    I’m 59 and am still as excited and completely in awe of nature in all her colours. It’s great to see your passion for nature.......and super torches.

    As you were walking over the aqueduct and showing the trees and snow below the song from The Snowman came into my head. You were walking in the air. I’m not familiar with music you were playing, but it is lovely. Yes you are very lucky to live in such beautiful surroundings. A very feel good video. ❄️☃️

      That’s a great observation! The music is called Allegro by Emmit Fenn. You should be able to download it for free from the “audio library” in your TH-cam account somewhere!

    How beautiful. It's what I imagine heaven would be like. One day I hope to make it there on my boat, when I finally get it. Can't wait to see your new boat. Thanks so much for posting- made my day!!!

    Thanks so much for filming this beautiful, magical Winter Wonderland, I really enjoyed it as we haven't had proper snow in our part of England, from ages. I really love how you enjoyed the magical scenery and that wonderful silence when it snows, even though it was freezing cold. Thanks again, hope you had a nice hot cuppa afterwards.

    Beautiful shots as always Dan. We have had about a 6 inches of snow overnight and an amazing bluebird sky morning, one of those days that makes you glad to be alive if you know what I mean. Brings out the excited inner ten year old in me!

    Dan, that is my favorite lift bridge. I saw it on a video called "Llangollen Canal - Late 1970's" and fell in love with it so I always try to spot it when vloggers are on the Llangollen. You gave me a close up view! On a beautiful snowy day! 🥰

    • @SortOfInteresting
      @SortOfInteresting  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes I love the fact that it has the extra little footbridge with it too! I am sure I must have some other close ups in videos, I will report back tomorrow with a video link. Also, I actually walked this section of canal within minutes of the year starting… it was a lot darker that time though! 😂

      Believe it or not... it is still snowing here, seems there might have been a lull at some point as it's only about 6 inches deep average. But that's still way more snow than we normally get!

      Thank you! Yes, I have indeed sold up, but I am still always out and about on the canal and in the surrounding countryside! I originally had some clips of me walking up to the Trevor Basin talking about how cars couldn't get through the hilly village of Cefn or Trevor where I was walking from behind me, but I cut that out to get straight to the scenery!

    Does the canal ever freeze over?

    • @SortOfInteresting
      @SortOfInteresting  ปีที่แล้ว

      In some places it will freeze very regularly during winter, but around this area on the main flow of the canal I have only seen it freeze once in the last decade! (The basin here with all the boats will freeze at some point during most winters though because it is basically standing water!)

    Where is your partner? I realise that, while she may have tired of being "famous," it'd be nice to see her, no matter how briefly. Things like winter on a boat (32' sailboat, winter of '73-'74 at False Creek Marina in Vancouver) are much more tolerable with a partner. I speak from some experience.
