Joining two countries by canal

Cracking video my man, very interesting. I'd love to know which dodgy local councillor approved those awful bricks used to clad the bridge

That bridge should not have cost £1 million, that's insane.

Great to see all the progress . Remember walking the Frankton to Queens Head section with WRG in the seventies

The ££ million bridge is crap. Looks like some hornby design in blender with brick.bridge + gabions as a box set!! They could have done better than that. Lets hope some ivy or japanese knot weed grows fast and covers this disgrace.. .. ;-))

waste of money

Drone footage is good, what make ia it?

I would feel a bit happier if something was happening in the welsh section of the canal. The Newtown end is being filled in as fast as possible and built on. There is a short stretch round Welshpool that was restored back in the late 1980’s but from Berriew through Abermule to Newtown it has become a stagnant weed chocked ditch.

Bloody brill mate , really nice tp see , i walked the as a kid to St Helens Sankey canal , now all gone for a ball of chalk

There's loads of canal work going on in Wiltshire as well good to see the water ways being restored back into use

What countries

Please slow your presentation down, it all sounds so rushed, instead of calming us.

Regarding nesting birds, it's not that they don't want to disturb them, it's a criminal offence to do so.
( Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981, Section 1 )

Your platform just "appeared".

Good stuff mate, very interesting.

Thanks.

Someone always has to moan 😮

Doesn't look very wildlife friendly.

Due to the angle of filming, the canal doesn't look that deep really good video

Just discovered your excellent channel. Subscribed.

So replacing with a bodge job leaking in 30 years

That concrete lining will be murder on the hull of a boat, scrape the blacking right off. 😮

that is a very impressive and great project that coming along nicely

I do wish he would not talk so fast.

Great progress in surmounting some formidable challenges - not least in raising the finance to intall that impressive bridge. Making the canal 'leakproof' doesn't come cheap either. Thanks for the update.

Very encouraging. After your next visit could we have an unobstructed O S extract or similar to see the environs and border. Last time I used geotextile sheeting it was not waterproof but used to give a stable base for interlocking concrete paviours through which some surface water was encouraged to percolate..

Fascinating to see all the work that’s going on! I was born and brought up in the area (although I moved away many years ago) but well remember what the canal looked like in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s! Thanks for the great video!
