    In this vlog, I move on from Fradley Junction, take a sharp 90 degree turn to the right and start heading North West, still on the Trent and Mersey canal, up towards Shugborough. En route, I get a haircut in Rugeley, go past the Staffs and Worcester canal at Great Haywood, and despair of the plastic waste drifting along the canal.

    Did they shave off the hill the tunnel went through to build a road there and just decked over the canal? Looks strange.

    Should install traffic lights at each end of "the narrow bit"......locals probably don't appreciate the fog horn etc.

    The Rugeley cooling towers were demolish a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to witness and recorded the spectacle for your viewing pleasure.

    I really chuckled at your commentary in the "really tight bit" I admit I laughed out loud indeed.

    That will restaurant in the end had me wondering about their menu. Found out sadly they've been closed for over 2 years now and is now reportedly a private home.

    It's official. I am now using your videos instead of my blood pressure medication. Thanks David. As an aside; been trying to come up with a name for a tree lined canal. Came up with 'canavenue'. I think it'll catch on so I've added it to my dictionary. Have a good one.

    Just moored at bridge 69, 4th June 2021 and those power station towers are coming down in 2 days time. They won't be following you next time!

    Being from the US it would be helpful if you would add a map now again. This boating looks like a dream. I’spent 25 years on the water and loved it.

    As a Canadian we do speak English, however not like you do. It is very refreshing to hear English spoken properly and to me, it adds a lot to the overall experience. Thank you.

    That 400 grand home you had in your video could you moor there?

    Boaters everywhere seem to use empty bottles for holding the tarpaulin down. In here, they are normally 1,5 litre juice concentrate bottles.

    When you stop to replenish your water tank, how do you know the quality of the water you're taking on? I would think some of it would have to have a foul taste.
