Wednesday 24^th July

Well we have successfully made the return trip over the Pontecysylite Aquaduct.  Yesterday we came on to the Montgomery Canal.  Only is short (7 mile) stretch of it is navigable and you have to book entrance through the locks in advance.  We came in yesterday and leave tomorrow.  So not seeing too many boats here.  It is a very peaceful setting much of the area given over to nature reserve.  Lots of mayfly and damsel flies, although we have yet to see a duck!  Lots of trees growing along the towpath edge so for much of the time it was like we were cruising in a green tunnel.

Well today I am posting two updates as one.  The Montgomery Canal was lovely, and still the weather is being good to us.  We did have rain one night, but can’t remember now which one that was.  We haven’t been able to get internet signal for a while, so I am just hoping that I will be able to post this once I have finished.  We have made a return trip to Ellsmere yesterday where we re-stocked in Tesco.  The supermarket is very close to the canal so that is handy.  We are now making our way back towards Wrenbury.
