The River Dee 126ft below....
The man doing some fenceing and his quad bike don't look to big from up here...
Looking back, there's about 5ft of water in the trough....
To get there you go through two tunnels, Chirk 459yrds.....
And the Whitehouse tunnel 191yds.....Not much room on the side. This canal has a continuos flow of water from Horseshoe Falls weir above Llangollen running down it which causes quite a current in the narrow tunnels and makes steering tricky. The water flow ends at Hurleston Junction reservoir, about 55 miles then is treated and used for domestic use in the city of Crewe.
Crossing the Chirk Aqueduct, 70 ft to the river, with the rail aqueduct beside.....
Went for a walk, about 9pm, not dark till 10pm, that hand rail is on the Far side...
Walked back across aqueduct, Let the Rail GO........
Then walked down to almost river level.....
On the boat Leonie say's politely, " have you passed wind", no it's the wild Garlic growing amongst the tree's, strong smell....
A few 'Big Horn' sheep....
Old stone canal side house....
And after a 'Big Day' what better than a Pork roast with sea salt rubbed crackle, Good cook that Leonie.......
