Llangollen

Our second burst of summer started yesterday and looks as if it has finished today.  It is decidedly cool again tonight and we have just had a shower which has sent everyone into their boats on the moorings in the basin here at Llangollen. 

Yesterday we had a very pleasant cruise up the last few miles through Chirk and Trevor into Llangollen in steadily improving weather with temperatures geeting decidedly warm, 

Last night we walked the final two miles up to the start of the canal (boats other than the horse drawn trip boats are not allowed along here) at Horseshoefalls on the Dee.

Today it was pleasantly warm until about 2pm when the clouds started getting greyer and thicker.  We lazed the morning away chatting to crews of neighbouring boats (including Brian and Carol off Arcadia that we photoed in Ellesmere).  This afternoon we walked down to the station and caught the 3pm to Carrog hauled by Foxcote Manor
