Ellesmere to Chirk Marina
Another day of a real battering from the wind which makes it so difficult for boaters steering around narrow bends and negoiating tight spots. At times it has seemed that we have been pushing water uphill , but it is just the strong current against us. We finished the day going over the Chirk aqueduct, and then through the Chirk tunnel.
Our picture shows the start of our passage in the aqueduct trough, with the higher arches of the railway viaduct alongside, as we moved over the border from England at one end, into Wales at the other.
Tomorrow, at last the real point of all these miles we reach the Pontyscillte Aqueduct and Llangollen.
