  • I look at the canal restoration at Crickheath starting at bridge 85 on the Montgomery Canal walking towards the new Schoolhouse bridge 86 A great deal of work has been done this year by the Volunteers It would be amazing to see this canal open all the way to Newtown Can't see it happening in my lifetime Hopefully I'll see it reach the wash border or even Welshpool can't see it getting to Newtown anytime soon

    If you do further episodes, would you please ensure that you pan camera over bridge archways so that the individual bridge number can be seen ? That way, we viewers will be able identify exactly where your walk is taking place.

    Nice job done there . But now in 1.1. 2025 the Bridgewater canal has a big breach in it and the Narrowboats will need help there as there Narrowboats are on the tilt.

    Thanks for the vid. I like to stay up to date. I'm really really confused though. please tell me why the mile marker appears the wrong way round??? you say your heading off toward Newtown but the mile marker says Frankton! very confusing. my only guess is the marker is in a most confusing temporary home.

      It’s about reading it in the direction you are coming from, it’s easier to read than a flat sign as you approach

    That is really bad restoration if you are going to do it at least do it properly and complete it I would not donate any money to that because you are not completing it properly

      I'm not sure what you mean by a really bad restoration there are reasons why they it the way they do it. What don't you like?

    I would love you to make a video of the next section of this canal.
    That is the unrestored section beyond Schoolhouse Bridge that is
    1 1/2 miles long and connects to an open section 1/2 mile long in WALES.
