As he's on the orginal video I watched with a stack of around 10+ warnings from CRT, that its now 7 years later and the eviction process is only just beginning says the same thing!

I don't.

Yeah I picked up on that, I think he had a legal advisor just off camera. The CRT seems to have moved from a minimum distance requirement to one based on moving from one neighbourhood to another, they even go as far as saying specfying distance is not practical and give some definition of what a neighbourhood is. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/boating/licence-your-boat/continuous-cruising (Link on that page - follow the rules)

Cheers, theres a multitude of blogs like you say and that 'Cruising The Cut' channel has a associated website with a page of other channels to explore - by his own admission he no longer maintains that page due to how many keep appearing. No I was a bit more interested in any serious documentary put together about the CRT or Continuous Cruising esp a more up to date one, there were a few claims in that original video about CRT that (if true) are a bit worrying but it is a 7 year old video. CRT may now have a different attitude towards continous cruisers than these few individuals were painting a picture of.

That was quite an interesting little video, probably one of the only ones I've seen detailing (a part of the) the lives of people who are full time residents of the waterways. I'd like to watch more if I can as I'd have never found this video (7 year old video on a channel with 273 subsrubers, and that was the last video!). I did try a search for 'continuous cruiser documentary' but I got a circular loop back to a thread here: Don't know if that documentary ever got made. I did find a YT channel called "Crusing the Cut" that I'm going to look at. If anyone has some other recomendations feel free to share😀

I'm sorry to say I missed this, the Examiner article has some pictures here: https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/gallery/17-brilliant-pictures-huge-crowd-23843861

Thanks! This was exactly the film I was looking for.

Lovely thanks, lots of links there!

Aye I spotted that, £30 is a lot and I'm trying to save not spend at the moment anyway....👍

It could be, I'd need to watch it to be sure. It's been available on DVD and VHS so I may be able to track down a copy. This link says it was narrated by Timothy West which makes sense - I've watched quite a lot of him and Prunella Scales on their own 'Great Canal Journeys' series.

Thanks I'll put it on the watch list.

Hi There! I'm looking for the name of a canal documentary, I'll describe it as best I can and if anyone can offer suggestions what it might be called that would be great. I believe it covers one of the Lancs<>Yorks canals (Leeds/Liverpool, Rochdale or Huddersfield) and is about the restoration of the canal, in particular it covers the story of the first journey for several years along the then nearly abandoned canal with the aim of proving it is still a viable navigation to prevent closure. The journey was made by at times dragging the small boat (it wasn't a barge type as far as I remember) through parts that were too shallow but the journey was made and the closure prevented. I'm sure it was about either the Rochdale or Huddersfield as AFAIK the Leeds/Liverpool canal has never been abandoned, I may also be only remembering a small portion of a larger documentary/series. It was made in the mid to late '00s I think, possibly BBC. Ps Apoligies my first post is a question!
