Hi Cotswold Canals Connected
When the Stroudwater was first built, a short length at Whitminster used the River Frome. Later, silt problems with the river prompted the digging of the canal by the side of the river, a section that is now lost. Correct? If, so when was that section dug?

This is an excellent book that vividly brings to life the rich tapestry of Gloucester's fascinating history. Highly recommend.

Colourful Llangollen sunrise this morning.

Blast from a summer past on the Kennet & Avon to bring a 😀 whilst my engine is sat on a workbench with a cracked head 🤕

Here's a photo from our archive from 1873 when they were building the new dock at #Sharpness . Just look at the size of that lock gate! Check out the #Sharpness 150 website for more history and events celebrating the dock's construction. sharpness150.org.uk #ThrowbackThursday

Gonna need a horse if I want to move the boat any time soon 😵‍💫

Excellent book covering a period in the 2,000-year development of Gloucester that, unlike previous ages, was a good deal more sensitive to the city's heritage, nowhere more so perhaps than in the regeneration of the redundant, increasingly derelict wasteland that was the Docks.

Delighted to have some of my efforts referenced in this excellent and informative blog.

Cold grey windy day as The Rothen Group work boats, including a crane barge lifted into the water at Whitchurch, head up the Llangollen to fix a serious leak that has closed the canal

Free electricity and the fuel boat bringing coal the day after running out make for a 'smell the flowers' kind of day.

Huge flock of small birds colonised the tree I just moored beneath and serenaded me with a charming symphony, which was lovely. Unfortunately, birdsong was not the only thing to come out of them, and now my boat has a polka dot paint job thing going on, which is not so lovely 🙄

Tail end of this morning's spectacular sunrise on the Llangollen

Big skies over the Shropshire Llangollen, but enough solar this morning to put some juice back into the batteries without any of that infernal internal combustion malarkey.

The reward after a miserable morning of wind and rain, a bruiser of a sunset viewed from the towpath of the Llangollen Canal in the Shropshire boonies, where mobile internet is, curiously, excellent.
