Totals to Day 47 are now
Memorable events now 11 latest increase is seeing the push/pull train yesterday running on the Llangollen railway. It reminded me of the time I used to travel between Greenford and West Ealing in the late 1950's with my mother- blimey I am getting old.
Cappuccinos 10 - latest is Costa coffee in Llangollen which is a bit of a mecca with 3 outlets
Lift bridges 19, locks 126 and miles 283
Our old friends Bill&Clare and Rob&Lynda (by time not age-their request) from Bexhill arrived Friday evening and so did the rain. Saturday's trip over the Pontycysyllte aqueduct was wet but there were still many gongoozlers (name for those who come and look) about. By the time we reached Llangollen and walked to The Royal Hotel for a late lunch it had stopped.
As our visitors had left Sunday was dry, cloudy and a bit cold out of the sun so time was spent exploring around town while waiting for our next visitors on Monday Pip and Richard who are considering buying their own narrowboat soon.
A point of clarification has been requested in regards to my cappuccino list.
I had set out to record the places which can be reached by foot from the canal which provide a good cup of cappuccino coffee. I do not intend to say which is the best. So far Llangollen has been my Mecca. We are now leaving the area so will probably be entering the canal cappuccino wilderness again- so please wish me luck.
