Ep18 A Sweet Tooth & a Buggy Basin

Continuing the journey along the picturesque Upper Peak Forest Canal. A lovely day for cruising to a place I have always hoped to visit, Bugsworth Basin. A reminder of my childhood brought back by the smell of New Mills.

Thanks Steve. The area in and around Bugsworth Basin is beautiful. I can only imagine how different it was 200 odd years ago!

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Yes its a very atmospheric spot

[@robelliott8061]

Thanks Steve.

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

You're welcome

[@pilpelet100]

Thanks. Very enjoyable.

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Thank you, pleased you are enjoying my journey

[@rubbberrobbie]

Nice one Steve. Bugsworth Basin looks a great place to visit. I kind of like the time lapse footage in the vlog.

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Yes Buggy Basin is a great place to visit, even by road. So atmospheric. Shame the pub wasnt open at the time because of Covid-19. It was once owned by Pat Phoenix of Coronation Street fame

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

I like to be able to switch into higher speed in post production rather than record in it.

[@rubbberrobbie]

Slow Boat Through Britain. Pat Phoenix - that dates us 🙈. I didn’t know that she had a real pub.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Another very nice video I must say. I believe were I were to visit England again I would obtain a hire-boat and give this a try. Thanks

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Go for it. You wouldnt regret it. Decent weather helps of course

[@mickpatton617]

Great vlog steve very informative .

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Thanks Mick, Pleased you enjoyed it

Hi Steve... pleased to see you are well.... thanks for sharing this lovely cruise... I have to agree with you the aconstruction works of yore are amazing especially when you take their age into account... how many of todays structures will still be around in 200 years... looking forward to the return trip... keep safe... unmtil the next one...

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Thank Mike, I am still blown away by how the canals were built with manpower alone. Picks, shovels & wheelbarrows

[@eastcoast4233]

Thank you. This was lovely. Beautiful views. Polite suggestion - bit lower volume when engine sound, higher volume for voice over? To hear you speaking means engine sounds loud between voiceovers to me. I really look forward to seeing you other videos in the future :)

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Thank you for your comment. Still trying to get the sound balance right

[@caroldemulder236]

Sweets reminded me of my childhood happy memories x

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Same here. The air was sugary sweet as I passed the factory.

[@bruceschaefer1467]

Sprinting like a greyhound I see! What place (that I would have heard of) are you near?

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Hi Bruce, its all a bit rural. Marple & Whaley Bridge are the 2 largest towns
Just NW of Buxton

[@Dayla1960]

Very nice Steve, I liked to time lapse bit too.
Have always been on the boat, all your life?

[@slowboatthroughbritain]

Hi Dale, I moved on to the boat when I retired 18 months ago. But known the canals for ever. Its inthe blood. Tracing my family tree I found my father's family were boat people

[@jamesfblaisjr]

Your good video footage is lessened by the NRG music that is so very inappropriate for and incongruent with SLOW, relaxed cruising. Nature and engine sounds are much preferred by this viewer.
LIKE given nevertheless....

Many thanks for the comment James. I do try to vary it. Trying to please everyone I suppose
