Tuesday 24 February 2026 - The Llangollen Canal

The kayaks came into use for Jeanette, Sue and Paul, the latter of whom took turns in the red kayak whilst Jeanette skillfully manoeuvred the yellow kayak without contriving to fall out.

Rick and I looked on.

We passed several sculptures and information boards on our way to the Trevor basin, about three km from where we started.

This was after crossing Telford's aqueduct at Pontcysyllte, where Sue lingered above the parapet.

Here's a sculpture for AlanR.

There's another excellent café by the Trevor basin.

Then we all walked or kayaked 7km more to Llangollen. 

Lunch was taken beside the canal, before we returned the same way.

Cows drank and Song Thrushes sang as we passed through lovely countryside. 

There were splendid views in the late afternoon to the nearby railway viaduct. 

Here's the route, there and back amounting to 20km on the lovely sunny day.

I'll expand this posting later. Meanwhile we enjoyed a superb meal at The Hand.
