    Hi Robbie, just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your BBC4 series, excellent gentle tv, perfect for a Sunday Evening, or any other evening really. I enjoyed a brief holiday with friends on the Llangollen a few years back, will definitely be doing more someday soon. Keep up the good work. Cheers

    Great vlog really enjoyed it . Completed this canal earlier in the year and totally agree with your frustrations . If your a cyclist or a walker then it's great if your a boater it's awful. A whole hearted two finger salute from the crt to all who worked tirelessly to restore it just to be left to degenerate into today's shambles,the Manchester section is quite simply the worst canal I have ever travelled on , shame on you crt

    The Huddersfield Narrow has been neglected for too long now. The walls of the canal are collapsing and bringing the towpaths with them, and the locks are so leaky that some sections are little more than puddles. Between Uppermill and Standedge Tunnel was unnavigable when I saw it a couple of days ago, just as boats started using it again after winter.

    What a great shame that The Huddersfield Narrow is so underused. Open since 2001, with a very keen Society working vary hard to look after it, why is the water level so low? Your video was wonderful. All the aspects of your films are superb - the actual filming, the editing and the commentary - many congratulations.

    • @RobbieCumming
      @RobbieCumming  4 года назад

      Hi Sam! Can you rephrase your question? What do you need to know, amperage? Voltage of the panels? Heaviest applicance I use would probably be my hot water heater, through a 300w inverter.
