Llangollen Canal DVD is almost finished
We’ve almost finished the Llangollen Canal DVD, filmed earlier this year. We sent it out to family and friends as proof readers (or is it proof watchers) in Thursday’s post and I’m sure they will find any mistakes that have crept in and let me have suggestions about improving the final version. I’ve already had excellent comments from Ian Hall, and I’m sure other comments will follow soon. The DVD starts at Hurleston Junction and follows the Llangollen Canal all the way to the River Dee at Llangollen. We cover the staircase locks at Grindley Brook, the three tunnels and the aqueducts at Chirk and Pontcysyllte. As a bonus we also cover the navigable northern section of the Montgomery Canal. This descends through the staircase locks at Frankton Junction, and finishes just beyond Maesbury Marsh. Assuming the proof readers don’t find anything major the finished version should be available in about 3 weeks time.
One of the first boats to appear in the DVD as we climb the locks at Hurleston Junction is Rose, the Bywater Holiday Cruise hotel boat. I chatted to John and Hanna as we passed and they kindly allowed me to film inside the boat. I was wondering when to tell them they had made it into the final version of the DVD. Looking out of the front window today I spotted them coming and got the camera out. Just time to shout to Hanna, who looked surprised to be recognised, that they had made it into the DVD.
