194 - The Most Miserable Arrival at the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port
In this video we head North from Chester and head to the very end of the Shropshire Union Canal at Ellesmere Port. It is still raining and so it is a rather damp cruise. Once we arrive in Ellesmere Port the heavens really open and we have a miserable end to the cruise not fully able to appreciate our impressive surroundings at the National Waterways Museum.
If you are interested in Chester Cathedral, we also follow Michael on his tour at the begining of the video.
We hope you enjoy the vlog. Thanks for the support as always.

FAQ's
Q. Where are Michael's T-shirts from?
A. Tee Republic;
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.
