FAQ
Q. Why do you speed up some of the footage in your videos?
A. We don't, we film it as time-lapse footage. We do not have the battery capacity or data storage to film in real time as our cruises can last up to 7 or 8 hours. We use to the time-lapse footage to help tell the story of movement rather than showcase the scenery. We limit the amount of time-lapse shots we use in each vlog.

Places to see in ( Garstang - UK )
Garstang is an old market town and civil parish within the Wyre borough of Lancashire, England. It is 10 miles north of the city of Preston and the same distance south of Lancaster. In 2011, the parish had a total resident population of 4,268; the larger Garstang Built-up Area, which includes the adjoining settlements of Bonds and Cabus, had population of 6,779. Garstang is famous for being the world's first ever Fairtrade Town.
St. John Plessington was born at Dimples Hall, which is just outside the town. Garstang was once served by Garstang and Catterall railway station which closed in 1969, and Garstang Town railway station which closed to passengers in 1930. The town is overlooked by the ruined remains of Greenhalgh Castle, built in 1490 by Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby.
The town celebrates an arts festival and an agricultural show (which has been continued for 200 years) every year in August.
In April 2000 Garstang declared itself the world's first Fairtrade Town, influencing many other towns, cities and counties around the United Kingdom to work towards the same goal. The Fairtrade Town status was renewed by the Fairtrade Foundation on 13 August 2003.
The local newspaper, the Garstang Courier, is available on tape free of charge to blind and partially sighted people from Galloway's Society for the Blind. Following success in winning the Small Country Town category in the 2002 Britain in Bloom Awards, Garstang won the Small Town category in the 2005, 2006 and 2010
Local primary schools are Garstang Community Primary School, with about 245 pupils, St Thomas' Church of England School and SS Mary and Michael Catholic School. The local secondary school is Garstang Community Academy which does not offer sixth form courses; pupils travel to Lancaster, Preston or Blackpool and further for A level courses.
The town has seven public houses: The Farmers Arms, the Crown, the Eagle and Child, the King's Arms, the Royal Oak, the Wheatsheaf, Th'Owd Tithe Barn, with the Bellflower (formerly the Flag) in Nateby and Crofters Tavern in Cabus. It has three restaurants: Pipers, Ken Ma and the Great Season, the latter two being Chinese restaurants. There is also a golf club and Country Hotel and the Crofter's Hotel, on the main A6 road.
Lying on the River Wyre, River Calder and the Lancaster Canal, Garstang is situated close to the A6 road, the M6 motorway, and the West Coast Main Line, between Lancaster and Preston. It lies on the eastern edge of the Fylde, and the Forest of Bowland is not far to the east. Garstang and the nearby villages of Bonds, Bowgreave, Catterall and Western Claughton-On-Brock form an almost continuous built-up area, bypassed by the A6 road in 1928. Other nearby villages not bypassed by the A6 road include: Brock, Bilsborrow, Cabus and Churchtown form another, much larger, continuous built-up area which includes Garstang in the centre.

54_Cabus Nook - Garstang by Narrowboat
We have left Glasson Docks and have now moored at Cabus Nook next to Greaves Caravan Park for an overnight stop. We leave Cabus Nook and head southwards down the Lancaster canal. We pass through Smithy Leisure Park with their static caravans and moorings. The Pennine Hills are on the distant skyline and the undulating farmland makes pleasant cruising. We are soon approaching Garstang, Bridge House Marina is on our port side, we pass through a couple of nice bridges, stop at the boaters facilities where we meet up with Silver Fox and finally moor in Garstang Basin.

70013 on the Mersey Moorlander at Brindle Rd, Bilsborrow and Preston, 15th August 2011
Great to see a Brit for a change! The shot at Brindle Rd was very tricky and compromised by that yellow box - if only I'd switched to manual focus! But it got better as it approached the crossing. Bilsborrow and Preston shots were both enhanced by great Ollie whistles.

Drive from Galgate (near Lancaster UK) to Bleasdale
Drive from Galgate over the tops to Bleasdale and Waddecar scout camp. Going through Oakenclough and passing the reservoirs. Amazing views from up here, North, South and West. Only minutes from Lancaster but compare the traffic out here to the gridlock in my previous video of Lancaster city centre. Apologies for the Bruce Springsteen soundtrack if that's not your thing...

Magnet Fishing Finds - Gun FOUND in Preston Canal ( police involved )
While out magnet fishing i found a gun in preston canal. This magnet fishing finds found in preston canal is my best find to date. so the gun found magnet fishing was in pieces but all the parts where in the bag.
I went down to the canal while there was a snow storm in the uk called the beast from the east but even the freezing weather couldnt stop me from finding my magnet fishing best find to date.
As soon as i started my rope had frozen solid and even my gloves where rock hard with the cold, i managed to get my rope un tangled and began to fish. within the first 5 minutes i had magnet fished a car radio and a stolen safe from the water.
I moved under the bridge to get out of the snow and thats where i found the gun in a black bag with preston church writern on the bag, once i pulled open the bag i discovered it had a pistol inside so i took it to the police ( police involved ) and handed the gun back.
