Wobbly Runner Exploring
I explore Britain's lost railways, canals and industrial heritage — uncovering the hidden infrastructure that shaped the places around us.
From abandoned railway lines and forgotten stations to lost canals, industrial archaeology and restoration projects, I explore what remains, what disappeared, and the stories hidden in the landscape.
New videos every week, including Lost Railway Towns, Lost Waterways of South Yorkshire, Great Central Railway Reunification and Chesterfield Canal restoration.
Wobbly Runner Exploring
The next episode of Lost Waterways of South Yorkshire is now available to channel members. General release tomorrow (Thursday) evening.
We're looking at remains of what was an incredible landmark on the Barnsley Canal and the troubled timeline it faced. The Barnsley Aqueduct.

Last week we had 3 great days filming various videos in North Wales.
Hard work, but a lot of fun and laughter.
Here are the behind the scenes, out takes and bits you wont get to see on the released videos.
NB. These trips away come with quite a few costs, so I genuinely appreciate the support of my YouTube channel members. It really does help make these trips and the videos possible. Thank you!

Can you spot the old "railway line" in this photo?
Well, railway line isn't actually the correct term as we'll find out in our next video.
If you visit Whitby, you might have driven past this location. Thousands do every day and the vast majority won't know it "existed".
Anyway, we'll find out above the railway line was that never completed this weekend on the Wobbly Runner YouTube channel.

Just going through the photos from last week's trip to Wales.
Some incredible views, fascinating history. Lots and lots of exciting stuff to show you over the next few months as I release the videos.
Here is Phil. Part way up the climb into the heart of Penmaenmawr quarries. If you've driven the A55 in North Wales, you might have spotted this granite quarry dominating the hillside above. Some of the winding drums and inclines are easily visible from the A55 road below.

Some shots from the newly opened towpath at Staveley on the Chesterfield Canal.
This part of the canal is still under construction. There are a few snagging issues that are getting sorted, but it's not far off completion now.

Day 2 of 3 in North Wales.
It's another story of Slate from the quarry to the port. The Penrhyn slate story. With the 1801 tramway and the 1870s railway.
