- We almost get halted as a narrowboater tries breaking and entering a damaged lock, then get's violent, resulting in the Police being called at Kings Langley!
After the faff, we drop by Waterways Experiences on the Grand Union Canal to check out their disabled accessible boats and talk to some of the volunteers.
Colin discovers the story of the Ovaltine factory, the local paper mills, and why there's a Lock 69A on the way to Hemel Hempstead.

Great to see someone talking about a charity without coming across as patronising , well done to all those people involved.
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
I’m a volunteer crew member with Waterways Experiences and have just watched this for the first time - thank you for visiting us! It’s such an amazing charity and so many people have the opportunity to enjoy the canal and have a new experience. Thank you Colin, Shaun and Otis!
Totally our pleasure! It was lovely to meet some of the volunteers 👍🏻
I enjoy your historical asides. I enjoy your hysterical asides even more.
😂😂
Agreed. I am a history fan and my mother was from the United kingdom. I've never actually been there. It is too long a story for CZcams and too private as to why.
@@FoxesAfloat love love love your videos keep them coming
How lucky am I? I receive my new 2021 calendar on the same day that a new Floxes Afloat Vlog comes out. Very blest indeed. TARDIS... Always bigger on the inside. Xoxoxo
Yes!❤️
Otis, there are two blokes that keep talking over you, but don't worry I'm sure nobody else has noticed them .....
🤯
That was very thoughtful of you two to introduce everyone to the boats set for the handicap to enjoy. I am sure your little info spot is going to end up bringing a lot of joy to so many. By the by, Otis is so cute and growing like a weed.
Thanks, Mark. Yeah, he's lanky right now and got folds of skin everywhere 😂
Thank you for this. As a disabled viewer, I've always wondered what my options were in relation to narrow boating. I'll be looking up Waterways Experiences and seeing when I can book a trip. Thank you gents. Thank you for this video.
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
You lads are now my new favourite CZcams channel. Both funny and informative and with just enough double entendres for a a good belly laugh, (something we all need every day.) Long may you keep us entertained guys, ✌❤ Bob.
WOW! Thank you so much Robert. Glad you're enjoying this madness ❤️
Excellent job promoting 'The Waterways Experience'. Things like that are never something you think about until you run into them headlong, like how would someone in a wheelchair get down those stairs. Cheers Otis!
Thanks, Ian !
Otis seems to have taken command of the good ship, Silver Fox. A real character, which you would expect, as the rest of the crew are characters, in their own rights. Thank you gentlemen, for a brilliant video. I must admit the Ovaltiney song, took me right back to my early childhood. Keep up the good work chaps, as always, onwards and upwards!!
Thanks, Bob!
Lovely to see you guys took the time to stop at Waterways Experience and show what a brilliant charity they are and the incredible work they do. They've been going a good few years now and have made so many people very happy. Ive been volunteering for them for the last 2 years and its an amazing experience. To see the smiles on the faces of people at the end of their trips, wether it be a day trip or longer makes it all worth it..thank you to you both for helping to put the word out there about Waterway Experiences.
Our pleasure. They do a greta job and deserved some positive exposure 👍🏻
“While you’re down there....” Don’t think that went unnoticed! 😂 Or that Shaun likes his tummy tickled. Hats off to all the volunteers at Waterways Experiences. Thanks for the vlog.
My shoe laces were untied 😂
Thank you for featuring the accessible boats. Great work by the volunteers bringing canal based joy to those who would otherwise be denied it.
Otis is so cute, nearly as cute as Shaun :-)
Our pleasure!
Guys that was an absolutely splendid vlog, it just oozed pure joy, it made me smile and laugh so much... The feature on the disability boats was brilliantly informative and so good that you highlighted it as more of us out here need to know about something so inclusive, and clearly the volunteers love what they do... Lovely to catch up with Otis, he clearly adores the two of you and vice versa.... London was an adventure, but it's great to see you and Silverfox back on the beautiful canals... Home x
It's great to be back on the canals 😉
The return of Otis !! Honestly the two of you make me smile so much with your cheeky humor. See ya next week, be well.
You too. Thanks, Heather!
Well done guys ... Using your network to provide exposure to a great charity like waterways experience is wonderful 👍😎
Thanks, David!
Just changed my amazon smile to support the charity. Brilliant to enable disabled kids to get in the water. Thanks lads.
Cheers, Gary! I'm sure they'll appreciate this 👍🏻
Thank you for stopping and spending some time with the boats designed for people with special abilities
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
Loved to find out I could take myself on a boat trip. So many thanks from blue (my powered wheelchair) and me. Otis is so so cute. He has grown. Toilet trained.. yay not nothing but fun times now. Have missed you all.
Our pleasure!
@@FoxesAfloat You guys have made my day. :) Off to watch the BUMP vlog. Just had to say huge thanks.
You guys are absolutely amazing. Taking time to visit, and speak with, the Waterways Experience group is way beyond what most people would. The free advertising they are getting from you will, hopefully, widen their circle of friends. Big cheer for the Foxes and Hound. 🤣
Hopefully! 👍🏻👍🏻
My deep thank yous for featuring disability access to canalboats. You have just provided a much needed voice. Thank you again!
No problem.
Lads,
I have multiple sclerosis, and need to use a Rollator in order to get around. I have admired the narrow boating experience through videos like yours, but I always felt that it was beyond my physical limitations. Thank you for dispelling that misconception. Keep up the good work.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thankyou for bringing us on your adventures . Otis is growing so fast . ❤ love to all of you . As always stay safe and I look forward to next Friday 😊
Thanks so much
Loved the story about the Waterways Experience. It warms my heart that the volunteers provide such a wonderful service. And yes, I was looking at Otis whenever he was on the screen.
It is nice to see people volunteer for people who may not get this kind of experience.
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💜💜💜
Wonderful vlog! Bless the folks at Waterways Experiences and the great work they are doing! Can’t believe how big Otis has gotten. He is soooo cute! Stay safe and healthy and many pats for Otis!
Thanks!
Lovely of you to spend time promoting the brilliant work done by Waterways Experience.
They sound like a great little outfit.
They are!
Thank you so much for the segment about Waterways Experience. What a great group. I appreciate that you shared information about their program and how to get involved.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for showing how handicapped people can enjoy narrowboats also.. Seem to be a great organization.
They really are!
It pains me to hear you describe yourself as unemployable. Your research, storytelling, production and editing are amazing. You are extraordinarily talented and it shows. I wish I had you on my team - but I can't afford to hire anyone at the moment. You worked in radio, if they had moved you into special projects, with a schedule that could be flexible around your health, you would have produced great value for your employer, as you are for the viewers of Foxes Afloat. What is missing is employers who are willing to make the job fit the talents, abilities and needs of the employee, instead of insisting that the person fit the job. My office has been accommodating the needs of a valued colleague with physical health problems, that result in her needing days off without notice, unusual work schedules, at times reduced hours around her pain and medical appointments. It has been so worth it to have her talents on our team. We need to work on employers attitudes. This year has opened the eyes of a lot of employers on accommodating health needs. We need to push that envelope.
Yeah, I had a fantastic job in commercial radio but the boss had zero understanding of ASD and the traits that come with it. Listener figures went through the roof while I was there and dived when I left, which I guess says something.
@@FoxesAfloat You have made a great job for yourself with Foxes Afloat, your former employer lost a lot of talent.
I have to tell you, i thoroughly enjoyed this. It touched my heart when you took us with you to see the Canal boats that can accommodate people with disabilities . To know that they can accommodate wheel chairs and much more is so amazing.. Hats off to all the volunteers there also. Now for that little cutie pie Otis, i just loved when he took off up the stairs on the boat. You really need to make him and Instagram page. He would have so many people following him. Sending hugs from still HOT Las Vegas.
Wow, thank you!
Otis, Otis! We love Otis! (And your videos are terrific, too!)
Thanks so much!
And your names again? Help me out here Otis. 😋 Seriously, after a very hard week you guys bring a smile to my face, and it happens every week and I'm so grateful for it, thank you! Hugs and kisses to you both!
Our pleasure! Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
Thank you for showing us Waterways Experiences. I have a disabled daughter and am happy to see an organization dedicated to giving them a chance to experience narrowboating. Great interview!
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
Otis is so cute!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing him and yourselves with us. I look forward to you videos. What a wonderful program for the disabled .
Thanks. They do a fantastic job!
Waterways experiences for all looks to be absolutely fantastic
They do a great job!
I volunteer for them, I love it. Everyone that comes on board leaves with a huge smile !
I think it’s lovely that Otis allows you to be in his vlog. Excellent today guys and well done advertising the boating for disabled people. Just love your commentating Carolex
Thank you! xxx
What a great idea, canal boats for disabled passengers-a wonderful crew of volunteers! Thank you for hi-lighting the program.
Our pleasure!
What a great vlog ,first you charm us with Otis,. My my he's really grown and looks to be a barrel of fun .Then we have the Ovaltine segment ,I love it hot or cold Then the segment about the Boat experience for handicapped kids. A very worthy cause.
So thanks Colin & Shaun for another all dancing all singing Silver Fox show
Thank you!
That's a great thing ye did there lads advertising and highlighting the canal boat experience for the disabled, love to see this type of stuff, ye have immense reach now and that kid will be delighted to hear there is a facility for him and others like him, love to see it, networking, reaching out and building relationships, that's what i call being aware of one's surroundings, it didn't cost you anything, it's a win, win all round....i ve only being following this for about a week now and i am glued to it, and i am not a canal boat enthusiast, wouldn't have the slightest inkling to do it but who would've known this was such riveting stuff, you're interrupting my sleeping patterns here, whilst your watching Netflix back to back i have your playlists rolling out lol, you just keep getting better and better in terms of broadcast quality and presentations, Annika rice watch out, do you remember her with the jumpsuits and her huur lol, any way keep it up, keep sticking your flute in the water there lol more, more, more, stay safe lads. it really is true what they say if you build it they will come, or in this case watch, its inspiring.
Hey Paddy. Thanks mate!
You two fellers are awesome! Glad to see Otis back in action! He is quite a popular puppers!
Haha! He really is.
Thanks so much for sharing Waterways Experiences with your viewers! I have known many physically disabled kids in my teaching career and I know how much having such an exciting experience would mean to them! It is fantastic when a new door is opened for people. I don't get to the UK often, but if I ever come over with a disabled friend, I know what we'll plan to do!
They fo a fantastic job! 👍🏻
We have a charity narrow boat where i live its called Beatrice its on the caldon canel in north Staffordshire. And its been altered to take handicapped children for a trip up and down the canal. Its used by 15 schools across Staffordshire and stoke on trent how brilliant it is to see them laughing and waving has they sail by. They love it.
Great info on the boats for the disabled!! I'm in a wheelchair and travelled by canal boat 2 years ago and I LOVED IT!! It was so relaxing!! I also love you telling the history of the areas you travel through as I'm an American living in the UK for 20+ years!! Love your channel!! xoxo
Thank you so much!
as we came home from oure holliday for a week in a welness bungalow, we got a reminder that oure fav narrowboaters posted a new vlog so i rushed to the pc and watched the show . we loved it guys take care .
Thanks so much guys!
Hello you 3 . So glad you stopped at WEXP as I’m one of the volunteers. Officially I’m senior crew for Sheldrake 3 and I love it. I’m one of the 150 volunteers. But my history with the Grand Union goes way back , my mum worked T the Ovaltine factory and we lived within 500 yds of the Factory and my dear dads allotment was directly oppotise the Factory (brilliant soil ) . . Our charity is such a good cause so I would encourage all my fellow viewers of your channel to just donate a small amount to keep us going. There’s lots of us out there so a small amount each could make a huge difference. It’s a great charity xxxx
We had a great time and you're all amazing! We moored right outside those allotments near the old factory 👍🏻👍🏻
What a wonderful thing, the disabled access boats! Great job getting the word out to the public.
Thanks, Max!
Yep was watching Otis all the time 😍🐶. What a marvellous charity Waterways Experiences is. Thank you for taking the time to show us around. It is so easy to forget that as able bodied people we take so much for granted. Stay safe boys ❤️❤️
Our pleasure!
Great vlog guys, it’s so nice to see the boats for disabilities, love your dog ❤️🐾🐾xxxx
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Colin, Shaun & the adorable Otis, Loved this! 👍 How heartwarming to hear about Waterways Experiences, thank you for sharing! Please give Otis lots of cuddles for me 💖 Take really good care...stay well! Much love!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Waterways Experience...absolutely brilliant! What a great service to offer. Thank you for sharing their offerings. You both do such an amazing job sharing history, stories, and services. 👏👏👏👏💞
Glad you enjoyed it, Penny!
Fantastic you guys! I am disabled & this really is heartwarming. Many thanks for telling us about this xx
No problem 💜
Great videos! I love the clarity explanation of the history, the education and places you both visit. The way you speak is very clear and understandable in every level that all your viewers truly understand. Is brilliant! You both are brilliant and wonderful people that gives positive input on life and personal goals. As a compliment: I would not be surprise if in near future a TV producer may offer you a job to join their team as a travel journalist advisor. That is how good you are! Please keep up the great work! I enjoy every video and vlog you offer. Best wishes to you both. Anthony A. from the USA. : )
Hehe! Thanks, Anthony! I've had a few TV offers but not interested as I'm not really employable due to my autistic traits. Quite happy doing our own thing on here 👍🏻
welcome back Otis. You are luscious (and your daddies are too!)
😉 🥰
Gentlemen, you too are a pretty amazing. Your videos do more than show us a travelog by opening yourselves and your lives up to us. This project for children with disabilities is important work. Keep it all up.
Our pleasure!
What a amazing charity, made me feel so proud to see. It takes very special people to volunteer in a job like that. Absolutely awesome 👏
Couldn't agree more!
Great vlog guys, a bit of everything, always love the history bits. And, oh my dog, Otis! ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it
You guys took me back in time about 52 years with Ovaltine. I remember it well back in the 60s. Now I'm on the hunt for it! Great video!
Our pleasure!
I look forward to your vlogs: they make me chuckle! My husband asks what I'm laughing at - I tell him - and he says, 'So?' Keep up the good work, lads!
Love that!
I have passed this episode along to my brother in law who loved boats and he was the person to take me on narrowboat trips with him and his late wife. He is disabled from a stroke and I thought he'd like this.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loved showing the disabled company, and the history of the areas - wonderful stuff.
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
Gosh Otis is growing so fast, thank you for sharing your travels, always look forward to Friday, take care. What a lovely group with the accessible boats, just brilliant.
Thank you! You too!
I was born and raised in the Boxmoor area. Went to school in King Langley. I knew the Grand Union very well .
A friend and I made history by dying the Canal with a fluorescent sea dye obtained from an abandoned US Airforce base.
We dumped pounds and pounds of the stuff near the Fishery Inn and it went all the way south to the Thames and out to the
ocean. It was on Telly over 50 years ago .I've lived in the States for over 40 years now :-)
Keep up the good work, guys.
Loads about Boxmoor, the Fishery Inn next week 😉
@@FoxesAfloat Thanks Guys, looking forward to it. I was in London last October and took the train from Euston to Boxmoor (now Hemel Hempstead) to meet up with some relatives.
Great vlog, professional standard. Chichester canal has a couple boats with ramps and lifts in order that disabled persons can take short sightseeing trips. Buy that poor dog an outside blanket, he’ll get callouses on his elbows otherwise ! Regards AJ
He has a mat but prefers to sleep on the boards.
Holy cow! Otis has really grown. It's good to see you guys and Otis again. I guess I can quit harassing you about seeing Otis now. I love that you all are looking for a canal experience for your friend. It's awesome! I worked with people with developmental disabilities for 15 years. It's fantastic that you are showing that this is available for people. What a wonderful program! Thank you guys for sharing, including Otis, and your information on the boating services for those with disabilities. I think you're even more wonderful now. Leather huh..................😜
Haha! No leather. 😂😂😂😂😂
Otis, Otis, Otis!!!!! Love that furball. You two are a lot of fun too!
😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
A cup of coffee and your video start my Friday off with a smile and make the day better. :) Be Safe !
Thanks, you too!
I know I've just watched it but can't for the life of me remember half of what was said though cos had Ovaltinies song whizzing round my pea sized brain and was too busy watching Otis lol. Fantastic vlog as usual guys.
😂😂😂
@@FoxesAfloat I know.....its my age!!!!! Lol
its my ringtone😉😉 always causes an "ahhhh" if im out and it starts up" one two three ,we are the ovaltinies little girls and boys ....................
I always look forward to your posts and as always it was great, who knew that people with disabilities could experience traveling on a narrowboat I take my hat off to all the volunteers who make it posable.
So true! Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
Hi Guys, I’m also a crew member at Waterways, I joined in 2023, great charity and great people. Thanks for
Stopping, I follow you on CZcams and I had no idea you were there, nice surprise. Good luck with your new boat, I have just boat one so you I will give you both a wave if we ever pass each other. ❤
As a wheelchair user, so thankful to see something like this exists!!!
Great organisation!
It was great learning about the Waterway Experience! Having worked with individuals with disabilities for many years it is so nice that folks like you stop by and check out an agency and get the word out on them.
Thanks for sharing!!
You Guys are just the BEST can't say more than that!
Aww, thanks so much!
Seriously enjoyed your look into disabled access boats its so nice to see companies going that extra mile and you two always are brilliant how you do the vlogs your my number 1 team and an inspiration
That's so kind, Anthony. Thank you! 👍🏻
I love my Fridays waiting for your video.... take care x
Yay! Thank you!
Bless this company they make a way for people to be happy. Thank you two for showing this!
Our pleasure!
Haha. Glad you didn't make a Horlicks out of the Ovaltine segment. (Groan) On the outtakes. Calling Otis Dhillon is so understandable. My Moggie, who I rescued from the street, I named Chooch. Once in a blue moon, I will call her Spook. A cat I had many years ago.
Awwww... We keep calling him Dillon. 💜
Information plus lots of laughs! Cute Otis and two handsome men.
Thank you! 😃
sorry, did you say something? - oh! there's Otis again!!!
🥰
Must get it from shaun 😂🤣 Brilliant cheers fellas💯👍
😂
Waterways Experiences, what a great job you are doing ! Thank you guys for sharing this lovely video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
In 20 years of wagon driving the greatest thing I ever saw was the M25 disappearing south in my wing mirrors. Great blog guys hope the half Witt narrow boater towing cruisers has travelled his last canal mile. Stay safe chaps the crazyness is about to start all over again.🤗
Glad you enjoyed it. The boater was seen the next day continuing his journey 🙄
So good to see you this morning, loved the promotion for disabled people and narrowboating. I often talk about our doodles and occasionally say one of our daughter's names or our granddaughter's instead of the dogs name. Shhhh don't tell our daughters please.
Nice one. Thanks!
...he rolls over and shows his belly for a treat...must have copied it from Shaun...😁😄😅😂🤣
😂
😂
What a wonderful concept....and kudos to u both for sharing and educating these experience for disabled individuals! Otis has certainly grown over the summer......handsome boy:)
They are legends!
You both brighten the world....seriously you are making these troubled times bearable. Thank you and God Bless! ❤️❤️❤️
You are so kind. Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
How wonderful that there are narrowboat adventures available to disabled folks. Thanks for sharing that info! Great blog as usual; and Otis just gets cuter and cuter! 💕
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
I've gotta say that even though we've seen all of your videos and love when a new one pops up, it's still just as much fun to go back and rewatch the older ones. You two bring a lot of joy to a lot of people! This is what we do in the mornings before I go off to work. It's a great way to start the day with a cup of coffee. Thanks guys!
Wow, thank you!
Hi Otis. Glad to know that the training of your humans is going well. :D
They could do better 😂
Yay great mix again Otis sorry Colin and shaun 😂. Makes me want to get on the canals again. Another boat? Where did I miss that news. Looking forward to the next one. Keep delving into that history 😏🤔. Xx 🐕
Coming soon!
What a wonderful company , Waterways Experience. Thank you so much for promoting this voluntary organisation , and also great to see you both so relaxed 😌. And wonderful little Otis , who is coming along beautifully I well recall the Ovaltine factory, we used travel to Stockport by train from Euston , my dad was an engine driver so we got free travel . There were literally acres of chicken feeding lots all white chickens ! I loved Ovaltine !!and the radio program for Little Girls and Boys . And again for making another Saturday morning happy 😃 Keep up the good work !
Thanks! 👍🏻😛💜
Love, love, love you all! And your boat is pretty near my dream boat!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maybe one day!
love this video, especially the boat for disabled people, I taught disabled children horse riding here in Cape Town for 30 years, but still upset at the lack of facilities for wheel chairs experiences here in South Africa. Its improving but slowly.... keep it up and a big thanks for your trips
Thanks, Yolande!
Congratulations on taking the time and interest to show others Waterways Experiences...Good on you both!
Thanks so much! They do great work
Colin and Shaun: Awesome vlog as always. My husband works as a carer for people with high medical needs. He often talks about how few things he can take his clients to do in our local area. This would be amazing.
Otis: who’s a good boy? That’s right, you are!
Haha! he is 😂
You are just getting better all the time, and sharing sooo much and human. 🇩🇰🇫🇷❤️
Thank you, Peter x
What a wonderful vlog! Being able to see trees and countryside instead of endless buildings and moored up boats was a refreshing start, and then the Waterways Experiences place too - brilliant! I reckon a ramp should be standard on all narrowboats. Glad to see a return of the more relaxed vibe now you’re away from London, and Otis is growing up into such a beautiful boy too :) reckon a mug of ovaltine is needed this evening to be enjoyed in front of the warm glow of the wood burner 😊🐾
Shaun's been craving Ovaltine since we recorded that 😂
Thanks for the otis show, it'll be nice seeing him grow up, glad youv'e got him toilet trained, this time next year you should have Shaun trained as well!!Those volunteers deserve a medal for what they are doing, do they not? another great vlog, bye till next friday Colin, Shaun and the main man Otis.
They do a fantastic job!
What a wonderful bunch of people running 'Waterway Experiences', heartwarming to see people taking the time to help others. Really enjoyed this weeks video. Thanks.
We agree!
Otis is still as adorable as ever, as usual its entertaining & funny. that waterways experience charity looks a brilliant initiative well done for showing it to us, perhaps invest in an umbrella or awning on the new boat for any wheelchair user guests so they don't get drenched.
But Jordan likes getting wet*
No he doesn't 😂
Thanks guys love your added history bits to your stuff
Cheers, Roger 👍🏻
Colin and Shaun... I loved this vlog very much. I laughed out loud when you said Shaun rolled over for a treat. Hilarious stuff. The info on the accessible narrow boats was great. I so glad I found you guys online.
Glad you enjoyed it
"Weren't that many words then . . . " So funny ! Thanks for letting us know about Waterway Experiences.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
