Yeah - I always react with Snowmageddon ! when it snowa - sarcasm ;) Thanks for watching - I also spell it differently every time. I've been to France when it snowed 8 foot over night ;) I've tried to go to America from Canada on the coldest day - we crashed off the road :) ( I wasn't driving ).

Lol yeah I can tell you are from around ‘ere :) I hope you don’t mind me crashing in on your video ? Top work as ever.

@ not at all! Got family on poco, gran lived on pervil road!

@@RingwayManchestercheers - I grew up off Wythenshawe Road so my jumble sales were at Button ( Rashford ) Lane School 😂 - I went to Brookway

@@gingermanc ah yes! I grew up in baguley!

Cheers buddy !

Oh Holy Hell ! How the eff did I miss that howler - thanks very much @mb-3faze - that would irritate me too - I'm just going to fix that right now ! Some TH-camrs do this kind of thing on purpose to get people to comment - I'm not a TH-camr.

looking on the map I estimate the gap is about 80 metres. I looked at it here. www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3819553,-2.4090361,335m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDEwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Thankyou :) it was very cold

I’ve made over 15 fpv drones from components and got this one 4 years ago. I’ve flown over and under this canal a few times and once hit the ice 😂

Thanks - I’ll go back after the snow

The government will be delighted that this canal is owned by a private company, and not the CRT.

@ Yes this maybe the case, but it doesn’t solve the issue of shareholders profits before heritage ruin, CEO sitting on 6 figures whilst twiddling their Thumbs doing SFA, except coming out of the office for a good photo shoot, I have written to Lisa Nandy asking what the her as minister and the government intentions are when certain contracts come to an end, we can no longer put profit and privatisation before heritage, it’s shameful.

Apparently Peel Holdings are going to do something about it - I have asked my train line engineer freind… He may comment on here.

Yes this video is just a copy of @Taylors Aboard a Narrowboat footage music included

No this is my footage and I chose the music here too ;) I was here to film the day after Storm Daragh before the breach whenever that was, but I forgot my sd card for my drone. I’ve got some nice pics though from the drone ( your phone will record the pics ). I’ll upload those too. I was up at 7am to record after Darragh. I live local and have flown here a few times, cycled here, walked here, been to funerals around here, fed the ducks in Dunham park here, looked for mushrooms, photographed the deer, been shot at by farmers here, loved here, drank at The Swan with Two Nicks, eaten at Home (gone now), and been to its previous incarnation pub. I’m local. I look like electronic music. See the drone flying under the bridge video here. I’ve flown fpv drones around here. I’ve fallen in the canal. The other guy is not from around here, but I do recommend you checking his videos out, because he’s a pro TH-camr and he’s now a bit stuck. So, no, not a copy ;) I planned to come here New Year’s Day morning early, as mentioned. Before I knew about the breach. but I didn’t sleep until 5am due to a massive headache. So I would have been one of the first to cover it. ( but I would have been very lucky ).

I will try to ee if I have some - you should see a link at the end of this video to a video from Summer 2023 in roughly the same area, but past the bridge. You do see a short moment of the canal. I did film where the slip occured once in the winter when the canal was frozen, and managed to bounce the drone off the ice. The ground detection on the drone was fooled by the ice. It's a good job it was thickly frozen. ( I'm looking through my sd cards for footage ). I have also just made a quick video of the day after Storm Darragh, which I managed to get some stills of. Thanks for watching and commenting ;)

Cheers - I wil go back during daylight :) The colours will be more muted then but the detail might be higher. Thanks for watching.

@@ripghyll2050 not really ! but as you wish. ;)

I've only expored a bit of the Manchester Ship Canal, I was going to do a freestyle FPV video around that closed bridge - but all my GoPros flew away or broke - ( aside >> despite me having a John Lewis extended warranty - they refused to replace mine - I won't be ever buying from them again - I have purchased a lot from them. ). Ive walked around the Warburton Toll bridge looking for a spot to fly, but felt stink face stares from angry land owners and the frustration from frisky horses.

Hello, he's got some great insight - he is also a professional TH-camr. I only have a 2013 Macbook Pro, but I can do great things - I'm no @MartinZero, or @TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat with my 60 subscribers. I went at dusk and missed the light, I went a little too late. I was going to go there on New Years Day, before I heard about the breach - that would have been a shocker for me. I went there after storm Darragh at 7am to get the sunrise - but forgot to put an SD card in the drone - I got some lovely photos though. I will go and try to get some lovely snow scenes from around there as soon as it snows and lets up. I will try to get a consistent exposure, and link some good sequences together. Thanks for your input and for watching my - essentially raw footage. I would like to do TH-cam as a job. I once got 8 million views on something and was taken down ( in the very eary days ). That was fun, but TH-cam stopped me from entering a paid program for that. This was a long time ago, and was not quality content. ( Wayne Rooney's bicycle kick ).

work for Peel Holdings do you?

It's going to be interesting ! The 1971 fix was obviously only for 50 years ! I sometimes drink in the Navigation, or The Old Steam Packet and wonder if any real Navis went in those pubs - I do not know if they are even old enough.

Thanks - I'll try and go back when the sun is higher in the sky, possibly after some snow, or early to catch the mist.

Portable dams should have been erected as close to each side of the breach as soon as possible....ideally within 24hrs of the breach, to reduce the scour damage to the canal bed. The longer it is left like this the greater the damage and the greater the cost/time to repair!!

Hi some huge boards were placed in under a bridge where there is a pre-existing slot for such an occurrence - they are leaky as hell, but were there prety quick, otherwise the whole canal would have drained out. I recon they will add some dirt or something - plastic ? to make it less leaky. I think I saw a crane boat on New Years day near Dunham Town next to the little bridge there - I think that is where they put the boards in - I'll ride my bike down there and take a look.

I’m thinking you had a glitch ! It’s ok for everyone else ! Have a good one :)

Alright mate - I've not got many good batteries - I would like to power loop some bridges - I usually end up in the water or in a tree though :) Maybe I'll check some of my batteries - also my main good charger caught fire. I have an Ethix one though.

I went over my handlebars on that stretch of the canal about five years ago now but it was closer to Ye Olde No.3. That bike was one size too large for me so it wasn't that stable anyway.

@@IIJOSEPHXIII hope you’ve recovered. Maybe someone saw and wet them self laughing ?

Cheers my loyal subscriber :)

Thanks Sylveseter, No it's from an old goPro Hero 4 Session - the square one - with reprinted case ( I took apart because they overheat and die ) - I would like to do this - count the cars and police cars, and add the speed too using machine learning. I have included the ffmpeg command I used to compile it. I will try other lapses - eg this was every 2 seconds for 24 hours. I'll do every 1/2 second and every 10 seconds and compile to 60fps. The William Tell Overture. I have some Pis - was gonna use a small one to stream to the Pi 5 to do the machine learning. Unfurtunately my 2 better goPros flew away on drones FFS ! I could have used them to stream to the Pi or other computers I have - I have 11 old iMacs :)

Thanks very much :) A good one to zone out to - I would like to do more away from my house but don't want to leave cameras alone for hours. The Go Pro used has been taken out of it's case because it would over heat and stop the timelapse. I'll possibly reprint a larger case with a huge battery, and possibly disguise it as something else :) I added classical music since your comment. The William Tell Overture.

Thanks - you are too kind :) I was trying to find out why my mum's cat was getting fleas :) Probably from the fox she hangs out with.

Привет, я приду после того, как Путин будет свергнут. Надеюсь, это произойдет в ближайшее время, и вы сможете вернуться к нормальной жизни. Запад не хочет нападать на Россию, но он это сделает, если Россия продолжит запугивать своих соседей. Я знаю, что это не ваша вина, но здесь мы бы восстали, и народ остановил бы правительство.

Yummy snails 🐌 or mushrooms 🍄 😂 ?

Yep it’s under way last night. It’s my mum’s 4K trail cam so it’s got extra solar powered battery pack in addition to being waterproof. I could have cropped it too as it was from quite hi res pics.
