Hi Paul Well it is your best buddy and is it the River Dee being crossed by the Llangollen Canal via the viaduct ,surely he is not cycling across The Dee

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Nowhere near, Mike!

Paul`s been snooping round Facebook and found my picture of Reddish Vale, which is in Stockport

I used to oil paint many years ago and managed to get one on the front cover of the local history magazine…………..Stockport Heritage 1994………….Boy!…..Was I pleased!

But I hasten to mention, I once canoe`d over the said Ponty` viaduct about 1956

Here`s another of my pix…….Monsal Dale in Derbyshire

That's strange ! The Dean Singles were numbered from 3001 to 3080.

I wonder where this one came from?
