In a possibly foolhardy move, we have a hire boat booked from Trevor on the Llangollen for 7 nights from next week(!). We've done quite a few canal trips in the past (Warwickshire, Stourport & Worcester rings, plus the odd bit of L&L, Grand Union etc) so we're not completely clueless, but the likely busy-ness and one-way sections are raising lots of questions in our planning. We've read up on the Llangollen narrows, know that Grindley is likely to be busy etc. We've entered various scenarios into the canal planner, but still have some questions, if anyone would be willing to share their real-life wisdom: - We know there's a fee for mooring at Llangollen, but nowhere seems to mention booking in advance? - We were loosely hoping to go down the Montgomery, purely as respite from the predicted busy-ness of the Llangollen, but it seems impossible to do and still travel anywhere! If you were trying to do Trevor - Llangollen - Montgomery - onward to ? - Trevor, where would you plan to turn? Or is the Montgomery out of the question? A bit more info: An evening and following morning in Llangollen is non-negotiable due to partner needing to relive his childhood (;-)) We love locks and are a bit worried about the lack of them on this trip, so squeezing a few more out of a trip is always good... but if there are always queues that might be silly? General tips, best time to cross the aquaducts, good moorings, stuff to watch out for also welcome. Thanks in advance, Ali

Walking past the Powysland Museum(The old warehouse in Welshpool) today. One of the Heulwen charity boats going through the lock. Very nice to see. First time in 30 years I have been there when a boat goes through. Dont think they get to Refail(limmit of navigation) very often. Boat looked if it has just been blacked. No dry dock on the Welshpool section.Apparently,there was a dry dock at the Refail.. Cant see any trace of it now. One private boat(a Sea Otter) moored by the museum at the moment.

Hello, Some years ago I was looking at the possibility of getting a mooring on the mill arm feeder at Maesbury Marsh, then owned by Maesbury Marine. I gather that they went bust, or moved on, so does anyone know if moorings can still be had along the feeder since I would like to eventually move my boat closer to Wales, where I live. Cheers, Sal
