tiger1962 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Thanks for those great shots Michael! I've been over that aqueduct on my parent's narrowboat four times - there's a towpath on one side only, on the other side there's only a few inches of cast iron between you and thin air, the cast iron is lower than the deck of the narrowboat and there's a sewage treatment works beneath that side too. They should issue parachutes at each end! Edited March 21, 2020 by tiger1962 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

peer01 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Gary, just because I'm a friend, you're very close to some nose treatments. If I may say so. Tiger 62 / Tim: I walked over the towpath and looked at the beautiful narrow boats in the canal and on the aqueduct. Awesome! I also witnessed the "unplugging" years ago. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should issue parachutes at each end! [ATTACH=CONFIG]216680[/ATTACH] Hey Tim, Molly and I have narrowboated across it too. In fact the last trip over we traversed the Falkirk Wheel as well. Having said that, the highlight of our last trip was riding a motorcycle on the Isle of Mann TT course!! No I didn't turn a 100mph+ lap! But being an old flat track and road bike racer in the US, riding the Isle circuit was truly high on my bucket list!! Sadly it doesn't appear we'll make the trip over this year!!:mad: We had reservations to make the trip to and from on the Queen Mary II with a couple of friends again. But I'm pretty sure we'll be lucky to get far out of Kentucky this summer! Michael BTW: I'm shocked at how well the ORBX and Scotflight for ORBX portrayed both the Aqueduct and the Falkirk Wheel! Either one to me, could almost resemble a picture they are so well done! Edited March 22, 2020 by Rupert Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

I'm just curious, since I read it was drained to do repair work, I have to wonder. Did you watch the "unplugging" or cause the "unplugging?" :p Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
