Well our journey along the Llangollen is progressing.  So far we have travelled 28 miles and worked 19 locks and 3 lift bridges.  So plenty of variety.  The scenery is beautiful, although the canal is quite windy in some places, also shallow so we have been aground a few times, but so far not too stuck.  Last night we moored at Ellesmere.  Mostly the canal is quite remote from housing.  A few villages and several pubs.  I am writing this but not sure when I will get to post it as the internet is very elusive. We are enjoying the sunshine though, lots sunscreen and big hats!  Looking for shade when we moor up!  Getting excited now about finally getting to cruise the Pontcysyllte  Aquaduct over the River Dee.  This has been our ambition for many years.  All that far up with no tow path on one side, just the narrow width of the channel.Well hopefully I will be able to post this soon, so further updates will be a bit sporadic as it will be a while before we leave these rural pastures.  Will probably check out the Montgomery Canal too whilst we are passing.
