Wev'e had some internet connection problems in area's we have passed through so the frequency of this blog has suffered. Since we arrived and left Llangollen the weather has been awesome, hot sunny days, mild evenings, even started the boat and done a few miles after dinner. Got back to Hurleston Junction and turned right, may end up in Birmingham in a couple of weeks.
The return crossing of the Aqueduct, an excellent day for drying ......
My cousin Glen who lives in Wales arranged to pick Leonie and myself up last Thursday from Ellesmere and show us a few sights of Wales. Headed to the North West coastal town of Conwy, what a great seaside town. Walked the walls of the Conwy Castle built by Edward 1. The walls were built to surround a town within and they're 1.3 kilometres in length. Edward 1 must have gone down the Job Centre and got some extra help because the castle and walls only took from 1283 to 1287 to build.
Looking back along the top of a wall with Conwy Bay in the distance..
Headed in land and that's Mount Snowdon in shadows, highest mountain in Britain and Wales, 3560 ft. There's a cog train goes to the top and a "café" a few metres from the summit....
Saw some rock climber's, very "crumbly" looking to me...
The day off the boat was great, only problem was I left my camera in Glen's car. He kindly offered to deliver it next morning on his Triumph 800 Triple, another trip of 55 mins, each way. Thanks again...
A bit of maintenance on this classic...
