Froncysyllte To St Martins.

2 Tunnels and 1 aqueduct.

It was still raining quite well this morning but the water level was getting very low.

I kid you not but we actually found a BW man walking along the towpath with a piece of paper in his hand, so...... asking him why the water level is so low he replied with the gem of

"They are working on the feeder and have turned the pumps off!"

The canal is now so low it is practically impassable, it will be interesting to see where this pans out.

Thinking that we had better follow the water down as it drains away we set off for England.

Bouncing along the bottom through both tunnels we crossed the Chirk aqueduct through a carpet of leaves.

The Welsh border is a fickle thing, those two sheep on the left are in Wales and all the others are in England.

Well........ we can go no further and are now safely moored up on the bottom.

The Leeds Liverpool ran out of water on us, the Erewash just didn't have any water in it to begin with and now the Llangollen seems to be suffering a drought.

Strike three and you're out!

BW.....how about an explanation, I won't hold my breath.

Until next time..............
