► FAQ
Q• Why do you speed up some of the footage in your videos?
A• We don't, we film it as time-lapse footage. We do not have the battery capacity or data storage to film in real time as our cruises can last up to 7 or 8 hours. We use to the time-lapse footage to help tell the story of movement rather than showcase the scenery. We limit the amount of time-lapse shots we use in each vlog.
Q• Why are the videos so behind?
A• This summer we decided we really wanted to just enjoy travelling on the boat. If we felt like cruising we would. It turened out we cruised a lot which meant we filmed more and had less time to edit. This meant the edits got really far behind. It was not intentional its just a consequence of us looking after our own mental health. Don't worry we are not rushing, we are just trying to enjoy the adventure.

Just realized! Jo, with your maps you could add details like EVERY bridge, every lock, every former bridge (restriction), every pound, every detail. You have and you are recording it all. You could publish a coffee table picture book of canal architecture. You have the images. 👍🏻
Oh, when you’re done over there, come over here and do the ICW and the Great Loop and the St. Lawrence Seaway and The Missouri and The Ohio and all of the tributaries.
Need any more ideas? 😁😉
Foster's is the Oz equivalent of Moosehead and 50 in Canada or Corona in Mexico: A great diuretic and a horrid beer. One should engage the Foster's consumers to use the canal to replace all the missing water.
Yuk
Thanks for another video Jo and Ball Chucker.
Haha, thank you!
Another great picturesque vlog. You guys are always so great about replying to every comment. Don’t feel compelled to reply to this one. Just wanted to let you know I look forward to your journeys every week. Cher’s from Florida 🌴🌴🌴
Thanks. It’s nice to hear it’s appreciated. We read everyone and try to reply as we really appreciate the community but not sure if we can keep it up forever. We did over 20000 replies last year. And I couldn’t not reply to this one.
You and the Foxes have really been helping me through the last year, and tonight's news gives me hope that we'll be able to do the boat holiday this year that we had to postpone last summer. Maybe we'll see you guys on the water, depending on where you're at then.
I hope you make it onto a canal this year. 🤞🏻
just watching the Mars landing was slightly disappointed that I didn’t see a blue narrow boat landing by parachute given the name 😉😉😉
NASA obviously believe that there are canals on Mars.
I laughed when Michael said, "Fosters - Australian for Beer". That was the commercial presentation in the US and Canada for quite some time. Among my beer drinking friends, I don't know of anyone who is a Foster's fan. Hope you both have been able to get your first vaccine. Stay safe and well! Marjorie
Outro looked lovely with the smoking chimney in the rear. Beautiful
@foxesafloat did a great video on the whole story of the flooding 😁
Thanks! 👍🏻
At this rate you will catch up on your vlogs to present day !!! Great watching thankyou 👍👍
You two cheer up my day 🥳🥳
Good! That cheers up ours! M
That explains why they were pumping water out of the Goyt in your last video. I'm surprised that it's taken them so long to get the dam fixed.
It certainly does!
there replacing the lost water with fosters perhaps probably the best use for it ;)
I suppose someone has to drink Fosters, because Australians won't touch the stuff. And who can blame them?
@@hamshackleton only in Queensland.
That green & red boat you comment about being moored on long lines has a very deep draught so has moor like that in a good may places.
Ah, that makes sense, thanks!
Just looking for something to watch on TV and there was your notification . Usually wait till the morning but couldn't. Thanks for being there.
Thanks for being so quick! M
Hi Guys, peak forest is quite beautiful. Fosters hmmm, other aussies may disagree but fosters isn’t near the top class beer. It’s the stuff we send overseas, saving the best for ourselves. 😂😂 dunno what the Brits see in it, they sell it up in Scotland a lot to. Great videos recently Jo & Micheal. 💗💙🙋♀️🙋♀️
Aussies consider Fosters is what you pee out in the duny
Back in the late 1700s/early 1800s it was planned to connect the Peak Forest Canal to the Cromford Canal. This was abandoned due to the lack of available water on the limestone uplands of the White Peak area and instead one of the very earliest railways [Cromford & High Peak Railway in operation from 1833] was built on the surveyed route with a total length of 33 miles consisting of level sections plus 6 rope worked inclines to get to the height of over 1000 feet above sea level to cross the Peak and back down to about 250 feet at Cromford.
Fascinating stuff! Thanks
Fosters, Yuk! I only drink Kronenburg 1664, can't find any Labatts or Molson these days!
Jo's face at the end of the vlog was a picture. So nice to see you guys laughing.
Thanks for another trip aboard.
The bridge you said is the viaduct for the railway line to hope valley union road bridge you cant see from bank end where you are bridge 29. Carry on the great videos very entertaining to watch.
LOL great ending.
Haha, thank you!
Stoke is the home of the oakcakes. Another fantastic video. Many thanks from chris 👍 and Jane
Many you’re welcomes! M
But not Derbyshire oatcakes.
Nicely done! If ever get on a narrowboat, I'd love to do the Peak Forrest.
We can highly recommend it!
Dratt....... ending on a bird poop moment...... Lovely, Give Georgie a hug.....
We do talk about poop a lot!
Loved this!
Booked a narrow boat from Llangollen, to do the Cheshire ring, abs the peak forest in August - so this was perfectly timed! Hope you didn’t get stuck too long!
How exciting, I bet you can’t wait!
@@MinimalList buzzing like an old fridge, and you guys being on the peak forest, has definitely sent my excitement to new heights!
Hi great watch as ever.. look for the History of the Cromford and High Peak Railway which a link to the canal in Whaley Bridge
I loved swizzel sweets as a kid but I have to say they are probably the cause of the many cavities I and my friends suffered from. Thanks for the ride along. Very enjoyable and covid distracting. Keep safe guys. Stephen
Yes, pure sugar, yummy!
IT looks soooo relaxing cruising the cut i would love to do that for a while... stay safe !
It is relaxing. But it is hard too.
Just do it !
We had our first narrowboat surveyed before purchase at Furness Vale, The Peak Forest was a blur due to too much concentration on learning to drive the boat. Must re visit it one day to appreciate it properly.
Thanks guys love watching the 3 of you
Thanks for watching!
Hi guys hopefully you will be able to get going soon. I can't wait to get moving. Just got one vlog to do to get me past stage 2 so if it's nice on Sunday gonna do the walk I should have done a week or two ago so if I see you I'll give you a wave. Take care you three cheers Alan x
We had to move to do laundry. Kind of missing our old lockdown location. Looks like we are going to be here for the rest of lockdown!
A good California Zinfandel is a great wine.
The Peak Forest has gotten great reviews for multiple canal vloggers. Sounds like a great destination in and of itself!
We like it a lot. It didn’t quite make it to ‘new favourite canal’ status for us though!
Fosters used to be better beer than it is now!
It always amuses me to see Jo, George and other assorted pedestrians scooting along like they are in a Benny Hill chase (showing my age there!). We found the Macclesfield was very shallow.
'Hey little Sparta' (Someone will get it)
peak forest has been very popular this winter which is no bad thing, fosters is brewed in the moss side brewery just on the outskirts of Manchester city centre from where you are
Why is it so popular, here in Victoria it's called piss!
@@stephenhunter70 same here it's those that like to drink all day or night that drink it as it's not that strong. I call it a headache in a can
UA-cam have just suggested your very first vlogs to me so, in a fit of nostalgia, I went back to the beginning. Three years seems a veritable age ago! Did you ever get round to doing those tidying up jobs? Did the panelling get painted white? How's the clutter lol? Hope you are still enjoying canal life as much as you were expecting to back then :)
We are. The boat needs even more work now! I’ll have to go back and watch that first video too!
Another beautiful trip, shame the 7 day moorings were not at the basin, it was so peaceful there, seemed quite noisy with the traffic along that road. Cheers, Nigel
Yeah, it would have been nice to stay in Bugsworth for a bit longer but I guess they limit it as it’s so popular with visitors
I guess you've had all sorts of comment reference being on Mars? That is one long pound without locks! Is it perverse that I love narrowboats and the canal system, while also being fascinated by space travel and the amazing technology of the 'other' Perseverance. Apparently they have landed on or near what has clearly been a delta, so water was once part of Mars' Nicholson.
The news today from that nice Mr Johnson, strongly suggests our postponed cruise from October probably will not take place at Easter, so my 'crew' and I will have to plan something else? I don't know if I can talk them in to it, but we might be able to do two weeks in August and one of the rings? If you only had two weeks and you had to start and stop in the same place, which one would you do? (To be fair, Shire Cruises will actually allow you to do part rings and they pick you up in a minibus.)
I know you already know, but from where you are on the vlog, to where I am typing, there is a lot a 'weather' coming your way. I guess it gets "interesting" as in; 'May you live in interesting times'.
An Award for the fasted best and with no retakes outtro... !!!!!!! lolol
It had to happen one day!
If George didn't love you M. , he wouldn't bring the ball to you...lol...also this is the second time I've heard of people wanting to poison animals around the canals...I don't think I would ever let my dog run free ,just in case...thankfully you both keep a watchful eye on him..thank you for another great vlog and stay safe 💜👍
It’s very rare but scary to think anyone would do that to an innocent animal
Best outro ever. Nuff said.
Enjoyed the video. Hope that you are well and safe.
Thank you, we’re doing pretty good.
I think I know the answer to the low water problem, more Foster's. BTW, Your closing causes me to recommend the FB group "Crap Bird Photography" for a group that refuses to take themselves seriously. The pictures are, well, remarkable, the comments delightful.
Anyhow, nice cruise again, and we all know George thinks you're both wonderful.
Great video again. Feel sorry for Joe having all that walking too do. Cheers see you next time. I hope I spelt you name correctly.
There is e, it’s Jo!
No need to feel sorry for me. I love it, I wouldn’t do it otherwise.
Thank you for the music....
I love Oatcakes, but they have to be plain or perhaps with pepper.
We did end up getting some! 👍🏻
Ok, so the heron stayed put, the boat passed, still the heron. Impressive!
Yeah, I was waiting to film it fly off!
After what must be two of the wettest years in living memory having to close lock flights is simply shocking . All lock movement in 2020was down by a third so not looking good for this year's cruising, if it ever gets under way.lovely scenery though .
It’ll get underway eventually... just wish it’d be sooner rather than later. M
Great vlog and cruise
Thank you so much!
I hope you went for a pint in the Ringers (ring o bells)
Even here in the States I like Fosters, but my beer time is in the summer. Wine season now. I once got crapped on by a bird and it hit the bill of my cap and spattered on the face of a lady standing next to me. She gave me holy heck, what? My fault?
please soon show us on the map how much you have covered and how much you have left of system
Will do. Probably once we’ve finished the Macclesfield!
Great videos
16mins 45 secs a 40ft aintree beetle thats what i am getting, it was scheduled for delivery end of March but thats blew out the window due to all the lockdowns, delivery date now is in the lap of the gods.
I hope you get afloat soon! How exciting!
#thumbsup
👍🏻👍🏻
It's really hard leaving a good mooring.
It is, but it’s always fun to find the next one.
You must be glad NASA named their Mars rover after your narrowboat.
It was a sensible choice for them!
I found a good recipe for Staffordshire oatcakes on the internet, well worth trying out.
Good luck!
Jo, I know that you both have had many questions but, has anyone ever asked you how many miles you have walked within all of these mi. you both have boated?
So I ask, How Many? "Inquiring mind wants to know"? :-) :-) CHEERS
Sounds like you’ll be coming slowly out of Lockdown soon in Britain. Stay safe.
A few more weeks yet but it is looking hopeful! Thank you, you too!
Back so soon, how was Saturn?
Fosters is an "australian" export beer. not many australians actually drink it.
Fosters in the UK is 'a triumph of marketing over product'. It's all brewed under licence here anyway.
Cause that means that Gorge has walked that many mi. as well,,,,, or there abouts I would think... ?? HE HE HE. CHEERS again..
Hey bugs worth not buxworth tradition tradition !
Jo, I have a question for you and Micheal...... ??? Where or in what Marina, would you consider worth living at with "Perseverance" and in what town that you would prefer? So's I can come visit, and way anchor.
Hmm, I’m not sure we would ever consider Marina life to be honest
Hello, I am In America and have an interest in " Canal boats " as I call them ...lol...anyways can i ask about #1 How do you turn around ..? and go back the way you came..?... it just does not look very wide to do this in many places along the way . Or are you going to a destination port some where ..?.. I know that the UK has a lot of cannels. and do not know how this all works?. Do all the boats have to be steel frames or could it be made of wood and Fiberglass ..? or is that not a good idea for how narrow the passage ways are ..? ..and do you have to radio someone when you go into tunnels so you don't meet halfway in the middle and get stuck ..?...There is just so much to learn about all of this .and any information I get would be apricated..!.....And 1 more question .Is your Husband from America because he has no English Accent ...?.. Just wondering ...Thanks hope to hear back from you ..Take care ..and Happy boating the cannel's.....
I’m American as well (and Canadian), hence the lack of English accent (indeed my accent is really hard to pin down because of all the travel). As for boating: turning on narrow canals happens at designated turning points, either at junctions (which naturally afford a turn) or at dedicated “winding holes”. There’s usually one every few miles, so you just have to keep going in one direction till you find one that will accommodate the length of your boat (some have posted length restrictions). The narrowboats were originally wood, but rapidly because iron clad and then steel plated, mainly due to their heavy industrial usage. Wooden (usually classic working boats) and fiberglass boats of appropriate width definitely exist, but it’s more common to find them on wide canals, as relatively few manufacturers build fiberglass (known here as GRP) boats to the thin and long proportions of a narrowboat. Radios are not common aboard (except on certain tidal rivers) and things like tunnels are either wide enough for two-way traffic, are time-managed by either signals or tunnel keepers, or are one-way but you can see all the way through to ensure the tunnel is empty before proceeding. Hope that helps! M
@@MinimalList hello , and thanks for explaining this to me , another question I have is how.much water draw. Do the boats usually have a foot or so.. ? I think this life style is really great and.i want to try it ...have to save up the money.needed to rent one here.in the USA and go on the erie carnal ...thanks for your reply...and HAPPY TRAVELS TO. YOU AND YOUR WIFE .
They usually draw between 2 and 3 feet below the waterline at the deepest point, but of course it depends a bit on how they’re ballasted. We’re a little over 2 feet, so we don’t scrape ground much. M
At 12:44 I thought for a second Mikel was holding a hand grenade!!!
your calculation is out a little!
0.2m (20 cm) x 9m x 26000m (26km) = 46800 cubic metres = 46,800,000 litres
hi but next lock is 16miles
@@josecorreia8280 ...and 16 Statute Miles = 26 kilometres. Or 25.75 kilometres, if you have to be pedantic.
@@RadioSaigons try to say use metric to calculation the missing water is easy then imperial back use miles back to imperial next lock
@@josecorreia8280 They said the pound was 26km long
Let's see, Fosters lager plus Tories equals.... Bozo! Probably explains the state of the country. Aside from that, it was a lovely vlog, the Peak Forest is a beautiful part of this country, bet you were spoilt for views. And Michael, you are a 'plonker' for not buying the oatcakes, in honour of Trotter's Independent Trading. According to Bozo you should be allowed to move quite soon, we'll all be embracing 'normality' by May/June, just in time for the warm weather. Got my vaccination this week, it will be a relief. Stay safe you three, and surely you can make your own oatcakes, oats, flour, bit of salt, bicarb, some water to bring the dough together....
mr cc also hates noisy roads. where do they get more water for the locks?
That's what the reservoir is for, so until the repairs are complete they have to pump water from the river.
And now we know why they were pumping water into the canal....maybe.
Indeed!
What happens when sharing locks if another boat starts off in between you and the boat you have been going up/down with?
It’s unlikely to happen but if it does then you would probably just work it out between you I guess.
Swizzles makes the sweets called "love hearts"
Didn't they change them a few years ago to 'update' the sentiments for 'today's consumer'? I seem to remember some kind of kerfuffle.
There are worse occupations than a ball chuck-er :).
Very true!
Life is too short to waste it drinking Foster's.
Haha, fair enough! Thank
While I've not been there to verify it myself, I have it on really good authority that Foster's is NOT Aussie for beer. All of the Aussies I know refer to it as something entirely different, resembling a bodily fluid that is the same basic color. Also beginning with the word "f**king", but everything in Australia seems to start with that word.
I’m pretty sure Michael was referencing a Foster’s commercial from the States (years ago) that had the tag line “It’s Australian for beer”.
He was... I was just joking back at him about it.
Aussies don't drink fosters because it's a shit beer.
Fosters - real Aussies don't give a Castlemain 4x for it....
Sound thing like that....
Fosters? Let me put it into terms that most Americans might understand... worse than Bud or Miller Lite. Does that help?
Nobody in Australia would drink it. Awful stuff.
Y ou think dog's are like that, try cats, scratch me feed me GO AWAY. Is the routine. Oh clean that nasty litter box.
