This little video shows the growth and decline of the canal network on an easy to see map, it’s well worth a few minutes of your time!

So I want to build a website featuring many canal restorations, all of my videos and links to each trusts Facebook etc with embedded feeds and my videos embedded. It’ll be a large website with many layers and I obviously don’t want to spend the earth! I currently use Wix for my plumbing website which I made years ago and haven’t edited for a long time. I tried Squarespace before for an earlier website I planned for the channel and really liked it but the prices are significantly more! Any advice on who to use, preferably ones I can use myself with my limited technical abilities! I’m also open to sponsored ads if it makes it cheaper

It was a pleasure to welcome Dave Robertson MP for a tour of our restoration work today, despite the rain.

So I had a video recorded for the Mon & Brec Canal including the rally on the steps of the Senedd but due to the good news coming from the Welsh government and all parties involved I’ll not be editing and releasing it at this time as I don’t think it’s necessary to be negative towards those who are actually acting on things now.

It looks like the petitions, the rallies and the hard work by some key groups is working, I’d highly advise joining the group Preserve and Protect the Mon & Brec, it won’t let me tag but will try to add in the description.

Thank you to Preserve & Protect The Mon & Brec Canal who have been instrumental in keeping the pressure on and for arranging the rally showing the strength of feeling.
