Nov 26, 2025, 8:12 PMMany years ago, I did a canal trip with friends up there, and went down (up?!) that Llangollen canal branch. Lovely place.

Yes. And a great community to live in. Plenty of oddballs, artists, lefties, LGBTQ and just old school decent people. Unlike here which is at best 'conservative'. I've been back twice by boat and several times by car to go to the International Eisteddfod. Going by boat again next year.

Lovely canal, though we haven't navigated it ourselves since October 2020 when we also did the Montgomery branch.- Phil Thane ✅pthane@toot.walesSep 12, 2026, 10:54 AM
@marjolica @bytebro @Exagone313 @devxvda Since we left 10 years ago I've been back twice by boat and several times by car for the Eisteddfod. Was hoping to go by boat this year but the canal breached near Whitchurch. Hoping to go next year but probably earlier in the year, water shortage are getting to be a problem in July...
