This summer, we had the incredible opportunity to be part of Narrow Escapes, a popular TV show airing on Channel 4.
The film crew joined us on our boating adventures along the picturesque Macclesfield and Caldon canals. They captured some truly memorable moments that will surely resonate with audiences. One highlight was the dramatic descent of the Bosley locks under a downpour, where the cascading water created a stunning visual backdrop that mirrored the excitement of our journey. As raindrops splashed upon our boat, we couldn’t help but laugh and cheer in the spirit of adventure.
A particularly heartwarming moment occurred when Maxine collected her latest book, “Mexi and Sammy Snail.” The look of joy on her face as she held the book would have warmed anyone’s heart. It was delightful to see her passion for storytelling come to life, and we are eager for others to read her imaginative tale.
Our visit to a local pet shop turned into another cherished memory, as we treated our beloved boat dog, Mexi. Watching her pick out her favourite toy and indulge in some tasty treats brought a smile to our faces. Seeing the bond we share with our furry friend highlights the joy of travelling with pets and the little things that make life special.
We also had the pleasure of witnessing the creative spirit of Steve at the Caldon Canal’s 50th Anniversary celebration. He showcased his handmade coin jewellery. His enthusiasm for his craft and the stories behind each piece enthralled the community.
Throughout our journey, the entire Narrow Escapes team made us feel incredibly welcome, bringing a sense of camaraderie and shared excitement. Mexi, our furry companion, seemed to revel in the attention of the crew, adding her own playful charm to our adventures. We spent hours sharing stories, and laughter, and creating lasting friendships that extended beyond the camera’s lens.
As we reflect on these experiences, we find ourselves filled with anticipation for how they will be portrayed on screen. The way the crew captured the essence of our adventures has us excited to share the final product with you all. We hope that viewers will embark on this journey with us, experiencing the beauty of the canals and the bonds formed along the way.
Stay tuned for our TV debut on Channel 4 in Spring 2025!
We’ll keep you updated on the air date and any behind-the-scenes tidbits.
