After a leisurely early morning, we drove past flooded fields to the town of Llangollen.

With part one completed we ambled up to the canal, crossing a swollen River Dee, and achieved part two at the cafe next to the canal cruise office. Soup and a sandwich fitted the bill perfectly.

| Our Transport |
Our narrow boat left just after 12 for a steady cruise along the Llangollen canal culminating in a crossing of the Pontcysyllte aqueduct. This feat of engineering was constructed by Thomas Telford (although he probably had some help) and stands 125 feet above the River Dee.

The walk back was pretty uneventful and fairly quiet, passing a few walkers and being passed by a few cyclists. Luckily, the weather held and I arrived back in Llangollen an hour and a few minutes after setting off.
