llangollen canal access

[Narrowjack]

A question for the more seasoned navigators out there.

Intending to do the Llangollen imminently & it occured that last time I did this [some time ago], I could swear that some of the bridges were power operated & consequently the controls locked away from gen public. If memory serves [& it's getting dodgier these days] said controls were accessed by BWB key. however, I've rung BW & they say no, nothing required but windlass. Is it my deteriorating neural connections or was my informant wrong?

Reason I ask is that I haven't got a key yet [naively thought one would come with my licence].

Hi

 

I can only think of one place you will need a BW key to operate a lift bridge and that is the one at Wrenbury Mill (Alvechurch have a base there).

Whitchurch thru to Lllangollen is windlass only

Do it quick,

Yeah Bottle is correct, we did it last Easter, only place we needed our Key was Wrenbury. Though a key is still useful to access the boating facilities in many places.

Yes, bwb key needed for wrenbury lift bridge, with all the others being mechnical-hydrolic.

 

- But as mentioned, be aware of stoppages that my be coming on after this half term week.
