I’ve absolutely loved today’s trip but 2 1/2 hours worth of footage to be condensed down into a 10-20 minutes video is going to be a challenge 😂😂 getting to cruise the boat through a section was definitely a highlight of my day though! I only crashed a couple of times I promise 😂😂

Thanks to Canal & River Trust for giving me an opportunity to explore the incredible Standedge tunnel today, the highest, deepest & longest canal tunnel in these fair isles. The volunteers on site & taking the trip were a credit to the CRT, you can book here

I’ve had a very cool day today in a city that I’m starting to really enjoy. There’s a river and 2 junctions for canals behind me, can anyone name all 3?
May 15, 2025 at 2:07 PM
A couple of locations today for Court Exploring and as usual they have some links to the canal as well. Any guesses on what canal I’m on?

There can't be many canals that have a backdrop this beautiful, we need to fight the water restrictions on the Monmouthshire, Brecon & Abergavenny Canals Trust and support Canal & River Trust to get this saved, an absolutely beautiful section of the canal in Brecon Beacons

Tonight we visit the wonderful Paulton and Timsbury basins on the Coal Canal near to the City of Bath. An area steeped in history with a fantastic project hoping to renovate the terminus of the canal, enjoy!

Go on then let’s see if I can beat you on this one, former canal with railway over the top, to (hopefully) be replaced with a river navigation in the arches behind. Where am I?
March 21, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Today I visited Borrowash on the Derby and Sandiacre Canal, Theres a lovely few miles of canal here and across in Drayton that look so close to being ready, great work from the trust!

Out filming at 630 this morning as this strange bright orb appeared in the sky, what an absolutely beautiful day we have ahead of us
March 18, 2025 at 7:27 AM
A little explore just before it got dark, I arrived a little later than hoped ready for tomorrows filming, I’m hitting a couple of different canals in this area, where am I though?

The start of a bridge! I think it’s time to pop down and make a new pewsham update on the @wiltsberks.bsky.social

I could think of worse places to take the family for a picnic. The beautiful section between Pewsham and Lacock on the @wiltsberks.bsky.social , behind me is a wildflower meadow.

Yes my lunch box is a dog 😂
