BRIDGEWATER CANAL BREACH Siphoning Has Begun! When Will we Float? 20th of Jan Update

#bridgewatercanal #canalbreach #bridgewatercanalbreach
Today 20th of Jan, 2025. I head straight to Agden Bridge on the Lymm side of the Bridgewater Canal breach. Because today is the day that water is finally pumped back into our side of the breach, so all 30 boats can once again float. It isn't going to be an overnight filling, it will take several days. But today we're watching the process of them setting up the Siphon and check out the process of how the canal is filling up and the level of it, throughout the day.

Hello and welcome to Taylors Aboard. Im Josh and I live on a 70ft Narrowboat with my Parents, Diane and Andy.

When all of this first happened I felt you were all going to be stuck there for at least a couple of months, really pleasing to see how well the people in charge have been throughout this incident. Your coverage is great Josh, daily watching for me.

Hey Josh
Tim from Eastern Cape...South Africa.
I also suffer from anxiety....
I find your content quite therapeutic and narrowboating has been a fascination.
I was a commercial fishing Capt on the squid/ chokka/ calamari boats.
Frozen at sea.
Keep it up.
All Of The Best.

This part of Cheshire was my stamping ground 50 years ago, I’ve got addicted to your vlogs, they’re very very good, you deserve that 100k!

[johndrew]

Thanks for these frequent vlogs Josh, and Diane for the responses and Andy for keeping the car going despite the weather, a job that is never easy! You have given a whole new view of life away from the rat-race.

The moments when you fly the drone are so peaceful, thanks for choosing music that matches. Your fly so smoothly

[vivellasmum]

Oh I really hope Josh gets to his goal. Another 60k is a tall order. We just need to keep sharing & I reckon youtube is still suggesting the channel to people as I keep getting Taylors videos come up on the right hand of the screen. Josh you make funn, interesting videos with superb drone footage & photography, you deserve to hit your goal. I was thinking what a smart guy you are, that's why you're able to bring such quality videos to us. I look forward to my updates but I'd watch anything you uploaded now! Thank you!

I can’t believe how fast it goes up just with that pipe! Just shows how much water can be lost through a leak. 41.4k subs now Josh, That’s amazing too! 😆

I know it's a little early but I wanted to say this because I know I'll forget when the 22nd comes around. Happy birthday Josh, I hope you have a wonderful day 🎂 🎉🍻

Stumbled across your vlog the night of the breach and have been avidly watching ever since. Thanks for your informative and interesting take on things. Good luck with everything dude...

[TheTillerPeopleNarrowboaters]

👍👍 Slow & steady is working safely, great news. The siphon is so useful, same method we use on our garden pond. Hope all continues to go well. Thanks for the update 👍👍

Water strong enough to rip through a canal embankment or simply wash a car windscreen. Whatever floats your boat as the saying goes . well done Andy for looking after the washers on the car and well done Josh for looking after all the watchers on the channel. Very entertaining big thumbs up.
