Vlog 102 Bridges: Johns’ Diary
Continuing down the Shropshire Union canal and going under an awful lot of bridges. I mean, a really amazing number in quick succession including one very well-known one. Plus a water refill and a bit of stickiness as I try to be a good boater.
The Shroppie certainly seems like one long linear mooring at times. I once spent a fortnight doing the whole length of it and back (Gailey on the S&W to Ellesmere Port and return) and the hours I spent with the boat on tickover going past moored boats drove me nuts. (Yes, I know, when boating you’re supposed to chill out and admire the view, but my patience was tried.)
Yes, too much of it can be trying for sure!
Greetings from Canada, followed you from day 1.
As ex- Brits from Worcestershire area lots of places are so familiar’
Doing a great job,
Thank you – I too hail from Worcestershire originally and, as you’ll see, head back to Droitwich in a vlog coming soon. And I go through Worcester on the Severn as well. Cheers!
I spy lots of Thomas Telford and Sir William Cubitt engineering in your bridges blog. Wonderful stuff!
Haha, if anyone’s going to spot it, it will be you! Hope all’s well down there. Cheers
