Absolute mad lad! :D These boating vids are fascinating, i have no knowledge or experience in this area and this is an interesting insight to a world I never knew existed.
@@LiquidFlavor1982 Yes, that's originally the "towpath" for the horse pulling the boat - in 1795 boats with engines were still more than a century into the future. There's sign at both ends of the aqueduct requesting that people walk their bikes across - the wind can get very strong blowing down the valley.
I actually came back then went over again and carried on my journey. The canal continues along clinging to the side of steep wooded valleys then through some narrow rock cuttings for about another 4 miles (6 & 1/2km) before terminating in a basin above a pretty town called Llangollen in the Welsh Hills - which is where I'm moored now. The last section is quite a tricky navigation - it's narrow, shallow *and* you're fighting a current.
archimede laws right ? your boat move more water than is weight that why you float with it so when you take the aqueduct bridge you should be fine , since the volume/weight of water your boat use to float should be much more than 20 tons right ? btw , you need a licence to sail wtih these boats ? what the deal in UK with boats in canals ?
Absolutely correct Moreno! I know that - but it gives the video more drama to pretend it doesn't exist 😊 Unlike a road bridge, where the stress constantly changes according to the weight of the vehicles, the compressive stress on an aqueduct is extremely stable. If fifteen boats each weighing (displacing) 30 tons crossed at the same time the stress is exactly the same as if a one man paddles across in a canoe.
Yes a yearly license is required to keep a boat on the canal system. A bit like road tax for a vehicle - this pays for the maintenance of the system - (locks, dredging etc) and the use of water points/ sewage and other facilities. Oddly you don't need a licence to "drive" a boat though...
Oh man I just love your chilled boating vids... Looks like bliss :-)
Glad you enjoy! :)
Better than Mission Impossible...
Cool 😊 Unfortunately I'm not getting paid as much as Tom Cruise...
Wales is stunning. I’m not sure how you kept the camera so steady, I’m shaking watching that 😱
Yes, it was quite thrilling! Yeah Wales is absolutely gorgeous in some parts 👍
Fantastic experience . And its even not raining 😀
Haha!
Kinda tranquil and exhilarating at the same time - like a Cosmosis chill track.
Haha :)
Going over that was my introduction to canal boating and I was hooked.
👍

You're welcome 🙂
