We're encountering some of our biggest challenges on the British canals as we navigate from England to Wales on the Llangollen Canal. Join us as we attempt the Grindley Brook Staircase Locks, the Chirk Tunnel, and the UK’s highest aqueduct, Pontcysyllte. But those aren't our only canal adventures, we face a few surprise challenges along the way.

Enjoy part 2 of us figuring out narrowboating!

It's great to see you enjoying Britain for real. Not many tourists would brave driving a narrow boat, actually not many Brits would either. What an awesome experience. I hope you got your pint of beer and fish and chips.

Wonderful to see! A rare event for most travelers - you have earned the respect of many! Cheers

It amazes me that these guys are from FLORIDA and yet having so much fun on the UK narrowboat scene 😂

Hello again! You bought some greeting cards from my boat at the floating market! Thank you for adding it to your fantastic video! Emma x

I am seriously impressed by you two. Great trip! It's a fantastic way to see the UK. You take to canal life like a pair of pros!! 👍

@seldom_bucket 1 year ago

Amazing, you have discovered more of the UK's beauty and what it's really about than a lot of people born here.
Hope you had an amazing time, gives me so much pride and appreciation seeing such respectful guests enjoy their time in this country.

Fun fact.. during WW2 not only did women work in the factories and farms , they also worked on the canals well the men went to fight!!.❤️🇬🇧

Well done. Most Americans worry about driving on the wrong side of the road. You've gone beyond that. ❤

@markallen221 2 years ago

We are on our 4th visit in our narrowboat, which we have owned for 14 years. I am always delighted by the reaction of our American friends when they tackle narrowboating for the first time. I think our canal system is a great way to see the UK. As well as Llangollen (clangothlenn), you can moor in York, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, Manchester and London, all accessed via the canal system.
Just please remember to slow down past moored boats😊

Just found this, so good to see people enjoy the UK that doesn't always involve the obvious. Well done to you both.

Hello from Texas!
Second time I’ve watched your videos.
Delightful! I’ll be taking my maiden voyage coming up mid September (2026). I’ll be solo. And 74 years old!
Really looking forward tonit!

@kent5651 7 months ago

I have watched a ton of videos and this is the first one I’ve seen with the stern configured so that the helmsman can sit while driving the boat.

Boating in the Spring and Summer is great fun, and you have friendly people who will help you along the way....

@jimithecat99 1 year ago

Great challenges, well done - just a reminder that Pontcysyllte aqueduct is in fact the world's highest aqueduct 🙂

@apollo11guy 1 year ago

I've done those 2 aqueducts twice, yet my knees still get weak looking over the side in the videos.

@kevinhemmings5447 2 years ago

Happy birthday Megan. Read up on legging through tunnels if you haven't already done so it must have been a really hard life all those years ago! transporting cargo for the nation!.

That canal life looks so calm and quiet (except for people walking right by your living quarters ALL THE TIME haha). And Megan looks a LOT like another YouTuber: Kerry Carmody (it's a good comparison not just for looks but also they both seem sweet)
