Ellesmere to Bridge 4W - Llangollen Canal



Montgomery Canal
Off We Go

We are on the move today and it was a nice bright morning as we set off from our mooring.  We went under a bridge, past the Ellesmere Arm and stopped at the services.

Once the water tank was full, we headed off along the canal, this section is quite bendy, we met one or two boats coming the other way but the canal is still pretty quiet.

We then came to Frankton Junction, the junction with the Montgomery canal.  This canal is navigable for about 6 miles and we will go down there on our return.

We went on a bit further and moored up in a nice quiet open spot before Bridge 4W. 

Nice Bright Day

We had lunch then went for a walk along the towpath to the pub, The Narrow boat where there is also a boat hire place.  We walked to the next bridge and did a few caches, then walked back to the pub and called in for refreshments.  It is a nice pub and the chap was very friendly.  We asked about the bus to Oswestry and he gave us a timetable and told us where to wait for the bus, very kind of him.
We walked back to the boat and then chilled out.  We are staying here tonight and then moving on tomorrow.
