Llangollen Marina to Rhoswiel Bridge




A rather leisurely start late morning from Llangollen Marina became quite frenzied as soon as we got to the Llangollen trip boat base and the start of the first narrow section wide enough for one boat! So the walkie talkies were useful afterall and we were certainly lucky with the timing of boats moving up and down. We got to Trevor basin for lunch before having to wait our turn to cross back over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. There were boats and people absolutely everywhere - goodness knows what it is like in mid summer. We passed back over Chirk aqudeuct and tunnel much more quickly as the flow is in our favour now.




Moored up after quite a long day, no locks, but plenty of walking and backtracking down the towpath.
