Join us as we take a spooky narrowboat journey through Harecastle Tunnel on the Trent & Mersey canal. Are the rumours about the Kidsgrove Boggart true? Can you spot the ghost of the Harecastle Tunnel? 👻
Continuing our adventure exploring Britain by Narrowboat, we start the day at Westport Lake, cruising the short distance to the south portal of Harecastle Tunnel. Colin takes a look at the history of both canal tunnels, the original, built by James Brindley, and the current tunnel, built by Thomas Telford, and investigates the giant fans used to clear the tunnel of fumes. Then we take narrowboat Silver Fox through Harecastle Tunnel!
Many thanks to the Canal and River Trust for the historic images of Harecastle Tunnel.

You have now brought back another memory for me. It would have been in 1949 when I was with a group of scouts and we had an old ship's lifeboat which we used on the Peak Forest and Macclesfield canals. We took the boat onto the Trent and Mersey and to the Harecastle tunnel. You mention James Brindley and he had a connection to Marple - there is a Brindley Avenue there. You also mention spooky stories and one might be from when we arrived at the tunnel - we had to wait to go through the tunnel while a group of watermen pulled a corpse from the canal just near the entrance. We must have gone through the old tunnel but we did not have to 'leg it' because we got a tow behind a narrowboat. Thanks for another memory. Alan Parkinson

Terrific and fascinating video, fellas. Fantastic and relatable narration that casually demonstrates the hard work of research you've clearly put in. You both really have a gift for this and have chosen the right path to my mind. One really has to marvel at the ingenuity, engineering and construction skills of the people involved in such ventures in the Victorian era. Britain really must have been on top of her game and genuinely world beating at the time. Perhaps that why 'The War Of The Worlds' is my favourite book. Triggered and angered by the needless and cruel slaughter of helpless Tasmanians by the British army in his time, Welles pondered what it would be like if the same happened to Britain and despite all her innovation and achievement she was utterly impotent and useless when faced by this new, exotic and technically superior enemy. A clever contemporary moral comment that still chills. I'm rambling. Your intrepidness and lust for life puts the vast majority of us to shame. Even if only for my sake, keep it up and keep us posted.

Love your honesty and your senses of humour and great positivity. Your beautifully presented episodes from the reflections, choice of music and the very informative history lessons have saved me from having to visit.

Thank you for taking us through the tunnel, your second trip through. I am sure that once would be enough for me, I am a bit claustrophobic and the walls and ceiling seemed to be closing in! You are very brave to do this twice!!

Another great video. Love the time lapses. I suspect I would have to walk round the tunnel. Seems claustrophobic ... if one is so inclined.

That's the most informative Harecastle Tunnel video we've seen. We went north to south through it in June in our hire boat. We lead a convoy of 5 boats through it at 8 o'clock in the morning.
