    Thanks for your interest in the vid. Our 360 camera also does amazing photos. Here is one from the top of the aquaduct facebook.com/114812633257230/posts/537729757632180/

    How cool was that aqueduct, and even more awesome to see a canal boat using it too! :-) It is a beautiful part of the world.

    Yes the Horseshoe pass itself is not much to shout about but perhaps surrounding area tied in makes it ok always better when you can stop at cafe as well.

    • @Banditmanuk

      Yes shame the Ponderosa cafe was closed, opened again the following day. There is some great riding in the area and it's well worth a visit

    Very impressive structure that aqueduct, and really well filmed. Hard to judge a road unless you have a free run isn’t it.
    Another great video, thank you both 👍🏼

      Yes the aquaduct is amazing, especially for when it was built. As for the road, I think it is a great road when there's not so much traffic. Thanks for watching and hope your drone makes a recovery 👍

    We love Wales. Some awesome biking roads. We were there at the aqueduct last Sept. I was a bit wary about walking on the top as I don't do heights! But glad I did in the end. It must be worse being on a narrowboat as there's no barrier the other side! 🙈 We are Wales in 2 weeks' time and want to revisit Horseshoe Pass and ride up to Betys y Coed and Llanberis pass. Fab scenery.
    Great drone footage too!! 👍

    • @Banditmanuk

      The American lady in the narrow boat didn't seem too sure about being up there! Glad we did it and we are also looking forward to longer visits to explore Wales.
      Hope you enjoy your trip and thanks for stopping by our little vid. Cheers

    Great video as always! The 360 camera adds a great perspective. Well done too for venturing out in your biking boots, I bet the stroll warmed you up! 🤣 Finally, it makes a massive difference to a ride if you get ‘crap’ cars in front of you, to use Carol’s terminology! 😁👍

      Thanks for the kind words, we do like the 360 camera but try not to spin it around to much on the bike. Got a great 360 photo with it on the day.... Will attempt to link the Banditmanuk Facebook pic.

    Great drone footage of the aquaduct, and enjoying your 'less is more' use with the 360. Have to say some of those 'special effects' some folks are using make me feel quite queasy. Sorry I dont use FB so not allowed to view the photo.

    • @Banditmanuk
      @Banditmanuk  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Paul, I'm trying not to over use the new 360 camera. Like you, I believe it can be nausea inducing but it does allow you to frame some incredible shots.
      You are not missing much on Facebook but it's one of the few platforms that allows you to upload a 360 image. Ours is simply a selfie pic from the top centre of the aqueduct but you can drag the image around to look both ways along the canal or straight down!

      @@Banditmanuk I too have walked over that aquaduct, it's very impressive! Last time I was in Llangollen I missed the turning for 'The Horseshoe Pass' and ended up on a road not even on my map...in some places there was grass growing in the middle of the 'single track' road. I was well and truly lost...eventually it joined the A5 7 miles out of Llangollen. I was treated to some spectacular views and at times the road ran parallel to the River Dee, not a 'Best Biking' road for sure.... but stunning views...and all captured on my £25 Chinese helmet camera :-) (coincidentally I've just sent a friend some 'screenshots' from that video. Spooky) 2017

    Gonna be honest... as a Welsh speaker, even those locals didn't get the pronunciation right. Carol nearly got the 'll' tho fair play.... nearly.

      🙄🙄 I'm so sorry Steve, I can only throw my self on my knees and beg the forgiveness of every Welsh speaker.
      If its any consolation, the Scots hated my pronunciations when we were on tour up there. Time to let Carol do the talking and I'll just nod like I do at home. 🏡 Thanks for watching
