    Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie,
    OMG what an adventure you have had this week. From postal vans using the toe path, to running out of food, to locals who can't tell you if there are any grocery shops, to Captain Ernie not being allowed into the pub. What is the world coming to? Imagine if you had broken down part way along. It could be months before anyone found you lol. At least Captain Ernie would share his rations; if of course you shared yours at the pub. Still can't get over that Captain Ernie was not able to sit inside the pub and share a pint or two with you. By the way does Captain Ernie enjoy beer??
    Take care guys and hope the sun shines on you.

      Don't tempt fate with the break down part 🫣🤣 I never eat a meal without giving Ernie a little taster so he was well looked after at the pub despite not being allowed in 🫣 I've never given him beer, it's a slippery slope incase he gets the taste for it 🤣🤣 😊

    Beautiful drone footage of Llangollen. Our first time narrowboating this summer was there and back, and it really was just a lovely spot we wish we could have spent more time there. Looks like you had beautiful weather. And just how much faster it is going with the flow rather than against it on the way back! The Mongomery looks great, glad you found a pub for dindins and hope you found a shop, ha

    • @uponreflection
      @uponreflection  28 днів тому

      It was lovely to see the Montgomery canal restored again. My Grandfather was lock keeper at Aston lower lock.Sadly the lock house is demolished but my grand dad's office still stands though very poor condition. When the canal was closed my grandparents moved to live at Queens Head. Though quite pretty with a nature reserve I preferred it how it used to be.Anyway thank you for showing the canal now it is navigable again.

    On the plus side, the Weather's warming up slightly next week.
    Might have been a bit to much Salt in the Bread mix Paul, it can kill the Yeasty beasties, about half a Teaspoon should be fine. All other ratios sound fine though. If you mix your dough in a mixing bowl, cover with a shower cap & leave overnight, (at least 8 hours,) shape in morning & Bake, you'll not have to knead it at all, & it tastes like sourdough bread.🍞
    TFS, & take care you 3.👍🐶

    An “A*” for the intro 🤓 I suspect you are now out of the area, but if you come back and have the car as its too far to walk too, turn right out of the basin and you will get to the “Horseshoe Pass”. Then on top of there are the views of Eryri to the left and the Ponderosa Café and walks from there. Also, given Paul’s passed carpenter trade you would enjoy “Plas Newydd Historic House”. Which is passed you fudge shop up to the traffic lights, turn left and then first right. The café and grounds are not bad either.

    We did the Montgomery as people said while on the llangollen it’s got to be done. Well… to be honest we thought it was a waste of diesel. A canal having nothing doesn’t make it nice and peaceful etc. mooring’s? View’s ( we went in the summer and reed’s 10ft high). We did it and if someone asked I’d say don’t bother in your boat but walk it. Good video though 😊😂

      Yes he does all that, it actually tasted OK, think we cut into it a bit too early so it hadn't fully finished its process 😊

    it will be the kayak getting crushed by your 8 tons of steel 'what you doing mate' . show a bit of maturity

      Our boat is more like 20tons so yes you're right with the fact that it would be the kayak that suffers. I think maybe you misunderstand how a narrowboat manoeuvres as the kayaks were in the same line as the narrow aqueduct it would be impossible to move the boat to avoid them until our back is off the tight aqueduct and with us being 68ft long and with the kayak instructor being closer and in our line we had no choice but to jump off and pull the front away from them as our back was still on the aqueduct. I hope that helps to explain why what the instructor did was a dangerous move. 😳
