Dateline: April 1
A llanblogger exclusive can report that initial ideas are being promoted to bring to Llangollen one of the regional heats of the 2023/4 British Water Ski Championships.
Group spokesperson David Davies says that our stretch of canal here in Llangollen from the Horseshoe Falls to the Llangollen Marina offers an appropriate measured distance for the event.
He explained: "Currently used by unpowered craft, canoes and more recently paddle boarders, the route offers considerable skill tests.
"These include even for the experienced skier the challenges of the narrow bridges, angled curves of the course, variable grading of the canal base and the continuous flowing current.
"Logistics at either end of the course are well provided with parking at Llantysilio Green and access to the start and parking and services at the finish in the Eisteddfod field car park adjacent to the Marina."
He added: "Detailed talks are yet to be arranged with the Canal and Rivers Trust and the British Water Ski and Wakeboard Association, but we see this new initiative as another first in promoting Llangollen and a further welcomed boost to the tourism opportunities for the town."
