Nice one Colin, thanks for showing it.

Badger!

Saw the crane today, a great bit of Meccano. It has come all the way from Preston.

The lock and masonry is in excellent condition. That turned wood was pretty amazing.

Great to see two steam locos in service there, since normally they just run their home-based red stalwart. The green scenery is beautiful too! :)

Many thanks for for filming the Carreghofa locks and the Wharfingers house which we rented as a holiday let many years ago it brought back some very happy memories we used to sit at the dining room table which was situated in the bay window which juts out on stilts at the gable end of the house and over looks the canal and locks and enjoy the wonderful views ,we also walked over the Aqueduct many times .it is great to know one day it will be rejoined to the rest of “The Monty” and become a navigable canal once again .

I have ridden behind Joan a couple of times.

Interesting rural walk.. it's quite relaxing

Fabulous.

They are very good.

Nice video Colin, We were stood near (what was) Barclays bank. Video up soon.

Very interesting, some nice layouts from the past.

The wood and canvas canoe in the old photos, is a PBK20 by P.W. Blandford in 50's, Great old photos. Dave

They have done a good neat job. must have cost a fortune. Excellent viseo Colin. We are down your way on Friday.

Once the roof slates were stolen, the buildings on Freestone lock soon deteriated, what a shame! From here the canal is in water to just into England.

Your film ends at the sewer works, the dry section beyond to Dolfor lock and to Freestone lock will be back under the canals ownership, I believe. Dave

I love the old photos of the pumphouse. Dave.

The title could be read 2 ways.. !!

Super video just strolling down the canal path! I've done it many times and took my drone down to see the restoration work party the other day. It's on my channel and I had an altercation with someone who didn't like me filming... some strange people about! Thanks again .

Great video Colin, just like being there.

Thank you for your regular updates. Such a lovely canal with such a calming atmosphere.There is excitment too with the prospect of advancement into the the yet to be cleared sections.

Thank you for sharing this as l doing this walk in cup of weeks ❤

Crikey, Colin that is a bit wet. Not been bad up here in Bolton.

What a beautiful part of the world. This canal project is close to the Cambrian Heritage railway, right on the Welsh border. This area will be due for a grand awakening at this rate! Not being familiar with the area as I live many miles distant, a map showing the canal route with the parts restored, those still to be rescued, plus those navigable woud be so useful .Thanks for such an interesting journey.

A lot of trees to be removed, but basically the canal bed is already there and realtively in a good shape. I hope this will be restored soon and the section south of Llanymynech will be connected to the network in a not so distant future...

😀😀😀👍👍👍

Brilliant

Nice slideshow Colin. It is a beautiful city. I live just outside in Bolton. nice to see Mr. Owen there too.

Very interesting Colin, I can almost smell the wild garlic.

Very interesting photos Colin, will it really be worth the money and effort?

Couldn't hear the commentary!

I remember chugging across this aqueduct in a narrowboat back in 1976. It seemed very high and the weather was very hot.

glad to see anglo welsh still have a good set of boats at Trevor. caroline

Thanks for the update, they certainly look like they're making progress.

Thanks for tthe montage of the Newtown end of the Montgomery canal Colin, you might be the right person to ask, did or was it intended that the canal would join to the river Severn and is the river deep enough in Newtown (used to go yhrough Newtown on my way to Llandrindod but since the bypass not often now) for canal boat navigation?

sorry this video is a bit Glitchy

Looking very good Colin, thanks for the update.

Great progress. Such a joy seeing these old canals slowly coming back to life.

Postcode please or some way of knowing where this is and its context in the canal as a whole.What was the cost, please? Did the County Council pay some or all of the cost? What is the width of the carriageway as it crosses the canal? What input was given by the canal (?) Trust in terms of labour, material and funds? The result is more pleasing to the eye than the original. Well done all who have been involved.

A great job. I look forward to the excavation of the canal taking place.

What does this look like now? Can you do an update video?

A job well done.

really nice to see the progress...

I’m trying to find maerdy on the map? I was hoping to come up this weekend and cover some more but the weather isn’t going to be any good for my drone
