It's not a bad series and I subscribe to the channel. When I had a narrowboat, we did many of the trips that they are doing and I like reliving old memories. I remember seeing that wall painting at Wolverton and wondered who did it. Now I know.

Yep, that's quite a height! I'd rather be a passenger in that train than the cab crew.

I'm actually actively avoiding this thread, as I have no desire to see NewportNobby from below.

Nice videos, I have seen these guys before with Martin Zero who does a lot of videos about Manchester, the rivers and history etc. I must watch more of them, I did not know Mick @Newportnobby was named after a railway engine you live and learn.

I thought it was the other way around?

I know @daffy he's getting on a bit but surely he's not that old lol......

@lil chris Not so much the engine as the train itself, Chris. Link in my posts to 'The Real Newport Nobby'

Another one for you vertigo sufferers.  I've walked this once and narrowboated it twice, and yes, you can step off your boat to oblivion

Yes, I was there at the middle of the 1st week in August and went over it both ways, stopping at the souvenir shop in between - just as I did almost 40 years ago. 40 years ago was better though, the design of the boat meant that I could sit on the rail of the boat, holding the tiller and look straight down the drop  while my parents were sat up front and my sister walked over.

That's the same clip I posted on Friday.

Oh yes, sorry Steve .  I missed that.

I've subscribed to Cruising the Cut from the beginning when David sold his house and bought his boat.  Slow living!
