    Hi Josh great video mate very educational got me thinking about wildlife on the disused canals v the ones currently being restored must certainly be a balancing act for the restorers and the nature conservationists. Keep up the good work - cheers 👍

      Thanks Jane from New Zealand. Andy is enjoying his job as a Baker it's a bit different to what he is used to. Chef hours are usually too long and didn't want lots of hours as we love cruising. New Zealand is a wonderful place to live my son and daughter in law travelled around there and got a job in a kennels near Auckland for 18 months. Back in 2016 I travelled for 6 weeks with them they had a cameraman and I slept in a tent. What a fantastic time I had most of it was on the south island. An amazing place.

      Keep watching Paul as Josh is doing a 5 parts vlog on the Montgomery. As you know you can only take Olive down 7 miles of it. But Josh and I have walked the other 28 miles un navigable part. Hope you enjoy it when it's out. Josh and I only have the last 5 miles to Newtown to do.

    Lovely vlog guys just started following you. I was brought up right on the Llangollen canal at Hampton Bank Bridge no50 , lots of fond memories, my dad when he was alive built a steam boat and moored it at Whixhall marina, I never knew about the nature reserve though, mum lives In market drayton with my brother and we stay at quina Brook a few times of year to visit, I never knew the Prees branch went that far. Brilliant informative vlog, you have now got me hooked , particularly as you are in my old stopping ground, can't wait for next vlog probably by my old house I reckon 😀.

      What a lovely part of the country to be bought up in. Its so beautiful around here on the Llangollen loving every minute of it. Heading into the basin in a few days. Can't wait to explore the rest of the area.

      The canal maybe very busy but understandably so as its so lovely . I took it for granted as a child then moved away and then mum sold up when dad died. We get up there when we can and eventually hope to retire up there one day. Have taken 2 narrowboat holidays along there too for old times sake. Have fun x

    • @darkmatterxi
      @darkmatterxi 3 роки тому +1

      It's so much quieter now on the Llangollen canal as there are not many hire boats out now. Only saw 4 today compared to half term when 73 boats came past us in one day.

    Great video, just a bit concerned that the toll cottage has been captured by the French! , reprisals for not giving then enough fishing licences perhaps ?
