Spitting a bit this morning as we farewell the Wirral Peninsula and head into North Wales. An actual sign saying welcome to Wales - Wrecsam. The rain stopped and skies cleared as the day lightened hope it stays for the long boat over the Aqueduct.
Unesco World Heritage site Llangollen where you get the boat over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. The sun came out, the boat was full apart from 2 at the back near the galley with no table....so we grabbed those as the next trip was also full, at 7' wide it is narrower than our Bessie. 2 hour trip boat over the Aqueduct and bus back into town £14 each. Relaxing couple of hours, slow and peaceful through the countryside then over, much shorter than I thought, only 1000' and 128' high, the highest in Britain, a very good trip.
We walked around the town, very pretty area, bought a Welsh oggie (like a cornish pastie) and a Welsh rarebit tart.
Then drove to the Aqueduct at Pontcysyllte where you can walk over and back which we did...not as scary as I thought it was.....pat on the back for me...heehee hee. We also walked the path down to get a shot of it side on. It turned out to be a lovely sunny evening and we met 2 ladies canoeing over the Aqueduct with their dog, so had a drink and a chat with them in the Telford pub opposite the car park we were parked for the night. Named after the Aqueduct designer Thomas Telford.
7pm still sunny and warm a very pleasant evening to end our day.
