One of my favorite things about this channel is that I can follow along with google maps and see the areas that you are talking about from there
-
Ahhhhh that's better. After a stressful week your vlog has restorative properties. They always do. The scenery is truly stunning. Thank you for sharing
-
Thanks for another moment of escapism, worth every minute of the editing.

When I need to unwind and relax I was a few episodes of Cruising The Cut. Lovely and often beautiful. Great narration!!! - Terry Mengle USA.

Loving the vlog; have just binge watched them all (Between jobs right now). Originally from Wolverhampton we used to play down the cut as kids (around Aldersley Junction). Family were bargees (father's mother and 3 generations prior), Used to take coal to the Cadbury factory in Bourneville. Am now sadly marooned here in a country without any canals; New Zealand. Your vlog has made me homesick but have also fed my, possibly epigenetic, desire to see English canals. Take care, Andrew.

11:58 - I half expected to see Old Mister Bilbo lounging in the shade having a smoke of "Old Toby" in his pipe.

For some reason I always find your vlogs very relaxing. Thank you.

I love to relax with a cup of Joe and take in the bucolic, pastoral scenery. It just doesn't get old. Thanks David! ~Eric

New subscriber…Your channel is fascinating to me for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on. Sometimes the YT magic does find the right content/right creator to give you what you didn’t know you needed.

3:03 the topless gent with the cup of tea in one hand and the rope in the other... what a power move
-
Your sense of humor gives me the giggles

"...not to worry, there's a man balancing on plank over to the right..." 😂

A flock of cows David? Oh deary me, and then a pack? I always thought cows were a herd, but never mind, LOL! Another great vlog as usual!
-
Very enjoyable. The stretch of canal with the verdant overhanging trees and greenery lit by morning light was truly wonderful. Reminded me somewhat of the spirit of an early Cezanne painting.

I was on the canals long ago in the 60s. I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were far far fewer narrowboats and liveaboards on the canals back then and our 30ft cruiser had a marinised A45 engine and ran on petrol. The problem with petrol engines is that fumes gather in the bottom of the boat and there is always a danger of explosions. So you gotta be careful. I have always longed to go back on the canals, but the problem is that many other things took priority. I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, the lock style gate you mentioned is one of a pair, the other being at the “congested” bridge as you left your moorings and are designed to swing shut in the event of the aqueduct breeching.
