"I’m all for restoring the canal but if they can do the Montgomeryshire section as horse-drawn, that would be a huge help. It’s going to bring more money into the area – people will have to pull up for the night – and having horse-drawn boats makes it a much quieter, more leisurely pastime".
When he says "people will have to pull up for the night" he's obviously talking about visiting boaters, rather than trip boats working from dedicated locations. What planet is this bloke on if he thinks boaters are going to buy and take on lifelong responsibility for a horse so that they can visit the re-opened section for a week or so?

I imagine the horses will be for hire along with an appealing young lady for the handling.

I'm imagining a local yokel with a horse plying for trade with the said passing boats. It would be a bit like getting a tow through a tunnel in the olden days of yore innit.

Maybe they could offer a tiered service.

Maybe they should get teams of sheep to tow the boats.

I think a scantily clad young lady will be alright. No need to get the ruminants out for this.

How long until it’s the same on more of the network? It would be much cheaper to maintain if it didn’t have to be navigable. Maybe half the network for nature half for boats with propellers.
