The Montgomery

Hello folks,


No photos today, because we haven't taken any. We are on the Montgomery canal, it's very very rural. It is only navigable for seven miles and passes through just two settlements, village is too big a word. So it would just be pictures of fields.

You have to book a passage through the locks at it's start and then there is only a two hour window while they are open. So as a result the canal is very quiet and the holiday boats seem to give it a miss, which is lovely.

It's taken us two days to do the seven miles to the end of the navigable stretch. It's been very relaxing and has given me time to play with the engine and get my fettleing spanners out. Maya is purring like a kitten.

Tomorrow we'll be back on the main branch, and the holiday hire boats will be back to torment us, ah well enjoy the peace while we can.
