, I don’t think I could handle that claustrophobic tunnel! Good for you!

Thanks Rita. Yes I'm not scraping a wooden leg along the towpath yet. It did take a couple of months though
Tales From The Swan's Neck I’m so sorry it took so long, I wish I hadn’t joked about it now.........🤦♀️
That's quite alright Rita, I didn't take it any other way apart from a lighthearted remark which made me chuckle
That's a creepy tunnel.
I wish I hadn't had a camera malfunction because I didn't do it justice. Maybe I'll get to go through again one day.

Hi John, pleased you're enjoying my vlogs. I just use the GoPro pioneer - cheap as chips, but does the job
I enjoyed the video up until the bird trying to get the ducklings then I turned off, did you have to show that?
Well I'm pleased you enjoyed some of it Matt! Nature can be very cruel and the mother duck won out in the end so the heron went hungry
@@talesfromtheswansneck Jolly good, I'll watch the rest of it then if there's nothing gruesome 👍
@@jbc825 I'm the most gruesome thing in it Matt!
