Back on the Llangollen

Moored on the Llangollen half a mile from the Montgomery canal

Looking back up the Montgomery to the Frankton locks.

We get many helicopters around they are from the Services Training school at Shrewsbury

The first services and moorings on the Monty, the moorings are on the right and the services on the left. As we were tying up, who should come along but Angela and Trevor on Liberty Belle, we haven't seen them since July

Trevor moving over to make use of the services.


Well it's been an interesting week, we moved on to the Montgomery canal on Tues lunch time, and made our way down to the services, whilst there our friends on Liberty Belle arrived, we hadn't seen Angela and Trevor since July at Braunston, we were at the services then, and as they passed through without stopping, we didn't manage to catch up on the news. So a good chat was had by all, after watering etc. we moved across the arm to the moorings and spent the night there.

Weds saw us on the move, we travelled to Wootton and managed to find a mooring for both boats, the girls went off on the bus to Oswestry to do some shopping, and Eric and I went for a pint in the Queens Head, a very nice pint of Theakstons.

Thurs we moved, in terrible windy weather, on to the present end of the Monty at Maesbury Marsh, we turned and eventually managed to moor up, it was a real battle, the wind wanted the boat on opposite bank to were I wanted it and it took a while to get my way!. We stopped there until Sat and then moved back, in very windy weather, to Frankton locks ready for Sunday, locking out of the Monty back on to the Llangollen.

And so our Summer Journey is nearly at an end.

See you all next week.
