Was a bit scary when you could see how far underground you were and all the water coming down. Ducky looked so cute lit up in there and Wes and his singiing must of helped you stay calm. Best wishes, stay safe.👍🙋🛥️🍙

Cleaning up pee and poo is certainly a big part of boating and it really becomes normal after a while. Another great vlog xxx

    OMG! Stu and Emmie (Bobbing Along) did a similar tunnel recently. I'm claustrophobic so there is no way I could have done that, I would have walked ... no matter how many miles lol 😅. My late husband Terry was a caver, pot holing mainly in The Yorkshire Dales and he loved the the extreme pitch blackness. The music and atmospheric filming was brilliant, well done you two. And Rufus 🐶 was so brave, bless him 🐾🐾.
    Sending love, light and blessings. Take care xx

    I don't know if it was the same with the canal tunnels but by the time the Navvies started digging long train tunnels they used to sink the shafts at the start then men went down them so they could work on faces not just from either end but also from the middle as well saving time.

    • @sallyu1
