Wednesday 12th August

We left Llangollen about 9am and managed to get through the narrow section (one way working) without incident and then moored for a late breakfast.

Trevor basin was very busy with boats turning in all directions but the wait to go across Pontcysyllte was not too long and it was a perfect day weather wise. Looking back we were able to get a good view of the aqueduct. 

Good weather enabled us to enjoy lunch on the stern wearing the In the Mood T shirts.

It was onward to Chirk with a short wait for the tunnel to clear and then Fiona was able to take us across the Chirk aqueduct and onward into England.

After mooring we walked back across for Fiona to catch her train back to Bristol and Graham and I were able to see the aqueduct from above.

We moored for the night near Gledrid Bridge and were able to enjoy a BBQ, our first since week 1 as the weather has not been conducive to outdoor eating this year!
