It was nice to spot you guys on my way to Sheffield. I was surprised by how beautiful it is on the Don. I stayed in the basin and got my silver propeller shots then headed out and saw you again coming back. You've got a lovely mooring and I wonder where you were and now I know. Great vlog. Take care rippers.

It was nice to see you too.. didn't realise it was it was you until we were virtually along side you! If we'd realised you were heading our way we would have stayed moored up for the morning and had the kettle on. We love our mooring - not many like it around!

What a great camping set up. When I first saw the bed in the tent I wondered how that happened! Great way to spend some nice time over a weekend. Dawn's sign work was wonderful. Shall guess it is a sign for the van!

I was one of the last boats to come down Bosley on the last day they were open. They said the Macclesfield was closing due to water shortages, but they planned the closure apparently for months as all the work boat were in place ready.

Hi Dawn and Peter, looked like a great get away. The bed in the tent looked like glamping to me. Better than a sleeping bag 🙂. Dawn nice job on your sign. It a nice professional looking job. Glad you got some rain even if it was a bit of a pain.

The lack of water is also a problem at the flight of locks on the Leeds/Liverpool at Top Lock in Wigan. Not good for boat owners such as yourself who currently can't travel via this route, but great for anglers such as myself because the water clarity is superb in what little water is left in the canal deep enough to fish in

Now I'm reaching here but would the name/word Gloops be a term of endearment for a particular family member? I've racked my little brain and have no idea what 'Gloops' could be used for, perhaps a friends boat??? Oh well, great vlog guys ~ liked that glamping setup. Not so sure about the poor birds pooping in the laundry/refreshments area. 🤔 Anyway, take good care of yourselves, 🤗💕🇺🇸🇬🇧

Often wondered if I would be any good at signwriting, or possibly the artwork on narrowboats. ( roses, castles etc ). Liking dawn's sign, no idea what it's about. Just out of interest, what is the price of diesel? and cos I don't know, is it marine diesel?. best wishes to you both.
@billharris6886

Hi Peter and Dawn, nice get-away for the weekend. Thanks for doing the videos,, I look forward to seeing them. With the price increase of diesel, that probably discourages use of the boat. It's good you have the electric bike. I was looking at electric trolling motors the other day to see how well they would push a narrowboat. A 12V volt with 50 lb of thrust, I calculate would push the boat about 1.5 mph. They pull about 50 amps, which could run off your solar system if you have 1,000 watts of solar panels. Probably not too practical though.

Ah if you search back to the first videos we made (during the lock down of 2020) they were about us converting our first boat to be electric drive... I used a forklift truck motor. Got it working and then blew up the controller though! 😒

@@WingingItBoatingonaBudget Yes, Nuts and Volts, I have been watching your Vlogs since day one. No, I didn't mean to imply going full electric, I was just mentioning a simple low cost propulsion backup measure in case diesel becomes unavailable, which seems to be the direction it is going here in the US.
