Queen's Head to Maesbury Marsh, Montgomery Canal
Another good day from every point of view. Lovely weather, totally serene waterway, hardly a soul about. We estimate that there are less than a dozen other boats moving on this stretch!
We boated to the current end of the restored length at Maesbury, turned and moored up to enjoy the peace and walked around the village which had a very relaxed and genteel air about it. We have discovered that this waterways is one of the most important sites in the world with very rare species of aquatic vegetation here. The result is that there are lots of aquatic flies including the white-legged damselfly, which we haven't spotted, yet!
Todays pic shows what is thought to be the only surviving example of a 15cwt crane built by Omerod & Crierson of Manchester, very anorakish this!
