Continuing my journey up the Trent & Mersey canal, this time I go through Stone in Stafforshire and its assorted locks before arriving at Barlaston for the night ahead of the trip through Stoke on Trent the next day.

Note to the BBC - give this guy his own show, it would play in the US too. You could do little side trips on land to bring in the history crowd. You are a natural. Interview some of the lock tenders, get into the pubs and such. If I had your temperament, and equipment, that's what I'd do. Curious as to who pays to maintain all those locks, they all seem to be very leaky.

Thank you. The canal network is maintained, as far as they can on limited funds, by the Canal and River Trust which is a charity (to which all boaters pay an annual licence fee)

I'm a random college student in the U.S. and just happened to stumble upon your videos and they are so amazing for background noise while studying, although I find myself getting distracted by the beautiful scenery and architecture. I know I absolutely nothing about narrowboating but I find it fascinating. Hopefully I can take a ride on one when I visit England one day. Keep up the good work!

Here in Phoenix, the Western Desert is about to live and breathe at 45 degrees! Actually more- closer to 47 (117 for my fellow Americans) So, we jump in the pool and come inside with the AC, then fire up KZfaq and vicariously enjoy the English countryside and canals- where it is (or at least was a few weeks ago) cool enough to wear a fluffy hat! I'm pretty sure you will be saving a life.....Thanks for all the wonderful vlogs!!!

Hi David, I see the Canadians have been very generous in sharing their geese with England as well as the US. I think in our case they came south for the winter and decided they liked the weather and decided to stay. Thanks Canada but that's enough. We have hundreds on every golf course in Phoenix. Love your videos.

Truly beautiful scenery in this installment, as there is in so many others. I watched this one, then immediately clicked 'replay' and watched it through again. A few years ago, I learned of the German word "Fernweh," which loosely translated means " longing or homesickness for a place to which you've never been." Not until I became a subscriber to your channel did I fully understand. Your canals have become that for me. Thank you for showing a part of the UK that the average American never gets to see. Most of us don't even know the canals exist, let alone have any knowledge of that slow-motion way of life. Time to binge watch from episode #1 again.

I love your videos David. Good job. I use an adblocker when I watch so you do not get any money from the ones I actually watch. I am ashamed to admit I never thought of removing the adblocker and just letting your videos run until I saw someone else comment about doing that. So now I take the adblocker off and run your videos at 2X speed at night while I sleep. I ran through 1-94 last night with the ads running. I will restart watching today at about 195 where I am at present with the adblocker on. Then tonight it is back to no adblocker so you can earn a bit of money.

Another beautiful video, as always, David. Those pinwheels along the fields serve 2 purpose, 1, they are pretty, 2, they cause an underground vibration that is supposed to annoy burrowing critters, like gophers, etc., to keep them away from the roots of plants. I am not sure how effective they are, but here in the States, many farm stores and garden centers sell them for that reason. :)

You could start a new trend amongst the boaters! Plant a pinwheel along the bank each time to moor up in a 48 hour spot. Write the date on one of the petals. It would add color to the banks of the canals, and give other boaters something to wonder about if they are not aware of the new trend! LOL

One of the many reasons I enjoy your videos - you always have 2 days in a vlog (i.e say 'good morning' twice), away from the unwritten rule that says that vlogs are always (and must be made) daily, like a 'dear dairy'. It gives me the illusion that the video is very long, but it's actually only 10-15 minutes each, great job!

looking how calm the water was reminded me of when we lived in northern illinois on the chain of lakes. you would be on the water all weekend with guests and family and friends along with a ton of other boats--and literally some days whitecaps on the water. but come monday morning, when all the weekenders had gone home, you would go out on the water and it was like a sheet of glass. brought back some great memories.

David the easiest way to remove bird poo is a garden sprayer full of water, simply spray it to soften it then go back and spray it off the roof or solar panels and down the side of the boat. I use to own a black car and I am sure birds hated black as it was a regular target. Leaving it on was deadly with paint of that era and it was the easiest and most hygienic way to remove it. 🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜 Also I think all the Morris Minors are here there are quite a few very active clubs here. 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

Another reason to not moor under trees is that in the autumn they drop nuts. If a nut hits a brass roof vent it goes “ PING”. We call them ping trees. One of the worst areas for this is just the Rugely side of Wolsey Bridge.

Yey another wonderful episode of your journey. Your lock-working skills are now legendary I guess. The video was superb. Thank you

I suppose you might have looked into this, but ever think of using an electric trolling motor which can be lifted off to place on either port or stbd at the bow to help you work against the wind? Of course with control back aft. UPDATE: Sorry to say it isn't very cheap or practical to have a small motor. For a boat your size, you'd have to have a tunnel thruster at the bow & from a few forums I visited, it'd be £2700 + to buy & install it...maybe more. Still, it would be an experiment to see if a small portable motor could be fitted the bow to assist in keeping the boat straight on a windy day.

Yes, very costly and largely unnecessary - please see my website FAQ page, cheers

I'm enjoying your videos. I was in Worcester last year and loved the long boats in the area. Fascinating 😉

Thank you. Just a tip though: they're not longboats. That's what the Vikings used to roam around in. These are narrowboats :-)

Between the locks and the many boats to avoid along the way, I sense that narrowboating is no longer such an obvious escape from the stresses of sedentary lifestyle...

Another lovely addition to the vlog David! I always look forward to your postings. It is so relaxing to sit and watch your travels through this wonderful countryside. Shame I never went to the UK when I was stationed in Germany 88-90. I did a lot of training with your countrymen at Bergen-Hohne Garrison. Great times!
