In this EXCLUSIVE vlog, you'll get to see the Anderton Boat Lift as you've never seen it before! Colin is climbing on top of the Anderton Boat Lift which carries boats between the Trent and Mersey Canal and the River Weaver. Then we'll take narrowboat Silver Fox down the lift on to the River Weaver.
With exclusive access to all areas of the Anderton Boat Lift you'll see exactly how it works, discover it's history, and get to see the lift as you've NEVER seen it before!
Drones are not normally permitted to fly over, or close to, the Anderton Boat Lift. We were given prior permission to capture aerial footage after providing the Canal & River Trust with the appropriate proof of licensing, certification, and liability insurance.
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

Brilliant, professional video as ever guys. That wasn't a vlog, it was to the standards of a TV documentary and the camera work was just brilliant. Well, well done. Interesting fact for you - Back in the 1800s, Caissons were metal tanks that surrounded the supports of river bridges that were being built. They were lowered into the water and the water pumped out of them to allow men to work on the river/lake bed. To stop them filling up again, they were sealed at the top and kept pressurised by pumping in air to sufficient pressure to stop the water seeping back in; the workers entering and leaving through an airlock at the top. Staying in the pressurised environment all the working day led to the workers suffering decompression sickness when they came back to normal pressure, otherwise know as the bends. That was the first time that the bends had ever been observed and led, eventually, to the development of the decompression theory that divers still use to keep safe today. The original name of the condition was "Caissons Disease" and that is still occaisionally used when discussing decompression sickness. "The bends" was a nickname for the condition based on the literal bending double of sufferers when they were gripped by pain as the compressed gas they had absorbed came out of solution and spontaneously formed bubbles in the body when they returned to normal pressures too quickly. (All in one sudden drop in those days!) There you go, that's two minutes you'll never get back again :)

Wonderful to watch. I am from Canada , we also have a lift lock. The Peterborough Lift Lock built in 1904, is a boat lift located on the Trent Canal in the city of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and is Lock 21 on the Trent-Severn Waterway. For many years, the lock's dual lifts were the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world, raising boats 65 ft. Googel it to find out more. Keep up with the adventures guys, and always have fun.

I don't know if KZfaq has awards for individual vlogs but this one deserves one. What a fantastic 16 minutes of camera work, information and great mix of you fellas and CRT staff presenting it. I've seen a few vlogs of the working of the boat lift - the Naughty Lass passed through recently on the way to a dry dock on the Weaver - but this has set a new standard. Hard to believe it was all pulled together in 48 hours and full credit to everyone involved. As a regular dog walker around Anderton Nature reserve and the Flashes, I'm keeping everything crossed we get some views from the river in the coming week! Keep on doing what you do fellas.

The gears are quieter and more efficient than the straight cut type and the Citroen company used them in their early days. They are the origin of the stylised `double chevron` badge on their cars.

This had to be the best thing to see. When you deliver a scoop you do it in spades. I'm not saying your other vlogs aren't great, but this with my fascination of engineering is a rush. Thank you for taking us on the journey.

They were pretty audacious back in the day. I can just imagine the conversation, "We need to get narrow boats up and down here". "Don't be stupid, its impossible". "Hold my beer!" Great vlog thanks for all the extra information like the visitors center, had no idea that was there.

Another brilliant video and the drone footage was the icing. Loved the history and so impressive for the time it was originally built (although given all the aqueducts and other structures that were built back then I shouldn’t be surprised).

That...was...AMAZING!! 😍 Colin, I am always (and increasingly) impressed with your "soundtrack" choices. Really, really beautiful touch. And how funny to remark that you are feeling so buzzed that Shaun couldn't get a word in edgewise--like there's ever been a problem with him talking over you (except in "Take 2")! Shaun--I see you. 😍
