Canal Hunter takes a turn on the Falkirk Wheel 

A beautifully conceived and executed example of Scottish engineering. Thanks Andy.

Many thanks Andy, very interesting. Take care.

built at the historic, and unfortunately now defunct Butterley Engineering, at Butterley iron works Ripely, Derbyshire. Went on it not long after it had opened, and at the end of the trip, the hostess announced "thank you for flying British waterways" :)

Standing at the front approaching from Roughcastle Tunnel is quite incredible as all one can see is the straight aqueduct outlined by the hoops, then the hills beyond. An infinity pool on a grand scale. Standing at the back on the way down you just don't get the impact of the view.

Wheely impressive. As expected!

Nice to see that all of Great Britains engineering hasn't been taken from us. Respect to all concerned and thanks for the video Andy.

Nice to watch 👌 great film as ever

I thought your drone flying had improved by leaps and bounds!

I observed the progress of it's construction during frequent visits from Birmingham, to family in the area. I was there during it's opening in Whitsun 2002. It's certainly an impressive structure! I recall, from visits during the school holidays, the sorry state of the Union Canal in the general area from the 1960's, up to it's renovation. Many parts were full of collapsed masonry and fly-tipping. Now it's a delightful place to spend a few hours. The Forth & Clyde has also had a lot of TLC to make it more navigable.

Andy I did it last year, because I hadn't. It's hardly a white knuckle ride. But....I loved it. We stayed in Falkirk, walked the cut which is magnificently restored, even down to the hook moorings on the locks. But you didn't mention the Kelpies They, alone, are worth the visit to the area. Put the Wheel, the canal, the Kelpies together & you have one of the greatest package visitor experiences anywhere in the UK.

Wow and I thought the Anderton boat-lift was impressive, this is superb thanks for this Canal Hunter episode.

Took my trailer sailer to do the Forth Clyde and Union Canal a few years ago the strange think is you expect the lift to lift. But it starts to move sideways. Delayed on way up because a micro switch failed to work.

That was grand, Andy
