0:00:35 > 0:00:39- ..on the Llangollen Canal on a barge - with the funny name Wah-Wah Chugg.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- # Nico Nog #
0:00:43 > 0:00:44- What are we up to today?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- The crew are out for a ride - on the barge.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Mam, Dad, Megan and Morgan are here.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Rene, Gwil and Meinir - are coming too.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55- They're behind us.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- We're about to reach a lock - on the canal.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Oh, no. - Mam's putting a harness on me.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- I look so silly.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11- Mam says it'd be easier to rescue me - from the water if I fell in.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Rene will laugh at me.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Dad, Morgan and myself - are controlling the lock.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Mam and Megan - are steering the barge.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- There they are.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- There you go, Mam. A little further.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Once the barge is in the lock, - we can close the gate behind us.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- The gates are very heavy.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45- Then we walk to the front gate - to let the water in. Come on, Dad!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- There you go, turn the handle.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- This handle is called a winch.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- If it's turned, water pours - into the lock and the barge rises.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Can you see?
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- When the water in the lock is the - same height as the water outside...
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- ..Morgan and Dad cross back - to open the front gate.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- There we go. Push.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- The barge can leave the lock now.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- OK, where's Rene?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- He should be here by now.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Hola, Nico. - Why are you wearing a vest?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- It's not a vest. - It's a harness, in case I fall in.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- That, my friend, - is the reason I stay on the boat.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- That's not fun, is it?
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Maybe so but at least - I don't have to wear a vest.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- It's not a vest!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Give me strength.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- That was fun.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- OK, let's have a quiz.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- # We'll reach the other side soon
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- # It's important to take care - on the bridge above the lock
