    We did this cruise several times from Anderton.We used to moor just before the lock. One time we actually did the walk up to the castle -really good castle and we enjoyed it. On the way back the mother and father of all storms hit us! We had to shelter under the trees and it was thunder and lightning,to boot with torrential rain plus high wind. Within minutes of us reaching the boat the sun was shining brightly and have a photo of John on the towpath cleaning the copper! Again another of our favourite cruises.

    Thanks guys for another great vlog. I think it was a good idea to have help on the locks it looks tricky getting in with two boats. The weather still looks great over there in fact today here was really warm too wish it would stay like that but probably not a chance. I think Dexter had the right idea to cool down laying in the grass he’s so smart. Have a good week and we’ll be looking forward to the next vlog😊😎😎

    Lovely Video as usual. It's great to have help I'm sure. The staircase lock with 2 one way and one the other was really interesting. We're not intending to have bow thrusters but they are probably very useful in situations like that. Thanks again!

Just yesterday, he actually walked across one of those beams. 1st time in 2 years bless him. I am the same in a car. People can be crazy. Absolutely loved the Bridgewater and some of the skies were spectacular. We lived in a light polluted area too so it is amazing to see dark skies.

    Great to have a week of cruising not thinking about work.

Seemed quite busy at the locks, plus a queue but as you say time to natter to other like minded people. The Bunbury shuffle worked well. Nice to see Dexter quite a bit, bless him for knowing the route he likes to take to get from one lock side to the other. And more nice weather in this vlog. Happy cruising to you three xxx

Just cross the bridge by the pub, and the gate to the path is just around the bend in the road. Fantastic way to approach the Castle.

    Hi Paul, Anthony and Dexter Dog. What a lovely Vlog again this week. Always love the opening Chat, even though Paul sometimes repeats what Anthony has said, which always makes me smile. Great cruising, and well done Anthony navigating through some narrow channels under bridges. Paul was on top form calling Anthony "Road Rage Page". Great timing getting the train to pass over on the bridge as you approached same. Loving the way Dexter avoided the scary narrow ledge across the lock, and decided to walk around, I would have done the same myself. Dexter is such a clever Dog. So nice to see Dexter enjoying a nice refreshing Doggy Ice Cream. That staircase lock was very interesting, although very confusing as the way one had to navigate it, but well done guys you did it really well. On a technical point, I love the way Paul positions his on screen titles to the left of the screen. This looks so professional, going to adopt that technique on my videos (if I may). And finally, I was amazed and very impressed to see/hear that Anthony is fluent in "Duck" (language). A very professional produced Vlog. Thank you guys. Have a great week. Take care.
