Yes, we finally made it. But what a journey, spectacular scenery all th way to Chirk Aqueduct, Chirk Tunnel, Froncycyllte, Poncysyllte Aqueduct, Trevor, Llangollen Narrows, and the moorings.
£12.00 gets you 48 hours, water and electricity.
It's a long walk back from the town, made long by the steep hill and steps to the moorings. If we stay too long here I thing we could get fit, can't be having that.

| Today's start point. |
 |
| As we turn the bend the Chirk Aqueduct presents itself. |
 |
| The railway viaduct. |
 |
| They certainly knew how to build structures in those days. |
 |
| Waiting our turn at the Pontcysyllte. |
 |
| 120 foot drop into the River Dee. |
 |
| Some lovely properties nestled in the valley. |
 |
| Looking back along the Ponty. |
We had an early tea in the Corn Mill, sat outside woth a view of the river and railway station.
 |
| The Corn Mill - cracking food. |
 |
| The Railway Station. |
Barge parking:-
 |
| Almost full! |
TQ is in there somewhere.
 |
| Ah! There... Note to self - we won't park our barge here again unless it's empty. |
Never a dull moment on the canals, the Air Ambulance landed near the town this evening, caught it just after take-off.
 |
| It was on the ground for 3/4 of an hour, then away to hospital. |
Earlier it was all hustle and bustle here in the moorings, now it's all gone quiet, there's hardly a sound, just the birdies singing their evening song.
