LLangollen
We stayed moored in the new basin at LLangollen (paid another fiver). Went to catch a bus to Betws-y-Coed but somehow missed it. Must have gone early. So John phoned Phil, a friend from Salford University, who picked us up and took us to Pen-y-Pass for an ascent of Mount Snowdon. In our party were Phil, Penny (Mrs Phil), John, David, Jemima and Florence. We went up the Pyg Track route and came down via the Miners' Track. It was great to climb Snowdon again, although no challenge as the paths are so well defined. Must have been at least ten years since the last time I was up there.
We got back to the boat at 2045 for a pork stew which Jan had cooked. Alison had arrived, having come by train and bus. That evening the water filter casing split, causing a small flood. Some crew complained that the water tasted funny.
