I am not sure why you have listed the route like that - are they what you are planning on each day of the trip?

Yes, that's our daily plan. 

[Shroppie Canal help, and handy hints required.]

Hi, a few of you were kind enough to help me last year with all things ‘Llangollen’’. This year we are doing parts of the Shroppie and was wondering if I could ask again for help this year. 

 

This our current plans. 

 

Bunbury to Nantwich

Nantwich to Audlem

Audlem to Beeston

Beeston to Chester

Chester to Ellesmere Port

Ellesmere Port to Christleton

Christleton to Bunbury

 

Is there anything we should do / see. Any shout outs for places to eat / drink. Farm shops / food shops. Any current issues along the way. That sort of thing. 

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

We are back after a fabulous week on the Llangollen canal. We were lucky with the weather apart from getting very wet one afternoon as we were in the last of the locks at Grindley Brook and a storm hit. 

 

All went smoothly apart from the narrow parts when someone from another boat had gone ahead to check for oncoming boats and then returned and said it was clear rather than stopping any boats from entering and radioing / phoning back so, bedlam. 

 

Eat out a lot.  All excellent food. 

 

Bull & Dog, Coton. We moored at Bridge 43 and got a cab. Excellent cab company Wem Taxis

Castle Tandoori, Chick

Dee Side Bistro, Llangollen

Thai Gate, Ellesmere

Horse and Jockey, Grindley Brook 

The Barbridge Inn, Barbridge

Lockside café, excellent flat white and I’m told fabulous ice cream. 

 

Thanks again everyone. 

 

Now investigating part of the Shropshire Union Canal for next year.

Hi, I was looking for help / hints on a couple of things in regards, to the Llangollen canal. 

 

• Has anyone got a list of water stops. I am checking maps / apps but looking for current 2021 stops
• Has anyone got a list of grocery stops near canal. Either a little local one or larger store. 

 

Thanks in advance.
