At the end of a very warm day in June, I set off from Shugborough to Great Haywood, turning there onto the Staffs & Worcester canal because from there down to Autherley is a section of canal I've never done before. I moored at Tixall Wide - beautiful - and then headed on around Stafford before being perplexed at what people have at the end of their gardens in Acton Trussell.

It's been pointed out to me that the mannequins might be something to do with this: www.theguardian.com/artanddes...

Do you have to pay for the water and facilities (garage and sewer dump)?

Winding hole and its pronuncation must be related to wenden, to change, in German.

I like watching how you work the locks, very informational.

I am surprised people don't just drop anchor at that wide spot.

With the cratch(sp) up front does it restrict airflow down the length the boat's interior?

I'm watching.......again. I've watched as your blogs come out and if I need to settle down for whatever reason, I watch you again. Thank you for being you.

Got a little too involved in this video when you pass the guy in the boat at the end of the video I nodded my head like I was actually acknowledging him through the phone 🤣

This video is of newfound interest to me, as I've just completed a week on a hire boat and I went along this very stretch of canal! Lovely seeing it from another's perspective. Tixall Wide is a gem of the canal.

I like your one person lock, it's helpful info. Slow & go

Do you put out fenders, when in the locks? To stop the boat scraping the brickwork.

Yeah! You’ve just travelled through my neck of the woods. I take my dog walking over the fields by the canal river link being built. Love your channel.
