The journey into Llangollen was very hard going against the 2mph current created by the 50million litres of water that flows down the canal daily but the moorings, provided by British Waterways at £6 per night including electricity, are very good complete with views across the town.
Sunday evening after a very hot day and with nothing on the TV I decided to go for a walk when I saw a red balloon come over the hill heading towards Llangollen. It then decended and no amount of gas burning would get it up again as it headed for the centre of the town. It narrowly missed chimney pots, the church and eventually landed in an open space behind the church. A most interesting half an hour with the usual group of boaters to watch the events unfold.
