Bridge 10 to Marbury. 4 locks, 2 lift bridges.

The reception here is getting worse so if the Blog is not updated daily I will catch up as soon as possible.

This morning was sunny and the rest of the day stayed sunny, probably because I hid the sun tan lotion.



The LLangollen is shaping up to be a very nice canal at the moment. We are suffering hire boaters here though, you would not believe what some of them can get up to with a boat. I think that the best way to handle them is be aware that they are on holiday, have a good laugh and keep well clear.

Here's D winding away at this lift bridge, she got stuck on that side for quite a while because as soon as she had opened it a couple of boats came from around the bend while others left their moorings on the bank and passed through.

This one was a bit easier as it was electronic and hydraulically operated. All you needed was the right key and a finger to push the button. Being able to stop the traffic to let the boat pass is always good.

It never fails to amaze us as to where all the people come from to watch things like this. That bridge was up for no more than five minutes and look at the little crowd that has gathered.

We haven't gone too far today as we don't want to be up at the top end of the canal at the same time as the hire craft, it will probably get a little crowded to say the least.

So until tomorrow................
