Racing Another Canal Closure… to Chirk Aqueduct ❄️ Winter Narrowboat Life

Описание: This week’s vlog sees me cruising solo along one of the most beautiful — and currently most cut-off — stretches of canal in the UK…

Starting just after the incredible Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, I make my way toward Chirk — but this isn’t just a leisurely cruise.

With the New Marton Locks closing for urgent repairs, and the Llangollen Canal already isolated due to the Whitchurch breach, I need to get through before the stoppage begins… or risk being stuck on this small section for weeks.

Along the way I cross the stunning Chirk Aqueduct, pass through both Whitehouse Tunnel and Chirk Tunnel, and moor up at Chirk Bank where Gabby joins me for a land-based adventure.

Together we explore the fascinating Chirk Castle — packed with history, hauntings, and borderland drama — before finishing the day at The Bridge Inn… the last pub in England, overlooking the aqueduct and viaduct with some of the best views on the canal.

A vlog full of cruising, castles, canal logistics… and a well-earned pint.

Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Jolly Roger and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my floating home making badges and trading at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.
