On this one Ian and me head to Warrington and then pickup the Bridgewater canal, then on to the Trent and Mersey canal before finishing the day on The Middlewich branch.

look at the state of them canal paths man 😏 the ale stops well made up for it though 🍺🍺 had to laugh at the pizzas strapped to the bikes dave 🤣
Great editing mate, remembering it fondly, another great trip, thanks for making the video, really enjoyed looking back at day 1⛺️🚲🍺👍🏻
Made me feel nervous watching you navigate those narrow, slippy path section, after a few pints!
Nice ride Dave, canal tow paths can be slow going. I've ridden along quite a few tow paths now and the one thing I was glad of was a suspension seat post. Sorry you got trapped by the pub and had to suffer an extra pint. Torture, life can be so unfair. I now have to suffer a pint of Guinness with my fish n chips:) Nowt wrong in my view pitching on the tow path, there looked to be plenty of room.
Nice one Dave and Ian enjoyed that start to the adventure. Plenty of pubs along the way I see! 👍😁🍺🍺
Another canal pub crawl, love it!
Nice one Dave and Ian – enjoyed part 1 – tow paths, mud, rain and beers – then more rain and beers, and would you believe it…..another spot of rain with a pub nearby for shelter 😂😂 Looked hard work mind, enjoyed the vid, but one thing has really scarred me mentally…..the angle that Ian had his pizza box on, oh my lord! Never mind mudslides on the tow paths…..surely that pizza topping had to have slipped off faster than the great embankment failure of 2012!! 🤣 Looking forward to part 2 lads 🙂
Bikes, Beers, Barges, Bivvies. Brilliant!
Great video. I'm a bit worried about you lads. Are you sure it's not a doco on pubs?? Cheers from New Zealand.
I wouldn't fancy being clipped in on them narrow tow paths😱
Well done there, lads. Great video 👍
Everyone thinks Canal riding is easy but it is far from it as in conditions like that you defo need 1000% concentration or you are taking an early bath.
just have a nice cuppa and few biscuits and enjoy this video thanks guys.
Great to see you both back out again, battling against the great British summer weather! Good job you had pubs to shelter in 👍
Pizza and tea? How bout pizza and beer?
Stopping for a beer when it rains, the ultimate in turning a bad situation into a good one, would help steady the nerves when you get close to the canal too. Enjoy your videos
The Bridgewater towpath from Dunham then Westbis an absolute disgrace with brambles blocking a rutted and muddy path. The rut is so deep between Dunham and Lymm your pedals are grounding. Dunham then to Wigan is flat and hard surfaced all the way. The Trent and Mersey isxevery bit as bad. Both towpaths aren't even safe to walk in places.
Some mates of mine did damp in the Leigh arms! They supposed to camp somewhere else and thought ,"sod it",
