Rochdale 9 - 4times in 4 days

[DeanS]

A Japanese tv program wants to film us leaving Castlefield, and arriving in Picadilly Village.

This means we'll be travelling down the Rochdale 9 on Saturday and back up (being filmed) on Sunday.

 

Then, if the weather isnt that great, they would like us to do it the following weekend again

 

We recently did the same stretch to get back to the marina (2 weeks ago) and we did it again to bring up our teens new project boat.

 

That would make us doing the Rochdale 9 six times in a month.

 

Are we crazy...lol.

 

 

 

[Kae]

Yes, you're crazy!

Are they paying you?

[ditchcrawler]

If you only do it 4 times you will do very well, I bet they get to the third lock and want you to start again at least 4 times.

[DeanS]

Yep, getting payment for it. DO YOU THINK I WOULD DO THOSE LOCKS FOR FUN..LOL

Does that make you a waterways trader?

No. They aren't paying to use the boat. They're paying us for our story...and filming from a distance

eta. And it's a once off.

eta and it's not on CRT waters.

How can you do the Rochdale 9 and not be on CRT waters then?

 

Boat too wide to drag along the tow path at that point, surely?

I knew you where the right man (& woman, Mariella) for the job, comfortably crazy ;-)

 

We had the same team with us for 2 days a month for a year, they're a fairly good gang to work with.

 

You never know this might be the start of your film career!

 

Cheers, Brian

It's not Takeshi's Castle is it?

[Les&Gerry]

Channel 4 wanted to film a boat at castlefield, then asked them could they move onto the Leeds and Liverpool canal as Peel Holdings want to much money for filming.

Sounds more like the 80's show "Endurance"
