I use amazon associate links so if you visit amazon through my links I may get a comission, this does not affect the price you pay.
I get the feeling the aqueduct and you have a very special understanding of each other. There is incredible symbolism with a span like that, especially one purpose built for narrowboats. The visual poetry is strong so thank you for the walk. Glad she is back in full function mode again, what a beautiful structure.
Local place spellings for anybody interested! Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llangollen, Trevor Basin, Froncysyllte,
I absolutely enjoy these early morning walks. So peaceful and relaxing 😊
I’m in Southern California now, but grew up in St Martins, and cub scouts in Chirk. I spent countless hours running around that whole area. Thanks for the video and jogging some old memories
Great video Dan. I can see why you spend so much time there it's very unique and theres lots of interesting aspects to it.
interesting look at the aqueduct ,I never knew that when walking on the towpath that you are walking on water .😮
World heritage site + sewage treatment plant = 😄
Comparing the Google Earth view (6Sep21) of the area to your video reveals some major changes.
Great video Dan. I must visit this place again this year. Thanks for sharing pal 👍🏼
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Board... BWB.... When I was a kid we had the gas board, electric board and so on. I don't think they liked using the word company because it was publicly owned, so they used the word board which means the organisation in charge of running the company. Come to think of it, the water board was always a bit of a torture to deal with.
Was that the good old manweb and norweb days?
👍🏻
Hi Dan great video on the empty pontcysyillte aqueduct. Very fascinating, you are lucky see the aqueduct anytime. I Hope to go over one day. If I night ask a couple questions. What is a narrowboat rental close to the pontcysyillte aqueduct. And what name brand of shampoo and hand soaps does narrowboaters use? I wish to use the idental kind for use in my travel trailer. I know the ones used on the cut are tried and true. A subscriber from Kentucky USA
It has many subtle changes over the decades. There was only one footpath underneath, the other is a recent addition along with the water points. The canal after the aquaduct on your left is a thinned out section of trees that suffered a landslide that was a very near disaster for the canal. I used to ride a bicycle across the aquaduct every day to work in argoed hall across the canal via the swing bridge back through the road access and across the road. Absolutely terrifying, but did it twice a day and prayed that nobody was on the aquaduct. Or it's bike on the shoulder and squeezing past people.
Wow excellent memories and interesting about the landslide! I fear that Chirk Bank will be the next site of a serious land slip incident!
Nearly half a century of memories from the gradual decimation of the area to the criminal abandonments of the past and present infrastructure. A quick example, along the handrail of the aquaduct is repair plates bolted on, instead of repairing properly. The canal should be from the Trevor basin to near the queen's hotel/pub. But.......
Unfortunately in the modern era and after spending a lot of my life on a canal boat... there are a lot of people who some some strong opinions on the work of the Canal and River Trust throughout the network.
