Always associate Scotland with engineering. Travelled around Ireland a lot but not encountered a "swing bridge". Maybe forthcoming upgrade of River Shannon might feature one or two!! But who doesn't yearn for the romantic nostalgia of the ferryman, not sure Chris de burgh would have had the chart topper with swing bridge in the lyrics. Good job John, fascinating watch, nice music. Loved the barge pic. ❤
Great vid John, that was a you tube recommendation for me and very peaceful and enjoyable on this windy sunday afternoon. Jolly decent of them to operate all 3 bridges just for your video taking purposes, the car drivers may not share your appreciation. The 3rd bridge opening was spear headed by a duck who must have felt very honoured at the respect shown to him...or her...and will later be recounting his/her adventure in their duck pub later. Quite a slick operation I thought, unlike the level crossing shutting at Billingshurst when they close the road 5 minutes before the train comes through (it's probably late so they have no choice.) Thanks John, I enjoyed that.
fascinating!! the bridges moved quicker than I would have thought.. we've invested in a microcamper, so will be having adventures next year , using your vids a tour guides!!
Thanks for sharing John Hope you are both well.

Nice smooth drone control John, was this recorded with the Mavic or Mini 3?
It was the Mavic, Lyall 😊
Thought as much John, I love the way they move.
