Great Vlog David – do you still like eating cheese sandwich s? Keep safe on the cut ! And keep the Vlogs coming cheers dude!
Absolutely, I live on cheese sandwiches!
Great to see an amazing piece of our waterways engineering history revived & resurrected in the reopening of what IS even by today’s standards a truly phenomenal undertaking..
Proof that EVERYTHING back in the day was built to last.. unlike today it seems..
Works such as this can never be forgotten & consigned to the history books alone..
Fantastic docu vlog and kudos to all of those involved in the renovation & continuing maintenance works required.
Thank for the time & usual dedication & professionalism you put into all of your productions David.
Kindest regards
Daren Henley
Thanks Daren, I’m pleased you enjoyed it. It was a great trip :-)
Great vlog David, thank you. I should imagine that would be quite daunting as a solo passage maker.
It’s OK since you have the CRT guide aboard – what’s worse as a solo boater are the many, many locks before (and indeed after) the tunnel!
Without any doubt David your best vlog ever! What an amazing tunnel. We think we’re clever, but how on earth those men built it before mechanisation is beyond me! Perhaps a future idea for a vlog is how some of these tunnels were surveyed, planned and built? Absolutely incredible – and I’m not easily impressed! Well done young man.
Thank you Barry. I was quite pleased with how this one came out!
Very cool, but I couldn’t do this tunnel. :-) I got vertigo just watching the
roof go by. :-) Good job. Awesome the work they did to get this going.
On to watch through your fingers!
What a truly amazing piece of construction work notwithstanding the time it was carried out and the facilities available at the time. As for the Leggers – incredible! Thanks for that, David – fascinating watch!
Cheers Steve, glad you enjoyed it :-)
