Hail to the Hive!

Well It has been amazing. Our expectations of the area, the aqueducts and the canals here have all been exceeded. Such an amazing place.

Waking up here, on the boat, surrounded by this beauty has been special.

And the Aqueducts, the reason we came, did not disappoint!

My fear of heights was well and truly tested as we made our way over the Pontcysyllte aqueduct many times in badger the narrowboat.

I can't lie as I did feel exposed and vulnerable as we crossed over the valley nd over the river Dee in Badger on what looks like the thinnest sliver of water in an elongated iron trough.

But I managed to settle my nerves ( the sneaky beer did help) and get us across on multiple occasions without incident.

With the passengers smiling and hopefully not just out of relief from being alive after the crossing.

No they are genuine smiles of glee.

So I'll drink to that!

Haha glad you liked that one bro. I don’t do scripts with the vlogs i just rattle em off so i do enjoy it when other also enjoy my nonsense. Trying to edit one at the moment but i am struggling with motivation at the moment. Need a coffee I think to give me a kick in the arse

Omgggggggg, that's like being in a boat, in a 'drain', ON (not under) a bridge, going OVER land and river! And that IS high!!! And no handrails on one side (not that the Badger would need one... buttt....) Gorgeous views all round.... and throughout your video! :)
