Spectacular day's boating although hard work on shallow and narrow stretches of canal - we were lucky there not to meet oncoming but were following a hire boat which steered, apparently, like an aircraft hangar. So we were on tickover most of the way.
Chirk and Pontcysyllte aqueducts were spectacular of course. AJS glad not to be driving!
Weed cutting by CRT upstream gave ADS problems with clogged propellor and loss of propulsion - very glad to arrive. Got a nice mooring in the basin at Llangollen. Costs £6 per night but worth it. Could have plugged into shoreline but didn't.
After a short rest we walked up to the Horseshoe Falls - a lovely setting and a good walk. Then went into town to pick up a few groceries and check out a chippy to help with the burgers on the menu for tonight.
Topped up with water before refreshing our fibres with a beer. AJS went back onto town to pick up some chips.
