We collected the Focus from Wrexham this afternoon and then drove towards Llangollen to check out the hotel our friends will be staying at in a few weeks time- we were concerned that it was some way from the canal. The picture below shows its close! and the scenery on that part of the canal in the spring is fabulous,
Totals today nil for the boat she is having a well deserved rest.
We drove into the hotel car park to be confronted by a collection of Humber cars dating back to the early 1920's. They are holding their annual gathering this week end and have taken over the whole hotel, tomorrow should see upto about 30. We spoke to one proud owner who had travelled up from Bournemouth in 5 hours. Although later on we did see one broken down in Llangollen with the owner lying under it!
