Rhoswiel, Llangollen Canal to Queen's Head, Montgomery Canal
Well it's been another hard day in the office! blue sky, warm sun and a gentle breeze. Slightly earlier start today as we had booked a passage onto the Montgomery canal and there is only a 2 hour slot, and a strict control of boat numbers as the 7 navigable miles of the restored 'Monty' is a special site of scientific interest and also in a special conservation area. Speed is no more than 3mph so as to conserve the vegetation and wild life en route. It is rather like having turned onto a waterway sanctuary- no boats, no people, no litter, and only nature to listen to. We would say don't go on the Llangollen without taking in this treat.
Pic shows Commemorative stone to graham Palmer who was instrumental in getting the Waterways Recovery Group going and working on the Monty to get it reopened.
This evening we have moored at one of the few places we can, in a village named Queen's Head which has grown up around the pub.
Glad to be doing locks again - 7 today, including a staircase.
