    Any Ideas Where?

    in Where was this Taken ?

    Posted

    No, its narrow enough for the boat to look after itself. You can get off and take your photos, or if really scared go in the cabin!
    The water is actually the full width of the aqueduct with the towpath suspended over it, so you are not pushing against a narrow gap even if you are going upstream (there is a flow on the Llangollen as it supplies drinking water from the Dee at Horseshoe Falls down the canal to a reservoir near the bottom).

    Google?

    We only walked over. But when someone came from the other direction you needed to either hug the handrail and pretend you didn’t see them or walk on the edge of the trough. What amazes me is the spindles on the handrail are nearly a foot apart any smaller person could just slip through. I saw a program on the goggle box a while ago where an elderly lady was being interviewed and she recalled of how when children had to cross the aqueduct going to school in the mornings if a horse came the other way they would simply swing through the gaps and hang till the horse passed rather than be late for school. Hells teeth.

    I’ve noticed that this thread is also being used by certain people to have a political dig at how it’s been run. It would have been impossible for any governing party to make sense of this and we should all do as advised regardless of which party is in power.

    in Fishing on The Broads

    I agree about the cyclists. (Some) the ultra skinny Lycra wearing ones. Most people use the cycle lanes that has cost the government millions but those herbets don’t use the buggers. It’s a bit like fishing platforms and moorings. Hey ho. It’d be nice to know that the fisher folk could go though. It’d mean boating as well.

    Yeah we did our bed linen then as well even though it didn’t need it. I think we left some dishes on the sink after having a curry the night before thinking we’d be back next day. It’ll be ok. We all need to buy bloody great big oars because none of the boats will start.
