    Liz,
    Thank you, I always thought that the Coventry canal ran from Coventry to Fradley junction.
    Then the Birmingham & Fazeley ran from Fazeley to Birmingham.
    If I had concentrated then realised that part of the Coventry is the B & F !
    Proves the point you are always right!
    Take care all of you

We walked up to Castell Dinas Bran while in Llangollen. It's not as challenging as the Bosley Cloud, but the views are great. Bryan & Donna, Quebec, Canada

Just as a heads up though, as much as we love him, he is nuts🤣 definitely not chilled like a labrador and definitely a bit anxious and excitable like a poodle. So sorry to hear that you lost your German Shepherd, its such a heartbreak isn't it. An Ernie would definitely keep you entertained that's for sure 😉😀

    Dear Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie
    The Mac is such a wonderful canal with its scenery. Just such a shame that it could not be dredged and the brush cut back to allow a smoother voyage, oh well.
    Paul with the cooler weather upon you will you change the engine oil to a winter weight or wait for a couple more months? Have you had any issues with "diesel bug" this year?
    Looking forward to your next adventure. What a great way to visit the country side of the UK.

      Hi Mark, just spoke to Paul about your oil question and he said he didn't realise you could change it to a heavier weight, we have however just done a normal oil change in the last week or so.

      @markrant1460 2 місяці тому

      Hi Liz,
      Thank you for the reply. On this side of the planet, in winter, we use a lighter weight of oil (thinner oil) in the winter which is easier on the engine as oil thickens in cold weather and gets stickier.
