This is our biggest day on the canals! We leave England, cross the highest aqueduct in the world, go through the longest, darkest tunnel in Wales and make our way to the source of it all, horseshoe falls. We've dubbed it the MOST DANGEROUS NARROWBOAT ADVENTURE in Great Britain!

___________________________
We have crossed a lot of borders by land, air, and sea. But never have we ever had anything as stunning, or as memorable, as this crossing from England to Wales by narrowboat.
If I had to describe navigating the Llangollen canal in one sentence, it would be: High action in slow motion. The first 11 miles are designated as a world heritage site for its beauty and historic engineering…and it’s easy to see why.
Join us today as we cross the stream in the sky (aka the highest aqueduct in the world), go through the longest, darkest tunnel in Wales and make our way to the source of it all, horseshoe falls. This is the day we’ve been waiting for and the whole reason we choose this canal as our first narrowboat adventure. And no, it won’t be our last!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

I’m so confused about this beer engine? Please explain! I bartended for over 20 years and my parents owned a tavern (beer and wine only) and a Bar (beer, wine and liquor) since I was 10 yrs old. I’m from the US. I’ve never in my life heard of a beer engine. So I’m being very honest can you explain what it is please?!!! I think your talking about a beer tap? Thank you💞

@@hardpass9855 In UK, it's a hand pump /hand pull or just called a pump. Bitters/cask ales are pumped up from the cellar rather than using gas - called pulling a pint. They are served at cellar temperature. The ones that use gas would be called a tap or tap handle and serve fizzy beer usually a larger at cold temperatures. Ciders could be either spending on type.

@iankynaston-richards5239 Жыл бұрын

Beer hand pumps are technically called engines in UK too, but hardly anyone would refer to them as such unless they had experience in the trade. The beer engine was invented in 1691 by John Lofting, a dutch inventor. Using the term "tap" should refer to a beer cask on a trestle with a tap fitted to dispense the beer, but has become shorthand for any cask beer, however dispensed. The real sacrilege comes from dispensing beer with a pressurised CO2 system and such beverages should be avoided.

The UK nearly lost access to its canals in the ‘80s and ‘90’s. Fortunately enough people realized that they were great for recreational boating and the government (and lots of volunteers) worked to rescue most of them. The Llangollen canal was definitely my favourite. So good to go down memory lane with you both. Thank you.😊

i've been a bartender in the US from 1998 til 2020 - never heard a form of beer pour called an engine. we all have different names for things - but i started out in San Francisco, then FL - for most of it, it was Atlanta, GA. we love craft beers, we make quite a few. "craft", "barrel", "cask" - i had to look engine up. :)

Hi guys, the channel you are on prior to crossing the Leek Aqueduct (not bridge) is a relining project I worked on in the early 90's, the basin at the other end of the bridge is one of mine too, various relining projects projects between Leek and the Fron were mine too. Also the approach to the Fron iron aqueduct was aproject I worked on as was most of the basin on the other side plus on and off up the feeder canal to LLangollen. Fun fact, whilst installing joints at each end of the Fron I had to return to my office in a blzzard so walked across in the bottom of the trough. Nicely shot video. Mike B

Another awesome hit for the Wynns, is there any trip they can't make entertaining. They should have their own travel show and take alternate trips all over the world. They are simply the best, who wouldn't countries pay these guys to show off their tourist industry. Narrow boats have just seen a 200% spike in interest overnight. THE WYNNS OF THE WORLD ! Should they be allowed to sail their own boat when they are so valuable to the world's beauty spots?

We travel from Australia every year to wander the canals of the UK on our narrowboat "Lazy Bee" and watch numerous vlogs, especially Cruising The Cut so to watch your take on "our" canals is truly wonderful. Your obvious joy doing what we do for half the year every year is beautiful. Thank you, and hopefully one of the hire companies, ABC obviously, uses your vlog to encourage more people to give it a try. Harley & Shelley NB Lazy Bee.

@chrispearson6706 Жыл бұрын

Great video. I'm in NZ but my understanding Guiness and probably you brew is that the pump forces the beer through a plate with a number of small holes in it. This stripes the nitrogen from the beer and makes very light small bubbles. The beer is flat but has a creamy head. Some cans have a nitrogen capsule in them. They burst when you open the can making a dense foam.
