    Jan! You could use a sun hat! I am paying the price for not wearing one! Beautiful vlog!

      Thank you Jayne 👍
      I've never really found a hat I like but I do use sun cream when it's really hot.

    Maybe the cars were beeping because they knew Jan was at the tiller 😂 only joking! well done Jan 👏🏻

    Some of our fav mooring spots have been Ellesmere arm, the spot with the big view on the shroppie(😂) and Market Harborough!

      Ah, you spotted the rhino by the canal!
      Yes, we loved Ellesmere as well, handy for shopping and lots of individual shops in the town.

    Was laughing at Jan popping up and down at the start. We like anywhere in daresbury to moor on the Bridgwater canal. But no internet 🥲. Old horn 😂😂😂😂😂. Love you two. Xx

      We're going to have to 'up north' next year aren't we??? Heard so many good things about the northern canals and rivers. 👍

    I love the Oxford canal. Great time of year to do it. I was there 2 years ago filming sheep being pulled out. Lovely vlog.

    Could you clarify the canal is the one from Oxford that goes up north and intersects the grand union or a continuation of the Thames river canal...I don't have a detailed map?.❤️🇬🇧

    • @MakingNewMemories
      @MakingNewMemories  3 місяці тому +1

      Certainly! And your first guess is correct! As the name implies The Oxford Canal starts its journey in Oxford with two direct links from the Thames - one at Isis Lock and the other via Dukes Cut. The canal then winds its way north, exactly as the Grand Union does, and the two canals meet at Braunston - a very popular, and some would say spiritual home of narrowboating. The Oxford Canal then weaves it's way through the outskirts of Rugby before ending at Hawkesbury Junction where it meets the Coventry Canal.

      Hi Ian
      Sony AX53, Gopro Hero 7 Black, Insta360, Mavic Mini 2 (drone) and occasionally a Samsung phone for some of the walks around towns/villages.

    • @MakingNewMemories
      @MakingNewMemories  2 роки тому +1

      We didn't mind because those locks were reasonable and not too hard. We'd prefer them to help those who perhaps haven't done many locks before, or totally new to narrowboating. 👍
