We love spending time onboard Kodran and so when we had a month to play with back in September, I came up with a very ambitious plan to take us to Llangollen and back. My wife soon put paid to that, regaling me with memories of the 2 week, whistle stop Four Counties plus Birmingham tour I forced her relatives on back in 2007. She wanted an actual rest on her vacation, imagine that! So a leisurely float up the Shropshire Union it was then.
