Hail to the Hive!

On our way to Llangollan we hit some pretty terrible weather and usually we would have pulled up, tied the boat up and stayed inside badger the Narrowboat until it was better.

But as they were going to be closing one of the locks for maintenance we had to keep on chugging and get there before the closure or we wouldn't be able to see the beautiful aqueducts at Chirk and Pontcysyllte. So we chugged through the rain and when the tunnels appeared i was acrually grateful as at least it was dry in there!

Despite the rain the scenery was amazing and it was a good scouting mission to ook for places to say for on the way back.

We made it and the first of the 2 aqueducts was Chirk which is the border between England & Wales.

Then Pontcysyllte!

Which terrified me haha.

But it was well worth it for the amazing views.

When I dare look.....

and i was smiling when we reached the other side on the way back

phew!

But we've now been across a few times in different weather and @diveratt even came along for a crossing and took some drone shots for us.

This was 100% well worth the effort to get here and I am glad we decided to come and stay for a while as it is so incredibly beautiful.

I hope you enjoy the video footage as it gives a very different perspective than still photography.

Enjoy!
