Found a dog friendly pub serving food, with a wonderful garden overlooking the river.

Barney doesn’t seem to interested in the view though…

We walked up the canal from the Marina to Horseshoe Falls, which is where the entire Llangollen Canal gets its water from the River Dee.
A lovely afternoon – not too hot and not too cold (again).
We saw several of the horse drawn tourist boats on route, and found many geocaches.

We’ve finally arrived at the marina in Llangollen, where we will stay for a day.
Hard work through the narrow bits, but not TOO many other boats – though the ones in the other direction tended to be in large packs, making passing interesting…

Just waiting to go through the last narrow section to Llangollen

We’ve now (finally) moored in the sunshine near Chirk Marina.
Not sure what our plans for tomorrow are yet – may explore a bit before tackling the Pontcycsyltte Aquaduct…

Not the most exciting place for a dog, but Barney has been admired by countless Americans who are missing their dog.

A nice place for us, though.

Passed over this VERY slowly due to the hire boat in front – then through the tunnel at almost a standstill…

Now walking to Chirk Castle

There were a lot of boats moored below the locks last night, so we had an early start and went through without any delays.

Now stopped for breakfast in the early morning sun – looks to be another nice day.

We all had a walk around Cole Mere in the sunshine this morning.

Then after getting supplies at Ellesmere, we stopped for lunch near Frankton locks.

We have now moored near Hindford, with the promise of a dog friendly pub nearby. Though Barney is currently in disgrace for jumping off the boat while we were passing under a bridge…

The day has clouded over a bit, but it’s still warm and dry.
