Just by some new-build houses, (and between Ness and RichHL, nice company :-) ) so I couldn't resist looking up to see what they sold for. 3-bed detached sold for £277,000 in May '20 :-0 No wonder people are flocking out of cities to the countryside!

good place to park. Look like they might have a picnic they can share!

There is no falling behind Elsie Too, it's a personal challenge, not a race 😊

Enjoy your locked gate though, I know nothing about waterways 😇

um - I’ve walked and cycled stretches of the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal and have always fancied boating on it. It’s not the most expansive part of the canal network, just a short A to B and back again, but the surroundings are lovely.

[Synge - we took a midweek break hire - from Gilwern. Just enough time to chug up to Brecon and back.
It was fantastic - if you like life at 3-4mph, can steer a 50ft barge with a rudder the size of a plate, and able to cope with the 1-2 minutes between moving the rudder and anything happening. Oh, and the plentiful cups of tea and pub dinners.

Main advice from the rental co in the 10 min 'teaching' (ie first 1/2 mile up the canal)
- it's a ton of boat. If it's going to crash, let it. It was built to cope. It will crush & break anything you put in the way to try and stop it.
- don't be the first one of the day through the tunnel. You'll be covered in spiders & their webs. ]
