Is that supposed to be like that? 🇧🇪🍺

BbbbbRrrrrr, beautiful but bloody freezin´ 🥶

The river bollin over this stretch both upstream and downstream of the canal is actually perched above the natural floodplain and highly modified by channelled banks. It'd be wonderful for the landowners and authorities to get together to come up with a more naturalised form of river channel that would do away with the frequent flooding of little bollington and the mill, .. of course that would necessitate taking advantage of the current canal breach perhaps to create additional room for the high volume of water descending from the bollins upper catchment and some inventive way of bridging the canal over it. If they (Peel) don't intend to undertake repairs then it'd be a crying shame not to do something like that. Ultimately the more extreme flood flows we're going to experience in the future might point us in the direction of wondering where in the catchment and why these high volumes are happening ...is it to do with current land use and thereon this producing a public disbenefit downstream ... something for our generation to chew over I think

Taking a chance flying your drone near power lines😒

Very sad to see this. I doubt it will ever be repaired I imagine the sums involved will be huge. .

When was this taken mate

2:51 up to this point the film is showing the result of an impounded river bollin that is of such flood volume that it can't get through the under canal culvert and therefore backs up flooding the mill and properties in little bollington. There's a huge opportunity here with the canal breach to create a more natural river which will pass flood flows and replace this section of canal with some form of aqueduct

Good footage of the surrounding areas and the bridge Richard. You have covered some areas that the other you tubers has missed. The River Bollin will take away most of the water going into the Manchester ship canal. It joins up near Lymm golf course. The floodland fields are clay heavy so it will take some time to settle. When I was a kid living in LB the fields rarely flooded but now floods a few times a year. Whether it is global warming are all the new housing estates further up the RB. The breach is still happening it has been slowed down by the temp barriers at Agden Bridge and the bridge at school lane.

We cruised the Cheshire Ring way back in 1996. I dug out my old Pearson Guide, my Ordnance Survey map 109 and using them and Google Earth, I was able to follow along with your excellent video. Such a shame. Hope they get it repaired ASAP.

any idea what happened down at the Heatley end?

wow this is mad, thanks for getting this out thar nice one ,new sub🙏

Wow!

Amazing footage, Rick! Hope you and yours are all safe x

Daft music in background 😂

No locks, so canal will empty out

I see two tents at 1:03. Nobody is surely camping for pleasure on 1 January, so they must be homeless. Was a sad indictment of this country if it is the case.

I went running on the tpt yesterday before I knew about this and couldn’t get my head around how the surrounding areas were just like lakes. The tpt itself was above knee high in places. Madness

Luckily, it happened at night realy, you imagine if people were travailing along the canal when it breached, there's not a lot you could do once you're being taken along in a flow of water like that surely once you realise it would be to late ...

It breached in exactly the same place in 1971. The outflow from the canal has gone into the River Bollin, about 20ft below, and will drain into the River Mersey/Ship Canal.

Rip all those fish. Country, and it's weather, ARE ON IT'S ASS! nice video pal.😪🙏

A happy new year, not for the canals, rivers or lakes. Not buying my licence this year if refuse to. See you on the bank, bailiffs.

Never seen the Bollin so high! What a mess. What is it like near Ye olde number 3?

Nice bill for Peel

Dear God, what a disaster. Bet CaRT are glad they're not picking up the bill for this. 😢

A reminder to councils that infrastructure like roads and canals require MAINTENANCE !

All this flooding must be from the Bollin.

This will take years to repair & cost £millions .. no sailing along the Bridgewater Canal for some years to come.

The flowing water is eroding it really badly now.

New year New river I guess

😶... bloody hell

☹

Flipping heck mate it’s bad isn’t it. Is your mums house still flooded.

When we are forced to drive electric cars this will all stop(?). But we won't have the use of a car because the electric infastructure will be so badly damaged by mother nature. So we won't have the cars that we need. Global Warming is a result of the foreign powers we buy so much from like China with their power stations, who are now aggressively putting electric cars on the streets of the world and Russia who have the biggest natural energy reserves on the planet. They want global warming to open up sea routes and trade. Well done to us for helping their economies and assisting with the expansion of their armies. This country, nor the globe would not be in such a mess if common sense prevailed. We are not addressing the problems but will just be satisfied to call these shores "net zero" by 2050. It's going to further destroy our economy and achieve nothing to prevent the effects of global warming.

New year New river

Welcome to 2025

Not far from where it breached in 1971, I believe. That stretch was reinforced. You can see this steel shoring strewn around the breach.
