  1. 3.30am where I am and grateful you're helping to keep me awake… can't risk going to sleep again otherwise I'll miss my 5 o'clock pick up for the airport… 😴😬 I was a bit late getting my AirPods in my ears, so I'd like to apologise to whoever's in the next room to me… they heard a very loud "Mavis! Mavis!" before it went quiet again… 🤭🤣🤣

  2. Top of the morning to you Will, hope ya alright me old duck, lot of rain lately lad, soon be summer and you can enjoy ya pottering about on the water, I rekon you should advertise your boating skills and give potential new boaters lessons and advice, can't argue with your skills laddo, have a good un me old.

  3. Hi will . Unfortunately the manufacturing ability in this country has been removed..by successive governments over the years.
    Even down to producing our own energy supply.we are now reliant on other countries for our needs.
    What took centuries to achieve has taken a few decades to destroy.
    Anyway will there is nothing more to say about your videos other than brilliant they have always been very informative and interesting to watch.
    I'm really glad to see that you and your family are all safe and well..
    Will I found over the years that there are sections of canal that don't appear on any maps . Especially in industrial areas.of the north east. ???
    These are hidden gems . mainly built to transport armaments .???
    What I liked about them is that you never see the c r t . Checking how long you have been there..??.
    Anyway will keep smiling mate. Filthy thumbs up.👍👍👍 ,,

  4. As a wannabe solo boater (money… saving up), out of all the things to think about, my biggest concern is having to manage the big, busy lift bridges on my own! Holding traffic up for so long while the bridge opens, running back to the boat, unmooring, passing the bridge, then mooring up again before legging it back to the bridge to lower it! Is it a worry over nothing? Or is a windlass in hand to protect against angry, impatient motorists needed? 😂

  5. What that stretch needs is a "Shoot here" sign. 😂 I live about a mile from the 5 rise locks in Bingley. (Skipton side). I can see the canal from my kitchen window.

  6. Great vlog again Will 👍🏻 hope you got across the Ribble safely 👍🏻 it’s meant to be a nice day tomorrow 🤞🏻☀️🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
