Lovely reminders of my home, the upper stretches from Lancaster to the (most unfortunate) terminal at Tewitfield, where trout can be seen in the canal due to the confluence with a local stream. A beautiful video, nicely done, thank you and saludos desde Andalucia.

Very professional . Shame 2009 and 2019 our last trip went by without the extension. But it is still one of the best trips if you avoid the crowd and are not in a hurry. Our planned 2020 covid19 trip coming up 11weeks. In a widebeam from Duck Island Boats. Highly recommended by us both canal and yard. Specially as although vastly experienced but getting couple and like a bit of luxury. Yet marvellous value.

Pity they do not open the rest of the canal to Kendal which they said was a millennium project….still waiting for them to even start……

A very interesting video...such a pity that no one dare moor near Preston due to mindless vandals and thieves....a great pity that nothing has been done about the supposedly millennium link to re-open the canal to Kendal with the proposed marinas etc...would be nice if they re-opened it beyond Tewitfield locks ....and now the Stainton Aqueduct is damaged and will be costly to repair...hope they repair it before it becomes a major project and then gets abandoned....have ridden on the Water Witch at Crooklands and was enjoyable...

Oh yes. If you come up after 2009 you'll definitely be able to cruise to Kendal. A very optimistic view, but things are slowly happening bit by bit. Possibly 2090 is more realistic. It needs those Northern reaches opening to reduce the overcrowding and lack of permanent moorings as well as providing what will possibly become a very profitable canal as another gateway to the Lakes!
