Nantwich to Wrenbury
Today, we turned left and left the Shropshire Union Canal and moved on to the Llangollen canal, and so Vagabond has returned to truly Welsh waters again. We are keen to do this stretch now as it is an extremely popular route in summer, having said that there are plenty of boats doing the same as us today. We learn that there is to be an impromptu closing of a lock tomorrow to allow British Waterways to deal with a very badly leaking lock gate. We easily get beyond this particular lock and arrive at Wrenbury (a Domesday village) for the night. Here there is a lift bridge just like the one in Talybont on Usk, where you can stop the traffic, so we will enjoy that tomorrow.
It could take about 5 days to get to Llangollen as we plan to boat along the navigable length of the Montgomery Canal on our way.
