Well done ,keep going ,look forward to the next episode

Sun, sea n sunshine. Go on yir sel. I like a good pedal about too. I saw a bike shoehorned into your forward cabin. Happy adventures. I wonder if you'll get figs soon on your wee fig tree. 👍

To each his own. I couldn’t live on an old boat, but enjoy

Awesome channel, really nice to see from the air too thanks for the videos and I want a hat like yours 😃🤠🎩

Really interesting to see how much work goes into restoration of a canal. It will become a huge asset as soon as it reopens.

Brilliant video! I really enjoy seeing all the work going on in my old “homeland”! Thanks!

You do make a good pleasant video. Totally enjoy all others done Chris x

They're doing ever so well!

Great to see the progress

I think the problem with the driver was that you briefly turned the camera to film him and said 'smile your on candid camera', if you hadn't done that he would most likely have carried on. When one is filming you should really be respectful for others privacy (regardless of the laws relating to what you can and can't do). In this case you could have easily avoided the issue, maybe consider this next time.

P.S. I don't know if you'd be interested in joining Railway Ramblers - a nationwide group dedicated to walking disused railway tracks (with permission where required). Sections around Llanymynach (not too far from you) link with the canal and have some surprising extant buildings! 🙂

Da iawn! both the film and the 'winding hole' comment 🤗

I'm glad you took my comment in the positive way it was intended 🤗.... a couple of things about the Monty you might not find elsewhere. Tom Rolt - joint founder of the IWA and saviour of the Tal-y-llyn railway made his home in and wrote "Narrowboat" aboard 'Cressy' a converted working (I believe fly-boat) which had previously been owned by the Peate mill family along the said canal. If you want to get an idea of the canal back in the day, the 1998 BBC production of Our Mutual Friend includes Paul McGann using one of the locks - where a murder takes place!!! (The giveaway being the very unusual wheel lock paddle gear). Hope you also make it to the Mon-Brec (originally two canals:- The Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal, and the Monmouthshire Canal) where there are substantial remnants of the iron master 'Cosher Bailey' and his activities. Hope that's not too much information 🤔

The turning points are "winding" holes as they originally used WIND power to push the stern round. Please dont wind us up 😉

It’s a black elderberry. Sambucus nigra is the latin

Well done Colin ,as you rightly say it will be brilliant when completed such dedication by the volunteers they should be quite rightly proud of themselves

Great video! Fascinating to see all the hard work going on to restore the canal.

Agreed from an ex NARROWBOATER it always annoyed me to 😊😊

Just found your channel and enjoyed the video. Just been on the Monty myself which is beautiful.

Interesting video, but awful "elevator musak".

I suppose plentiful supply of cinder blocks as they are a recycle product.

good video, 2:21 that job is quite well done. greetings.

Please NOT "Barges" they are "Narrowboats"

I'd like to know if this moisture barrier cinder block treatment is studied to last for many generations as the previous canal construction has. The moisture barrier being held down by solid cinder blocks looks beautifully simple, but the cinder blocks hold water that will break them apart when the water freezes. Fresh water starts to expand below 4°C until if freezes with 9% expansion. Since the blocks are being used as hold down weight and protection for the moisture barrier it is likely thought if it they break apart into gravels they will still perform their task. As nearly buoyant small water logged gravels they can be easily picked up and spread by canal boat wakes. Since much of the water in the canal will remain liquid the damage will take place around the water line which would move downward with poor water level care. I see the cinder blocks are not going as high as the what would look like the normal water line.

nosey cupid stunts

Why did they go with block lining like that? I'm guessing a lack of clay quarries.

I wonder why they’ve build up onto the bund rather than laying it through and putting a clay bund back, surely that’s lots more work when it comes to the next section

A couple of 'barges'?!

I used to go to Llanymynech C of E primary school just up the road from the loo! I remember it being built! I had a friend who lived in one of the houses just to the right of the building!

A huge amount of work! Thanks for the video!

they have been busy thanks for the update

Freedom to photograph and film Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel.

I’ve only just found your channel and I’ve really enjoyed the videos about the canal in Pant and Llanymynech. Having lived in the two villages it’s nice to be able to see the area again (I moved to South Wales many years ago). Keep up the good work!

The Wharfingers house is situated at Carreghofa locks near Llanymynech see write up below

Approx 40 odd years ago we rented The wharfingers cottage on the Montgomery canal in Llanymynech a couple of years running when it was a holiday cottage let it was on the first section of the canal to be renovated it was next to the lock and a bridge way up behind the cottage was the site of what looked like the old railway marshalling yard your vlog brought back some happy memories ,i was hoping you would pass the cottage but you turned and went in the opposite direction direction maybe one day you might pass the cottage , many thanks for evoking my very happy memories Terence hammond

Looking good, great progress

I was filming on the Chesterfield today, I use a drone and a woman who worked for the council tried to tell me I wasn’t allowed to fly a drone in the whole of Derbyshire. I think she confused the council with the Civil Aviation Authority. I soon explained how wrong she was and we had a pleasant conversation after but it does show how even council people have little knowledge of the rules around filming on public land.

Great video it will look great when its back in water

Great video, well done and ignore the person in the car.

There’s one on every corner but just recently there does seem to be more corners, the man’s an idiot.

Great video, thanks.

Thank you for this video . I lived in Knockin village for a short time & explored the surrounding area . But never made it to Llanymynech I missed a gem . Very interesting I hope you do a follow-up video when the canal is restored its a beautiful location with an amazing history.😀👍

Thanks for the video, I make similar videos on old canals, I’ve just visited the area for the new bridge and will come back and cover this section at some point. Thanks for an informative video

So nice 😍

Watching from Australia ,send me some rain.

I am from Malaysia,a country in Southeast Asia,and frankly speaking,it is a very ingenious idea of someone turning the loo to a restaurant.

Niceeee

Nice
