Your recent holiday on Finch - Red Backed Finch from Goytre Wharf

We loved our week on the Monmouth & Brecon Canal. The staff at Goytre Wharf were very friendly and helpful, giving us a thorough explanation of how everything worked, the boat was comfortable and the galley was well equipped. We were blessed with wonderful weather which enhanced the stunning scenery.

Your recent holiday on Spirit - Atholl Brose from Falkirk

Wir hatten richtig Glück mit dem Wetter, da 10 von 13 Tagen trocken und sonnig waren. Bei üblichem schottischem Wetter könnte die Freude etwas gedämpft sein, da das fast 18 m lange Boot von hinten im Freien ohne Dach gesteuert werden muss. Außerdem ist das Steuern des Bootes durch 90° Kurven und schmale Durchfahrten recht anspruchsvoll, obwohl weder Führerschein noch Vorkenntnisse verlangt werden. Route und Zwischenstationen müssen vorgeplant werden. Diese Art von Urlaub ist auf jeden Fall etwas für wetterfeste Leute, die das Abenteuer lieben. Da die Kommunikation mit Basis, Schleusenpersonal etc. immer mündlich, viel telefonisch, erfolgt, sollten mindestens 1 oder 2 Leute sehr gut Englisch sprechen und verstehen können. Letzteres ist beim schottischen Akzent nicht ganz einfach. ;-) Auffallend ist die Aufgeschlossenheit, Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft sowohl des Personals als auch der einheimischen Bevölkerung. Begrüßung zwischen Personen auf dem Weg entlang des Kanals und Bootsbesatzung ist Usus. Klare Empfehlung, sofern man sich als dafür geeigneten Urlaubertyp sieht.

We left from Whitchurch to Llangollen and back and it was a really great route, especially being rookies and it was our first trip. The boat was very nice and the route and views were stunning. The staff at Whitchurch marina are absolutely top notch and they made the trip as smooth as it could have gone.

A week was perfect for a leisurely return trip to Trevor, through the tunnels and over the aqueducts twice. We didn't do big days and had a full rest day at Ellesmere.
