After a brilliant couple of days in Llangollen its time to leave and at 07.40 we untie ropes and head out of the basin and then back down the Llangollen canal.
There was only one thing that put a dampner on our trip to Llangollen and that was a boater having his mooring ropes set on fire in the basin.We do not know if he had upset someone or was just unlucky, but it is the first time we have ever heard of this happening and it is a bit disturbing. He was told by the boater moored next to him to inform the Police as this has to be Arson and could have ended up as a very serious incident. Lets just hope he did so that the culprits can be caught…
After leaving Llangollen we soon arrive at Trevor…That's handy . With boats coming over the Pontcysylite aqueduct we have a twenty minute wait until the crossing is clear.
A boat coming slowly over the aqueduct towards us.
Not everybody has a head for heights. Carolyn prefers to be below decks where she feels a lot safer.
This has to be one of the only World Heritage sites with a working Sewage Treatment works below it. Not that I know what one of them is.
Passing through Froncysylite and we pass this boat !!! What a strange name for a Boat !!
After a good days cruising we picked up this mooring by this beautiful old Oak tree.We will have another early start in the morning as we want to get on and head back South to complete our Summer cruise for this year. !!!!!
Happy Days
