What an increadable canal. Hopefully there are no major impediments to its completion.

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 .

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.

Brilliant

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...

it will take time

I’m almost 80 now and grew up in that area. I used to look at the canal every time we went from Newtown to Welshpool or Oswestry. Mother used tell me stories about when the boats used to run up into Newtown. Canal Rd having a tannery and a flannel mill. That end has all been filled in regrettable , out to around Llanllwchaiarn, meaning Newtown will miss out when it reopens as it surely will. I just hope that I live too see it.
