Above Grindley Brook locks on Llangollen canal back onto Shropshire Union canal, via Wrenbury
Well, it has been a really dreary 2 days, and today has been particularly hard going thanks to heavy persistent rain, especially doing locks. Consequently, the boat engine room has a fair sample of dripping clothes and footwear!
We treated ourselves to a meal out last night at a very friendly pub called The Dusty Miller at Wrenbury, which we recommend. It is alongside the canal and right by the electric road bridge, which in summer must provide light entertainment for diners.
We moored just below the last lock down off the Llangollen and lo and behold within an hour or so it became evident that a boat going onto the Llangollen had become wedged - too wide for the lock! At one time the boat was perched in the lock a foot above the water level. Eventually British Waterways arrived and sorted it out with a crowbar!
over 2 days: 19 locks
