- Having spent a few days at Buggy Basin near Whaley Bridge, I need to pick up some supplies and then head out to the countryside. I have heard a rumour that CRT are going to open Marple locks for a day to allow boats off the Upper Peak Forest canal.

The cruise to Tesco’s was very relaxing, the drone footage was great showing off the beautiful country side. But the heron and the dog were the best!
That dog was amazing. Just loved swimming. Even carried a stick with him. 🐕🦺
Nice drone footage. Always so peaceful on your cruises. Thanks!
Thanks Roger. I'm still trying to improve my flying skills 😛
Love the heron great filming take care
Thanks Carol. It was so close, I had no problems getting footage. It was more a case of which bits to leave out.
Very enjoyable. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Steve,lovely trip,take care.
Thanks Rob Glad you're enjoying it. You too
Nice to see the May blossom out when cruising along.....
Starting to see the signs of spring again now, Snowdrops & daffodils peaking through
The scent of blossom in the air was amazing as well
I see the folks you pass staring with envy...
Yeah I get a lot of people saying I wish I could do that.
Liked the heron..... and he hair cut!
Thanks Rowena, the heron was fascinating although didn't seem very skilled at catching fish
That looks beautiful countryside.
It's a beautiful canal
Like other subscribers I, too, agree that your vlogs are tops!
Many others haven't gotten all the good things for a great vlog right as you have done straightaway, Steve!
You have a keen eye for visuals, good ear for appropriate, limited and unobtrusive music, and show real-time cruising without time lapse and other annoying affects.
In short, thanks for keeping the canal the front-and-center "star" of your vlogs!
Thank you James. I make the videos as something that I would enjoy watching. It seems there are many people with the same great taste as me 😂😁
Fabulous shots of the heron Steve, that one is really tame.
Thanks, I would like to take the credit for those shots but it was so unafraid of its surroundings it made life easy
Thanks for sharing this part of your life. You make everything seem so easy. That heron footage was great. They are normally so shy. Thanks for that. You have a lot of patience filming such activity. So enjoyable.
Really pleased you are enjoying my journey, Jim. The heron didn't seem frightened of anything, really quite entertaining to film. I watch it for ages
Thanks for taking me along for the ride. We had a glorious 2 week trip on the Stourport Ring in 1997 and enjoyed every bit of it. I watch all the Narrowboat Vlogs as a substitute for being able to be there as it’s a long way from Australia. Nothing like that here in Oz.
I do like the peace and quiet of the life on the cut, but I personally prefer the “natural” soundtrack you have most of the time. I’m afraid I turn the sound almost off when recorded music intrudes on vlogs. Appreciate the time you spend on sharing it with others 👍. Regards, Rick
Thanks Rick, but you have some great beaches in Oz. I try to keep the soundtrack varied. Hopefully the music where used blends in. Sometimes used to cover wind noise on mic as well
Hi steve.... that is a very neat trick to get your boat off the mooring... loved the drone footage... my late granddad always said there is only a week between a good haircut and a bad one... if it's not to bad it will grow out in a week.... if it's that bad you will get used to it in a week...lol.... thanks for sharing that lovely little cruise.... keep safe.... until the next one...
Thanks for the comments Mike. I think it's a case that I have gotten used to it😛
Great vlog as always. I subscribe to many of the canal vloggers but yours in my opinion is the best. Hope to see you passing through the Wigan flight in the future (I’m a blocking’s). Cheers
Thanks for the kind comment John. Wigan flight is on the menu for next year. Huddersfield & Rochdale to come
Thank you Steve, great video I really enjoy the way you do your vlogs, very chilled and relaxed, you deserve way more subscribers than you have, I don’t just understand it !
Thank you for your kind words Kevin. I am not too concerned about the numbers, it just amazes me that people other than friends & family watch my videos, but so pleased they do.
Slow Boat Through Britain I always watch your videos Steve, I look forward to them, I used to live in Disley in a house that backed on to the canal but which canal would that have been Steve??
Its the Upper Peak Forest
Slow Boat Through Britain thank you Steve, I look forward to the next part if you go through Disley next 👍
Sorry to disappoint but I have passed through Disley at the end of this video. Not too much of the village is visible from the canal
Google Earth has never heard of Buggy Basin unfortunately, but your mention of Whaley Bridge and my keen eye for detail found it pretty smartly 😃
It was interesting to follow your journey on the map, despite the canal covered in many places by overhanging trees. Lovely weather you had, and great photography of nature. If I had a Narrowboat, I'd probably get a folding bike for those trips to TESCO, but only if it wasn't raining!
Ahh. I was seeing if you paid attention in the previous video when I arrived at Buggy Basin & explained the change in name lol czcams.com/video/1XWE7BXzjXY/video.html. Thanks for the comment
@@slowboatthroughbritain Oh Dear! Naughty me, I've been caught out not doing my homework 😲 . Thanks for the link to your earlier explanation.
Steve your getting better with the drone! as always the vlog is very well done, you must have the patience of jobe the heron shots where really well done, stay safe my man regards Legs
Thanks 👍 Fortunately it was a very friendly heron. It didn't seem frightened of anything and visited most days.
Meant to say vlockie
**&^**$ autocorrect :)
Hi Steve another lovely vlog, super scenery and drone footage accompanied by restful music, the heron was a star performer, not much of a fisherman but a great show- off, as for the dog, get me out.
Best wishes keep the vlogs coming.
Glad you enjoyed it. One of the most peaceful moorings I have used. The heron visited everyday and didn't seem frightened of anything apart from a moorhen with chicks which chased it off. Unfortunately the footage I got was too rushed to be usable.:( The dog even carried it's stick with it in the water.
Just wanna say, from one Steve to another, you have the magic & this vlog with tips on leaving mooring for your boat takes it up one more level!! (Sorry, but I can over-gratify when it's another Steve) Also, sorry I'm four weeks behind.. however, I have a question - what's the name of your often viewed team top with the emblem including the waves
Thanks for the comments, Steve. Glad to see it's spelt correctly as well ;). The top I have is Burton Rugby Club, For years I was the Fixtures Secretary there. I also coached mini/juniors.
Looks fantastic uncle Steve!
How long have you been an avid CZcamsr? Doing a grand job as usual. All of our love , the Clarke’s x
Cheers Cole. No need for the uncle bit. Makes me feel old 😕 It started as a way of letting family know what I was doing & it seems people from around the world like my journey. Just started editing episode 20 Amazed!!!
It seems you have a great following. And what a fantastic job you are doing! Your video editing skills are way above mine, would love to come aboard the moorland rose when your back in the basin, keep up the good work👍🏼
I think it will be sometime before I'm back in Burton but you're welcome aboard any time.
Steve. How long is Moorland Rose? Single handers on larger craft deserve some admiration. Ive tried pulling the stern in but SnowGoose refuses to budge 😊
Hi Robbie she is 57ft 4in without fenders. The only thing that upsets her is a crosswind but thats pretty much standard for most boats
May I ask a couple of general questions, please?
How long is your boat?
As a continuous cruiser, how much does your fuel cost per month?
I hope question 2 isn’t too rude. Thank you.
Hi, Moorland Rose is 57ft 6in long. Diesel varies but I probably average about £35 per month.
@@slowboatthroughbritain Many thanks Steve, much appreciated. Our boat will be 57ft. We are having 3 solar panels installed but I have no idea of their output! Just trying to get some idea of what our costs might be. If we can, we’ll stop at some moorings for a few weeks. We won’t be in a hurry to get anywhere lol.
