Well folks I am lost for words .. I really don't know how to describe what I think about this vlog from you... Only one word comes to mind . Stunning.. In every way. This is why your channel stands out above all others. Perhaps one day people will realise just how much work it takes to produce stunning videos like yours. This is all I have to say. Apart from keep yourselves safe and well.🐐🐐🐐.

Takes me back, when I was 8/9 years old (early 70's) we went on a family holiday on the Llangollen canal on a boat called "Willeymore" at that age ì thought it hilarious

Lovely vlog, love the Llangollen Canal walked along it many times. Wanting to do the section after Lower Frankton but might have to wait til next summer suspect the tow path might be a tad muddy after all the rain we've been having this year! 😮I spent many an hour as a kid in the farm house you showed by bridge 5, it had a double seater privy down the garden, now that's togetherness!! Lol!

Good blog today. Have seen many blogs on that canal and always thought it was very nice. Always thought it would be a good place to hang out, or over -winter. Have a good one and stay safe.

Those awkward colours still holding. 😅 I agree, wrenbury is lovely. Nice little chandlery at the marina too. I remember going through the lift bridge solo, it’s a slow one to operate, seems to me the ones you can crank are a lot quicker.

@ yes, they let you use the Elsan if you buy something from the shop. I walked much of the canal from wrenbury to ellesmere, driving my car down to a spot then walking back, that way really gives you a feel of the canal and the area. I moored at marbury next which was a particularly quiet spot

Good morning we have seen a 65 foot narrow boat for sale, but we are unsure of how restrictive the length would be on the canals ? We are planning on living on our boat and being constant cruisers like yourselves. Any advice would be a much appreciated.
@GaryCaptainPhillips3 күн бұрын
You would certainly be restricted with a 65' boat. I know the Leeds/Liverpool would be out of your reach but you could definitely cover a lot of waterways. Our friends Steve & Chris on AmyJo have a 67' boat and they've been cruising for years, a 57' boat is a 'go anywhere' boat
