Whitchurch to Ellesmere
The Llangollen certainly tests ones steering and manouvering skills especially in the strong wind. Todays route has been very twisty with moored boats hidden round blind corners, goodness knows what it is like in mid summer. Saw our first hotel boat today - rather disappointing as it was just a narrow boat - no motor and butty. We could see the crew inside doing the ironing! the guests must have been on a trip, or there weren't any!
We moored at Ellesmere at lunchtime and haven't moved since. This place is rather attractive and quiet but alas a Tesco is being built at the end of the canal arm into the town, so no doubt all will be changed thereafter.
Our picture today shows how we nearly had an extra mouth to feed! (Note e bay flower boxes!)
