Canal Boat Holiday on The Black Country Ring
Short trailer of the adventures we had on our narrowboat holiday when we cruised the black country ring (midlands, UK) passing Fradley Junction, Great Haywood, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Drayton Manor with a stop off at the theme park and Fazely Junction. Fabulous family holiday, great for dogs and kids!! Hired a 5* narrowboat from Aqua Narrowboats and could complete the route in a week.

English Canals - River Sow Aqueduct
UK canal boat holidays. We love going on canal boat holidays on the English canals, and the Welsh canals too! We hired a narrowboat from Norbury Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal and cruised to Tixall Wide on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Here is a film of us on a canal boat holiday cruising on the aqueduct over the River Sow. The River Sow Aqueduct is the aqueduct that carries the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal over the River Sow at Milford in Staffordshire. I filmed this from a narrowboat we had hired. The approach from the north is very pretty –through some trees. Unfortunately there were some boats moored immediately on the approach, which is also on a bend – hence the very slow approach. But, as always when on a narrowboat in England, it’s worth slowing down to appreciate it more!

Invention of radio
Many people were involved in the invention of radio in its current form. Experimental work on the connection between electricity and magnetism began around 1820 with the work of Hans Christian Ørsted, and continued with the work of André-Marie Ampère, Joseph Henry, and Michael Faraday. These investigations culminated in a theory of electromagnetism developed by James Clerk Maxwell, which predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves.
After Maxwell's theory was published, many people experimented with wireless communication, some intentionally using Maxwell's theory and some not. It is considered likely that the first intentional transmission of a signal by means of electromagnetic waves was performed by David Edward Hughes around 1880, although this was considered to be induction at the time. The first systematic and unequivocal transmission of EM waves was performed by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz and described in papers published in 1887 and 1890. Hertz famously considered these results as being of little practical value.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio

SUMMARY
=======
The English Channel (French: la Manche, The Sleeve; German: Ärmelkanal, Sleeve Channel; Breton: Mor Breizh, Sea of Brittany; Cornish: Mor Bretannek, British Sea; Dutch: Het Kanaal, The Channel), also called simply the Channel, is the body of water that separates southern England from northern France and links the southern part of the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. It is the busiest shipping area in the world.It is about 560 km (350 mi) long and varies in width from 240 km (150 mi) at its widest to 33.3 km (20.7 mi) in the Strait of Dover. It is the smallest of the shallow seas around the continental shelf of Europe, covering an area of some 75,000 km2 (29,000 sq mi).
Atherstone Locks 1 & 2
Strolling down the top two locks of the Atherstone Flight of the Coventry Canal in narrowboat Golden Hind on a bright but as yet cool late September morning.Fear not dear reader for it warmed up nicely to be a perfect day. Who says global warming is bad news?
Don't be alarmed by the apparent lock twatting, none was serious and besides lock keeper Tony Ward MBE was on hand so featherlight was the word.
Golden Hind is one of the Anglo Welsh Gold Class narrowboats and very good she is too. A 67 foot long semi trad, four berths (2 double - 2 single) great galley and four wonderful reclining leather armchairs in the saloon.

Narrowboat Vlog - Tour 6 - Tight Squeeze - Shropshire Union Canal
Watch us tackling the challenging Tyrley locks on The Shroppie .....
Join us on the next part of our journey. Each Vlog covers a specific part of a canal in the detail it deserved ( why rush by! ) - we just said it naturally as we cruised along in the hope that you would get that narrowboat feeling
We cruised away early from Norbury Junction on the Shropshire Union Canal after two days moored up on our narrowboat. It was raining, it was windy, it was sunny but most of all it was great. We met two dredgers, saw a lovely property and cruised through a tunnel of greenery. The Captain even expertly (?) moored up in a tight spot.
Please join us on our adventures

A pardoned stagecoach robber, becomes government agent and marries a naive unsuspecting east-coast dentist in order to join a wagon train and catch the smugglers who have been selling guns to the Indians.
Director: Alan Rafkin
Writers: Edmund L. Hartmann (screenplay) (as Edmund Hartmann), Frank Tashlin (screenplay)
Stars: Don Knotts, Barbara Rhoades, Jackie Coogan
PLOT (Wikipedia): Jesse W. Haywood (Don Knotts) graduates from dental school in Philadelphia in 1870 and goes west to become a frontier dentist. As a city slicker, he finds himself bungling in a new environment.
On his way west, the stagecoach is held up and robbed by two masked bandits. A posse catches one of them, Penelope Bad Penny Cushing (Barbara Rhoades).
Facing prison, Penelope is offered a pardon if she will track down a ring of gun smugglers that also involves a local Indian tribe. Because the wagon train she plans to accompany will not permit single women to join, she tricks Haywood into a sham marriage as a disguise.
Jesse, excited for his wedding night and not realizing the sham of his marriage, looks for Penelope who is investigating the crates of bibles the preacher and his minion have in their tent. Jesse startled Penelope who alerts the camp. Her investigation foiled, she goes to bed dragging along her bungling husband.
As the wagon train draws near the town, Indians attack. As Jesse fumbles with his six shooter, Penelope expertly shoots the attackers. Jesse, believing he was responsible is proud of his accomplishment and is treated as a hero by the wagon train and the entire town that hears of his deeds.
The Preacher and his minion, believing Jesse to be the undercover federal agent, hires the local outlaw Arnold the Kid to challenge Jesse to a gunfight. In the yard as Jesse practices for his gunfight, Penelope meets with her contact in town. Around the corner, Arnold listens for Jesse to use up his rounds and after the sixth shot challenges Jesse, even offering him the first shot. Penelope, feeling pity for Jesse, kills Arnold from the window.
Haywood inadvertently becomes the legendary Doc the Heywood after he guns down Arnold the Kid and performs other exploits (all with covert assistance from Penny).
Later at night as Penelope leaves to search the church where the Preacher resides, Jesse confronts her demanding where she is going. Penelope explains her situation and Jesse offers his help believing himself to be a crack shot. Penelope, not wanting Jesse to hurt himself, tells him the truth about her assistance on the wagon train and with Arnold. Penelope leaves, apologizing to Jesse, who is now heartbroken.
Penelope investigates the church and is kidnapped by the Preacher and his minion, who take her to the Indian village outside of town. Meanwhile, Jesse walks into the saloon and admits the truth of his deeds to the town...who now find him a joke. As a drunken Jesse stumbles out of the saloon he sees Penelope being taken out of town by the Preacher. Jesse follows them to the Indian village to save Penelope.
In disguise as a Squaw, Jesse maneuvers around the village and frees Penelope suggesting they wait for the entire village to get even more drunk. Eventually Jesse is discovered and the Preacher and his Minion challenge Jesse to a gunfight. Jesse is confidant as he knows Penelope is armed and ready in the shadows. As Penelope sets her sight she is grabbed by two marshals who sneaked into the village to save her. Two gun shots rang out and Penelope, crestfallen, leaves the village. Jesse however stands victorious with the Preacher and his minion shot dead. Jesse is surrounded by the rest of the village and appears doomed.
Back at the town, the gates are barred and the townspeople prepare for a battle. To everyone's surprise Jesse rides with the Chief at his side and the remainder of the tribe behind them. Jesse has made peace with the Chief, using his dentistry skills to replace his missing teeth and orders him a rare steak. Jesse and Penelope reunite and hug.

The Llangollen Canal (Welsh: Camlas Llangollen) is a navigable canal crossing the border between England and Wales. The waterway links Llangollen in Denbighshire, north Wales, with Hurleston in south Cheshire, via the town of Ellesmere, Shropshire. The name, which was coined in the 1980s, is a modern designation for parts of the historic Ellesmere Canal and the Llangollen navigable feeder, both of which became part of the Shropshire Union Canals in 1846.
The Ellesmere Canal was proposed by industrialists at Ruabon and Brymbo, and two disconnected sections were built. The northern section ran from Ellesmere Port on the River Mersey to Chester, where it joined the Chester Canal, and opened in 1795. Work on the southern section began at Frankton, with a line southwards to Llanymynech, and subsequently, a second section was built westwards towards Trevor. This involved crossing the Afon Ceiriog and the River Dee, which was achieved by building two vast aqueducts, using iron troughs to contain the water. The Ceiriog was crossed at Chirk, and Chirk Aqueduct opened in 1801, to exploit local supplies of iron and coal. The canal then passed through Chirk Tunnel, and reached the southern end of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in 1802, which was not completed until 1805. To join the two halves up, a heavily engineered route from Trevor Basin via Ruabon and Brymbo to the River Dee at Chester was planned, but very little of it was built. Instead, the present route from Frankton to Hurleston Junction on the Chester Canal was constructed, and opened in 1805. As the route never reached the water reservoir at Moss Valley, Wrexham (built in 1786), a navigable feeder was built to Llantisilio where the Horseshoe Falls weir was constructed on the River Dee to supply the canal.
As part of the Shropshire Union system, the canal from Hurleston to Llangollen thrived until the end of the First World War, after which it saw very little traffic. Navigation was formally abandoned under the terms of an Act of Abandonment obtained by the owners, the London Midland and Scottish Railway, in 1944, but the channel was retained as it still supplied water to the main line of the Shropshire Union, and subsequently to the Mid & South East Cheshire Water Board. This arrangement was due to end in 1954, but as there was no alternative supply of water, the powers were extended. Early pioneering cruises of the waterway were made by Tom Rolt in 1947 and 1949, and despite being officially closed, a number of boats started to use it. There was a growing campaign to reopen it, but it was still designated as one of the 'waterways having insufficient commercial prospects to justify their retention for navigation' under government papers published in 1955 and 1958. It was not until the passing of the Transport Act 1968 that the route was finally designated as a cruiseway, and its future was secured. As leisure use of the canals grew, the route was rebranded as The Llangollen Canal in the 1980s, and it has become one of the most popular routes for holidaymakers. Its importance in the history of the British canal system was recognised in 2009, when the 11-mile (18 km) stretch from Gledrid Bridge near Rhoswiel to Horseshoe Falls including Pontcysyllte and Chirk aqueducts was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
