Canal Quality

The Wendover Arm junction with the Grand Union is particularly impressive.

 

The narrow bit leading to llangollen and the aquaduct at pontysyli ( whelsh place not sure how you spell it )

 

Pontcysyllte.

Very clever but how do you pronounce it?

 

I've heard it pronounced a few different ways , so I keep quite now as I'm not sure

 

It's pronounced "Cillitbang".

 

Where is this whelsh place you speak of?

 

Yep.... But there no English equivalent of the "ll" noise to phonetic it

Easiest way is pont-ca-silty. I think....
Not strictly correct coz you've ideally got to come from Welsh Wales to get your tongue round it....but its close enough for us outsiders...

 

I can see a muddy puddle near and old iron post.

Yep, Manchester.

 

I’m particularly fond of ‘studio canal’

 

Stick - cur- in the middle will sound closer

But not root canal !

 

About 3 too 4 miles from llangollen just follow the canal .BTW if it's windy take care on the viaduct as the footpath is narrow and the handrail low

 

Canal No 5 is popular with posh ladies
