On Thursday 29th July we crossed two of the most spectacular aqueducts on the network.
You round a bend after quite a narrow section of canal with lots of moored boats, and bang! You're straight onto Chirk Aqueduct, accompanied by the parallel railway viaduct.
Then you plunge into Chirk Tunnel. When you emerge, the railway has crossed to the other side.
After the shorter Whitehouses Tunnel, and a lift bridge, it's onto the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, still thrilling, no matter how many times you've been across.
Day 1 of our hols and not the best start.

April 17th
A break in the weather at last and a great morning to set off in MB. Took
far longer to reach our destination though, not because of traffic,...
